[NBA] West Playoffs, Round One

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Twolves defense looks good. Naz Reid would have been perfect next to Sabonis in the front court

I feel like that presupposes that Reid was ever on the table. Like, the Timberwolves had Reid and Walker Kessler and told the Jazz, "Nah, it's cool, y'all can have Kessler."

Just checked that suns had taken 9 out of last 10 games between those two before the playoffs , but now are on the edge of 0-4 defeat ...
interesting trend ...

Sit down --- Edwards is best in the league end of story.

 

[Tetsujin]

lol the suns really decided to trade for Brad Beal to create a “Big” Three only for the guy to crumble under the bright lights of the playoffs

 

[Tetsujin]

AAAnd Brad decided to hit the showers early haha

 

[kingdivac]

Booker is a good player but got clowned by Edwards on the block.

 

[Tetsujin]

And now Chris Finch blows out his ACL. This game has eeeeeeverything

 

[LoungeLizard]

Edward’s just obliterated Durant after leaving Beal in the dust…WOW. Dude is beasting!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Man, not often you see a coach blow out an ACL in a game

 

[kingdivac]

Okogie, season on the line - miss FTs

 

[LoungeLizard]

Just blow it up PHX..we won’t mind.

Where does KD go next?!

 

[kingdivac]

Where does KD go next?!

2 years left on his contract - Suns are saddled.

Think he’s going to stick to this? Won’t try to demand out to a different “better” shot at a ring?

Barnes and Huerter for KD, easy decision for the Suns GM*


*I'm assuming he's trying to get fired in this scenario after hearing that Phoenix doesn't have a first round pic until 2030

 

[fansinceday1]

Wolves looked good. Thats how you improve from year to year. They got rolled by the nuggets in the first round last year and now they come back and sweep the suns to move to the 2nd round. Congrats wolves. I hope they do better this year against the nuggets.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Ant is a top 5 player. And hilarious off the court. Dude is a supernova

 

[iowamcnabb]

This is way worse than the kings not making the playoffs and a reminder that “on paper” doesn’t mean much. 3 self creators, length, they added 3 and d role players and they couldn’t win one game. Their only way to get better is hope for more chemistry with another year or that some team is dumb enough to break Nurkic into two useful defender types. Otherwise, it’s Durant off to a contender at the trade deadline. If I’m them I’m seeing if I can flip Beal to the Nets for Simmons. If it works you have an elite defender and facilitator and if it doesn’t he comes off the books after the season. Beal of course would have to approve it but could be a good pairing with Bridges.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Where does KD go next?!

East, please

 

[pdxKingsFan]

East, please

With the caveat that if he’d like to destroy one the young cores out west over the next two seasons I could deal.

 

[iowamcnabb]

East, please

Pods, Kuminga and Wiggins is a pretty enticing trade package. They have picks too. LA and Phoenix Golden State are the most intriguing franchises to watch this off season. All three of them have aging superstars they are trying to maximize and the window is closed but not locked. Tick Tok as our departed forum member used to say.

He's 36 yro this year -time is catching up....no position to demand - out with the old.....in with the new - like a bunch of the older stars - their time is waning.

Come to Sacramento, KD. Who needs corner threes when you can just take DHOs from Domas all night?

Pretty much the only piece the Wizards got out of the extended Brad Beal deal was Jordan Poole and that somehow still counts as a win for them lol

If De’Aaron Fox only attempted 12 threes in 4 games, half this forum would throw a parade.

Where does KD go next?!

He will try to go to whichever team wins the championship this year. We all know he takes the Hardest Road.
