Around The NBA: 2019-20 RESTART

So glad to see DEN bounce back tonight. If they can win the next one, too, it will be a real series. Lakers have such a size edge though, it takes so much energy to keep those huge guys from just dominating inside and on the glass. I thought Porter did a decent job in the minutes he was in there to neutralize the Laker's size.

you're imagining things. if he did this he'd have a LOT more turnovers

Nope Sato would pass up open shot on the regular and if you watched any of the bulls games you would hear funk and Stacey saying that Sato was over passing and not taking his shots. That led to players have to take a lot of bail out shots.

Honestly this is the only bulls board that supports Sato. If you discuss Sato with most Chicago bulls fans in general they were very displeased by his performance.

Denver finally looked energized and assertive as a whole in the 1st quarter but they had some bad calls go their way. But the refs screwed them back in the 4th giving the Lakers some life, but luckily, Murray hit some big shots.

MPJ and Grant attacking the paint in this game helped. They need to do that again rather than settling for 3s often.

The Nuggets' modus operandi: down 3-1, then win three in a row.

Denver specifically Jokic and Murray seem to take a few games to figure out the opposition defense. Game 4 will be pivotal on whether this series extends or a quickie for the Lakers.

Is D'Antoni really leading the Sixers HC race? If so, what in god's name is Philly thinking? :lol:

Billy Donovan was probably the guy THEY should've hired.

Its so weird that Tatum can sometimes be so off that he completely loses his game. I think the Celtics lose this because Tatum cant buy a shot.

They cant guard Herro

Wow Jimmy an airball?

Post #1472 » by **DASMACKDOWN** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 2:56 am

I find it crazy that Jimmy has basically been the 4th best player on his own team this series. And they still most likely goes finals.

JB just has some type of gene in him. Anytime he's struggling, you just have confidence he's going to make the right plays when the time comes.

Well, offensively yes. But them intangibles and the clutch gene...

Herro is legit.

Post #1476 » by **DASMACKDOWN** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 3:06 am

Miami's system is low key amazing though. Its not a 1 on 1 offense, its just keep passing the ball to the open man.

Post #1477 » by **DASMACKDOWN** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 3:08 am

If Bam is hurt, its going to affect the next series not this one. If thats the case its Lakers in sweep for sure.

Tatum pushes off on every drive. Every one.

No, he's not, but he's a pretty remarkable offensive player for a guy who's only 19 year old.
