You could be right about that. I mean with Lowry and Derozan's history shooting in the playoffs what could possibly go wrong?
If only those two shooting poorly kept them from playing in 6 games in round 3 against the eventual NBA Champs. Pending a major injury to two or more Geko starters, the Bucks aint getting out of the first round.
Utah is a nicely assembled team. Mix of youth, veterans with championship experience (Hill and Diaw) and then Joe Johnson who doesn't look too far off from his Atlanta days right now.
He's fallen off but I wouldn't put him as the most overrated. I still think he would be a great fit at the 4 for us, just not for the $ he's going to command.
His post moves (well if you can call those things post move...) make me puke. I swear Meyers has better footwork...
I'd love for the Jazz to come out strong in the 4th and make this 2-0 heading back to Utah...F the Clippers!
Buck were a couple wide open shots away from being up 2-0. You underestimate the Bucks. Toronto got lucky tonight. Brodgon and Dellavedova had wide open threes that would've given them a lead in the last minute.
Does anyone even care about him anymore? He wasn't an All Star the last two years, his commercials have run their course, he's not really praised enough to be overrated. You wanna talk overrated? Try Harden, Westbrook, and Klay Thompson.
His loss of endorsements are likely more of a PR thing than a performance thing. There are plenty of star players in the league, they don't want to choose the one who's going around punching equipment managers and shit. Add to that the fact that he had been on the scene a while and it just makes sense to go in a different direction.
If you didn't know any better you'd think Glenn Rivers has been smoking since he was 5, but basketball fans know the real reason he sounds like that...
I don't think Griffin fits with Portland's roster at all. Hell I don't think he fits with the Clippers roster, said so a few times on this board over the years. For a long time people said Griffin was the next great big man. For awhile he was considered the best big in the NBA.(when it was clearly Aldridge) I just have never seen him as such, don't even think he has the potential to be on that level. I've always thought Griffin was overrated.
I don't underestimate the Bucks at all. I just know what the Geko's have done in the playoffs. They look like the exact same team that allowed the Pacers to force a game 7 after being up 3-2 They look like the exact same team that allowed the Heat(without Whiteside) to force a game 7 after being up 3-2. This is what the Geko's do in the playoffs. Under perform but find a way to win the series. Largely due to having one of the best at making adjustments leading them in Casey. Guy doesn't get enough credit for how good he is at putting his team in a position to win. Lowry/Derozan play like shit, but Geko's still force the Cavs to play 6 games? Casey deserves so much credit. I might be wrong, the Geko's might choke and not do the same thing as last year. I'm sure if I'm wrong you'll go crazy for a month or two about "how you were right and how I said the bucks suck". - signed honkicracker. As that, along with being an extreme homer is your posting-mo. lol This comment is such a Portland comment. I like it.
The Jazz have such little firepower, that when Heyward or Johnson are cold, they have a real problem finding enough points to hang even with their excellent defense.
