April 22, 20223 yr That's a series ender. Memphis probably gonna take this in 5 now. Zero chance Minnesota shows up now

Dude gets beat to shit all game and rarely gets calls. Giannis is averaging 14.5 free throws a game in the playoffs. Embiid is averaging 11.3. Jokic is averaging 5.0 per game. For the reigning (and likely back to back) MVP. Regular season stats are very similar. I don't disagree on Jokic, but the level of physicality that is not being called is really significant. You see the entire league adopting the Pat Bev strategy of just trying to annoy and frustrate rather than match skills. The Dubs should be above that kind of shit but they're in the mud with the rest.
April 22, 20223 yr Considering the number of high draft picks, is Minny the most underachieving team in the league?

April 22, 20223 yr If Utah can't get out of the first round vs a Luka-less Dallas (after losing to Kawhi-less LAC last Spring), just blow them up now. Edited April 22, 20223 yr by Message Board User

Ref him by the book and he could still rebound and facilitate. Take away the antics and Bev is playing in Greece.
April 22, 20223 yr Someone can tell Utah if they don't want to play they don't have to. They can just forfeit and save everyone a bunch of time.
April 22, 20223 yr Who would you rather have - 31 yo DMC with knees and ankles held together with duct tape or in his prime 26 yo KAT with no injury issues?
April 22, 20223 yr I've seen wet bags of moldy garbage more inspiring than this Utah Jazz team. Do any of these guys give a shit?

Booker's 2-3 week hammy is looking more and more like the break Dallas needed if they wanted to make this a magical run and season.

April 22, 20223 yr Not sure why Rivers isn't playing right now. (Or hasn't been playing) Edited April 22, 20223 yr by ztejas
April 22, 20223 yr They don't play Bones enough. That guy just seems to have fun and is fun to watch.
April 22, 20223 yr Just now, ztejas said: Not sure why Rivers isn't playing right now. (Or hasn't been playing) Because his defense is atrocious and his offense unreliable?

Jokic has been an absolute killer in the playoffs. his playoff numbers are as good as/better than his regular season numbers, and he's led his mediocre nuggets teams to multiple series wins after being down 3-1. Playoff Jokic is an absolute monster. this Nuggets team around him is terrible, and he's willing them as far as he can. this is just a completely stupid and uninformed post dude. redact it if you have time.

April 22, 20223 yr With the emergence of Poole, I can't decide whether it says more or less about Wiggins that he's perfectly happy being relegated to playing solid defense, standing in the corner on offense, taking 6 shots, and coming up with the occasional big rebound. For $30M. Edited April 22, 20223 yr by aggie08

April 22, 20223 yr Lmao someone asked KAT about him only taking 4 shots and he said "next question". Chuck fuckin roasting him now.

Hell every #1 pick since Lebron has been disappointing and usually not the best player from that draft Edited April 22, 20223 yr by Michael Knight

April 22, 20223 yr 3 hours ago, Michael Knight said: Loser franchise loser mentality Yeah, I should have said franchise. This is the first year in forever they’ve even been in the playoffs? They’ve had a lot of high picks over the years and this is where they’re at?
April 22, 20223 yr Hahaha Jokic gets punked as usual come playoff time. 2 years in a row without Murray in the playoffs will do that.
April 22, 20223 yr Can we get a wellness check on @MNLonghornFUKMthis morning? I'm not one to bag on KAT - okay that's a lie -but Memphis realized that Adams was unplayable in this series about two minutes into game 2 and has played small ball ever since and fucking Townes won't get his ass down on the block and pound them inside. You're seven feet tall for fucks sake. If the world's best shooting big man can't punish them from five feet in, then at least make them pay on the glass. The few times he did post up, usually from about 12 feet out - they sent doubles and got good shots. But four shots, five rebounds, five fouls isn't getting it done. I suppose he did block five shots. But holy Brad Sellers, does he have a paint allergy that we don't know about?
April 22, 20223 yr 12 hours ago, Aqua Buddha said: Considering the number of high draft picks, is Minny the most underachieving team in the league? It’s obviously the Kings. Starting in 2015(the year KAT was drafted) the Kings have drafted 6th, 8th, 5th, 10th, 2nd and 12th and have almost nothing to show for it. And Edwards is only in his second year and was known to be a raw prospect out of college. Too early to judge. Edited April 22, 20223 yr by Irieguy
April 22, 20223 yr Anthony Edwards is fucking awesome. I wonder if he’s going to go Jimmy Butler on KAT?
