Thank you for making a thread. Work has been insane for me so I haven't been able to be online at all basically l!

I am still confident about this series. I expect a big game from Luka tonight, as well as an adjustment from the offense, hopefully with fewer touches in the short roll for Gafford and Lively. That's not really in either of their skillsets yet. Gafford just looks to bulldoze when he has the ball, and that's too far away from the rim for that mindset, and Lively is too passive, looking exclusively to kick out to the corner, and immediately.
Need at least one shooter to step up. Three would be better, but one is mandatory if they have a chance of winning. Is this the THJ game?

Keys to the game:
1.Luka be Luka 2.Reduce Turnovers 3. Win the rebounding battle 4. The Refs stop giving touch fouls to SGA (reduce FT attempts) (05-09-2024, 08:05 PM)KillerLeft Wrote: I am still confident about this series.

Teams are blitzing a 1-5 pick and roll(i.e the ball handler gets doubled immediately). The read is for the ball handler to pass the ball to the short roll man (i.e center). If you don't want Gafford or Lively in that position, the pick will likely have to be set by someone else and they will be in the short roll if the defense decides to blitz.

Josh Green playoff career high incoming. Hoping for a Luka miracle or at least a sign he can play with a bum knee moving forward. THJ with a solid 15 minutes. Honestly don't care if this is a loss as long as it looks competitive.

Turnovers, rebounds, Luka. That’s the formula.
05-09-2024, 08:48 PM
I like the start
05-09-2024, 08:51 PM
Luka has that look

Jones has been great all playoffs

Early leads are fool’s gold in this league. But putting Luka on the floor ain’t never worked for nobody.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.

Lively picks up so many awful fouls
05-09-2024, 08:54 PM
Terrible call on Lively for the moving screen

Someone didn’t appreciate finishing 3rd in MVP voting after his historic season…

PJ needs to keep attacking the basket
05-09-2024, 09:04 PM
Luka’s knee looks okay so far.

Luka's critics are keeping quiet right now.
