View Full Version : NBA: The '23 NBA PLAYOFFS
Denver is beyond fucked against this Heat team in the Finals. Miami will beat them in 5-6 games. Bam is going to fluster Jokic.
Hum, no. Denver is the better team and Miami has no anwser for Jokic. no one has. Denver in 5-6, maybe a sweep even . Celtics are just terrible.

I would say the 2014 Spurs last title beating a tired Heat team and Bosh playing with death qualifies too. Your team is getting Porzingis 2.0 while a Heat dynasty is starting up again. Sucks to be you.
Lmao. Wemby has more athleticism in his thumb than Porzingis has in his entire body.

Bucks were their only real comp and they shot themselves in the foot load managing Giannis, assuming he was healthy enough to play.

Problem with Jokic isn't that Bam can't do a good job defending his scoring. Doubtful but maybe he can. The problem is Jokic doesn't need to score to impact the game. Bam can fluster Jokic all he wants. Joker will shoot it like 10-12 times, not force it, and have like 15 assists because he doesn't "need" to get his scoring numbers like other star players in the league. He'd be perfectly content scoring 12 points on 4-for-9 shooting while collecting 15 assists, 15 rebounds and his team winning.

Eric Spoelstra didn’t give Jimmy Butler that fire inside. He already had it.
But there is a reason down the stretch in Games 1 and 2 why Miami knew exactly what they wanted to do and how to do it on both ends of the floor while Boston flailed and just hoped for the best, and that reason is the difference between Eric Spoelstra and Joe Mazzulla.

:lmao They give the ball to Butler, who plays high/spread p-n-r. If you have a slow footed big or small guard, he'll seek him out . . . you know, the same thing everyone who has that type of player does.
The Celtics have done this for 3 coaches now. It doesn't have anything to do with them. The reality is, Tatum and Brown would be better off as finishers than creators, but they don't have a lead playmaker period, let alone one of stature to put them in that role.

I’m curious why you think the Celtics went in one season from a team that beat the top-seeded Heat in a 7-game series to one that had absolutely no answers on how to generate any offense past the 6-minute mark in Games 1 and 2, that watched Jimmy Butler dissect them possession after possession without making any adjustments, and that tonight just totally quit. What’s changed? Because to me the most obvious change in Boston is the coach.

Allow me to disagree, a coach can insufflate a different spirit, simply by his charisma, tantrums or whatever, and the desire players have to follow their lead and simply play for him... Mazzula seems depressive and celtic players dont feel like they want to let it all out for him. He's still an assistant coach for them, which he looks like. He just doesn't have it, and has nothing in his bag vs. Spo.
I just don't see the competitive fire in the Celtics. I don't think that can be solely or even a majority placed on the coach. They have to go out and play. They aren't. Since when is having a rookie coach an excuse for two superstars who are supposed to be top 10 players absolutely shitting the bed?

The Celtics crunch time offense has been an issue with 3 coaches now and it's because of the relative lack of play making of Tatum and Brown.
According to Gary Washburn, who's long covered them, there's "issues in the room" (which has become obvious).

Butler has at least another 2-3 years of elite play left in him. Bam/Herro are young and will only get better. The role players are young and solid. Love will likely leave but he’s expendable. Spolestra/Riley aren’t going anywhere. Miami isn’t going anywhere and as long as they stay relatively healthy…they should win at least 2 more titles over the next 3 years after they ring this season.

He's a big softie that can't play center and dominate the boards by himself. If the Lakers somehow make it out of this game with a win. I would play Mo Bamba at center and play AD at his natural position. At least, attempt to put a stop to all these off rebs for Denver but as we all know, Darvin Ham won't do shit about it until it's too late.

Brutal end to a season that was unexpected. Denver is high octane and when Jokic started making shot-clock violation beating shots, I knew the gig was up. Don't understand why they didn't continue to run AD some plays to at least try and get Jokic his 5th foul. That's on Ham. LeBron mustered up the best effort of the season, but the series was lost in Game 1&2. Props to Jokic. Kroenke is likely getting his 3rd major title in 3 years when the Nugs complete their dominant run. Watching Jokic play is insane. The West might be Denver's for a few years because of him. The lasting hope is Jimmy Buckets eliminates the C's and we're both stuck at 17 for at least another year.

Nuggets look like a team that could go on a run for the rest of a decade and win a few titles if they remain healthy. Jokic is in his prime and will be good for several more years. Murray is now entering his prime and Porter is about to enter his in a few years.

This looks to be the possibility. Health is a factor though, you're right. Murray already has one knee injury and Jokic is a big man, so that'll be the interesting thing to watch. Not to mention MP Jr.'s back concerns. Have to give credit to the others like Bruce Brown, KCP and Aaron Gordon. If Denver becomes a FA destination and the owner is willing to spend in accordance to the new CBA, they'll be a hard out linked with the Ball Arena HCA.

I have some concerns about their offensive consistency outside of Jokic. Even Murray is really streaky, that kind of play generally costs you in playoffs.
This season it seems to be more than enough as there are no superteams and the expected contenders are injured and/or old. Definitely a changing of the guard season in the NBA. But I'm not completely sold on a Nuggets Dynasty yet as they struggle to score for stretches and also have some defensive holes that need serious examination in this off-season.
It'll be really interesting to see how the Heat deal with Jokic. Will Bam be enough to slow him down? Might be just enough to make it a long, tough series. In any case Miami is playing a full echelon above any team they've faced so far.
I think Sacramento has a good chance of challenging next year. They're already a really solid team and have 25-30 mil in cap space this free-agency period to sign another big name to help them.

I think anytime any new team wins a title or gets very close and the star player/s are still in their 20s, people assume and start saying that they should be great for a decade. Idk. I think this Denver team has a 4-5 year window tops, probably closer to 3 realistically. I expect Joker to be great well into his mid 30s since his game should age well. But roster turnover is so high in the league now. And when secondary players play for championship teams, they start looking for big money and it’s hard to keep a core together. They’ll have to pay Joker and Murray, but then can they afford to keep Porter and Gordon when they’re up? Will they draft well enough and make smaller moves to continue to have the right secondary pieces? Will they continue to be relatively healthy year after year thru the playoffs? Murray and Porter already have shown injury issues. Nuggets better capitalize this year because you never know.
Even the Warriors run didn’t last as long as some might think. 2015 through 2022 is a pretty good stretch run, 8 seasons. But that 2022 title feels luckier than somewhat disparate from the other three. And Klay had to miss two seasons, Steph basically an entire season himself, they had to become a lottery team and a borderline playoff team in that same stretch. So it wasn’t Spurs run, year in and year out for however many seasons. They were more like a 5 year run, 2015-19. And then they all got healthy for one last try and the chips fell their way.
Pierce / KG Celtics really only had a 3 year run. Heatles 4 year stretch. In an era of superteams and free flowing player movement, the championship window isn’t automatically wide open for every contender. And the unprecedented Tim Duncan championship window is probably something we won’t ever see in the NBA again.

I think anytime any new team wins a title or gets very close and the star player/s are still in their 20s, people assume and start saying that they should be great for a decade. Idk. I think this Denver team has a 4-5 year window tops, probably closer to 3 realistically. I expect Joker to be great well into his mid 30s since his game should age well. But roster turnover is so high in the league now. And when secondary players play for championship teams, they start looking for big money and it’s hard to keep a core together. They’ll have to pay Joker and Murray, but then can they afford to keep Porter and Gordon when they’re up? Will they draft well enough and make smaller moves to continue to have the right secondary pieces? Will they continue to be relatively healthy year after year thru the playoffs? Murray and Porter already have shown injury issues. Nuggets better capitalize this year because you never know.

Seriously doubt the Nuggets are going to throw a bag at Porter at this point. Dude has been super uneven. Solid player but I think other teams are going to overpay him and the Nuggets won't match. I could be wrong.

Idk about a mea culpa. Even if an epic 3-0 collapse happens to the Heat, it doesn't really change that narrative because everyone pretty much universally agrees that Boston is the more talented team. And Miami still made it to the conference finals as a play-in 8 seed without two significant rotation players. That overachievement is still indicative of that "Heat culture" narrative even with a historic collapse. They weren't supposed to be here.

Yupp. Manu got clobbered at the end of that game that should've sent him to the line for 2. Of course the refs ignored it. Had it been vice versa, ESPN would've been out for Spurs blood.

How important was that technical foul?
Turns out it was an automatic technical for grabbing the rim. I thought he got called for a tech for arguing that obvious goaltend but nope. Kind of stupid that's a technical.

:lmao At the Celtics pulling a Celtics. This game played out the way I told my brother beforehand game 7 was going to play out.
Wayoff Butler unable to score without foul baiting :lmao
As if one poor performance in a big game undoes all the excellent ones in his Heat tenure. :lmao

Gonna be funny when the Heat get spanked by 25 in game 7. It might even be funnier if they lose Game 7 on a buzzer beater. I think I'd take the former though.

They forgot about White like Sheed forgot about Horry

They didn’t forget, they chose to double Tatum since the Celtics only had 3 seconds.
White got the perfect bounce & had just enough time to tip it in; something that would happen 1 out of a 100 times. It was a heady/lucky play.

Heat had so many chances to put this game away, like when Williams fouled before the inbounds, the Heat didn't send their best FT shooter to the line. Then they didn't score on the ensuing inbounds play. It was a major CF late on both sides, but you cannot blame this on officiating.

A simple box out and Miami is in the finals. Miami will still win game 7 and still win the championship, but the Heat are simply beating themselves. They’ll be fine though.

This was my point earlier. You can say a team lost or you can say they imploded. Losing implies another team was better, but imploding implies you beat yourself.

I don't mean it's going to be competitive. I mean the implications either way are great. If the Celtics win, we never hear "no team has ever come back from being down 0-3" again, the Heat squandered a 3 game lead and gave up a Finals appearance. If the Heat win, the Celtics lost to an 8 seed at home after running off 3 in a row to force game 7. If the Heat win no one will care about D White's shot, not really. If Celtics win D White's shot will be up there with Ray Allen's.
Both coaches know the implications if they lose. Spo is more protected, has overachieved. Don't know about the Celtic's coach.

NBA official coverup errrr Report:
The other debate about the Butler play was over whether he double-dribbled after losing the ball. The report said that Butler did not, with the explanation being that Butler "fumbles the ball out of his control when he ends his dribble, then recovers it and legally attempts a field goal."
