Eastern Conference Playoffs, Round 1

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Jimmy Butler can play on my team, any day.

 

[Tetsujin]

Being a fan of the Kings, just once I would like to know how it feels to have three defensive mainstays like Butler, Iggy, and Bam on the floor at once.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It's always a head trip to me, when guys who played in the league, and were defensive sieves, become analysts, and start talking about defense.

 

[Tetsujin]

And time for the whiplash of going from watching a gritty defensive team in the Heat to a team that is not acquainted with the concept in the Rockets.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Did Jimmy Jackson just say "self-conflicted"? I think Ohio State may owe him a refund.

Eh, Michigan guys do it too. So do Dukies and Tar Heels and most everyone else.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Bam is the closest comp to Chris Webber in the modern NBA. Not that he's at Webber's level though

I thought that was supposed to be Harry Giles lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings castaway Garrett Temple currently with 21 points against the Raptors. Going off this trend, Buddy's gonna drop 60 in a playoff game for the Magic or some team next year.

 

[Tetsujin]

Joel Meyers must be enjoying finally getting to call good games after years of having to cover the Pels

 

[Tetsujin]

Man, the Nets just pooped their pants with a chance to tie the game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Joel Meyers must be enjoying finally getting to call good games after years of having to cover the Pels

Hey now, he got to call about eight months of good basketball (5 months of the Davis/Tyreke Pels, plus 3 months of the Davis/Cousins Pels).

Brand paid $289 to Tobias Harris and Al Horford he and colangelo combined to kill the process as it was finishing

 

[Joshoua]

Laughable thinking Kawhi is better than Luka, defense I don’t wanna hear about it luka creates it all kawhi doesn’t

Brand paid $289 to Tobias Harris and Al Horford he and colangelo combined to kill the process as it was finishing

The process was killed when Fultz turned out to bust for the Sixers and they got nothing for him.

Speaking of which, the Brett Brown era is coming to an end

They still would’ve been a title contender if they offered butler a 5 year max Embiid/Simmons/Butler is enough

 

[Tetsujin]

Butler didn’t want to play for the Sixers though.

 

[Joshoua]

Butler didn’t want to play for the Sixers though.

I believe it started cause management wouldn’t give him a 5 year max immediately, he’s come out and said he had no beef with the players but management. How do you give up assets for him not not give him the max but give it to Harris

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Orlando just got stuffed on a two-on-one break. I going to go "way out" on a limb, and say that Game 2 is not going to turn out like Game 1.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If you weren't watching this ORL/MIL series, and I told you that there were three players from the 2003 NBA Draft class still in the league, I wonder how many people would guess the third, without having to do an internet search?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We've got Trouble in the Bubble!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That double-ejection's going to hurt Orlando a lot more than it hurts Milwaukee.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That was a nice move by Tatum, but it was set up by a better screen, by Theis, which deserves more recognition.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

And the perfect contrast to the good screens set by Theis would be the horrible screens set by Kanter.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I just heard the word "deleterious" during an NBA broadcast.

I love this Mark Jones/Doris Burke announce team.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

TNT's studio crew remains the best:

Ernie: "Coming up next, The Nets and the Raptors."

Chuck: "Please watch, anyway."

If one team boycotts. But the other team shows up and is ready to play, would it be a forfeit?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If one team boycotts. But the other team shows up and is ready to play, would it be a forfeit?

The part of me that enjoys chaos would love to see what would happen if Orlando had the audacity to request to be awarded a win via forfeit. Would they even be safe to walk around the Bubble, after that?

 

[Section 101]

If one team boycotts. But the other team shows up and is ready to play, would it be a forfeit?

Should be automatic. Bucks should have to pay back advertising losses.

If I were down 3-2 I’m taking the win and telling the nba the next game is 3-3

Bobby Marks: There is “failure to appear” language in the Operations Manual. – forfeiture of the game – up to $5M fine That doesn’t mean it will be applied in the case of Milwaukee boycotting G5. Like everything this year, we are dealing with situations that have never happened before.

For Bucks Boycott gesture to actually mean anything , Bucks need to forfeit the game
The Bucks must have some level of sacrifice if they really want it to mean something
otherwise it is just an empty gesture.

If it just means their game is played a day later?
Just a bunch of Millionaire players blowing smoke up us fans butt.
