Do they do random PED testing during the playoffs? If they do there is a guy in Miami who needs looking into.

Butler is such an interesting guy He could go for 50 in the next game or he could inexplicably take like 8 shots and be completely invisible. He's the only person that can consistently stop Jimmy Butler

If NYK get #11 this year, they have a pretty good package to get a big time 3. Including Mikal Bridges to align the Nova boys.

Not as easy as expected but in the end the Celtics simply have way more talent. Brutal 2nd half from Trae Young. 1/13 from the field. Still the same old story for him. When the refs swallow the whistle he isn´t a threat.

The Clippers, hailed as the new formula for championships, were built around switchable mid-sized wings who could score. And many other NBA teams seem to have embraced that formula. Paint-bound post-up centers? Dinosaurs! Smallish point guards? Huntable!I think these are the right questions. Clippers failure seems more about health of the stars rather than their style of play. The teams with twin towers aren’t having success. Boston has switchable twin towers but is having success. Teams and players built on pick and roll and drawing fouls are not having success(atlanta). Grizzlies built on transition offense and not good in half court are frauds in the playoffs. Teams without multiple great ball handlers (Bucks, nets) are not having success. Seems like switchable bigs for defense and multiple ball handlers for half court offense is the way to go. Shooters and big wings help tremendously as well

Paint-bound post-up centers? Dinosaurs! Smallish point guards? Huntable! Great analysis. We all know the NBA is a copycat league. If teams find success going back to playing big, other teams will try to replicate it. I don't anticipate that being the case anytime soon, however. Free-flowing offense, P&Rs, and spacing are the name of the game currently.

Warriors blew it...they might be done. Either way, I don't see the Lakers losing to either team in the next round unless AD gets another injury.

AD with 4.5 bpg is incredible.

I don't think they should panic. Grizz - FRAUDS Celtics - Will expose Harden and Embiid as FRAUDS Kings - Game 7 baby. 76ers - FRAUDS that will be exposed round 2 Suns - FRAUDS that will be exposed round 2 Cavs - Not serious contenders, but I like them Clippers - Would have smacked the Sons if healthy Knicks - JB. Should be a good series vs MIA Warriors - I fear the league will rig game 7 to get LeChina vs Steph Nets - Dorian Lakers - Could win due to injuries and the fact that they are playing FRAUDS Hawks - Not beating Boston Wolves - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Heat - Played amazing especially Himmy.

Again, the mavs season sucked but being a Grizz fan may not feel much more different today. They are better positioned than the Mavs if Ja stays healthy. But they too were expecting to make a jump this year. To be out in the first round is tough. Especially as they probably played the Warriors better than the mavs in the playoffs last year. The hope for them was definitely conference finals this year.

The hope for them was definitely conference finals this year. The Lakers series was the most I've watched of Ja and I do not see him having a long career as an elite player. The amount of ridiculous impossible for no reason at all dunks he attempts is going to end his career sooner than later. Someone needs to explain to him how dangerous that is. The one where LeBron took a charge and got under him was extremely dangerous. Ja tries to dunk on EVERYONE! He's exciting to watch but his game is 100% athleticism right now. He needs to evolve to have a long healthy career. |
