NBA Playoffs Rd 1 Game 5: Nets @ Sixers 8:00pm

[Fish 22]

Another excellent start to the third.

Turning this crap off. Bench everyone.

Joe Harris is colder than Eskimo pussy.

But the Warriors are actually 7th in the League in 3 point attempts. And only 1 away from being 14th. Houston takes 11 more per game.

They don't take a crazy amount of 3s. And don't rely on them to win.

Steph lives around the rim a lot. KD is elite at the mid range.

When they're shots aren't falling they find other ways.

They also have 3 of the best 25 players in the NBA on their roster, so I guess that has something to do with it too.

Well obviously. But they had that in 2016 too and still lost.

I just don't want the Nets to fall in love w/ analytics and think we have to keep taking more 3s. That **** doesn't always work.

Statistically Joe Harris was not supposed to turn into Markelle Fultz.

the analytics betrayed the Nets big time in that regards w/ Joe. If you told me he'd be shooting .18% in the playoffs I would have laughed at you. Now I'm at the point where I think the Nets immediately need to send Joe to see the team's sports psychologist because this is 100% mental.

Hell, Russell might need to as well. He's clearly had the yips. can't gameplan for that or explain it with analytics.

I think there should be a balanced approach...the analytics should be used as a guide but that cannot outweigh the human side of the game, the feel of the game, momentum, etc.

smackdown

[Keith Van Horn]

hate to end the season like this. such an amazing and fun season with one of the best groups we've ever seen. Philly was just the bigger, stronger, all around better team. Very hard to watch this play out.

Funny, it's the exact thing I said about Yanks letting go of Girardi for Boone.

It's the hex of Markelle Fultz.

actually, the inside of Inuit igloos are very warm.

[IceManBK1]

DW lost his touch too.. I don't know if KA should be the coach of this team..not his fault players missing shots..but lack of in game adjustment and pregame preparation is obvious. We can't run a system based on shooting 3s.

You're adding nothing of substance with garbage ass statements like this. So its Kenny's fault that the best shooter in the league pissed his pants in a playoff series? Spare me with this crap, you've been trolling this board all season dude.

Our guys lost faith...not playing hard not playing crisp disciplined ball on both ends..it starts with the coach and then the star player.

Yeah but in hindsight Joe was allegedly a really big douchebag and didn't give a rats ass about the players, as opposed to how Boone treats them. I think that counts for something even though its ultimately a business.

Like even here, you can see that Kenny cares about these guys, sometimes to a fault at times when he'll let guys work through it when it may not be in the team's best interest.

[Keith Van Horn]

Allen stops Embiid, Levert gets the outlet and dribbles off his own foot, which leads to a Tobias Harris 3. Perfect summary of tonight right there

[Born_Ready]

I swear this is what it looks like when I play NBA2k19 on pro.

[IceManBK1]

Philly toying with us...dlo just made a 3 on like 2-15 the inefficiency killing us.

While I agree with you about Kenny, I'd still take Girardi over Boone.

oh, I was actually being serious with that piece of useless information, but yeah I guess that's a double entendre as well

[Keith Van Horn]

i'll see you guys in the Offseason threads soon
