2022-23 NBA Thread: “you’ll never let me down like the Heat did”, Miami fan says to giant pile of cocaine (2 Viewers)

Man, Klay just sucks. They may be able to win this game. Maybe even win the series if Curry goes nuclear with steady contribution from Wiggins, but they not winning another ring if Klay doesn't stop throwing a brick parade.

The Lakers gameplan is clearly just to let AD & Bron win it (22/40 fga's at half). They really need a 3rd guy to contribute cause they've been tough to beat when that's happened. Need to share the shots some more.
 
Wherever that "list" is, the one absent of Curry, is funny is all. No, one shot, nor series or season doesn't even come close to defining a player.

But that was straight filth to end the half, and nobody in the history of the game is a better shooter than this guy. Who turned Golden ****ing State, of all teams, into this? Boston? LA? Chicago? Sure, there's plenty of resources to build around.

I mean, you've got to be kidding me leaving him off the top 12 or whatever it is. Larry Bird (and others on that list) were never pulling off those kind of 3's, no matter how much you'd like to hold onto the good ol' days. No F'n way.

He literally does it all the time. And for how long now? What more does it take?
 
Ugh - AD left in a wheelchair and might be in concussion protocol, LeBron gimpy on his ankle, next game on Friday. It was fun while it lasted.

Lots of stray elbows and face hits tonight. Evidently Twitter was full of comments about the Warriors training for that degree of face punches all season. At least according to my teenage son.

Hope that AD is ok.
 
.I can argue Jimmy Butler as one of the all time great Heat post season players in team history
Ummm, he's probably top 10 all-time of the entire NBA post-season history.
I think you have to at least win a title to get there - not taking away anything from Butler, he definitely raises his play in the postseason.
Agree…..but damn….he is special in the post season.
Not arguing that at all.

Relax dude. I already said I need to relook at it.

No need to do what you did in the derby thread to this one.
 
I can't help myself, I'm going to rip on Boston some more.

It all started when they didn't finish off Atlanta in game 5. That screw up started the chain of events that led to where we are today. The Sixers got a couple more days to prepare and rest, which undoubtedly helped them win game 1, which Boston (again) took too lightly. Then the game 4 debacle. Missed Smart 3 to win in regulation and no TO and no shot at end of OT. Joe Mazzula looks in over his head. The Celtics were gift wrapped a Finals run and have kicked it.
 
Heat in 6
Philly in 6 (hate to say it)
Denver in 6

The last one? Really don't know now. I almost wanna say Dubs in 7. Curry seemed to grow his confidence back tonight. Wiggins and Dray needed those games. The only thing that gives me pause are Klay & Poole continuing to struggle. Poole not as big a deal off the bench, but Klay needs to do his Game 6 thing.

Between AD's head and Bron's ankle, if GS gets it back to the bay, it's going to be extremely difficult for LA, and Bron isn't 30 this time around.

The no TO thing is immensely overblown IMO. Everyone acting like taking a TO meant they'd automatically win.

I continue to go back to.....all Jaylen had to do was remember who the hell James Harden is and stay within 5 feet. JB's inarguably the reason the game was lost.

LOL, why don't you try relaxing? This isn't a frat house. I didn't even know/specify or quote you, I was simply stating my opinion. On a message board. Sorry if that offended you, truly. I love your takes.

I more than welcome a very civil discussion to anything I stated in the Derby thread. I maintain my positions. The only thing that's been claimed in there are completely embellished. Go read anything I said and I am more than willing to defend it. Nothing wrong. It's actually interesting, if you just take the time to actually read what transpired.

I did not make personal attacks, on the contrary, they came from opposing opinions. How is that constructive in any way? And again, show where I went off the rails. It's simply not true.
 
Is Jokic this era's Tim Duncan?
Depends on how many rings Jokic ends up winning. If Jokic wins a couple/few rings—then absolutely he’s in that conversation of being this era’s Tim Duncan (and consequently probably universally considered a top 15-20 player of all time). If Jokic ends his career without a ring—-I could see there being a lot of debate and ambiguity about where he gets historically ranked. I’d personally have a hard time putting him outside of the top 50 at this very moment in time.
No titles then he's this generations Malone.
 
Considering we are down arguably our second best player.
Heat fans really do overrate Herro. Poor Bam
I love Bam…..but Herro’s impact is also strong and I said Arguably…..If we lost Bam it would have been worse though.
We’re down Quickley who is every bit as good as Herro. Stop whining imo
Jesus….who is whining….now I know why I rarely post in the NBA thread.

Bonehead mentality in here.

See ya….enjoy the rest of the post season.

Making a commitment that if i am near this thread tonight, there will be no posts about refs, whether good or bad. I'll keep the emotional roller coaster the Sixers have taken me on since the Process began to an internal dialogue re: officiating and spare others with any mini rants/venting.

Honestly have no idea who wins this game tonight between Sixers and Celtics. Each game has been a story with-in itself, and both teams have been so up and down all series. That being said, Sixers have been pretty dominant for 7 of the last 8 quarters (game 4 OT excluded), so logic would suggest that the Sixers can remain locked in. And of course, as i type that all i can think about is all of the double digit leads pee'd away with Doc as the 76'ers head coach in the playoffs, so all betting will be in-game bets

Good luck tonight. Rooting for your team. My first b-ball obsession was the early 80s Sixers team with the Doctor, Moses, Mo Cheeks, Andrew Tony, Bobby Jones, etc.

thx. i only caught the tail end of those guys and hopped on near the Barkley rookie year. funny how that was fun back then, then they trade Barkley for peanuts and we have the 90's Sixers, headlined by my man, "the Real Shaq", Charles Shackleford. some dark days until Theo and AI came on
 
It is not a universal law of basketball that the natural distribution of FTs in a game should be 50/50, yet it's a playoff tradition for everyone from fans to coaches to whine about free throw disparities. Bottom-tier NBA discourse IMO.
worse then complaining that a 1st team all-NBA player really isn't good at all, he doesn't really care about winning and is really the 3rd banana on his own team?
