Indy definitely getting 7 or 8 seed, otherwise I wish both Saltics and Nix make PO. That trash they call teams with no lotto picks for years to come will be hilarious.
7 thorugh 10 seeds all make it with a play-in tourament.
Winner of 7 vs. 8 = 7th seed
Winner of 9 vs 10 = plays the loser of 7 vs. 8
Winner of 9/10 vs. loser of 7/8 = 8th seed.

Youre judging his defensive metrics based on 1 or 2 games? Really not sure thats a useful stat.
I saw several instances of Aldridge contesting shots at the rim. He is at WORST the same as DJ defensively. Probably better.
And offensively he is 10x better.
Who cares what Detroit fans said?
They were obviously salty. Me and others tried telling you he was just openly quitting to get out of there. Nothing this season he did meant anything.
Theres plenty of minutes for Claxton if were not playing DJ.

Talking about taking Joe out the starting line up is silly. With all love and respect to Jeff he ain't Joe and dont provide value that Joe does. I already explained to few bloggers out there that Jeff can't provide consistent shooting ( duh nix game? already forgot, props to him for taking it to the basket because he's jumper was off. he's also lucky Randle is a trash defender. there's been plenty more games like that, selective memory by some is funny to me just to fit their narrative), don't shift defensive from side to side due to shooting ( duh, dude historic numbers ) , can take it to the basket and make a perfect pass, solid defender.

KD was looking for his own shot the moment he entered the game, hitting all five attempts and getting to the line on aggressive drives.

LMA contests more (hence getting more blocks), has more active hands, and is certainly doing a better job protecting the paint. On the offensive end, we've lost the lob threat (although LMA can still roll occasionally), but LMA Is opening up the floor for the other guys by dragging bigs out of the paint. It might not show up in his individual numbers but it's having a huge impact making things easier for others.

Green is shooting 42% from three on nearly 4 attempts per game. Everyone has off nights. criticizing his shooting to me seems absurd. he has been really consistent with it to:
December - 44%
January - 46%
February - 36%
March - 38%
April - 45%
Now whether or not to start him over Harris? Mostly it is irrelevant because Harris will still play 30+ minutes. Who starts really comes down to what lineup gives us the best chance to avoid getting in a hole early on. Typically this year when that happens, its because defensively we allow open threes and a layup line. If Green or Brown help us keep it even-ish the first 3-4 minutes and you bring in Harris at the 8 or 9 minute mark I can see that.
Without Harris we still have 5 good to elite 3 point shooters on the floor and the same ability to blow someones doors off from tip-off.
For me I think its wise to go either:
Kyrie | Harden | Joe | KD | Claxton
or
Kyrie | Harden | KD | Brown or Green | LMA
You need at least 1 defensive/hustle guy in there

as of today, 560,000 thousand people in the United States alone have died from Covid, including people I knew personally. It's ironic that you write a diatribe about people consuming propaganda and mixing politics with sports while in the same paragraph you a) regurgitate far right wing propaganda about the Covid19 pandemic echoed on Fox News, OANN etc and b) also go out of your way to inject your political opinions into a discussion thread about a basketball game, after complaining about politics mixing with sports. Huh?
I think most of the GB is full of mouth breathing idiots and 13 year old sh*tposters too, but you're not painting an exemplary picture of yourself here either.

It is a bigger reflection on societal issues as a whole. People are fed propaganda everyday in front of their faces, from Lefraud is the GOAT to all the mass hysteria on covid by the left, to landlords being a free involuntary social service, to virtue signalling and politics mixing with sports... its a disaster for the weak minded and those unable to think critically imo. Many people really have their values mixed up and cannot comprehend "the impossible". That is what holds many back. Adidas said it best, anything is possible and you grow as a person when you accept alternative view points that are thought out with reason and logic.
Also statistically, KD is arguably the GOAT finals player ever, and Kyrie is also historically a monster performer in the finals. It is not a surprise to people who can stop drinking the haterade because I constantly hear how guys like Curry and Dame are "without question" better than Kyrie, and while I can support discussion on reasons why these guys are better than Kyrie, it is funny to hear people always talk down Kyrie.
The 2016 finals werent won because Lefraud led both teams in 5 categories. It was won because Kyrie outperformed Curry (and also friendly whistle for Lbj where Curry was in phantom foul trouble in game 6 so the league could get a game 7 for their golden boy). Dame is very much Curry-lite in that they're not really that great in isolation and at creating their own shot without a screen. Kyrie is the definition of a professional high efficiency scorer at all 3 levels. In his current role he isnt being asked to do too much.
Harden has struggled the most in playoffs when teams can key in on him with strong disciplined defenders. The current Nets situation is a perfect situation where he will have 2 of the 4 best professional scorers in the league next to him (I consider KD/Kyrie/Kawhi/AD the 4 best 3 level scorers in our league).
Agreed, it's not opposing opinions I have an issue with. It's the unwillingness to listen to an opposing viewpoint that makes me think these are paid bots, a majority of these guys treat an opposing viewpoint as an attack on them personally. Or perhaps I just overestimate people in general..
It doesnt help when the moderator team makes arbitrary "arguments" that are in line with Bronsexuals.
Eg. "but KD has a massive talent disparity"

I mean when I read message boards, its clear who knows what theyre talking about and who is biased. You can construct perfectly reasonable arguments that are not shared by me but when mods make blanket statements that are full of hyperbole, or stuff like "well he's the best because i said so". It is an accurate reflection of the low IQ on the GB and PC boards.

Yeah they are. I know it was the Pelicans, but you saw how ugly it got when KD entered the game. All of a sudden the ball was popping all over the place and defenses were scrambling leaving guys open for easy shots. Guys like Bruce Brown and LMA will feast like Lions in the Serengeti based on the holes KD opens up. The offense went from 90mph to 170mph as soon as he touched the floor. And this is without Harden.
