May 12, 20223 yr Damn, sucks for Ime, i really think he's a great coach too. Fucking brutal for them.

May 12, 20223 yr And tonight is more evidence that Giannis is quite clearly the best player in the NBA, MVPs be damned.
May 12, 20223 yr Totally agree with this - if the Bucks go on to win it all, that Jrue block on Smart might be THE signature highlight of the playoffs.

No way to know, really, until Jokic gets a better cast to work with. He's quite clearly the best player still playing. I'll give him that. What an absolute gut-punch loss for Celtic's fans. Having this magical season and then just like that you're pretty much done and back to worrying about JT and JB being a legit championship duo. MIL doesn't even have Khris out there. I mean I guess they could win in 7 but this feels over. Giannis doesn't look like he's going to let them come steal game 6 on his court.
May 12, 20223 yr Can't recall a worse 10 seconds of game time for a player than what Smart had at the end of the game: He and Jaylen Brown flub the missed Giannis FT leading to the Portis go-ahead bucket The Jrue block/steal (throwing the ball off Smart so it's Bucks ball) The Jrue steal to end the game It's almost like maybe he shouldn't have had the ball in his hands at the end there.

Lollll I forgot about the free throw rebounding fuck up. Yeah - rough night. Dude needs a BJ and a few drinks.
May 12, 20223 yr It really sucks that Ja is out. Memphis might have won this series with him. Edited May 12, 20223 yr by ztejas
May 12, 20223 yr This isn't going to help those trying to discredit the vocal minority who were saying Memphis was actually better without Ja and won 25 games without him, etc.

It's really a question of their role guys shooting well or not.

Luka and Ja are similar in that way. Clearly amazing players but sometimes it can feel as if their priority isn't efficient or making other NBA players around you better. It's interesting if nothing else. I can't remember as many blowouts and giving up before the game is over in the NBA playoffs ever.
May 12, 20223 yr Crazy how adams can be such a liability Vs Minnesota to possibly the X factor Vs golden state. I don’t think they win G6. But bringing adams back brings back a big time advantage in rebounding. Plus he doesn’t even chase draymond outside of the paint. Haha.Dray could shoot 10 uncontested 3 pointers a game if he wanted

So much standing and watching them dribble the whole clock. Both are great individual talents but aren't leading a team to a ring right now.

I'm thinking Game 2 when the Mavs kinda quit too and then last night both games were blowouts not just the Mavs. Probably this is such an historic bloodbath I have a bit of recency bias though. If you are Memphis why not just save your legs and let the bottom of your roster play? I don't think GSW starters will play in the 4th at all.

Dray could shoot 10 uncontested 3 pointers a game if he wanted Adams is definitely a big factor, and I don't understand why they abandoned him for the first 4 games. He was a beast all season, and played against the Warriors. His rebounding and block outs are getting them a lot more possessions and shots. I hope he continues to be a big factor and pushes this series to 7 games.

May 12, 20223 yr If anyone does Reddit, visit the kings sub and read their thread Asking if this was Mike browns fault, lolThis was a swinging bunt hire, for me. A retread 3 time failed previous head coach who won’t have a prime lebron and a severely weak eastern conference to pad wins with.

This was my takeaway. Why is he taking that shot?? Why the hell was he bringing it up??? He kinda fumbled the dribble before Jrue stole it too. He had no business in that situation and the outcome is the reason why

May 13, 20223 yr Fuckin Pat Riley man. Undrafted G-Leaguer out of DePaul Max Strus with 16* of their 49 at half in a game 6 on the road. Edited May 13, 20223 yr by ztejas
May 13, 20223 yr Has the injury been that bad for Joel? Looks nothing like the MVP let alone a difference maker. He’s Capella out there. Damn Harden has fallen off a cliff. Just a shell of himself from just two years ago. Who knew Houston strip clubs were the source of his power. Edited May 13, 20223 yr by ChickenSandwich
May 13, 20223 yr I don't understand everyone writing off this Heat team. They're going to have home court and I'm taking Jimmy over Tatum 10 times/10 in the playoffs. And Spo kind of knows what he's doing. Them vs. MIL should be competitive if that's how this shakes out.

Philly needs to put on their big boy pants and just let Harden walk. They won't, of course.
May 13, 20223 yr Pretty embarrassing, limp-dicked exit from Philly. I mean it's about what I expected but actually watching it is rough.

May 13, 20223 yr This is going to get even worse when Simmons comes back and plays at an all-star level for Brooklyn next season.

I'd be stunned if he didn't already have a trio of 2 for 11 elimination games to his credit. I'd rather see an offensive superstar go 5-24 in a desperation game than 4-9.
