Its playoff time, cant depend on Precious.
Alot of people will not understand how its difficult to trust young inexperienced players in the playoffs. Even thou for years it has been proven that players on rookie contracts rarely contribute to title contending teams.

What I need from Bam, is for him to put pressure on the rim. He better not settle and let Brook Lopez get away with dropping or barely guarding him. You just got left off every award ballot. Should be motivated.

Pick and roll plays with Nunn, dragic and herro should do the trick

DRob on Lopez, right?


I'd definitely would like to not see that but something has to give. Force Lopez to be the guy to make big shots as long as everyone else gets contained.

Nunn can guard jrue. Use Belly on Lopez so Bam can focus on Giannis

This is why Crowder was so important. He was strong enough to single handedly contain Giannis, and it allowed Bam and Jimmy to stay home.

We all know there is such a thing as Playoff Dragic, Playoff Herro, and Playoff Butler.

But will Playoff Kendrick show up?

Mouse in the house. Lopez would back him down without any effort.

We are not running plays for him. All he has to do is work hard and play good defense.

Dennis rodman played meaningful playoff minutes in his rookie season. (The year he slandered Larry Bird)

Yea...im good on that. Precious isnt Rodman.

80% of the basketball world and 90% of the basketball intelligentsia are predicting we'll get eliminated in 5 or 6 games.


We had almost no impressive wins this year, and IMO we're facing the best or second best team in basketball.

Giannis looks a lot more ready then last year, and Jrue is a legit 2 way star and the biggest difference maker in either team.

What im' trying to say is -



Let's crush these **** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET'S **** GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There’s this running myth that Crowder single handedly contained Giannis :lol: nobody single handedly contains a superstar player. it was a team effort if I’ve ever seen one. And we still have the versatile bodies to throw at him.

You probably should have left that last part out. That's like telling a woman on a first date that your old girlfriend dumped you for cheating on her. It tends to create mistrust right off the bat. :lol:

Never say never, but ya'll need to realize we're HEAVY underdogs.

We can do it, but we'll need multiple breaks to go our way -

1) Nunn needs to show up big time.
2) Duncan + Herro + Ariza all need to hit their shots at a good rate.
3) Jimmy and Bam need to play their asses off, and Bam need to find a way to be aggressive on offense despite being unpolished and undersized next to Lopez.
4) Bucks can't get hot for outside or we'll have no chance.

If everything goes right, it's doable. but this matchup is super challenging for us, we would've bee better off against anyone else.

Having this OP doesn't help our situation either.

But that’s not going to happen unfortunately. Nunn will be the key. But if he plays good expect to pay 15+ more like 20 mil to keep him.
