NBA: Playoffs thread..

[spursistan]

CP3 hasn't looked that good so far in these playoffs, tbh.

This is Houston best shot at le while he is still a Top 10 player. Expect further decline from next season on..

Is Mitc a bit of a chucker?

Rondo might be the most overrated/underrated player in NBA history.

Looks like Paul and Harden are in Kawhi mode

The talent level in current NBA is through the roof now. Been watching pro basketball for 3 decades, and never enjoyed it more than now. Some serious skill being put on display.

1998 NBA finalists. Wonder if any of those teams can win a single playoff round now, tbh.

Yeah, the #1 overall seed would have gotten swept by the Bulls

Is Mitc a bit of a chucker?

...a bit? Dude had the most missed shots by a rookie in the past 20 seasons

[Kawhitstorm]

Rockets have looked bad in all 3 games, so far..maybe they're playing down to the compe ion, but they're getting nothing from role players outside of Green and Harden has been really bad since game 1..

Their offense is predicted on making 3s.... they look like the Blazers when Ariza & em aren't hitting corner 3s

Bogdonavich is Lebron's long lost daddy.

John Clawd Van Damn!

Not sure why anyone would pick on eaton. He’s like the 80s version of Golbert.

[ambchang]

Context. Yes he chases down and blocks. But, show me a clip where he turned the ball over on one side of the court, then immediately got after a player going for a layup way on the other side of the court, then swatted it away. That takes a ton of energy and drive. Kobe had it. I haven't seen that with LBJ.

Remember, Kobe taught him to play defense in the 2008 Olympics. You need proof? Show me one all-defensive team LBJ made before that year (Kobe already had a couple). You can't. Even Coach K said Kobe set the tone on that team ever since their first practice. Facts.

I heard that Edison didn’t invent the light bulb before he talked to Kobe, and Kobe inspired the construction of the pyramids.

Renaissance mane before the renaissance.

Note: he did all of this because he invented the time machine as well.

She's random, as far as I know. Sexy as to me...

Peep this:

People will disagree, but I'd absolutely give up Kuz before BI. BI is a better defender, better passer and is 2 years younger.

here is the thing ...Ingram is the better prospect with his reach etc. but Kuzma has shown to be the more fluid and natural scorer ...

and i feel same about celts wouldnt give up both Tatum and Brown for a injured KL.... brown is like kuzma Tatum like BI ...
brown looks better right now is more aggressive but longterm I think tatum and ingram will be better.

[Killakobe81]

giannis just dunked on Horford ...

[Killakobe81]

brown has 31 btw after averaging 25 in games 1-2 ...
Again i ask should celts even chase Kiwi? and also is he better than Gordon Hayward?

Agreed on all accounts. Good stuff man

[Killakobe81]

tatum and brown just put celts ahead ... no am i trading the young guys ...if im boston ...Pop with tatum and Brown?! shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

[Killakobe81]

good finish ...hate to say it but those injuries assuming they are healthy when they return, is helping develop celts young talent ...
problem is no ing way if i am brown am i backing up hayward ...

You will need to give up both if you want Kawhi, tbh. If not, Spurs much rather have Tatum.

one good thing about the celtics youngs, is that they are usable even if playing off the ball. Brown has been the top defender in the league according to some metrics and has no visible weak point. Granted, he doesn't have Kawhi's absurd quality, but he's a winner type of player.
