Around the NBA 2022 Playoffs: The Thread

[wizenheimer]

Wow, there was a face I haven’t seen for awhile. Saw Jarret Jack on Suns bench as assistant coach.

did he step out of bounds?

 

[blazerkor]

There's something nice about seeing our former players sucking but then I remember that they needed to suck in the play ins and them sucking now does us no good at all.

 

[Titan]

did he step out of bounds?

Well the bench is out of bounds, makes perfect sense for him to be there.

He better hope whoever the Lakers hire can make Russ play the role of a hard nose defender, who will take some open spot up jumpers, slash to the whole or pass the ball on offense with the starters and/or lead a bench unit because if Russ won't do something like that, Bron is going to have a hard time doing anything if he makes the playoffs with Russ.

 

[Predator]

Kat plays on a lousy team.

lol you act like it’s everyone but KATs fault for only attempting 4 shots when it’s primarily his fault.

I predict that Westbrook and Horton Tucker go the Knicks for Randle, Fournier and Kemba or DRose because LeBron wants to play with him.

[SlyPokerDog]

LeBron wants to play with him.

Kinky!

 

[MickZagger]

I wonder if he learnt that being a GM is a tough job?

 

[RR7]

LeBron requesting a trade publicly I see

 

[blazerfan11]

Counterpoint: LaMarcus put up back-to-back 40+ point games in upsetting a talented Houston team in the first round. Meanwhile, Kat has managed single-digit scoring in 2 out of 3 games...

Every team with KAT on it would be lousy.

lol you act like it’s everyone but KATs fault for only attempting 4 shots when it’s primarily his fault.

No, it's not primarily his fault. If a big man complains he's not getting enough shots he's a whiner/malcontent, but if he decides to be a team player and doesn't complain he's soft and "doesn't care."
Towns is not the coach. If the offense is fucked up and Patrick Beverly is jacking up more shots than a super-efficient power forward in a playoff game, the coach should be fired immediately.

But the thing is, the Wolves were a lot shittier when he was getting MORE shots. This is the problem when you have a big man who's useless on defense. This is why Enes Kanter and Jahlil Okafor are out of the league.

That's a lot of face.

 

[THE HCP]

did he step out of bounds?

Only a few would get this joke! Well done!!

 

[THE HCP]

did he step out of bounds?

During our broadcasts….at any point if ANY player on EITHER team steps out of bounds with their heel…..everybody on headsets yells, “JARRET JACK!!!”

 

[Strenuus]

Even the CJ one?!

It’s not the coaches fault that KAT decided not to force up some shots.

That’s like blaming Doc Rivers because Ben Simmons passed the ball under the hoop instead of taking the wide open dunk. It was clearly on Ben Simmy.

He mastered that as well as Steve Blake seemed to master getting a foot just over or on the 3 point line. So infuriating

"the coach should be fired immediately...."
Stop it.

Or Zach Collins mastering the art of fouling 3pt shooters.

[KSF-ERIC]

Anyone else notice Calabro has been calling the NBATV games?

 

[Wade Garrett]

Love this stuff.
It's what it's all about.

Why would Knicks make that deal?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

 

[DDolla]

Utah will be a new team next season.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Why would Knicks make that deal?

They love stars like Westbrook in NY. Do you think there is a better package they can get back for (including) Randle?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Gotta make your free throws.

Some Laker fans seem to have dreams of trading him for Dame!
