If he's healthy for the playoffs, league might be in trouble.

I've felt for years that when he's healthy, Kawhi is the most perfect basketball player in the league, a joy to watch.

My question is how on earth James was allowed to waltz down the lane from beyond the 3-pt. line. How do the Celtics not have someone immediately stop the dribble before he even reaches the lane?

Terrible non-call, but over the top drama queen stuff, especially with an overtime still to play.

LMAO at Pat Bev approaching the ref with a Nikon camera to show him evidence that LeBron was fouled.

Lakers are pure comedy.

Wow, I didn't forget, but rather completely erased from memory the Nuggets going to the fake WCF against the Lakers during the bubble.

The bubble is perfect for pundits & trolls. People give Jokic, Mitchell, Murray, etc a ton of credit for balling out in those playoffs. Those same people claim the Lakers won a fake championship.

True, but there were also many of us who considered the entire thing a manufactured farce.

Watch on YouTube

Lakers got the memo and are playing 2 guard and 3 guard units down the stretch.

I find to stop Tatum u just limit his drives and let him take those jumpers

I like what im seeing from Ham. Its not yet there and they might not even make the playoffs but shows creativity with his rotations

Watched the Lakers-Celts game.

Seems like having these Thybulle-Melton or Pat Bev-RW type defenders is the way to beat the Celts.

The celts relies a lot of dribble drive. If you limit their dribble drive by putting these quick and athletic guards, it will stall their offense. This also leads to Tatum and Jaylen settling for a lot of contested mid range while you also limit the other guys from getting their points by limiting dribble drive.

Not sure about this but its an interesting thought

Good to not see Embiid nor Harden on here.

Just interesting to see Tatum on top of that list. This is why Celts brought out Brogdon because they were exposed against the Warriors. Specially if you can have a Wiggins type defender. And my belief is you can also put someone like Thybulle and Melton who can stop his dribble penetration and just live with him taking contested jumpers.

Pop quiz:

What active under-30 player has the most career steals?

Post #238 » by **Stanford** » Wed Feb 1, 2023 5:30 pm

Could John Collins guard Tatum or Brown?

My guess would be OG or Tatum.
