- Souped up Bowen won on a historic playoff team in '14 where numerous players could have easily won it and his doing so was mostly a nod to James.

- '19 was contrived/tainted due to his antics, leading to a trade that otherwise never would have so much as been considered and culminating with the best team in the league being decimated by injury.

- '21 would also be contrived/tainted given the way he blackmailed his team and another one into trading them a top 15ish player, which led to numerous other moves.

Playing Lopez/forcefeeding it inside is the reason why Brooklyn won game 1

You need to go to Giannis at C, play 5 out, and attempt more than 30 3's.

Brooklyn's biggest weakest on defense is off-ball movement

Jokic: 22 points, 9 rebounds, on 10-23 FG, -13. Only 3 assists and 4 turnovers. Still has 0 FTA against Ayton on the season.

It seems like that. Jokic has a hard time backing down Ayton in the post which make it a lot harder for Jokic to dominate the game. Ayton takes away Jokic's back down post game. Jokic is a smart player it will be interesting to see how he adjusts to not being able to use his post up game in this series.

The thought was Holiday is a perennial all defense candidate and Giannis is a former DPOY plus they have other good defenders while Brooklyn seemed weak on that end. But Giannis can't guard Durant and in today's NBA its real easy to get a guy off of you just by using screens and getting a switch. Their drop coverage defense on pick and rolls with Lopez is horrific too in this series. Also Nets defense has been better than expected. But it is embarrassing for people like myself who picked them.

Gimme a break. If you looked a Jordan the wrong way it was a foul.

The league totally over corrected and maybe 80's ball got out of control and the Pistons exploited it but I resent the inconsistency of today and you never get replays of these phantom contact fouls.

[davethedope]

It's not new either Pistons would've won in 88 if not for a phantom foul so...

[Neo.]

inconsistency is easily the worst part of officiating. but to be fair, it's not as easy when players have found ways to exploit crappy rules.

fix the rules, make them more straightforward, enforce some strong penalties for obvious conclusive flops (such as where replays show the guy falling before even being touched, unnatural arm flailing, blatant stuff like that) and it will improve. also quit rewarding offensive players for initiating contact unnaturally, such as jumping sideways or backwards into defenders on a drive to the hoop

[Robz4000]

:lol Playoff Pee

[MultiTroll]

Im pulling for Utah but that was a running flop by Mitchell to get FTs.

Pathetic defense by Plumber Ingles and Utah to allow the 3 pointer when up 6.

Then the final play, after Gobert went airborn for the fake shot attempt, all Morris had to do was jump into him and shoot.

Blown op by Morris. Hate that phuck tho so glad he choked.

[daslicer]

Ingles played good D on Kawhi on that final possession by not falling for any of his pump fakes.

"Kawhi has the ball, head fake, head fake, head fake, head fake, head fake... joog step, joog step, head fake, head fake head fake"

[Texas_Ranger]

so Kemba wants a trade... If the Mavs are smart they'll trade Porzingis for him. He aint gonna make them much better, but he would be a good fit next to Luka.

I guess. Maybe I am not discounting how much better Kyrie is than Westbrook since KD didnt win titles with Russ. Or also, that OKC team was really built like complete garbage. They would run out Perkins and either Sefolosha or Roberson with the starters so two total nonfactors on offense while Brooklyn has Harris, Brown, Shamet, and Blake so a much better rotation of guys who have to be at least guarded somewhat. Bucks probably winning this series is Perk and Sefolosha out there lol

[Texas_Ranger]

The Nuggests without Murray are just not good enough. They can win, but it will be a fucking miracle and Jokic will pretty much have to play like a god. Same thing as the Mavs and Luka, just that Jokic does have some role players that should be solid. Tonight they were trash. Suns are pretty lucky with getting injured teams, as they probably lose to the Lakers if Davis is healthy.

Kobe did teach him how to brick shots very nicely.

Bucks coach is from the CIA Pop coaching tree :lol

[Dirks_Finale]

Bucks :lol

Giannis :lol

So predictable :lol

BKN is just begging him to take that open 3.

[MultiTroll]

21 point lead choked off.
:pctoss

Now brings on Bryn Forms defense.

[Dirks_Finale]

Bucks need Giannis to be 2011 Dirk - and that sh1t just aint happening.

[Texas_Ranger]

Giannis is just a big Westbrick.

Tim would have taught him how to hit a bank shot.

[MultiTroll]

Bucks rarely have an assist.

Just chucking one on one.

[MultiTroll]

Buy PJ Tucker a beer.

[MultiTroll]

2 joke callls in a row for phaggot Durbetta.

[daslicer]

This Bucks-Nets game has a 90's feel to it. It's a low scoring game where both teams are struggling to score.

[Texas_Ranger]

Milwaukee better hope joe harris shoots 1/11 every game.

Refs let them play. Nice to see, tbh.

This is going 7

This is going 7
I’m afraid Brooklyn will easily win game 4

[Benoit]

Nash really shooting himself in the foot by playing Bruce Brown instead of Shamet

[Benoit]

Only if Harden comes back

[daslicer]

Agreed I enjoyed watching it.

[daslicer]

Bruce Brown threw that game away. He played out of control in the final few minutes.

[Dirks_Finale]

Yup.

It's going 5.

[Rummpd]

6 Nets win sadly in that. Durant is the real MVP league -guy is that damm good

[MultiTroll]

Bucks BBIQ is super low.

[LkrFan]

Tim would have taught him how to hit a bank shot.

That shot would be money for him tbh

[TDfan2007]

That shot would be money for him tbh

It really would, because he's so long. But he has no touch... it's kinda sad

[Texas_Ranger]

Lol clippers

[Texas_Ranger]

Lol Jazz


Update - lol flippers

[davethedope]

These calls tho they let pandemic pete get away with murder and he still can't close

[Dennis the Menace]

Pandemic P for the win

[daslicer]

That shot would be money for him tbh

Agreed he should add it to his game. It's one of the easiest shots to learned. When I was in hschool it only took me a few weeks of practicing Duncan's 15 foot mid range bank shot to master it. For some reason a lot of guys are too scared to attempt the bank shot during games.

I don't see anything funny about what I said. Not saying I was an NBA pro but the bank shot is the easiest shot to learn but very few guys chose to learn it.

hitting it when you’re wide open is one thing, hitting it when you’re being closely guarded by Garnett is another thing

[daslicer]

:lol

Aright continue to troll.

[daslicer]

hitting it when you’re wide open is one thing, hitting it when you’re being closely guarded by Garnett is another thing

You can get the shot off even if your guarded as long as you can create some space between you and the defender. Obviously against a guy like KG it would be difficult but there are not that many guys out there in this league that can play D like KG.

[Neo.]

i think the point being laughed at was how you claimed you "mastered" the shot in a matter of weeks

hitting it consistently in a game with a high level defender constantly pestering you and keeping you out of your comfort zone may make you think twice about claiming that its so easy to master in just a few weeks

hitting a wide open shot isnt truly mastering it

[MultiTroll]

F's sake Denver already digging themselves a hole 23-13

[MultiTroll]

Phx absolutely buttramming Denver in transition.

[Capt Bringdown]

Watching these boring-ass playoff games makes me wish the NBA would bring back the best of 5, or even best of 3 playoff format.

[Ghazi]

Dead ass NBA

[MultiTroll]

Dale i hope your morning coffee is good.
Denver packing up their shit in their own mountaintop camp. Other side the Bucks or Sixers/Hawks my last chances to avoid a disastrous Finals.

I'm leaving this shitstorm.

Cully the Suns look good but the nets would easily stomp them, if they even get that far. The jazz will finish them off before they get there.

why am I not surprised that a person of your intelligence went the "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!" route? if your reading comprehension was in the neighborhood of a normal adult, you might have formed a better counter-argument.

since you somehow missed my plain-spoken, easy-to-follow point entirely, you dolt, here it is again.

As a general rule, of course all politicians are motivated by PR. I am not impressed when a politician acts in a self-serving way to generate a positive response in public perception, whether its Rudy or anyone else. Thats you. You are an easy mark. You are a sap.

If you woke up from your self-imposed coma tommorrow and became 100 times more cynical than you are today, you would still be one gullible motherfucker.

Shallow, PR-conscious gestures (such as Rudy grandstanding to reject the A-rabs 10 million) don't impress me. They do impress mindless flagwavers, small children, the mentally disabled, and (based on your comments) you.

Your basis for supporting Rudy was laid out clearly by you, not me, and without question it is a stance that it worthy of some real ridicule.

"Which candidate in the election isn't all about PR/Personal Power, you fucking idiot?"
Dr. Ron Paul (...that was an easy one)

ps...did you go to a high school for people with "learning differences"? (honest question, not meant to be funny. yours was one of the most intellectually incoherent response I've seen)

pps... since you consider yourself politically savvy: do you think there are a lot of MENSA candidates who were impressed by Rudy's grandstanding move, or do you suspect as I do that just maybe it was a move designed to impress the lowest common denomenator of our society (...people like you)?

[Capt Bringdown]

Chris Paul looking like top-shelf collie, but ya gotta remember he's playing against shake-and-stems, bottom of the bag, Austin Rivers.

Flippers getting that ring with every team they face being injured.

[KimmyGib]

Playoff P showed up tonight. Jackson can't miss. Kawhi Harden stat padding in garbage time.

[Arcadian]

Irving just went down. Rolled his ankle on Giannis

[davethedope]

No one has been saying it but this is the Fragile Freddie Memorial All-Star Squad. I wouldn't be shocked if none of them make it to the finals even though Harden isn't known for being injured.

[Benoit]

I wonder what KD's career would look like if he spent even one season without at least one superstar guard by his side

[davethedope]

Artis Gilmore with a green light?

[MultiTroll]

Mid 3rd into 4th is a NyetsRef joke.
Particularly defending Durbetta.

[Arcadian]

Will Durant rise to the occasion for game 5 and prove he can lead a team to victory by himself? Or will he go down in flames with the Nets in an embarrassing backdoor sweep?

Put up or shut up.

[Texas_Ranger]

This shit that Durant has to do now is what Doncic was doing for a full year, for 2 seasons now. And then some media "experts" were bashing him, cause his performance drops in the 4th. Lets see this beta now how good he is playing with no help. Only good cause of superstars next to him. Perhaps he can make his bodyguard play.

Durant on his own is just as good as westbrick

Benoit
Carmelo Anthony

[Benoit]

Guards are just so important in this NBA

[Benoit]

If both KD and Kyrie got hurt and James Harden was the only one playing, Brooklyn would've won this game

[apalisoc_9]

I wonder what KD's career would look like if he spent even one season without at least one superstar guard by his side

Doubt he’d even reach the finals. Best offensive player of all time narrative is extremely overexagerrated

[apalisoc_9]

Was My MVP pick before the injury

[Rummpd]

Harden has not led anything despite great players by side - he quit on Rockets as well. Not a MVP ever

I fear ABC Disney NBA will have a 2002 Lakers level rig for Durbetta Kobe.

We'll see.

:wow CP3

[lefty]

not a flagrant 2

[scanry]

Culburn will be proud

[Will Hunting]

Javale McGee looks like a straight up alien.

Booker doin the fake tough “get in his face knowing you’ll be separated quickly” move, we all know he wants no smoke with Jokic :lol

Jokic might not get ejected if Booker didn’t do that and make a big deal out of it. 4D chess move, imo.

[DMC]

Years with OKC sans Harden.

[spurraider21]

jokic deserved a flagrant for sure. not sure if 1 or 2

1 tbh imo

probably. but suns were going to tap that ass anyway

Jokic is overrated and is too much of a defensive liability imo
