Is Draymond really a near-lock for the HOF? I thought he was a Hall of Very Good guy playing with a bunch of studs.

I assumed Brooklyn was going to put up a better fight. I still think a path of Chicago/Boston on the road is better than Brooklyn/Boston at home.

Green is widely considered to be the Rodman or best overall defensive player in this era. Whether that's accurate or not I don't know but it helps a lot that he has played for that team and system.

The Bucks Game 1 woes are looking more like a trend. So not having home court doesn’t worry me as much as I assume an 0-1 start against good teams.

Middleton being hurt might help the Bucks win this series. He’s been absolutely terrible down the stretch of the season.

The charge needs to go in all levels of basketball. Players are rewarded for flopping all over the place. Trash basketball.

I'm not backing off. I'd just like to be able to torch people like Holiday in my pick-up games.

They need Middleton vs Boston. But it did open up an opportunity for Allen. The spot three can be created by Giannis at will.

Should we presume Golden State to be the favorite to win the title?

A top 20 all-time player, another near lock for the HoF (Green), another guy with a solid shot for the Hall (Klay), plus one of the most electric young players in the league.

Add in one of the best coaches and they look like a champion.

Golden State is a contender but I wouldn't call them the favorite. They're a jump shooting team, so they tend to go in streaks. When everyone is on, they look great.

They could just as easily go cold in the next round. Even Curry and Thompson go through cold stretches. It's how they fell behind OKC 3-1 when GS won 73 games. It's also how they blew a 3-1 lead to the Cavs that same year.

Some of the takes after the Bucks lost Game 2 haven't aged very well.

Ben Simmons to miss his 2nd consecutive elimination game

Perhaps but no one expected the Bulls to win this series.

They wont get by the celtics without middleton,

Interesting that the Nuggets took out their MVP for the most important defensive possession of their season.

Smart, just like when all-time great coach Phil Jackson occasionally would take out Shaq because the coach didn't want his MVP to have to go to the FT line with the game on the line.

Nuggets got the stop with Jokic out. Then Malone put him back in and Jokic made the great pass for Bynum's clinching 3. Good coaching.

Jimmy is ballin again.

wadesworld · « **Reply #1514 on:** April 24, 2022, 07:54:00 PM »

Jokic’s advanced defensive numbers are actually really good this year. The Warriors are the worst matchup for him defensively.

Miami or Philadelphia?

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1516 on:** April 24, 2022, 08:41:36 PM »

36, 10, 4, 4, 1 and zero turns for JamesBuckets.

Jimmy totally took over that game. It was a very impressive performance by an all-time great Marquette NBAer.

Absolutely. And considering the performances of the rest of the Miami team it's even better than the pure stats.

I don’t know if Nash survives this.

4everwarriors · « **Reply #1520 on:** April 25, 2022, 08:28:47 PM »

No great loss if he doesn't. As a head coach, Nash makes a good point guard, aina?

Probably not. A lot of their issues wasn't his fault but I'm also not sold on him. Brooklyn frankly was smoke and mirrors despite Durant and Kyrie's talent.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1522 on:** April 25, 2022, 08:48:08 PM »

How in the world is Toronto up 11 in Philly late in the 3rd? VanVleet is out.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1523 on:** April 25, 2022, 10:30:00 PM »

Not exactly an impressive performance from Utah or Donavan Mitchell.

Not all his fault, but he was exposed against Boston.

On the other hand, as I have said here before, Kyrie ain't winning any titles. But then I also doubt KD ever wins a title as the lead dog.
