[WEST] Playoffs - Round 2

[VF21]

It's poll time...again.

 

[kingsboi]

the Warriors can sit out Curry until the Conference Finals to be honest and then just coast to the Finals from there

 

[Telemachus]

The poll would only let me choose one. I pick Houston and GS.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Yup, Dramon Green still has the most punchable face in the NBA even in the postseason.

 

[VF21]

Sorry for the foul-up. I could have sworn I changed the default setting from one response to multiples. My bad.

 

[Tetsujin]

Rondo with the most Rondo stat line ever Rondo-ed.

37 min, 4 pt (2-11 FG, 0-2 3P), 10 rb, 21 ast, 1 stl, 4 tov.

 

[kingsboi]

Rondo in full playoff mode....21 dimes -_-

makes one wonder why he's been on four different teams in four seasons when he clearly can still help a team

I hope he re-signs and that DMC can regain even 80% of how he was beasting this season. And of course, that DMC is retained.

I don't see why Boogie wouldn't be retained...he and Davis are a scary tandem moving forward and they are both in their prime.

My saying that was due to the unknown of where Boogie wants to play. I would assume he would want to come back to NO, but nothing is certain of course.

He is good friends with Davis and plus NO is closer to home for him so he has all the incentive to stay, but as you say...nothing is certain, except two things and we know what those are

"Nothing in life is certain except the Kings missing the playoffs and the number of talented players in the draft pool being one less than the Kings' draft position." Man, that Benjamin Franklin could sure rip off a witty quote!

if the last few drafts tell us anything, it's that position is irrelevant...Kings passed up on plenty of talent

 

[Tetsujin]

I know I'm like thirty-five years late to this argument but calling a team the Jazz works in New Orleans, it doesn't work in decidedly non-Jazzy Salt Lake City.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hall and Oates tickets can only work as a "CHEER LOUDER" give away item in Utah. Maybe Boston.

 

[Tetsujin]

Donovan is awesome but when is he going to learn to not go straight at Capela like that?

 

[Tetsujin]

Can I have Donovan for the first 40 minutes and then De'Aaron The Closer Fox for the last 8?

 

[Suicide King]

You will not beat the Rockets unless you focus on shutting Capella down. It's the little things that add up.

 

[Suicide King]

A defensive center getting props heading towards the western conference finals? Surely you jest, not in this day and age.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Add Capela to the list of PF/C's that are better than Gobert.

Capela, Horford, Embiid, Porzingis, AD, Cousins, Jokic, Towns, Draymond, Giannis.
DeAndre Jordan, Dwight Howard, and Steven Adams aren't far behind.

As I said before, good player but nowhere close to special.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

I dunno about you, but I have more faith in a player figuring out how to play the first 40 than the last 8.

Donovan has been outstanding in the clutch this year in games that really mattered to a playoff push.

[Suicide King]
