Around the NBA streets Vol. 5: ONE MORE TIME

[J-House]

Lakers the weakest looking 1 seed in awhile

[IggieCC]

Still had a monster stat line, but offensively he didn’t look his usual self. Particularly with AD being charmin soft.

Team outside those two has some pretty trash players. Wouldn’t expect pesky Danny Green to be that bricky going forward though.

didn't watch the whole game, but it looks like he tried really hard to get others (esp. AD) going but they didn't answer his call. this has happened to chit Cavs before but LeBron still came through at the end until he faced overwhelming talents in KD Warriors and such. I expect LeBron to go up a notch, but it ain't anywhere close to super saiyan type LeBron anymore for sure.

Danny Green must have used up all his voo doo 3 pointers in 2014 Finals coz I've never seen him shoot that well outside of that series/year. he was pretty trash last year's playoffs and he's plenty trash now

Danny Green and Gary Neal. Our finals resume is trash for containing scrub shooters. JJ Barea too smmfh.

Dirk went super saiyan that series though. We still should've won - blowing what, a 14pt lead in the 4th at home in Game 2? FOH

Yeah if LeBron didn't pout and let Wade be the FMVP, we could have won. instead he decided to be smaller than Jason Kidd and JJ Barea in the biggest stage of his career. sheesh

2014 Finals though.. I never felt so helpless watching basketball games. That well oiled Spurs machine with voo doo chit shooting was some unstoppable force. combined with Wade and Bosh being totally run down from 4 straight Finals appearances.

Hack—a-Davis was very effective. While AD did go 12–17 on FTAs, he shot only 33% on FGA’s. Nurkic, Whiteside, Garbriel, and Melo all had 5 fouls a piece. I wonder how many of those were on AD?

Another interesting stat, Blazers only had 5 offensive rebounds compared to LA’s 17 and Blazers committed 7 more TO’s yet the Blazers still won.

Not gonna win many games in today’s NBA when you go 5/32 from downtown. A lot of those O boards were probably kick outs for bricked treys.

It's wild that Philly was basically making moves with Hinkie every step of the way, then he gets overridden, and eventually excommunicated from the house he built. I will always look back at his tenure as one of the greatest of our time.

Same

Eww, get a room

I wish he wasn't martyred, so ppl will stop eulogizing his fake dynasty but alas

Would've been better than Colangelo and Brand, tho

Raptors 2018

Or Celtics 2017

Bucks 2020?

Hawks 2014

Pretty much all Eastern 1st seed teams that didn't have LeBron on it from 2011-2018?

Those o-rebs and less turnovers allowed the Lakers to take 18 more shots. Yeah the Blazers made more 3’s, but only 8 more.

My point is, this was not a game where the Blazers played so perfect and the Lakers so bad that this outcome is unlikely to repeat. It looks like this was a game that both teams played well (especially on defense), the Blazers just played better.

Glad we got the one good year of Danny Green last year Wilts, I mean he was complete chit in the playoffs but regular szn dude was hitting 3s at a pretty good clip. Non contract year Danny is dumpster juice

What ever happened to the league cracking down on flopping? Feel like Lowry would be broke if they still fined for that.

[Wiltside]

Lol at Fiz hair. Dude should stay bald, Mr Potato Head style.

Embiid would look good in Heat colours.

Gonna get Embiid and AD next year after their teams flame out in the first round.

Sixers look cooked

How the mighty have fallen. They were a very strong team last year. If they would've won the Finals, I wouldn't have been surprised. The Process is done. All hail Colangelos and Brand!
