[NBA] West Playoffs, Round One

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Now that that's out of the way (and let's not kid ourselves, you all knew this was coming)...

I'm not going to act like five blocks is nothing, but you're allegedly the best player on the team, and you only attempt four shots, and only get to the free throw line once, and you only get five rebounds, as your team gags a twenty-six point lead, at home?! This is now the third game in this postseason where he's no-showed, and his team has lost two of them.

extend the three point line so it's the same distance all around. eliminate court side seats. not going to happen though. profit profit.

or just make the corner a two. No more standing around in the corner and less bail out shots when teams play great defense and the offense swings it over to the corner for the short three

this is a quality option as well

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That was a killer screen by Cousins to get Forbes that open: blocked two Warriors at once.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Cousins feasting on Golden State's interior defense. He's got nothing for Jordan Poole on the other end, though. In fairness, neither do the rest of the Nuggets.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I see Curry has finally landed in his proper role as a microwave scorer off the bench.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Apropos of nothing, what a*****e is responsible for scheduling these playoffs? Three eastern conference games yesterday, three western conference games today? What the hell?

 

[steelevt]

man my Jazz fan buddy is all on on firing Snyder. I asked if we could have him.

the crazy thing is he thinks Luke would be a good idea.

Any chance they throw in that scrub Donovan Mitchell too?

I don’t having MPJ or Murray healthy would have fixed any of the Nuggets’ issues. This is a mess

 

[miltonap]

will they fire Mike Malone if they get swept ?

They shouldn’t seeing as they just extended him but I absolutely could see someone in the front office trying to cover their asses by having Malone take the fall for the sweep.

Nuggets and Jazz have peaked as currently constructed so both teams need something huge done in the summer

 

[serbiangoat]

Are the Jazz seriously getting beaten by a Mavs team minus Luka?

I look at their roster minus Luka, and I think, how is it possible that the Kings miss the playoffs for 16 straight years when that roster is apparently all it takes to win against playoff teams?

Like, am I crazy ? Why is it that we can't do that.

We try so hard to get stars, to get the stars to align, meanwhile look at that roster.

Why is this so difficult ?

Cousins/Fox is/was why the Kings can't do it.

You really don't think prime Cousins or Fox would be the best player on that Mavs roster?

College rowing team. Everyone rows in the same direction. Hard to tell who’s off pace, slacking, hung over, or unwilling to move positions in the boat to maximize the team’s chance to win.

Don’t think @serbiangoat is talking about talent.

Crowder has been been the elite troll of the NBA for the past 5 or so seasons he's excellent at this sort of stuff much respect.

 

[Tetsujin]

Donovan with a hustle rebound (that he stole from Gobert) for the and-one to potentially help save the Jazz's season.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dwight Powell gonna Dwight Powell

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol Donovan finally passed it to Gobert!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, if Mitchell ever was going to pass to Gobert...

EDIT - Ninja'd!

And Rudy gets a finger on Dinwiddie’s three to preserve the win.
