Around the NBA 12

Shoutout to Dyson Daniels *one of my sleepers* for winning most improved player...

I think Bub should be a candicate for ROY or even have won it. My guess is they probably were too busy trying to showcase Jordan Poole for a TRADE and played Bub less and often a bit out of position... Either way great rookie year

Crazy finish in that Knicks v Detroit game. Big comeback, Jalen faking Thompson out of his jock for the 3 and then Beasley butterfingering Cades pass out of bounds when he was wide open. I don't think either will get by Boston but Detroit was really close to winning this series but lost twice cause they couldn't quite finish it (NY got some help from the refs too).

Butler and Curry getting all the BS calls against the Rockets.

ruins the game, makes it frustrating to watch

Love to see both LA teams knocked out

Harden has proven he is not a champion player. How many playoff chokes has he had?!

Harden low key makes a lot of sense on this team.

how did you come to that conclusion? harden/melo would never work.

Who would have thought that buddy Hield would save the warrior season. That was his unexpected as sleepy Floyd in freaky tales.

Amen Thompson is 80% of an absolute stud. He'll probably never be able to shoot so he'll never be able to be the guy offensively. But he's only gonna get better

The Warriors have way too much redundancy at the forward positions - one of brooks, jabari, eason needs to be moved.

short-term goals - team is better suited for durant than giannis, but they''ll prob get one of them - using combo of pieces - sengun, green, reed, the 3 forwards above, cam, picks

Buddy should have gotten at least 40, it was ridiculous how little shot's he got in the 2nd half. The Stars insisted on forcing their crap.
I wanted Houston to win so Kerr and Curry would get roasted for ignoring the hot hand like that.

I don't see any growth out of that core, they are what they are.

They are still up 3-2 in series, I would think they win one of the next two and aren't collapsing a 3-1 lead.

coming back to this, that team is gross seeing how much it cost them.

KAT is playing so dumb today, he's making Miles look like a genius.

5 first round picks for a solid defending guard who scores occasionally?

maybe a new coach can sort it out better

Spamming 3's offense hurting Boston. it just seems so stupid to keep trying what isn't working

Luckily our coach has no ties to Boston and would make us play anything like that…

They won the title when he was there. I don't get acting like that's a bad thing.

probably the same reason i was frustrated today. when its not working, try something else.

what a steal by Denver, i still think they lose the series though

Post #1818 » by **fatlever** » Tue May 6, 2025 6:33 am

**** insane win. wow.

I've watched almost every game so far in the playoffs but I checked box score earlier last night and it seemed like BOS and OKC were both well in control. Wish I'd watched both games now.

Yeah, I can’t stand that offense. Celtics took 60 threes out of 97 shots. It’s no wonder the current game gets criticized by so many former players. They still nearly won it.

Big opening wins to shift the series. Nuggets look energized.
