Around the NBA - the 2020 Playoff Edition!

[Rastapopoulos]

How did the Miami Heat end up being better than us? How do they play better defense than us when they sometimes have 3 guys on the court who are not very athletic at the same time? How come we didn't get Jimmy Butler when Minnesota traded him? Are they in better shape than us? Are they held more accountable?

Everybody who acquires Butler gets immediately much better. And then he leaves a year later. (Admittedly, I think he may have found a home in Miami, but he's left the ruins of Chicago, Minnesota and Philly in his wake.)

Maybe the NBA MVP needs the Bubble MVP...

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

that was not a foul!

 

[illmatic99]

That was an awful call.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

that's blatantly taking away a sure victory.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

javie is outright lying.

 

[tlongII]

Make up call.

 

[illmatic99]

Two mistakes don't make it right.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Horseshit officiating on both the last plays

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

well, that's not really a foul either, but it's the fair thing.

 

[illmatic99]

What was the O/U for this game?

 

[tlongII]

NBA refs are horrible. It’s embarrassing how bad they are.

 

[Mediocre Man]

What was the O/U for this game?

It didn’t come into play

 

[B-Roy]

Game winning free throws! Just what everybody loves watching. Best part of basketball!!

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Leave it to the refs to screw up an exciting game. It's like they had to give the Bucks an excuse if they lose the series.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

On a different subject, looking back I can't believe I was ecstatic that we got Little instead of Bazley. Boy do I feel dumb!

 

[illmatic99]

it would hilarious to see houston lose here

 

[Tince]

I can't root for Paul or Westbrook.

@BonesJones Curious on your opinion on Billy Donovan's coaching from last year to this year? Did you see big improvements? Roster better made to fit his system? Why does it appear OKC is producing similar results with less talent? Anyone else, feel free to give your opinions as well.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Adams is overrated

 

[illmatic99]

harden has no place being in MVP conversations given how much he disappears in the playoffs every year

Less talent? CP3/SGA/Gallo > RW/PG13%

2/12

I like your opinion @KSF-ERIC. Las Vegas (who represents the betting public) though OKC was going to be much worse this year returing the same coach, so I jumpe to the conclusion that the majority of people thought OKC downgraded in talent. Was there a Western Conference predicted thread at the start of the season? I know if I responded, I probably messed up on OKC big time as I thought they were going to try and tank!

 

[B-Roy]

SGA is playing AWFUL.

 

[illmatic99]

why does scott foster get assigned these massive games?

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Dort picked a good time for a coming out party! He didn't have a spectacular season, but for an undrafted rookie he did pretty well.

What do people think - flash-in-the-pan, or does he have a future in the league?

meyers leonard had 30 in a closeout game facing elimination in the conference finals a year ago.

he's a great defender, but this shooting ain't sustainable.

 

[illmatic99]

i just realized CP has been traded for two Rockets from different teams.

Neil traded Gordon for him as a Clipper from New Orleans.

Then Westbrook and OKC.

 

[Cugel]

Harden could def. have career in the WWF. such a shitty actor.

 

[illmatic99]

so much flopping on that possession holy hell
