steph seems pretty banged up

Klay and steph not moving as sharp as normal for sure but that doesn’t excuse the bad 3 p shooting

Houston just makes them work so hard on defense too. Steph has to navigate through/around like 4-5 screens on every possession with them trying to get him switched onto harden

its really too bad the celtics didnt win cos having all series 2-2 woulda been sweet

feel like the Dubs are trying to execute the most grudging-ass championship in league history. this series will go 7 and they'll win the decider by 20. they'll drop the first two on the road in the Finals vs. Milwaukee and then reel off four straight.

ha possible def, perfect conclusion to the year of passive aggressive nba
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 17:20 (five years ago) link
I beg to differ. the perfect conclusion would be the blazers or nuggets taking the chip.

Who do you guys like in a Houston vs. Denver/Portland scenario?
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:13 (five years ago) link
I mean, predictions-wise.

houston should be a slight favorite vs both those teams i think
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:25 (five years ago) link
they’d be a huge favorite vs denver imo
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:26 (five years ago) link
i don't think the dubs aren't trying i just think they're thinned out and playing a good team
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:33 (five years ago) link
but i've said all season that i think they're going to lose in the finals to whoever wins the east so i think the tank will hit E eventually just not now...
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:34 (five years ago) link
i would not trust the sixers to be able to beat them
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:39 (five years ago) link
feel like Portland is just a less-good version of Houston -- ball-dominant guards, athletic wings who you hope can make an open 3 from time to time. they wouldn't be able to play Capela off the court so that's a bonus for the Rockets too. unless Harden flamed out I don't think Denver could handle them either -- Nugs just have a lot of B-/B guys and even Jokic isn't the kind of guy who can match the Beard point for point, and I don't think they're defensively sound enough to slow him down.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:42 (five years ago) link
i don't see how either team guards harden really
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:44 (five years ago) link
one reason why i like the esat teams this year is that i think the big 4 are pretty deep in the backcourt/wing... they all will have a lot of bodies to throw at the warriors guys and harden. you can't really say that for the blazers or nuggets
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:50 (five years ago) link
embiid and especially giannis cld cause big problems for both the rox/dubs too
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 18:55 (five years ago) link
they are both pretty much problems in general (at least when embiid is playing well he is)
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 20:02 (five years ago) link
big piece on The Ringer about Embiid made me realize he's 25, which isn't a shock when you really think about all the time he missed but if you'd just made me guess off the top of my head I would have probably put him at 23. what's really wild is that Giannis is younger than Joel.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Tuesday, 7 May 2019 20:10 (five years ago) link
i feel like i post a reminder that embiid is older than you think like once a month on here
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 21:20 (five years ago) link
this year people finally stopped talking about him as if he's a prospect tho

Except for playing to the home crowd, there's not much reason for the raptors to keep the starters in with a 32 point lead.

jokic has zbo like touch around the rim, so soft. just get it up around the rim and it drops in most the time.

If the blazer boat capsizes, we can always climb onto the nuggets' cruise ship and ride it a while. but there's hope, yet. even this game isn't out of reach, although obv the odds are stacked heavily for the nuggets right now.
― A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 8 May 2019 04:02 (five years ago) link
yeeeeeeeeeeah i think the blazers might’ve wanted to go ahead and win the quad OT game
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 8 May 2019 04:23 (five years ago) link
they did!
nuggets are the better team imo
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 8 May 2019 04:24 (five years ago) link
nuggs have done an admirable job of shutting down dame for large sections of every game and stotts hasn't really planned around that super well imo

good news tho is i got a cool damian lillard bobblehead today so in the end it's a wash
