What exactly is MPJ doing taking big shots at the end?

His shooting numbers in this series:

1-8, 2-10, 7-10, 1-7, 1-7.

Honestly the east looks very bad right now. Even these playoffs don’t see the Knicks or pacers beating Denver or Okc in a finals matchup.



Delusional Raptors Stan detected

what are you talking about? den/okc series is the championship right now. i don't expect either knicks or pacers to compete against them.

Okc is so well-built. They got everything. Should be an easy title

A series between them and 2019 raptors would’ve been craaaazy

OKC needed to be tested. I think they go on to win the title now.

not really into the mpj slander when he’s playing thru a shoulder injury that’d have him out for months in the regular season.

Their offense leaves a lot to be impressed with. Shai can't shoot pull up 3s and his passing iQ isn't that great. Jdub also don't shoot enough pull up 3s consistently, so you can zone them. But they are a special defense, their defense is comfortably better than that Raptors team. Lowry/FVV/siakam would be in hell against them.

One of SGA/Ant/Brunson/Haliburton getting a ring would be great for the league. The future is now.

I still think OKC should win it all but their offense been disappointing this series to me. They have had great shot quality according to second spectrum and are just shooting very poorly, so maybe that flips soon.


shout out Joker though, I was getting worried. 2 out of 5 great games is fine vs this defense and how they are defending him is fine.

It feels like they have been getting great shots, Denver has basically been leaving someone open every possession and it's great D when they miss like they have been most of the series.

SGA has been missing every 3 this series basically up until the big one he hit late in the game
