Other Playoff Series

I am absolutely terrified of facing the Lakers in the playoffs. I think Lebron has never been swept, and I’m certain Lebron will do whatever it takes to win. Including injuring players. I remember he pushed Bridges in mid-air, tried pulling Aytons shoulder out of socket. I don’t remember how CP3 got injured in the 1st round last season. I don’t want to face them… Lebron will try to even the playing field.

Miami is such a well oiled machine. Probably the most overlooked team in the East especially now with Bam back.

Ryan McD drafted this guy in the first round….ahead of guys like Keldon Johnson, Jordan Poole, Nic Clayton etc.

What’s to be afraid of with the Lakers? That patchwork squad of soon-to-be retirees has been a tragedy all season even when “healthy”

Losing to the Blazers while they blow it up and start a g-league team is comedy

Jerome was a JJ pick

I think he was talking about being afraid Lebron would try to injure our players because he is a sore loser. And if we face them in the first round, he could injure one of our main guys early in the playoffs.

I wouldn't say I'm afraid of the Lakers but LeBron will always be the boogyman that enduces some fear when he's on the other side of a playoff matchup.

JJ should stop drafting or trading picks for unathletic backup guards. Jerome and Shamet has awfully close raw stats, though the later should be much better on D.

This makes me feel even better about our chances if we come out of the west. east will be absolute dogfights every round in the playoffs imo.

Joshua Jackson on the Kings?!?! That's two more losses this season for the Suns.

And how funny would it be for the Lakers to lose the play-in to the Pelicans?

Jeez… no fear of anybody here

That was Jones. It was the Cam Johnson draft. Traded a future first for that pick and Baynes I believe.

Drafting Ty Jerome is what happens when you put too much stock into shooting, college success, and basketball IQ without considering whether a player has the prerequisite athleticism to be in the NBA. He looked like he was running in sand compared to most of the NBA while here. I liked him in college and had hopes for him, but it was pretty clear that he would be a backup at best after seeing him against NBA competition.

Ty Jerome and Kendall Marshall are two dudes that it took me like 10 mins of watching them against NBA athleticism to be like '**** I don't think this is going to work'

It's funny how eye test first impressions can go. Like Cam Johnson, after watching him for a couple games you could tell he knew how to play and was going to be fine. Josh Jackson was the other that after like 10 games I had a horrible feeling that he wasn't really good at anything.

No doubt. Not always easy to tell when someone will end up being good, but it's usually pretty easy to spot out the guys that have no business being in the league lol.

I obviously had homer hopes for Josh and wanted him to be good, but he's never filled out and his jump shot still sucks. He definitely didn't have the basketball IQ or athleticism that I thought I saw at Kansas either. Seems like he was just in a great situation for his game to be successful and had a fluke year shooting from 3.

I feel very validated in my long standing 'i want nothing to do with Kyrie' stance.

The Sixers are going to be a tough out with Embiid and those guards. Tobias Harris is a pretty great #4 guy now.

Who is their #3 guy?

Who are you pulling for in finals?
