Oso planning to go pro
I’m not sure about the 3rd win, but it’s not like the last two have been all that convincing either. Yesterday and last year against Miami were pretty ugly wins.
Yep. I think today makes them 3-8 in game ones since Bud took over.
They for sure have 4 wins in game 1s of a series. Off the top of my head...yesterday, Heat last year (sweep), Pistons Bud's first year (sweep), Raptors ECF (up 2-0, should've been up 3-0). Losses were C's Bud's first year (win in 5), Magic in the Micky Mouse tournament (win in 5), Heat in the Micky Mouse tournament (lose in 5), Nets last year (win in 7), Hawks last year (win in 6), Suns last year (win in 6).So I think 4-6?
Nice to see Brunson lighting it up.
Doncic being out really changed that series.
Ya. I missed how he injured himself but that's a real shame.
Up 16 in the 3rd quarter in a game largely playing for nothing. Similar injury to the one Durant had...then rushed back and tore his achilles. An example of why the Bucks rested their starters the last game of the year.
Would be.a heck of a win if Dallas pulls this off. Maybe it's me but I think Jokic is cooler than Doncic.
Brunson with a 40 pt game. Regarding Jokic and Doncic. Jokic is clearly the better player right now, but Doncic is actually a pretty good dude in general.
Doncic has the ball in his hands a lot more and can launch indiscriminately. I like that Jokic basically doesn't force shots and let's the game come to him. He's also a legit 7'0, 305. Truthfully Denver doesn't have much with Murray out. However, if Draymond Green was guarding me and I was Jokic I would pound him down low and drop 55-65 pts.
If Poole plays anywhere near this way consistently look the H out. I'm not sure how you guard them. I suppose I would try to play at a slower tempo and pound the paint but NBA teams don't do that.
Most exciting team to watch play, period. So unselfish, always deferring to the hot hand and making each other better. Also, Curry +29. The roster with Wiggins, Green, Curry, Klay, Poole is just scary. If you can't exploit them inside, they will just torch you.
Poole is the perfect exhibit for what NBA teams look for in the draft. Averaged 9 points and 1 assist in college - but showed he had NBA type skills.
It also helps if you can have him learn from probably the greatest shooter ever, and Klay. You can see a little bit of Curry in his play style. There is an advantage to getting to learn from the greatest.
