NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 6

[dobrojim]

I just started watching the denlac game (in delay)

I think it's going to snow. Harden is playing defense. Lol

(Was at the time)

Not sold on CLE's coach. Carlisle has been doing this
and doing it well for a long time. That said, the series
is far from over.

[dobrojim]

Draymond seems more likely to hit 3s on his 1st att
then miss for the rest of the night.

Crazy night from Hield

[dobrojim]

So far. I'm just now starting the 2nd half.

[9 and 20]

Jalen Green laid another turd. Bad contract? The guy is so insanely athletic but it's not translating all the time (yet).

VanVleet is terrible, too. I'm not sure why they don't play Eason and Jabari Smith more. They seemed to prefer Adams and Sengun together.

Warriors playing guys in their mid-30's 40+ minutes. Not sure how much gas they'll have in the tank for the next round.

[dobrojim]

I thought FVV played well until game 7.
Was surprised to see he's getting like $45M
in his option year IIRC what they said last night
after the game was over.

Cleveland's new coach magically transformed them from a fifty win team to a 60+ win team. Whatever went wrong yesterday is not his fault. Jarett Allen was the primary reason they lost last year's playoff series against the knicks when Randle suddenly remembered how to play basketball, and his stats yesterday were not great (I can't see the game because it's blacked out). He's a little spindly, which is no big deal during the regular season but when the refs swallow their whistles during the playoffs it becomes a big problem.

Not looking good right now, if I'm being honest. They crushed Miami though, maybe they just had a bad game.

That series is far from over now.

Cleveland is fine. They lost because they shot 9/38 from 3-point range (.237) while Indiana shot 19/36 (.538). And despite the whopping 30-point edge Indiana had by shooting more efficiently from 3, they only won the game by 9.

I'm worried about Garland's toe

Yeah, I also feel like Cleveland was coasting against the Heat and it took them a while to get it into their rhythm against the Pacers.

[9 and 20]

Not sure which team I dislike more between the Knicks and Celtics. Celtics are very easily hateable as a group. Knicks have a couple of guys I really like, like Josh Hart, but some of the most objectionable dudes in the league like KAT. Overall, I think the C's take it as the easiest team to root against. Either way, should be good hate-watching entertainment.

[closg00]

Brunson is the king of clutch shooting, they need to double him sometimes
EDIT: He missed the game winner

[closg00]

Another fantastic playoff game, Knicks steal one

[AFM]

That was an incredible game.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

The Knicks were more poised.

Tatum took several hero ball threes that didn't drop.

[9 and 20]

It's still hard to believe Chet Holmgren's physique can hold up. Even game to game, let alone year to year.

Jokic looks like he gets fouled every other play. What a great player. Also pretty impressed with Christian Braun. Still love Russ!

[9 and 20]

Another great finish. Saw the unmistakable(ly handsome) Popeye Jones celebrating with the Nugz. Aaron Gordon with the last minute last series and now the nail in the coffin three to finish off OKC. Love the NBA.

[dobrojim]

Nice job Nugs.
