ATL - Bane to Orlando for 4 FRP+ 

Post#1 » by MickeyDavis » Thu May 8, 2025 11:29 pm

We're about to blow through the last thread.

Only one game tonight.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Kerr played 13 in the first half.

I just saw that OKC gets the Philly pick if it falls outside the top 6 which is a 36% chance. They also already have the 15th and 24th picks.

Would be a complete burn on Morey if two teams jump them and they lose the pick.

That was the one they used to send out Al Horford’s contract years ago.

It’s gross the media loves giving Draymond Green a pass constantly. He’s being targeted? Lol what a joke. How many fouls are called during a NBA game? 20/30/40/50 throughout a game? Who else in the league throws a random elbow to someone’s mouth or swings a knee into someone’s mid section? No one does that except him. I don’t care about the bully aspect, you want ppl being scared of your willingness to get physical, cool. But the extra **** is so unnecessary it’s been a problem with him for years and you still gotta listen to media mouth pieces claim he’s treated unfairly by the officiating. It’s nauseating.

Didn't think he could still move, but with Steph out, gotta find shooting where you can, even if it means calling your own number.

It's pretty simple! He's treated differently because he behaves differently.

And then as soon as Golden State is done, he'll join the guys in the TNT studio.


Which lines up perfectly with when I will stop watching Inside the NBA

Cavs at full strength. Dominating. So far.

Yeah, so I am going to be stunned if Cleveland take a game in this series.

Pacers looking like a potential Finals team at this point. They’re using the Miami Heat 2020-23 devil magic.

It seems like we always run into the hot team OR a lot of teams find their swagger against us because we are soft. Latter for me.

They really don’t stop. It’s genuinely impressive.


It's impressive as hell.

Part of what makes the Pacers really good is that they play smart basketball and go hard for the full 48 minutes and most teams don't. Even if you're up 7 or 8 with a minute to go, you can't exhale or relax and think you have it in the bag against this Pacers team. Bucks & Cavs learned that the hard way.

Like I said during game 2 of this series before the Cavs choked, it almost seems like Carlisle has the Pacers brainwashed or something with how the Pacers don't stop playing at an 10/10 effort and intensity level every second of the full 48 minutes.

The Pacer's kryptonite is if you match their effort and intensity level for the full 48 minutes.

I thought Indiana tying the game up at the end of the first was a total backbreaker for Cleveland. Guess I was wrong.
