2023-24 NBA (Playoffs!) Thread: Mavs - Boston it is (7 Viewers)

[msudaisy26]

The Pistons, Spurs and Wizards are 1 - 54 in their last 55. The one win is the Wizards vs the Pistons.

 

[General Malaise]

I hope he’s gone for the year. Playoffs included. The act is tired. The players association needs to protect the other players in the league.

The fact that Miles Bridges is playing basketball at all tells me all I need to know about the value the association places on the protection of others.

Bulls go into Miami and win.

Coby White's playing at an All Star level right now. Bulls so much more fun to watch w/o Zach Iso-vine. Ball movement and defense Big game for Ayo tonight

Bulls 5-2 since Lavine was erased from the lineup.

Suddenly Coby has the highest trade value on the team.

I fully understand that Alex Caruso's drive and tenacity is what makes him an outstanding player, but I fear his career will not have much longevity if he keeps playing with such recklessness.

6' 5"/185 and taking charges from from frontcourt players, trying to box-out Zion and Jokic, and doing headfirst dives half a dozen times per game is eventually going to catch up to him.

To touch on the Draymond Green thing one more time, Nick Wright makes a great point here when talking to Dan Patrick (starts at 1:29):

Update, por favor.

 

[Mister CIA]

It feels like the young players on the Lakers hung out with the young players on the Spurs for a day or two.

 

[Mister CIA]

And good job, young man.

Devin Vassell 36 points.

 

[Frostillicus]

Nice win for your guys. Jumped out to a big lead early and never let the Lakers get back into it, even when they got close.

 

[Capella]

Spurs had 3 wins on the season, I bet the lakers tonight and blammo.

If I may be controversial, I'm a Kendrick Perkins fan.

I don't think that is a controversial take because it is so wrong that I can't see the controversy.

I don't think that is a controversial take because it is so wrong that I can't see the controversy.

From what I have seen, Perkins appears to be a nice guy, and he is also one of the worst sports analysts I've ever heard. I know the bar is low nowadays, but it's painful listening to him talk.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

The Pistons, Spurs and Wizards are 1 - 54 in their last 55. The one win is the Wizards vs the Pistons.

The second win is the wizards beating the pacers

Yeah, he's the Booger McFarland of the NBA.

Spurs end the dream, but they were always a longshot with a back-to-back against Portland coming up.

But Detroit remains very much alive. 6 games away from history, 7 games from being alone in first place. Best chance at a win is in 3 games at home vs Utah. Jazz dealing with a number of injuries, will Markkanen play in that game?

 

[msudaisy26]

The Pistons, Spurs and Wizards are 1 - 54 in their last 55. The one win is the Wizards vs the Pistons.

Update, por favor.

The Wizards and Spurs both won and now have a commanding 2 game lead on Detroit with only about 53 games left. The lead appears to be safe.

They could win in Atlanta. Hawks can have games where they seem to not give a ****.

Every time I try to listen to Perkins I wonder how he ever got even close to be a TV analyst. I thought he was just a last minute fill in because they could not find anyone else.

He's a sweaty bad take machine. Seems like ESPN's type.

Wow the suns are terrible. I went to bed and they were up 5. Lost by 17 and Beal dead again.

I saw the clip of Perkins saying Kerr deserves some blame for Draymond acting like an out of control toddler and I agreed.

I disagree. Players run the league, have more security, and make more money than coaches. I bet Kerr has said something to Green before.

Kerr has had the juice in that organization to discipline Green if he had been so inclined. Everyone in the Warriors orbit (including local and national media) has been enabling him for years.

So everyone is to blame for Green except Green?

I think that all he was trying to say was that Kerr has enabled draymonds behavior to some extent, at least based on what we know publicly. That is way different than saying that green deserves no blame.

pistons might end up having the worst Detroit Sports season ever

2008 Lions 0-16
2003 Tigers 43-119

@Leeroy Jenkins must be happier than a pig in **** for this game…

Having games where Embiid doesn’t need to play in the 4th is huge. Amazing what good coaching and players buying in can do.

Maybe he can do a Draymond impression with Batum
