AROUND THE 2024 NBA PLAYOFFS: 2nd ROUND, MIN vs DEN, OKC vs DAL, BOS vs CLE, IND vs NY

Mavs did it, send Thunder fishing

both teams scrapped hard

 

Josh Haet, Alexander-Walker, Derrick Jones Jr. just players we threw away

 

Dallas -2 and PJ intentionally missed it… ouch

 

Kinda lame to end on free throws.

 

So is wife beater Jason Kidd a good coach?

 

Doncic gave Lively some props
"pretty amazing what D-Live has done for us in his rookie season"

 

among last year's draft class, Lively ranks 1st in FG%; 2nd in reb/game; 1st in winshares; 3rd in winshares/48; 5th in BPM. The downside is he only shot 50.6% from the FT line

 

Lively won a "played against men" award. Out of the 8 rookies in Portland, i would say Camara was the only player to consistantly achieve "not a normal rookie" status.

 

At this point Denver has shot the 3 ball worse, in the playoffs, than all the teams left @ 34%.
Dallas, Boston, Minn, Indy, NY, have all shot 37plus %.

 

Scoot just need to watch how McConnell play. He could be our TJ of the future

 

Save us Alec Burks is not working. Pacers up 15 at halftime.

 

I know some people love Brunson on this board, but I can't stand his game. He's a ball hog. I hate short ball hog point guards.

 

Three point shooting huge for indy.

 

Looks like 3 guard line up don’t work

 

Nesmith a good shooter.

 

Thibs is such an enthusiastic dude. Always spitting “oh come on man”

 

Reggie Miller is going to have a field day...

 

all 5 Pacer starters in double figures

 

they bleep out the swear words
