I haven’t watched many playoff games this year, but I need some help, is Tucker starting for a playoff team into the second round? I thought for sure people told me this was impossible. How did this happen? Is Houston a terrible team?

Haters.

Tucker was always one of my favourite players. The guy just does the little things, intangibles that help you win. Whether it's grabbing rebounds, putting a body on bigs, guarding out on the perimeter or hitting threes, the guy goes out there and plays his ass off for you. I'll always root for him

The guy has Lebron level impact on the game. He's the real MVP

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain are the only rookies to reach 200 points in the playoffs faster than Mitchell, who did so in eight games. Mitchell had an off shooting night in Game 2 against the Rockets, but he broke John Stockton's franchise rookie playoff record with 11 assists to help lead the Jazz to a road win over the NBA's top overall seed.

Donovan Mitchell is currently shooting 30.2% on the series. People are drastically overrating his impact. Ingles is the key to that team and when you stop him the team fails.

Flavor of the month
Soup du jour

he Has to prove it once he comes up on the scouting report as Eddie Johnson says, and do it for two seasons in a row and then we can rap. Not a playoff series or 1 season averaging the pedestrian numbers he did, although good for a rookie.

I thought they hugged it out after the series. Maybe they didn't completely make up? I just think if you do settle a beef then you don't go around wearing stuff like that or saying stuff.

Not sure if Gentry is coach or Rondo

Don't forget the nachos. He loves the nachos....also driving while super intoxicated. What's not to love?

I always liked him too but glad we let him go when we did.

Also, he's like the 8th best player on the team. He only starts because they need a defender at that spot and they already have 2 HOF PGs both of whom are MVP candidates manning their offense on the perimeter.

TJ is better than PJ and has been for years. PJ still cannot dribble nor can he shoot from anywhere other than the corner 3. He is a great fit for Houston in the role he is in, but is not a player who traditionally would start on a title team, and you are absolutely kidding yourself if you think otherwise. You literally need 2 offensive dynamos who can create for everyone else at a hall of fame level for it to work with his offensive deficiencies.

Rondo is a beast.

Remember most here hate him and say he is useless... And same with Rubio..

And now with Payton.

These players just need to be motivated to play hard and they produce.

Bad teams aren't for them because the need good finishers to encourage them making plays.

And also... Kevin Love is apparently done according to some people here...but he's killing Raptors as a super Robin next to a first option like LeBron.

3 point shooting:
New Orleans 14-31
GSW 9-31

If you're up +15 from 62 3PAs in the game it's extremely difficult to make it up in other categories for the rest of the game.

Who are you pulling for?
