    This could be all true, but unless you think the return of Nurk will dramatically resurrect the defense, they will not be surprising anyone as the 29th ranked defense in the league.

    Miami was the 12th ranked defense in the league last season.

    the two times CJ and Nurkic have been healthy in the playoffs:

    Denver down 2 on a 4 on 1 fast break and they all stop at the 3 point line and missed LOL

    what seems to happen nightly in the NBA is the night your team doesn't play, you'll see a team, or two, they are in a race with lose games they shouldn't have. You'll say "allright, we gained half a game sitting idle". The next night, your team gets boat raced by a contender or loses to a team they shouldn't have. You'll say "what the fuck is wrong with these guys?"

    Portland won 6 in a row; by this time tomorrow night they could be losing their 4th in a row. So far this is a two-steps-forward-two-steps-back type of season

    Was Ingram oblivious that they were down 3?

    I think the craziest part was the Bucks having all 5 defenders focused on the 2 Pelicans' inside the 3pt line, despite a 3 pointer being the only thing they should've been worried about. And trying to take a charge was super risky too. Who gives a rip if Ingram get a layup with 2 seconds left.

    If we had won our last 3 games, we'd have the 2 seed now. Just wait til we get healthy!

    Those teams did not have the depth we have now. We've never had Nurkic AND Kanter in a playoff game. And CJ has upped him game greatly this season. And don't forget Game 7 vs Denver.

    Actually, 6 steps forward, 4 steps back if we lose to Lakers. Work on your math skills.

    That was brutal...why Murray picked up his dribble and why MPJ ran to the corner? Have to know time, situation and score. Where is the BBIQ?

    I blame Murray on that one. Why didn't he just drive hard to the rim

    Definitely! But just amazing to see 4 guys all go to the 3-point line and not a single person go to the basket.
