Jokic goes 4-13 for Denver
Kris Dunn goes 6-7 for the Clippers
Yet Denver controlled the game.

What is wrong with the Clippers? Too many ex-Blazers? Their defense was horrible. I thought the Clippers would win this series easily based on the way they finished the season. I still think it goes 7 and the Clippers have a good chance, but still, this team should be better.
 
So Thibs had a foul to give in his pocket, and he didn't get Hart and Brunson back in the game? I would love to see Detroit
come back and win the series. They won't, but still it would be fun to see NY fans have another melt down.

Well, I haven't been wrong yet, but Harden and the refs in game 4 of NY/Detroit are conspiring to destroy my perfect record.
 
I see KD ending up in San Antonio. Would be a perfect fit.

A MASH unit is a perfect fit for KD. He's averaged 46 games per regular season in his last 4 seasons.

Also Middleton was a 3 time All Star. Williams wasn’t.

How much of that was playing alongside Giannis? It's like all those Cavs players they made All-Stars (Williams, Ilgauskas) because the Cavs were so good because of LeBron. Middleton is a solid player, no doubt (although injuries have ground him down) but he's really the kind of player just designed to be the #2 to somebody who draws all the attention.
 
As I watch these playoffs I realize how we aren’t ready yet. The NBA has gone back to early 90’s physicalilty. Teams are grabbing, holding, pushing, shoving and basically assaulting the other team without foul calls. Funny part is prefer this to the soft, phantom foul calls that happened in the regular season.

If this is the new NBA playoffs we are going to have to reevaluate the vets we add. I want guys who are going protect our young guns, get the extra possessions and play smart.

Lastly I think Billups vision of this team is spot on for the new NBA playoffs. Long athletic guys who aren’t afraid to mix it up.
 
One last note if they allow these guys to be this physical in playoffs, Boston may not win the title. Boston relies heavily on the 3 point shot, when they face a good defensive team they may struggle to get those 3’s.

But that was the point! Someone said Giannis doesn’t play well with others. I said Giannis played well with Middleton and won a title. Same person then said Middleton was a role player (which is ridiculous.) Also, as to your point, Ilgsuskas was an All Star the season BEFORE LeBron arrived.
