Around the NBA 2022 Playoffs: The Thread

Wow

 

Multi-time NBA champion. He can do whatever he wants.

If it was Game 7, sure it might be different.

Why does Draymond live rent free in so many peoples noggins? Lol

 

I'm sure that will make him forget about his 3 rings

 

Very interesting...
Just by reading one poster, I have learned that Steph Curry is trash...The Grizz "don't need Ja" and Jrue Holiday is better than Dame.
And I can't spell Nikola.
Wow.

 

You didn’t watch the game. Jrue hit the game tying 3 and the game winning block and steal. He is the only person 25 years to get a steal and block in the last 10 seconds of a playoff game. He was the difference in winning the championship last year. Giannis was back to back MVP but couldn’t win the title until Jrue got there. There’s more to winning than shooting.

 

After tonight’s game, they wouldn’t trade him for anybody.

 

They play better D too.

 

You’re learning.

 

I can’t believe Olshey didn’t trade Cj for jrue holiday

 

In this game they had a 14-point lead then forgot how to defend Milwaukee's 3-point shooters. At the end, for some reason, Marcus Smart became their go-to guy. I don't know what the hell he was thinking on the last possession where Jayson Tatum was completely open and waving his hand (Wesley Matthews had fallen twice and was on his face) while Smart continued to dribble right at Jrue Holiday.
I don't blame Smart. If he's that bad he should never have been put in that situation if you have two super stars Brown and Tatum.

 

Two of the threes were by Giannis. I don't think they forgot how to guard him. They want him to take those shots and Giannis delivered.

 

Jesus, he was singing and dancing. Not punching people in the face for fucks sake. Use some logic.

 

I didn’t say Jrue Holiday is a bad player. I said he’s not better than Middleton.

Your argument is essentially the same as, “Marcus Smart is better than Jaylen Brown (if JB were to get injured) because he plays defense and did something that hasn’t happened in 20 years. Ignore the fact that he can’t shoot!”

 

Unbelievable. You’re completely delusional if you actually think that.

 

This was my issue with Scalma(?) I think wanting to trade for Smart for defense.

The dude has some absolutely questionable offensive habits, starting with the fact that he doesn’t play within his own limits. He will shoot 10 3’s even though he’s a garbage shooter. And one of them might be at the end of the game. Dude is a defensive nightmare. But kinda reminds me of Tony Allen, but at least TA didn’t shoot a billion 3s or try and be Superman.

Also, that does seem like poor coaching but Ime has proved to be a solid coach.

 

The “Delusion” has been confirmed at this point.

 

sometimes it seems eric goes into full-on-hyper-insane-as-shit-troll-mode when his hot-takes would be over-the-top even if he was riding in the back of Ken Kesey's bus sniffing glue while sitting on a Maui-Wowie suppository

 

I just think he looked like an idiot. He can do whatever he wants, but not without criticism.
