Official Around the NBA April 2019 Playoff Edition

[BonesJones]

I honestly believe Dame's supporting cast is better than that of the Bucks. But I don't think you've watched the team play much this year. You pop in for a game or two, nothing wrong with that. Just listen to the guys who have watched every game.

You didnt just say this did you?

From someone who watches every game and analyzes every game (since you want to establish "qualifications" for some reason), Dame does NOT have a better supporting cast than Milwaukee.

In terms of top 2, maybe... but after that, definitely not.
Bledsoe/Middleton/Brogdon/Mirotic/Lopez >>> McCollul/Nurkic/Kanter/Aminu/Curry

Here’s a thought that occurred to me: Do you think that one reason the Lakers are interested in Monty Williams just might be that he coached Anthony Davis for the first few years of his career in New Orleans?

Yep. Without a doubt

 

[DaLong]

Not sure where to put this, but Meyers just retweeted Conor McGregor, "If I told you how confident I was for the future, you wouldn’t believe me. But your belief is not needed."

Literally makes me want to die by choking on my own vomit.

 

[dviss1]

So basically Lebron will coach the Lakers. You know Lebron makes himself very unlikeable. I admire him for his work outside of the sport but he is turning into a douchebag

LeBron is not coaching the Lakers...

Y'all be Trippin...

 

[dviss1]

Lowry after g1 loss.
'look I got paid 31million this year to play in 82 games not 83. I'm going to the bahamas.'

He said that really?

 

[dviss1]

Aldridge is garbage in both ends. Can't defend Jokic, getting abused in the pnr, and weak on offense.

Lol. Told y'all.

 

[dviss1]

Hence why I'd never trade for him.

Just like I said. Injured in the playoffs.

 

[dviss1]

Me too, now my gut feels is Kemba is gonna be a l*ker.

They'll get Vucevic too watch.

 

[dviss1]

He played 75 games this year. Just unlucky with the timing of it. Dude's a Top 12-15 talent right now. Acquiring him for picks and expirings and KD leaving Golden State is our clearest path to actually contending.

Stop calling his modus operandi "unlucky"...

 

[dviss1]

He'd be fine in this locker room. Hes a PF that gets 25/8/5 work solid 3pt shooting, ball handling, and defense. Hes a legitimate all-star and all his red flags do is make him cheaper and create more upside for the gamble.

No, his game doesnt depend on being the primary ball handler... hes not a primary ball handler. Reggie Jackson is insanely ball dominant as a PG. AMD you have questions whether a good 3pt shooter, who's a good rolling big, would have issues playing with a PG who excels and driving and kicking as well as running pick n roll?

Hed be an amazing fit.

His skillset is s fit. His injury prone tendencies are not.

Yeah, I don't know. You left out Rodney for some reason.

I think we match up well vs them.

Don't forget, we beat them with their full compliment in Portland this season. Now, they had no Mirotic but we had no Kanter or Hood.

It would be a great series that Kanter, Hood, and Curry would shine in.

 

[Minstrel]

He said that really?

No, he's just mocking Lowry.

 

[Chris Craig]

LeBron is not coaching the Lakers...

Y'all be Trippin...

Like he wasn't coaching the Cavs

 

[H.C.]

He said that really?

lol no.
But it certainly would explain his poor playoff performance over the years.

 

[dviss1]

lol no.
But it certainly would explain his poor playoff performance over the years.

I'll admit I googled it lol. I didn't really think he said it but we're living in bizzarro world right now.

 

[TBpup]

Just right now?

 

[Minstrel]

 

[BonesJones]

They'll get Vucevic too watch.

Nah, theyll save money for AD in 2020. They may get one star like a Kemba, but I still dont think theyd be that good.

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah, I don't know. You left out Rodney for some reason.

Rodney is about as good as Curry. You can rotate anyone into that 5th spot.

We beat them in one game? They also beat us by 43, and we're the best team in the NBA...

I don't even know if you're arguing the offense that Giannis has a better supporting cast than Dame.

 

[BonesJones]

His skillset is s fit. His injury prone tendencies are not.

His injury tendencies would make him cheaper to acquire, so his injury tendencies (which are still overstated) actually provide higher upside.

 

[riverman]

How the hell did toronto lose game one???

Force of habit...I don't believe they've ever won a game one in the playoff if JD Skeets is correct about it

 

[wizenheimer]

Force of habit...I don't believe they've ever won a game one in the playoff if JD Skeets is correct about it

he's not

they won a game 1 in the first round last year

 

[DDolla]

Embiid just elbowed Allen wow

 

[H.C.]

Embiid's elbow is a f1.
Not a f2.

Also the rookie who threw an elbow at Simmons needs to flop & yell next time Simmons crashes like that.
Will get a foul called on Simmons instead of a f1 called on you.

 

[Cugel]

Anyone else hate the Sixers? Its really hard for me to get excited about a player like Embiid who misses so many games. Simmons has never met a free throw line he liked.
Come on Brooklyn.

 

[H.C.]

I'm still hoping #trusttheprocess gets shit on by #nodraftpicksever

 

[riverman]

Force of habit...I don't believe they've ever won a game one in the playoff if JD Skeets is correct about it

correction...they've won twice...out of 16 tries...

 

[LayneStaley]

I hate Philly.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sixers have scored 47 points in this quarter and counting

 

[KingSpeed]

51 points in one quarter!!!
