NBA Playoffs, Round Two

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Interest level: falling

 

[kingsboi]

the Jazz have not looked good in this first half but they are still within striking distance

 

[SacTownKid]

I mean, this is the series that I expected Cousins to get some run in: I knew that he wasn't going to play against Dallas.

They need players that can get their own at times regardless of who they play. Lue tried to coach a little in that first series and it nearly cost them a first round exit. haha.

 

[sactowndog]

76ers bench is not very good offensively

Damm dude. I wondered why Milton went off... now I know. Please opine how dominant Philly is next time.

 

[sactowndog]

Let’s be honest. Basketball has never been better. You have talented players from all over the world that 30 years ago would have played another sport.

right, they can't count on Lue scheming up offensive possessions

 

[Tetsujin]

Play Boogie, you cowards

"They are on their heels about how to guard Mitchell"

Considering they have one of the best perimeter defenders in NBA history and another all-defensive team perimeter defender on their roster, it shouldn't exactly be rocket science.

the talent is exceptional, its unfortunate the rules don't match up with the talent

Took them a few games to figure this out with Luka. 2 great defenders on your team and you guard Luka with…Reggie Jackson???

 

[kingsboi]

Niang gives me Boris Diaw vibes. maybe its the build

Like, I understand that you can't afford to have your superstar player exhaust himself entire on defense every possession but it's not like he's not tiring himself out switching on every possession like the Clippers do.

 

[Tetsujin]

Zubac's a super solid player. Every thing you want from a role player big.

 

[Tetsujin]

Gobert cannot stifle Zubac for whatever reason

 

[Tetsujin]

Play Boogie, you fools

 

[kingsboi]

Wade rooting for the Jazz just doesn't seem right. how much ownership does he have in that team?

 

[steelevt]

I dunno why but I kinda wish d-wade was part owner of the kings instead of shaq

 

[Tetsujin]

Donovan with the nice pass to Kenny Atkinson. Clippers inexplicably still in this.

 

[kingsboi]

now that was a quality second half of playoff basketball. need to see the Nuggets compete tomorrow

 

[Tetsujin]

Ty Lue not knowing how to draw up plays comes back to bite the Clippers again.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kawhi should’ve just taken it though

There was definitely some good D, but I'll be damned if either of the Clippers' stars wanted to take the last shot. "You take it!" "No, you take it!" "No, YOU take it!" "Nah, we'll let Morris take it!"

based off history, that horrible breakdown of play with time running down leading to a blocked shot isnt that much worse than what he would have drawn up during a time out

they had a time out left so I have no idea why they didn’t just hit pause after the first Paul George pass that nearly went out of bounds.

 

[mac]

Do you think George Karl has admitted he was wrong about Seth Curry yet or is he still sour about that?

He's crossed it off with being right about WCS and called it a wash

 

[kingsboi]

very unfortunate performance by Denver tonight

I mean a series doesn’t start until the home team loses but man, the nuggets looking horrible on the road. Will they even win a game at home?

unless Jokic gets some offensive help from the likes of Porter, Barton or Gordon then this series will be over faster than I thought. They need to cut the head of the snake for Phoenix but they don't really have any good defenders, they got rid of them all

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Great job Phoenix Suns.

I'd love to see the broom come out in this series.
