OG should get some version of the game ball for handling Shroeder's illegal screens like this:

This is interesting...I saw the clip were OG essentially said he got something for this- so he can move Scrotum like this and wont get called for a foul?


He certainly seemed willing to test the limits :lol:

The refs let that game get out of control yesterday. Shroeder is literally hugging OG. But I am happy to see that we were willing to oblige.

IMO Cade has some great looks on the last couple shots he took. I mean sure, OG prevented him from getting to the rim, but Cade made some nice step back moves to get himself open and just simply missed. Maybe my memory is off, but that's what I recall happening.


I prefer to acknowledge og covering space in a way that defies the laws of physics and that his presence is so intimidating to other players that they fold in pressure situations. But I'm just a realist so I fail to see in the abstract.

I believe we can beat this team by keeping a 10 point lead from start to finish but I dont think we can blow them out and hold a blow out lead.
They are 1 more guy deeper than us...and I dont think Thibs will allow Precious to play. We will close them out. None of us like this team but I cant deny that they deserve to be in the first round. Just not the second :wink: :lol:

They are a good team. They are a bobo version of our team from last year, essentially. They deserve everything they have gotten up to this point and I respect them as opponents.

But we're better, by virtue of experience and moving up to the next level talent wise, and should be able to prove that by ending this series.

Me and my friend were watching the game stressing out the entire second half. :lol: As much as I love playoff games this one was a little over the top. :rofl:

I was more stressed watching the Celtics game knowing that Orlando would not be able to close the gap because no one on that team can shoot a three. They were right there all game. I wanted that series to drag on. Orlando needs vet leadership and shooters. Boston didn't have to defend anything but the paint all series.

Oh well. We need to finish off DET tomorrow and worry about the Celtics when it's time.

KAT is phenomenal, and a walking mismatch, but you can't run the offense through him because he's not a creator.

You can put him in advantageous situations, but you need a PG for that. Thank God we have an elite one.



Well its not ideal when Cam Payne is hijacking your offense. I still contend Mikal should be running the offense when Brunson goes to the bench.


I agree about Mikal. He's not perfect at it, because his intent is rarely to break down and tilt a defense, but he could run PnR.


I think he's a better decision maker with the ball. Yes he doesn't get all the way to the basket like Cam Payne can but Payne throws up a lot of wild shots.

I think Mikal is better reading and reacting to either get to his middy or kick it out to an open shooter. Again we don't want that for long periods of time...just so that Brunson doesn't have to play the entire game.

rewatching the 4th have to give props to Bridges. He played the entire 4th and was 2/2 from deep. Both were big shots to stop the pistons momentum. One was a ridiculous fading 3 from the corner. He also had 2 steals.

They did and that style of play vs. this year's team favors the Pistons. What JB did yesterday was some Willis Reed otherworldly stuff. Cap comes back from the tunnel to take over a road playoff game that was called to favor their style.

Obs, Cade is the best player on the court.

I don't imagine there's one of us here who sees it that way :lol:

The funniest part of yesterday was even when Bickerstaff was complaining about the last call. He was like “we still want to play rough” cause he knows they can’t win off of pure basketball.
