Around the NBA - 2024-25 Season Continued Again

[WargamesX]

Good thing is they don't play defense like Detroit or Boston. Towns gotta get off

We didn't have Kat so now turner has to guard him so the lose their rim protector. Og doesn't have to guard the much faster Halliburton like last year he can guard Siakim. Bridges on Hali. Jb on nemhard and hart on nesmith

illson- they defend. It’s not their strong suit but they bring energy. Turner and siakam do solid interior help work. can’t sleep if we get past Boston.

matching their intensity will be key. they are up up right now.

Yeah after last year I am not taking the Knicks beating them for granted. They play really high energy and look to score quickly in transition. I think Mikal matches up better with Hali but they play Siakim at the 5 and Toppin at the 4 and that is an entire different look than what we seen so far.

He doesn't like us. B4 the series started he didn't book a room in a NY hotel for game 6. He was confident in 4 or 5 games. That's what fat lazy ppl do.

To be fair, he might not have been wrong about not getting a G6 room

Is that link a portal into The Hot Tub Time Machine?

If you see IQ and RJ in the tub just pretend we're still negotiating with Ainge to avoid upsetting the multiverse.

No rhyme or reason for the scores from one game to the next

Damn. I'm out here like:

[Worst_to_First]

Nuggets using a zone to protect Jokic from pick and roll action. We were fortunate KAT was able to contest the Celtics' jumpers as solidly as he could.

[Galvationknicks]

Should someone bump up the old game 1 thread against the pacers last year??

After game 5 of course

[Capn'O]

OKC needs somebody who's been there before because nobody there has. Like PJ Tucker. Or Giannis.

[Galvationknicks]

Holmgrum has the stupidest face

[K_ick_God]

OKC is a threat to us and screw iHart

[Galvationknicks]

Denver playing hard

[Galvationknicks]

Westbrick returns

[kNicksGmen]

Kenny Atkinson lack of adjustments were interesting to see

I mean he changed up rotations/subs a lot - maybe too much, felt desperate.

have to take care of boston first them can dive into it more but it will be interesting to see if the pacers don't copy everyone and guard hart with their center.

last year i recall OG struggling a lot with Siakim and we had Divo/Hart on hali. he is a great back to basket turn around guy which is essentially impossible to defend. on the other end there isn't a great place to hide brunson - i assume he'll guard nesmith.

[NYKnickerbocker]

Westbrook gotta be the all time leader in airballs lol

[K_ick_God]

What’s more embarrassing Westbrook firing up back to back airballs or that he’s winning?

Eh...the core of that team is flawed. It's been that way for several years now. They thought it was the coach but how can you fix a team that collapses like that in Game 2, or their star misses 3 free throws in a do or die game, or their bigs disappear...and that was only this offseason.

I mean...shyt, Bickerstaff's Detroit team gave us a shyt ton more trouble than Bickerstaff's Cavs and our second option was RJ Barrett in that series.

[Clyde_Style]

I want Denver to win because I like Jokic

and

I want to play Denver in the Finals

Dude. Things are lining up.

Caruso?
