Around the NBA 2022 Playoffs: The Thread

[Chris Craig]

wasn't Ime Udoka a 'finalist' for the Blazers?

No

 

[DDolla]

What’s CP3 playoff record when up 2-0 ? Anyone?

 

[Chris Craig]

Ime and Kidd first time coach… look like we pick the wrong one

Yep, as usual

 

[blazerfan11]

27 points for a half would have been pathetic for the Tank Blazers.

Ime and Kidd first time coach… look like we pick the wrong one

Uhhh, Kidd isn’t a first time coach.

 

[wizenheimer]

all Phoenix has to do is outscore the Mavs by 1 point....right after outscoring them by 30

 

[Chris Craig]

Man, the Suns are going to be in an interesting position for next year if they lose this game.

Obviously they’ve got to run it back… but kinda reminds me of the Jazz. Great regular season team, but I’m not sure if they’ll be able to get it done in the playoffs, particularly with CP3 aging.

Need to trade his ass if they lose this, which is what it appears. He's a choker. Always has been.

I don’t think he’s long for the league

 

[BigGameDamian]

Boring

Better watch the Pens/Rangers game.

 

[DDolla]

Dame was right about Jason Kidd

 

[Wade Garrett]

That's some real 'Critical Thinking' there.

 

[Chris Craig]

I don't watch hockey

 

[blazerfan11]

Phoenix still has a chance.

 

[Chris Craig]

That Jason Kidd is a damn good coach

I thought Monty was supposed to be good

Realistically they won’t be able to trade for anything nearly worth his value to that team though. And a big part of what he does is make Ayton better. Seems like a predicament.

Also, not sure you can say CP3 is the choker. DBook is MIA.

Do they have one of those bells to ring when you get buried alive? How much oxygen is left?

He choked for the Clippers, for the Rockets, and now it looks like for the Suns

Been so impressed with Kidd defensively all year.

The best team guarding the pnr 2v2 with late peel switches. Really good technique fighting over screens. Went away from his blitzing scheme as a base but will vary the level of the drop and the amount of help they bring weakside. Drive help is on point most nights. Will switch off strongside corner on wing blowbys. X outs are clean on the weakside. Multiple efforts on scrambles.

Love to go late clock switch into a double or just straight double if the ball is in best players hands with less than 7 or so seconds to go.

All really good stuff

Simply cannot blame this on Chris Paul. He is the 3rd or 4th option. This is on Booker and Ayton.

 

[wizenheimer]

I don't think I've ever seen a playoff team shit the bed this bad

 

[Predator]

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow… 65-27

Id be so upset if I were at that game

 

[Chris Craig]

I don't think I've ever seen a playoff team shit the bed this bad

The Warriors are feeling estatic

 

[PDXFonz]

I don't think I've ever seen a playoff team shit the bed this bad

Especially at home in a game 7

 

[wizenheimer]

Doncic has 30 points on 13 shots. Suns have 29 points on 43 shots

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Mavs can’t miss?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Chris Paul has been their go to guy at the end of games for the last two years.

Warriors did but it wasn't a Game 7.

 

[Predator]

Lol, most of those teams got injured.

Also, this isn’t the same CP3. His role on this team isn’t to average 25/12. It’s to average like 10/12. Hard to get those assists when players are bricking shots. Not to mention Ayton is getting abused on defense. And Booker is absolutely nothing on offense. He could be much more aggressive. This is hardly on cp3.

 

[Chris Craig]

What a joke. The NBA should be embarrassed.
