Not. Even. Close.

The former Buck choking like a Buck.

No, we did something literally nobody in history had done, per Elias Sports Bureau. This was a normal choke. Bease had to rush up a shot at least.

Hell of a move from Brunson to create plenty of space to step in to the game winner. Thompson completely wrecked their last 1on1 possession.

Nuggets Clippers is probably our only real shot at a game 7. I can't see the Rockets winning on the road and forcing a game 7.

Correct. Especially since Trent who replaced Beasley, had a similar effect impacts on the season of their teams, have a great second half in a deciding game and turn the ball over the same exact way at the end.

So much parody in sports

Apparently, since 1997 teams up 7+ with 40 seconds to go in the 4th or OT were 1609-0 until yesterday.

Trent and Beasily handle those passes 999 times out of 1000. But the one they don't is the one most crucial.

Literal definition of a choke.

Crazy.

The one where the ball went between Trent's legs might be the most textbook example of a choke you will ever see.

Well this isn't true, because Tracy McGrady scored 13 points in 35 seconds down 8 to beat the Spurs and that was maybe 20 years ago.

Still ridiculous but there must be something else to the stat. Playoffs?

My bad. Yes, you are correct. Refers to Playoff games.

I couldn't have been more wrong on Jalen Brunson as a prospect.

yb90 · Post #1392 » by **yb90** » Fri May 2, 2025 3:27 am

Jalen Brunson is the version of Lillard the Bucks thought they were getting. SMH. Props to the Knicks for going after him.

Plossum · Post #1393 » by **Plossum** » Fri May 2, 2025 3:27 am

Pistons had a fourth quarter lead in every game this series. They just can’t close games (yet).

I don't care what some of the stats and advance stat say Jokic is a terrible defender.

I don't think the stats have been in his favor the last couple seasons.

Kick balls per 36 elite though

Plossum · Post #1397 » by **Plossum** » Fri May 2, 2025 4:16 am

Brunson got them over the line today but he dominates the ball far too much for that team. KAT and Bridges are very capable offensive players and barely touched the ball. They need to sort out a better fourth quarter offence or Boston will murder them. It’s fine with Schroeder guarding you but Brunson is gonna see a mix of Brown, Tatum, Jrue and white in his face all series.

Westbrook is having an overall good game but blowing that layup was typical.

Post #1399 » by **ReasonablySober** » Fri May 2, 2025 4:26 am

This game seven is gonna be fun. Go Clips.

jschligs · Post #1400 » by **jschligs** » Fri May 2, 2025 4:26 am

Peak Westbrook to miss a easy layup to go down 4, then leads to a 3 to make it a 9 point game...
