Around The NBA - Round 2 - New Thread!!!

We all know the NBA is staged, but the script is really bad

You use their length to bother Harden and Kyrie on the outside and block their passing vision. Force them to drive into Embiid. Durant feasts.

You're not stopping that offense but that's how I would try to slow it. Force Durant into a playmaking role and wear him down.

What would you do?

Don't get me wrong. Nets would be heavy favorites. But Philly is the only team in the East I gave a shot. Unlike Milwaukie, they have a center who actually plays like one. Embiid will be a big problem for them.

Unlike Atlanta, Brooklyn at least has a big body in Deandre Jordan to throw at him, instead of a bunch of 6'8"-6'9" guys. Not that Deandre is some Embiid stopper but he can at least offer some size and not get thrown around like a dirty napkin

I figured that was a funnier way to say I have no f'ing clue how to deal with those 3 if they're healthy.

what you said about using length on harden and kyrie and funneling them into Embiid and forcing KD in a playing making role and hope to wear him down sounds like some really smart sht - until you read those names. I mean that is a lot of what ifs on 3 HOF players.

And that doesn't even address the issue of relying on Simmons and Tobias not **** the bed on the offensive end.

For sure, and with that game plan Joe Harris goes bananas too. It's a long shot but probably their best shot.

I still don’t get how Houston didn’t end up getting Harris in that trade

There are a few things I don't understand about Houston's end of that trade.

Because It was not Ujiri trading away the star.

Nuggets trying to dress like the Warriors to get an edge.

ayton isn't really good at creating his own shot, but he's really an incredible finisher

Literally a second later he pulls a hot sauce move on Ayton

Booker has great counting stats but DOES NOT make his teammates better...

[Sark]

Jokic is the worst defensive center I have ever seen. Phoenix just attacks the middle, and he just watches easy shot after easy shot. I think Chris Dudley played better defense than him.

Enes Kanter with handles?

What’s your explanation for the Suns scoring in the paint at will and Ayton hitting hook shots in Jokic’s face

[HEZI]

Jokic really carried these scrubs into the 2nd round? Definitely MVP worthy

Not the worst but... can't get away with that in the postseason.

Gtfoh...his defense has been solid all year.. jokic is not going to allow himself accumulate fouls because MPJ gets constantly beat

I would take Kanter if you put a gun to my head and forced me to choose. He at least hustled.

Jesus. You hearing this Channel? Somebody fight now.

[Sark]

Just start counting how many times Phoenix attacks the middle. It's freightening.
