Around the NBA (Part Two)

Just follow the money. (Gambling)

Who gained the most from Dallas winning the lottery?

[Neeva]

Cavs are such chokers.

Of all the remaining teams the pacers are definitely the team I'd want to play the least

Why? Won’t matter it’s gonna be Wolves/Knicks in finals.

Pacers would run on us a lot. We are a half court team. That said I think the Pacers are weaker than the Knicks and Thunder. The only team I want to play more than Indy is Denver.

[Neeva]

I think they all will be equally tough, wolves just have to find a way to start hitting their outside shots again. I trust Ant and Jaden to lead the way.

Denver is too playoff experienced for this young okc team. Big 3 of okc have "deer in the headlights" look.

Time will tell if individually they aren’t clutch, or just too young for the pressure of playoff bb.

Den starting 5 is looking solid

[Loaf_of_bread]

Lol. 2 airballs in a row from Westbrook from 3.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Denver could not hit a bucket at the 4th except Jokic. OKC will make it through. Denver has to many inconsistent players with Westbrick, Porter, Brown. Jokic is not human but he can't do all alone.

[Neeva]

:I guess NBA teams decided to choke today. Denver let Dort and MPJ beat them .

[Loaf_of_bread]

Denver really let that one get away. Jokic needed a few minutes off at the start of the 4th. Also, needed to run everything through him. They had it, and got complacent. Westbrook throwing up airballs when moderately open doesn't help, lol.

OKC is the only team in the west that scares me. That said, if we make it through we will be sharpened by the experience. I would love a Denver game 6 win and then hopefully a Denver game 7 win, but I don’t think Denver has much of a chance.

I used to think that okc was CLOSE to unbeatable. Not at all anymore, even though we are unpredictable.

Our defense, particularly when we play with intensity, can beat them. Need everyone focused. Julius needs to cut out the nonchalance. Rebound. Jaden can give SGA nightmares, and quite possibly ruin any confidence he has left.

Honestly I fear this one comes down to the benches. We need DNA to play like they did in the regular season.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

I think we match better with Denver as we beat them last year but on the other side, if we play OKC, we will be the underdog and we are good when we are not favored. Let's finish the job first ( not done yet).

[KGdaBom]

What an opportunity Denver blew. If anybody other than joker would have shot straight.

Yes. Let's win tonight and get some recovery time.

[winforlose]

It was just pointed out to me that Zion was sent to the Pels right after Davis was traded to the Lakers instead of Boston. The Pels went from 7 to 1. This is a pattern.

Yes and have an actual scrimmage at least once in 5 days off this time.

[KGdaBom]

Boston looking good tonight. It just sucks so bad losing Tatum like that. Honestly my heart goes out to the team and their fan base. Boston has had massive success in the league, but unlike Laker fans the Boston fans I've talked with are good people.
