Event Around the 2025 NBA Playoff Madness!

[Chris Craig]

Huh? One was MVP of the conference finals.

The other is on a $160 million contract pulling rown 3rpg on 37% FG for a 36 win team - his most wins in 5 years.

Siakam is definitely a good deal better. But, same issues.

Forwards who can lead their teams in scoring and hit threes, buy constantly are selfish, get lazy on defense, and lose the ball.

 

[Chris Craig]

I'll be glad when this is over.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

It's probably been awhile now that we knew Jalen Williams was a better draft pick than Sharpe. But scoring 40 in the finals to lead his team to a win from the title kind of puts a nail in that coffin.

It was obvious sharpe was mid the second we drafted him. At least to me. Was never excited about that pick and he hasn't proven me wrong yet.

Dude is leading his team on scoring over 20ppg in the finals on great efficiency. His defense is good too. He won a title in Toronto.

Grant didnt lead his team in anything. Simons Deni Sharpe all averaged more than him.

Pascal averages over double the rebounds of Grants laughable 3rpg.

It's like saying Jokic and Nurkic are more or less the same player because both are tall, white and foreign.

 

[crandc]

Thought the Pacers might pull it out.

Why even follow it then? Are mods required to watch the games for that huge salary your paid?

Was hoping the Pacers would get it, but it looks like that is not happening.

I don't get paid shit.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Dynasty incoming. Presti gonna put those assets to work to stay on top.

too early to tell

swap their teams from day 1 they entered the league. are we talking about blazers in
the finals of are we talking about shaedon being a major contributor for the thunder in the finals? which is more likely?

I don't see much of a difference

Siakam rebounds so there is that.

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[crandc]

Perhaps the Pacers could borrow Caitlin Clark. They need consistent scoring.

Dynasty incoming. Presti gonna put those assets to work to stay on top.

The last time they had the makings of a dynasty, ownership there was scared to pay the players and blew it up…..wonder how they will handle it this time? Future is always bright, til you gotta’ start cutting the big checks.

They have the assets to make it happen this time.

They had the assets last time. ACQUIRING the assets isn’t the problem FAMS…..it’s RETAINING said assets.

We aren't talking about the same things.

They have like 30 picks. They can navigate things if they want to be cheap much better this time.

Pacers having an extended intro for their starting 5. Last home game of the season for them regardless. I think this one goes to the Thunder and they avoid an elimination game in these Finals.

 

[kjironman1]

The Thunder look out of sorts. Kinda wonder if there is too much time between games. Everyone seems rusty at the beginning of the game.

 

[blazerkor]

What a difference a half makes. This is as bad as I've seen the Thunder play in these playoffs to this point in this game. I think they're capable of an epic comeback but at this point I'd imagine we'll see a game 7.

Obviously this isn't over but yeah they have not played well. I'm betting they will make a run in the second half.

I thought it was just that Harden wanted his own team - that's why they broke up the last time.

 

[blazerkor]

Nah, Harden was pretty bummed if I remember correctly. I think all three of those guys and Jeff Green thought they were going to do big things together. If my recollection is correct it was due to the fact that all three guys would have been max extensions.
