How are people saying Valanciunas is doing badly when he has 8 offensive rebounds before halftime? His shots aren’t falling but he’s completely dominating the boards.

because nobody, including him, can capitalize off of those extra boards

Yup, heard a lot of this about KD in the Nets game. Almost like the Celtics and Suns are great defensive teams

You seriously don't have Book in your top 10? Which means you don't have him 1st or 2nd team All NBA.

I think a better question is what does your MVP list look like....

Wrong thread but I’m also curious for this one

TIER 1: Biid, Freak, Joker.

Tier 2: Doncic , Tatum, Booker, that bouncy Grizzlies PG

Tier 3: insert someone from bulls, ???

He has to be top 10 but who is it you consider top 10 ? Durand ? steph ? bron ?

1st Team: Luka/Booker/Giannis/KD/Joker
2nd Team: Ja/Steph/Bron/Tatum/Biid
3rd Team: CP3/Trae/Derozen/Siakam/KAT

MVP: Joker/Biid/Gianis/Booker/Tatum(Bron)

So they normally make all those shots that are rejected by Bridges, Ayton, and McGee?

im not exclusively talking about shots attempted at the rim/in the paint, so please, please pipe down obnoxious suns fan

Lol, just thought you might want to pay attention to the defense a little. You might be only seeing one side of things.

CJ throws up some garbage on the regular, very Westbrookian lowkey

He's gigantic and is at the rim.

Literally everything else has been a disaster.

Val is pushing off almost every time down there but still this is a shameful showing by the Suns.

CP3 is so good

Sure but in instances where it’s not him missing afterwards (which plenty of them have been) that is not on him. 9 offensive boards before halftime is utterly enormous. He is the only one doing anything effective on offense.

Ayton with range is worth a max.

AussieRules · Post #176 » by **AussieRules** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 2:18 am

Finally McCollum makes the skip pass, I’m shocked!

People talking about these 8th seeds not being rested or whatever. Or how about you just don't name your team after a bird? Something to think about

schnakenpopanz · Post #178 » by **schnakenpopanz** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 2:19 am

everyone talking about doncic vs trae is missing the great development of ayton, he has progressed each year so far

Antinomy · Post #179 » by **Antinomy** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 2:19 am

This is why I don’t care for the Play-In games.

We play 5 meaningless games to decide who gets ran outta the gym by the top seeds.

Ayton starts hitting 3 pointers consistently and they're winning multiple rings. *knock on wood*.

Who wins the series?
