GO, HAWKS! Nate McMillan is the real Coach of the Year.
Trae is legit star. Assassin mentality without fear. Complete opposite ben simmons. Love him. Wait till he builds some muscle. Regardless bucks in 4.
I would seriously considet trade ky for Simmons though. Let him do grunt work for harden and kd with no pressure to score
Just hoping kd so pissed at early exit that he sits ky down and tellls him to straighten up and 100% ball next yr. Nets big 3 was kd plan and will hurt his legacy if no ring
Agree with everything except the sweep part. I don't think any of the 4 remaining teams is dominant enough to sweep anybody at the moment.
I never understood basketball players with talent who couldn't shoot or have below average shooting (ex. Rondo). I mean.. if you're practicing/training alone... what are you doing? How do you open up the Defense if you have no shooting threat? Playoffs will expose your weaknesses. It's where you separate the men from the boys.
Believe it or not in practice a lot of these guys CAN shoot, but practice is not the real world… I mean take ray Allen, he will likely make 800-900 shots out of 1k in practice but was a 45% EXCELLENT shooter. That being said ben Simmons and Kenyon Martin I’m his time are some of the most horrible shooters I ever seen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why pick on Kenyon of all people? He wasn't noticeably bad for nets then became a decent shooter late in career.
As I said earlier, teams have figured out all they have to do is MAKE the playoffs, where you are seeded makes NO difference anymore. This is where 'load management' will take over from here on out, you will see a LOT more teams resting players, even non 'star' players - so they perform better in the playoffs.
When I look at Phoenix; I feel like I’m looking at the nba champion. I like how the clips made it interesting, same happened in the Utah series; they really should have won one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
WTF did I just witness??? I’m so disgusted. Clippers deserve to lose that one. Believe it or not, I knew George Paul was gonna miss both free throws and I knew an alley oop dunk was coming.
All came down to his free throws;( Hawks and bucks don’t play as well as those 2 teams Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Too many reviews...really killed the fun of the game imo. They got the calls right at least, but they need a "clock" on the refs and NY when reviewing...
I think they made a big mistake calling the out of bounce knock by Pat Bev on Booker. Jeff Van Gundy is right. Most of the time, the ball knocked out of someone’s hand is gonna slide through the person’s hand. This is going to set a bad precedent, especially if we’re reviewing plays like this the last 2 min.
Clips probably would have won had that review not overturned the initial call. I get what Van Gundy is saying, but if the rule is the last one that touched it loses the possession then it has to be enforced. I don't see that review ever happening again unless under 2 minutes in a close game so I don't see this becoming commonplace. If they start reviewing that at the end of each game they need to dump the review system. That final 2 minutes took like 20 real time. They wasted 3 minutes in getting the Clips 5 players correct for the final 0.7s. A complete joke and mismanagement.
I'm actually not certain now what the rule is. Last one to touch the ball or last thing that caused ball to deflect? I can already see all the arguing over these calls playing streetball. In general, if you hit the ball out, it's accepted it is out of bounds on the person who knocked it out unless the ball continued on to deflect off the other person's body. If sliding off the hands is accepted as "last touch" there's gonna be a heck of a more more arguing during streetball matches .
Trae Young is going off right now...had all day to take a 3 and got squared up and shaking his shoulders loose before he hit the 3 perfectly...
The 2 best freaks right now are Atlanta and Phoenix. That will be the finals I think. They should just say Kawhi is out period. At this stage it’s unlikely he comes back at all. We saw what happened to KD when he rushed back. ATL was the best team in the East post nate McMillan hire. I personally think order gets restored next year and none of those finalist will make it again. Phoenix has a good team and coach but cp3 will be 37, the warriors will have steph, klay,dray,Wiggins,wiseman,7th and 14th pick to make a run at it. Queen James will I’m sure find a buddy to team up with on his obsession to try to be MJ…. Atlanta could still be in the mix with their baby Steph curry trae young but I’m not too sure yet… I think bkn will be back with a vengeance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
