NFT: NBA Playoffs- Round 2

dep026 : 4/28/2019 10:05 am
Started last night with Kawhi showing the ultimate beast he is. Sakiam not far behind. Embiid and Butler shit the bed.

Today the Western Conference starts (I know its the semifinals, but lets be realistic.)

Go KD, Steph, and Klay!!!!
Kawhi is so damn good.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/28/2019 10:08 am : link
I got an event I can't get out of until 445 or so. I'm hoping to catch the 2nd half of Dubs-Rockets.

Houston in 6.
And while it might not be career-defining  
dep026 : 4/28/2019 10:26 am : link
this is sure as hell as big series for Harden. He has no excuses. His team is healthy and playing well. GS lost Cousins, Steph/Klay hurt, turmoil as far as FA coming, not defending anyone, not getting any calls )thats for you santa).

If Harden shits the bed thsi year, he deserves all the criticism.
these 2 series today i am looking forward to the most  
nygiants16 : 4/28/2019 10:44 am : link
I think houston takes game 1 today and loses game 2 and sets up a huge game 3..

I think the bucks steamroll the celtics, i hope stevens puts hayward or tatum on giannis...
Wow Boston  
dep026 : 4/28/2019 2:42 pm : link
Lighting it up today.

Giannis no show so far.
Horford is a winner  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/28/2019 2:58 pm : link
Plain and simple. After exposing Embiid last year he’s out here limiting Giannis. I friggin love this guy. It’s too bad that people look at his typical 13/7/3 type box score and think “he’s ok”. He’s more than ok, he’s the perfect teammate.

That block sequence on Giannis was a statement.
It took Houston to get every call  
dep026 : 4/28/2019 4:40 pm : link
And GS to gift wrap 13 turnovers for it to be tied at half.
I'm just stunned  
santacruzom : 4/28/2019 4:50 pm : link
Thompson wasn't called for a foul every time Harden fell down after shooting a 3. I consider that a victory because some of those could have been legitimate fouls.

Not that I feel bad about it because I'm certain Curry will be in the receiving end multiple times with nary a whistle, but that was fortunate.

Good game Harden. 9-28. Paul with no typical no show. 3 more like this please.
CP3 is as overrated as Melo

Rockets should’ve won this  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/28/2019 6:21 pm : link
Dissaponting loss. Harden needs to get his shot going, like dep said this is “another” legacy defining series for him. Right now he’s a playoff underachiever.

Warriors still got away with a handful of dirty closeouts on 3. The refs are
playin a dangerous game not calling those. It’s a dirty play and the main reason they’ve emphasized the rule is because of the dirty play of the Warriors and Zaza. Smh. Hopefully the refs call it right these next games after the league office shows them this tape.

Still should’ve fun this. Durant is just too damn good in the mid range.

CP3 as overrated as Melo? Lmao ok
Game 2 is a must win for  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/28/2019 6:31 pm : link
Both the Rockets and Bucks. The two MVP candidates really came up small today.

Hopefully Philly shows something more because otherwise Toronto will eliminate them fairly easily. There was a time less than 2 years ago where some people thought Butler was almost Kawhis equal. Well that looks like a joke now. Butler really needs to step up because this is a big series for his career. Embiid too, Marc Gasol owned him Game 1.
I'm not sure how the Warriors  
santacruzom : 4/28/2019 6:38 pm : link
managed to finish with only two fewer FT attempts than the Rockets, but I sure as shit don't count on that happening again.

I definitely think they could have been called for fouls on a few of those 3 point attempts, but on the other hand, the Warriors defender seldom just charged at a Rocket that was going straight up and down. Harden was generally moving/jumping forward. I'm still shocked he didn't get the call, but I'm not going to sympathize.
The problem with the landing space with Harden  
dep026 : 4/28/2019 6:41 pm : link
Is he kicks his feet forward making it a guarantee there will be contact.

I wouldn’t say is overrated like Melo, he’s 100x the player. He iljust shines over everything!!!!

There were at least 3 that should’ve been fouls, on a couple the Rockets were trying to draw the foul. Either way the Rockets still had plenty of chances to win. Oh well on to the next one.

Green. Same thing as harden where the NBA said no foul.

If he gives them 85% of what Kawhi gives the Raptors, the Sixers are probably the more talented team. It’s just that Kawhi looks monstrous right now.

Bigtime ugly win by the Sixers. Almost better this way than winning when everything is going right for you.

Embiid really needs to show up though. After Giannis/Kawhi, Embiid has as good of a case as any as the 3rd best player in the East. He needs to play like it.

As amazing as Giannis is, Middleton is still their best “give him the ball to score” threat in the half court.

Unless Giannis is really is Shaq remixed where overpowering is legitimately the only option necessary, he’ll need a jumper. And even Shaq had great perimeter scorers when he won.
Osi. I love Giannis.

Of these teams are beyond unlikable. But give me the Raptors.

Embiid and Simmons have somehow made me start to appreciate Jimmy Butler. I find them both annoying on a personal level. Kyle Lowry is a massive whiner and is annoying to watch play given his histrionics, but he doesn’t seem anywhere near as insufferable off the court.

Plus Kawhi is a gangster.

This is a huge series for both franchises. If Toronto is bounced here, the chances of Kawhi sticking around go from like 5% to 0. If Philadelphia loses, I can't see them giving max deals to both Harris & Butler.

I mean they may win this series. But the extension to Lowry was dumb. Trading for Gasoline was even dumber. They ruined Ibaka this year, who was playing pretty well. Gasol is terrible.

I get the trade for Leonard but I am sure he is leaving.

Playoff Lowry in full effect again.
Kawhi just amazes me  
santacruzom : 5/3/2019 12:22 pm : link
He was never predicted to become such a well-rounded offensive force. I feel like his ceiling was considered to be a Shawn Mrion type. Just can't think of many players who were predicted to become very good on one side of the ball and decent on the other, only to become 99th percentile on both.

Klay Thompson is another example in that his defensive ability was never predicted, but I think Kawhi represents the most exceptional case.

Definitely seems like the Rockets would be better served by playing Harden off the ball in these end of game situations. He’s not getting the same whistles he does in the regular season and it kills all of the offensive flow.

Paul still looks scared to shoot.
Harden  
threeofakind33 : 5/4/2019 11:14 pm : link
Extremely fortunate that bomb three went in. He would have gotten killed otherwise. Rockets went on a run as soon as they stopped the Harden iso-ball and then he went back to it on multiple possessions. He needed that one to go in.
Curry

2. Steph Curry has been an absolute dog this series. Complete no show.
A lot of odd at the end of that game  
ChaChing : 5/4/2019 11:23 pm : link
after finding success with it, GSW refuses to double / trap Harden early near half court. Plus if you do go 1-on-1, how do you force him right? That step back needs to be guarded the other way so when you do step up to him, you're on the ball side. Andre is a top defender but that makes little sense

Then Steph misses a layup & dunk late. A non-called charge on Harden. And no late foul w/ 20 or so left, just give up?

Well no skin off my back. Made it a close game, makes it a closer series
Probably a charge but GS had just gotten  
shyster : 5/4/2019 11:25 pm : link
the ticky tack 3 free throws and it's typical you don't get those calls back to back.

Thought it was a great game. Level of effort on defense was tremendous and still a high score.

Glad Houston kept it interesting. Hard to see them winning 3 more, including one in Oaktown.
Yeah Steph has struggled

35% from the field and 25% from downtown with 5 fouls per game. I’ve ripped Harden for his poor performances so there’s nothing wrong with saying Curry has been terrible this series.

The irony of Hardens eye injury is that he is shooting much better since it. Weird.

18-7-4 on 5-12 shooting... I mean, it's not exactly up to his usual level but it's not some complete no show like your average 2018 Eli Manning game.
Plus the last shot to put the game out of reach  
santacruzom : 5/5/2019 11:58 am : link
I might add.
I’ve been in the Curry > Durant camp  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 5/5/2019 1:12 pm : link
Mainly because Currys 3pt shooting is probably the biggest cheat code this league has ever seen.

All the advanced play-by-play metrics point to Curry being undeniably more important to the Warriors than Durant. They barely miss a beat when Durant is hurt/Curry plays yet they’re barely over .500 when Curry’s hurt/KD plays.

And even if you ignore those results/metrics, when you watch teams defend the Warriors they generally make Steph priority #1 leaving Durant with easier opportunities.

I still believe all that to be true, but it’s pretty clear that Durant is the more complete 2-way player and harder to stop offensive force. Even if Curry has a higher team ceiling to his outbursts, he’s just not as consistent or complete as Durant and that matters more in the playoffs.

With LeBron not in the mix right now, the Crown is up for grabs. 2016 Curry wore it for a bit after he hit that 40ft buzzer beater over Durant and OKC. This was his league at that moment until LeBron took it back in the Finals. But with the Crown up for grabs again right now, KD and Kawhi seem to be the two who are really making a statement that it should be theirs while Curry is nowhere to be seen.
Hope Kawhi makes another statement

One of the most overlooked storylines of this year has been Lopez.

He’s opened up the game for Giannis and it could be argued that the Lakers opting for McGee instead of him was a playoff costing move considering how much spacing he would’ve added to a team without shooting like the Lakers.

Just a weirdly good career for Brook who adapted his game to a degree most wouldn’t be capable of.

Nothing Kyrie says means anything. Dude has proven that he is truly a weird person.

Total baller but you can’t try to read his moves off the court or else he’ll just cross you up like he does on the court.

For a while I thought he was better than Lillard. He probably is in terms of skillset and offensive repertoire, but it’s not a contest in terms of ability to carry a franchise.

I think it was complaining about young guys. Young guys still want to establish themselves while vets are more willing to do the dirty work as a Kyrie or LeBron just does whatever they want on offense. Kyrie was apologizing for being like (Tatum, Brown, Rozier?) those guys with LeBron.

Tucker is physical but he’s far from dirty. Only way to play Durant is physical and up close, that’s how Tony Allen owned him back in the day.

Show me a dirty play by him. He’s just a wrecking ball. Pushing Durant around before he gets the ball is the only way to defend him, he’s gangly kinda weak and has a super high center of gravity. Tucker is just getting in his space line you have to. He hasn’t done any dirty shit like Draymond.

PaulBlakeTSU : 5/10/2019 11:17 pm : link
because I thought he was as close to a prototypical point guard on both ends of the floor. I loved his game and overlooked his dirty tendencies. I hated the college nut-punch. But I thought he was maligned for being on bad teams in the NBA.

But as he's gotten older and perhaps a half step slower, his antics have gotten worse and worse. He's such a dirty player. Every game he deploys such cheap tactics to try and trick the refs and pretend like he was knocked out or hit the head. On top of that, he seems like such an asshole.

When you combine that with Harden's tactics, and I just have such a hard time rooting for Houston. And I'm a huge Morey fan.

I can appreciate Harden's skill. He has mastered footwork, timing, and reading his defender better than perhaps anyone in the history of the game. But the way he uses it to draw contact, flop, and kick out his legs makes it so frustrating to appreciate how brilliant a technician he is.

I don't think Harden gets enough credit  
PaulBlakeTSU : 5/10/2019 11:38 pm : link
for how incredibly hard he works, and how technically brilliant he is.

He is the evolution of using steps to create space. Ginobili popularized the Eurostep which changed the game. Harden's maneuvering has had the same effect.

His timing, body control, and his awareness of how his defenders move and executing his own movement to draw legitimate fouls are all the result of myriad hours in the gym practicing as if he were a professional dancer. His ability to deceive the refs to make bad calls in his favor is also the result of incredibly hard work. But I just don't support what he's doing. I think it's cheap and degrades the League.

The scene with embiid and gasol after the game is what sports is about. You may not be into the whole congratulate your opponent but gasol ran right up to him and consoled him and love or hate embiid.... that emotion he showed out a new respect I have for him.

The shooting was poor.... but those 5 76ers and about 6 raptors left everything on the floor. Loved every second of that game.

Embiid needs to cut the shit with the flagrant fouls (and the flailing). He’s going to hurt someone, potentially seriously at some point. He doesn’t need to do it, he’s great without it.

Still, I agree. Always love to see an athlete who cares that much. Definitely earned some good will.

Brogs is great. I know he's an RFA, but unless he has some red flag like injury, I would have loved NYK chasing after him. You'd think if they are paying all their guys, someone has to shake loose. He'd be a fantastic starting PG, but also would be great value to chase down a different max than Kyrie. I know KI is a pkg deal, just fantasizing

Kawhi just being Kawhi and taking his sheep with him to the finals.
Over/under, 955.

He has his own stage right now in Toronto, like a mancave on stage with his crew I assume outside Raps' arena and a crowd watching him watch the game. So fn weird
I don't see either of these teams beating GS likely even w/o Durant  
ChaChing : 5/23/2019 10:48 pm : link
The Bucks length might be a slight curveball. But they go cold for ages regardless of the defense. Raps outside of Kawhi are outmatched at every spot basically

Certainly either could get hot out of nowhere, but on a bad day GSW will outscore these guys and still has solid D to help on the other end
Entertaining game  
MookGiants : 5/23/2019 10:49 pm : link
but both Milwaukee and Toronto will get absolutely destroyed by the Warriors.

Those are 5 game max series.
Middleton  
MookGiants : 5/23/2019 10:50 pm : link
has been atrocious in pretty much every way
It hit the rim

Watching Lopez trying to rebound is pathetic  
dep026 : 5/23/2019 10:53 pm : link
Always has been pathetic and always will be. Toronto got this.
Kawhi is the best player in the game  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 5/23/2019 10:53 pm : link
.

Kobe level or even better. He surpassed Pippen as the best person to pair with MJ tonight.
God Milwaukee knows how to fuck up things  
dep026 : 5/23/2019 10:55 pm : link
Jesus.
Brogdon  
MookGiants : 5/23/2019 10:56 pm : link
hasn't been much better than Middleton either. How did he not try to grab that ball before it went out?
GoldenState wouldn’t lose a game  
dep026 : 5/23/2019 10:59 pm : link
With a healthy Durant.
I still think this goes

I think Bucks in G6 will be the most heavily betted road playoff CF post-Game 4 in a long time. I’d be truly surprised if they lost.

Still got Toronto overall

Brogdon was much better than Middleton last night. Cmon.
This is an epic  
MookGiants : 5/25/2019 10:38 pm : link
meltdown by the Bucks.

The type of meltdown that gets a coach fired.

They were up 15 with like 4 minutes to go in the 3rd, now they're getting smoked.

Two games in a row with huge leads and blowing both of them
They’re in deep shit now

Kawhi posterizes Giannis.  
bceagle05 : 5/25/2019 10:40 pm : link
Can't believe Milwaukee is gonna drop four straight.
Kawhi posterizing Giannis...Bucks are on their last gasp  
ChaChing : 5/25/2019 10:41 pm : link
There's time and they aren't down too far, but it ain't looking good, esp in Toronto w/ everyone rabid for their first finals
Bucks bounce right back.  
bceagle05 : 5/25/2019 10:44 pm : link
Should be a fun finish.
Of course the moment I say that  
ChaChing : 5/25/2019 10:45 pm : link
it's a 7-0 Bucks run and a 1 pt game
Giannis looking a bit flustered on the O side  
ChaChing : 5/25/2019 10:55 pm : link
Last possession he had the ball in the paint with space, even had a G on him, but didn't even look at the rim

That was a great block tho
Kawhi is a legend  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 5/25/2019 11:04 pm : link
The Bucks blew it but they had a great season. Giannis can be even better.

Great series. Lowry and the Raps depth showed up when it mattered. Durant’s health matters, hope he can play. Kawhi is so great he can guard Giannis and Curry. Can’t have him chase Curry around but certain situations he can lock him up too.
Congrats Toronto. Kawhi is ridiculous  
ChaChing : 5/25/2019 11:20 pm : link
Giannis is a legit MVP candidate, but if I were him I'd be in the gym starting tonight / tomorrow working on my FTs & Js. It's not easy & would take time, but it's simple

He already pretty much unstoppable, but if he had even an avg or just below J, Bucks likely don't lose this series (not solely his fault but just as the star that's the expectation)

its been a rollercoaster 24 years of being a raptors fan so ecstatic that they’ve reached this stage. Leonard is indeed the no drama superstar
