NFT: NBA Playoffs

kelsto811 : 5/11/2023 8:49 pm
Anyone watching this Celtics/76ers game? Jayson Tatum is 0-10 from the field in the 1st galf and I think they said something like 1-22 in the first half of the last 3 games. He had some terrible turnovers too. Celtics still up 7. Is this a case of the pressure is too high or what, he had some really bad games down the season stretch too.

On another note, Suns lost Deandre Ayton tonight and are now down Paul and Ayton in an elimination game. KD is another one who has not played too well of late.

Best player in the game.
Jokic is absolutely dominating

Nuggets as a whole are playing beautiful ball but my lord

Jokic is the best player in the league and it’s quite easy. Take him over Giannis with no hesitation.
Nuggets offense is rolling

We'll see how they play in LA, but man they look good
Is Jokic bored of triple doubles yet?

that Harden to Houston is happening. That’s gonna be an interesting team to watch if Udoka can break some bad habits their young guys developed under Silas.
all these hot takes and opinions  
djm : 5/19/2023 1:27 pm : link
on why star players struggle in the playoffs....


IT'S THE PLAYOFFS. That's why. Great coaching. Great defenses. Great opposition. And just when you think you have a particular player all figured out, that same player flips the script in the next postseason.

Thanks for the info. The report this morning indicated the head coaching candidates were asked during the interview process about coaching Harden, so it seems like a wrap.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/19/2023 7:03 pm : link
Harden going back to Houston is such a Harden like move: he wants to go to a place where he can just ball free of consequences & free of pressure to win. The dude is a loser. Flat out loser. He wanted no part of being on the court in Game 7 vs. the Celts.

A decade or so from now, people are going to look at his stats & resume & think...'Wow. Harden is one of the best shooting guards of all time.' Wrong. He's a loser. He reminds me of CWebb in the clutch, when he would hot potato the ball.

But Houston has the strip clubs so James has gotta return.
Miami wins again

to get the Lakers back in the series. Denver up two at the start of the fourth.

Stop trying to back Rui within 3 inches of the rim. Get to your spot and shoot over the top of him.

My younger brother was HS classmates and college roommates with Scott Foster and they are still very close. I know Scott a bit and he’s a good kid. He certainly gets his fair share of abuse from the fans, media, and players, but takes it pretty much in stride. I don’t watch NBA basketball, but my brother clued me in to LeBron running into Scott last night so I came here to see if anything was said about it.

I'm sure the league offices are doing cartwheels over a possible Denver-Miami Finals, Haha.

I think the Nuggets win it all. I thought that before the postseason began & I am even more convinced of that now. Denver's the best team with the best dude in Jokic.

yeah, this is crazy - if the Heat sweep the Celts how do the Knicks look - not so bad. This Spo guy has some juju going. ....

Love watching the Celtics get destroyed, even if it is Miami.
Could see some big changes this offseason  
nygiants16 : 5/21/2023 10:04 pm : link
for the celtics, obviously not Tatum but you have to wonder if they look for a new costar
Coach should be out too.  
bceagle05 : 5/21/2023 10:07 pm : link
Sounds like Al Horford is doing more coaching tonight than the actual coach.

Celtics are pretty much locked into salaries except for Jayken Brown..

Wonder what they could get if they offered up Brown and drsft picks, problem for the celtics is Brown can basically dictate where he goes
Crazy how non competitive

The NBA needs to figure out a way to embrace it. They can’t keep hoping it’s a major market team or a team led by LeBron. From my perspective, this finals is sorely needed.
Save us, Denver Nuggets, you're our only hope

I will vomit for days if the fucking Heat win a title with Butler, Bam, and a bunch of schmoes.

In the conference finals so far. Hey Larry Bird and Magic Johnson- suck it. Oh and Kevin McHale go grab that stupid towel from a baseline somewhere and cry into it.
I've gotta wonder if Ime Udoka was still coaching Boston

If they would at least be competitive in this series, they were rolling under him prior to him getting canned

Udoka was suspended before the beginning of the season. Mazzulla was the coach for their hot start (21-5, 35-12).

Celtics' personnel limitations are apparent to anyone who watches the games. Tatum and Brown have suspect handles and can be pressured into turnovers. Horford has gotten old, Smart is erratic and the rest of the team flat out isn't that good.
Celtics up big in Game 4.  
bceagle05 : 5/23/2023 10:46 pm : link
Haven’t been watching too much of this one, but Miami was up six at halftime so Boston showed some fight tonight.
...  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/24/2023 6:04 am : link
99% chance it won't happen, but I still could see Cs winning this series.
Boston up big in Game 5, nearing the end of the third quarter.  
bceagle05 : 5/25/2023 10:05 pm : link
Game 6 in Miami was always going to be the toughest one for Boston to get, but the momentum is building.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/26/2023 6:10 am : link
I think Boston is winning this series.

Ton of pressure on Miami tonight.
Lowry with another dirty play (on Jaylen Brown).

Jimmy and Bam coming up small tonight….so far.
