The Lakers are cooked. And you don't lose that many games in a row to the same team without coaching being an issue. Michael Malone has stunted all over Darvin Ham for 2 years now. This is pro sports....that's just sad to be owned that badly. And I think Denver has looked vulnerable, not a foregone conclusion that they win it all.

    The new tv wall setup is starting to take place. That's 250" of NBA. Probably 1/4 of what Kendra Lust has had, if that

    Still can't get it out of my head.  Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it:

Last night Barkley trashing experts from "other channels" who were hyping GSW and Lakers was awesome... 😋

I'm not penciling Denver to the Finals just yet. I think the Minny/PHO winner is going to be dangerous. 

I have no idea what is going on with Boston. Maybe they just need to exorcise the Miami demon and they'll roll from there.

But my God Brown and Tatum are just so often... flat. Watching them lose to Miami - again - I was thinking about the Durant/Westbrook days. Those guys would have bad games and they lost series (albeit to some really fucking good teams) but they wouldn't just disappear and look like deer in the headlights during playoff games against worse teams. They always had that gamebreaking potential to come screaming back out of nowhere or tear the roof off the arena and ride the momentum to a W. 

I just don't see that that often with Tatum and Brown. It's like they're missing some sort of 5th gear or competitive edge or nastiness. 

Can't wait for G3 of that one...

I know we like to shit on DLo. Teams like the wolves held him back https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/timberwolves/dangelo-russell-believes-he-was-held-back-by-the-timberwolves

So this is all giant misunderstanding why DLo would get some unwarranted hate. We all would be mad if our true potential was being held hostage




I’d bench that son of a bitch loser for game 4. Then cut his ass right after they get swept

Team Embiid with the PR move to announce he was treated for mild Bell’s Palsey after his Draymond-esque BS last night 

Is he actually on his phone there? WTF? How do you even take that out of the locker room?

Boston is an enigma for sure. As usual, there is a lot of overreaction from one game, especially from one where Miami went bonkers from three. But then you see something like this, and just say WTF? Maybe Miami just has their number?

 

I do think that the Celtics are overrated though. They keep throwing up all of those historical stats about point differential and SRS and how much better they were than everybody else in the conference, but all of the East contenders had to deal with major shit this year, and the bottom of the conference is a joke. So, all those crazy numbers are inflated. Beyond that, they are a 100% 5-out, live by the three, die by the three offense. Those shots are a lot easier in December when the refs call a foul every time you breathe hard on someone. They aren't going to get those same looks in the playoffs.

They won't be able to fire Joe Mazzulla fast enough if Spoelstra continues to pants him in this series.

Does anyone else think Boston would lose not only to Denver but also OKC, Minny, and maybe the Clippers?

Quite literally the ethos of this thread.

Boston swept Miami in the regular season and is currently 1-1 in the playoffs w/ a 20pt blowout, but Miami just has the Celtics' number?  

Miami matches up better vs Boston than anyone else in the East, but the scale tips Celtics over the past 3 seasons.  1 playoff series each (both 7 games), 7-3 Boston in the regular season.

What is Butler's return timeline now?  I don't see Miami pushing this series to more than 6 games without him.

We do this every year. Miami is a really, really tough out every single year without fail, regardless of seeding. They were the only team to win a game in Denver in last year's playoffs. Obviously, Boston struggles to match their intesity game in and game out. But I'd still favor the Celtics over any team not defending their championship.

Minny is gonna be a tough series, for sure.  They are pretty evenly matched with the Nuggets.  I'm less concerned with Phoenix if they were to make it past Minny.

This is wild. He finished with 29 but the shot chart did not change.

 

If Edwards has truly arrived then the Suns aren’t winning and the Nuggets/Wolves series is gonna be a war. Interested to see what Phoenix does tonight.

hopefully that would do away with the blackout restriction bullshit that currently plagues the league pass experience.

The shit Embid pulled last night deserves punishment from NBA commissioners office.

RIP inside the nba?

Move it to Prime ???

Not sure Middleton really wanted to extend this game. Dude looked gassed.

Booker's shot selection is just awful sometimes. 

PHO is so fucking sloppy and ANT is the best player on the floor.

I don't think this takes Minny more than 5 games and I'd watch my cornhole if I'm Denver.

I mean they're not getting swept, so they're winning tomorrow.

Damn, Suns somehow suck even worse than I thought.

Vogel's gonna get fired after 1 season. 

Damn, Suns somehow suck even worse than I thought.

If the suns don’t build a 15-20 pt 1st qtr lead, they’re cooked

Where is Durant running off to next?

doesn't matter

Not quite as embarrassing and franchise crushing as when Luka adopted Booker, but it's right up there. Where the fuck do they go from here?

Matt Ishbia, lol. Fucking clown.

Third highest payroll in the league, completely mortgaged future, and going to win the same number of playoff games as the Pistons while being only moderately more competitive. I’d say that’s a helluva first year as an owner.

I didn’t get into the Devin Booker hate until the last 12 days but now I totally get it
Right? Hate him so much!

He's the Tobias Funke meme.

He's been playing like a shithead all season. I watched him shoot PHO out of multiple games. He was supposed to take the torch from KD and be the 1A and he's completely shit his pants in this series. 

Talented guy but seems very low IQ and like he's not a great leader.

Say what you want about him Chris Paul seriously carried that franchise for a few seasons there. 

Also I love ANT. He and Wemby will continue to fuel my NBA addiction. I think Minny is going to be a very tough out for Denver. 

This pains me to say, but Rudy Gobert's work to become comfortable guarding the perimeter has been incredibly impressive and noticeable.

I think Minn/Den winner is winning the chip. And I love Ant except when he's playing the Nuggets.

Ant is so fun to watch

Wow wasn’t expecting that. Should’ve been 20+ had Beal not had his best stretch of the series in garbage time

Their big 3 played the entire second half. And there isn’t 2 days in between games now. Narrative stands, if the wolves win or keep it close in the first…they should win

Durant needs to put up at least 30 shots in game 3. Enough of this 3-4 shots per quarter. He needs to put the team on his back and show he is a top player.

18 shots. Ball just didn’t find him…

I don’t hate him or even sports hate him, but I do recognize guys who just aren’t winners. My opinion of his ability to be the best player on a championship team has never changed since I saw him in his first season. He is just not a winner. Puts up a lot of points and leads fans to believe he’s an elite player, but he’s not. Chris Paul carried that team while he was there and I say that as someone who has never enjoyed watching him play either.

And he did all that all because he hates Dan Gilbert.
