Game 7 @ the Gardan
Alot of non-NBA bros tuning into this one
I call it the Warrior's effect. The Warriors made shooting overvalued in this league that now shooters get overpaid. It's the reason why the Spurs were able to deal a scrub like Forbes for a second round pick this year from the Nuggets.
Game 7 @ the Gardan
Alot of non-NBA bros tuning into this one
Boston hugging puffing. Glacing at Giannis. Will he put the kape on?
Miami vs Boston will be really good
Prolly another 7-gamer, albeit if Boston stops with the stupid mental mistakes they can win in 5.
No, the Heatles have HCA. Miami in 5 or 6 max.
Good on the Celtics for showing those Wisconsin losers who's BOS.![]()
Second round picks don't mean in the NBA. This isn't the NFL.
Yes once upon a time the Spurs were leagues ahead of everyone else in the euro trash and stash 2nd round pick market, but that schtick is very long in the tooth and those guys go off the board in the 1st now. Plus, eurotrash players aren't as good as they used to be.
Miami is a fraud team tbh. They lack talent and two-way players.
Nice try. Celtics advance.
Jimmy + shooters is good for 2-3 wins
Boston defense vs Warriors is the end game. This is good tease
Jimmy isn't a two way player?![]()
Reminiscent of the old Bucks, tbh. Gay Ray Allen, Big Dog, Michael Redd, Sam Cassell, Toni Kukoc, Ersan Ilyasova, et al. Those guys would go 16/24 from three one playoff game and then something like 3/37 the next, no joke.
him and Adebayo are their only two way players. Half of Boston's team plays both sides.
Warriors are going to skull Dallas
I think the Mavs actually match up well with the warriors. Warriors in 7.
I hope Luka will take them out tbh
I like Dallas against Golden State too. I think it's a match up where the Mavs don't have to play Powell, at all if they want. They can play Maxi, Bertans, and Finney Smith the majority of the big minutes. And they can run their 3 guard line-up more, which will space out the defense just the same way Golden State often does to most teams. And if Kerr plays Looney and Draymond together, I think that benefits Dallas too.
Dallas has some roster flexibility too. I think it will be interesting in the next series what the line-ups are and how each team will react and adjust to the opposing line-ups.
The talent disparity is outrageously in the Dubs' favor tbh. They're also better at playing small ball than the Mavs and have been doing it longer. Luka prolly wins the Mavs a game but a sweep wouldn't surprise me.
Suns
will be interesting to see lukas approach
does he mostly target steph and poole to expose their complete inability to defend him, or does he mostly target draymond to negate his team defense (and his known struggles to defend him)? jalen shouldnt have too much trouble scoring on steph or poole either.
luka is the most difficult matchup in the series by far, while the mavs have a slew of the exact types of defenders that are known to give the warriors issues. the mavs can definitely win the series.
Booker
Mavs double teamed him, simple antidote
When will this clown ever learn?
Noah was right
LOL two best players in the league are from Europe
you're a moron
lol jalen brunson
there will always be quality under the radar players in the 2nd round. the spurs would arguably have 4 rings less without one of those.
out of all the double digit amount of 2nd round draft and stash eurotrash padawans in the Popovich era, literally 1 of them paid off. The others all fizzled in the NBA, stayed overseas, or had to be traded for miscellaneous reasons
compare that with day 2 picks in the NFL and rate of success.
also the Spurs would still have the 2003 championship with Steve Smith playing those backup-Jackson minutes instead of Manu. And in 2014 he was an afterthought, the 5th best player on the team. Also Manu cost the Spurs Jackson and who knows if Jackson would be as good as Manu in 2005, he definitely would have been at least as good as Manu in 2007 to win us that le and also in 2004 Manu was still very green and Jackson's replacement was an incompetent turkish piece of who couldn't shoot or score or play defense.
and it paid off mightily, with multiple championships.
i dont agree but its possible
completely re ed, he was arguably the true MVP of that series, every time he came in, it would be a close game or miami would be a little ahead, and suddenly the spurs go on a run, mostly spearheaded by his playmaking. he was ridiculously vital to that team, since kawhi was not (and still isnt) a strong playmaker
Not a chance. Smith was a horrendous defensive turnstile and couldn't create for himself offensively. And no way the Spurs were going to run him in the post instead of dumping it to Duncan there.
