Game Thread NBA Playoffs Thread - 2023 Eastern & Western Conference Finals!

I think he was referring to Stockton playing 82 games in most all his old age seasons instead of James constant injuries or rest.

James played 4 extra years out of high school while Stockton was in college, of course he played more total games. Also NBA had 5 game playoffs back then. If you looked at regular season only from age 22 on games played would be interesting.

 

Well that isn't what he said?
Also your comment was about minutes played. So Not sure how playing more years doesn't just make the case stronger?
LeBron just played 40 more minutes yesterday.

 

6 more wins until Cody Zeller gets his ring

 

Well that's how I understood it.

Yeah he kind of went off a tangent from my playoff minute post.

 

I’m just having a really hard time believing that Brown is worth almost $300 million.

 

I was thinking the same during the game. He didn't look much different than a healthy Nassir Little. Yes, I am exaggerating....but not by much.

 

He's probably playing to not get injured and lose out on that contract.

Edit: I know it's the conference finals but that's still a lot of money to lose out on if you get hurt.

 

Plus if the Blazers want to acquire him they lose Ant at 25million and potential younger superstar on cheap rookie contract.

Seems like depth is mattering much more in playoffs the last few years than it used to.

 

Healthy Sabas would have run circles around Jokic. He had the length, physicality and athleticism to really bother Jokic and Jokic couldn't hope to guard Sabas.

It would be fun, but I have no doubt a healthy Sabas would win the matchup.

 

I would rather have Eric Spoelstra than any other coach in the league.

Come home to Portland Spo.

 

I don't think we should trade Dame for Brown and I don't think we should add Brown to Dame.

 

How the fcuk is a team of undrafted players playing in the ECF?

 

Incredible. Jimmy Butler is flat out getting it done.

Spoelstra has built and trained the help Jimmy needs.

 

Time to dust off the conspiracy theory

 

Because the "team of undrafted" players has two stars as well, who both play great defense

 

he's been in Miami as an executive/coach for 28 years. I'd assume South Beach is more home than Portland. But yeah, he's definitely a top coach in the NBA

 

I did not realize he is married to a former Miami Heat cheerleader. He has done well for himself.

 

so has she considering Spoelstra is making more than 8M a year

too cynical?

 

Don't crush my dreams Bro
