chic2pimp: Celtics need Porzingis to have a chance against the Mavericks IMHO |

Why is it so hard for people to agree that the Luka/ Kyrie combo is the most talented backcourt in terms of just 1v1 shot making that has ever played. Yes there have been other great/elite backcourts, but if the criteria is just on shot making I cannot think of a backcourt that is better than this duo when they are on. 1 Like |

Roland17: To be fair Finch wasn't fully coaching the Nuggets series. For the Timberwolves they got the defense sorted, now they just need to work on that offense, some of the improvements will just be because of the natural progression/improvement of Antman, but they need a counter when teams force Edward's to give up the ball, KAT jacking up 3s especially when it's not falling will not cut it. |

A40: I really hope the Lively injury is not too serious and he can suit up for Game 4and the finals if they get there. |

Looking at the Powell minutes after lively went down is why I will never judge a player on wins/losses. This Powell was the starting center, playing huge minutes all those Mavs vs Clippers series when Kristaps went down with injuries. I tell you how is any supposed to win a game let alone a series with that guy as your starting center and with no 2nd star 1 Like |

A40: Powell is not a playoff rotation player.at all. He his one of those players who you give a roster spot because of the 82 game regular season schedule. Giving him playoffs minutes especially since his Achilles injury is just a disaster waiting to happen |

Home court advantage really exists for role players. Pj Washington and Derrick Jones Jnr are already combined for 17pts with over 4 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. |

BlueMann: The Pacers had a good run. If not for injuries they shouldn't have even won their first round series. 1 Like |

A40: Jrue with another elite level defensive stop |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 3:39am On May 26 |
The pacers spend too much time on offense forgetting that they have Siakam. They should have run at least 3 plays for him since the beginning of the 4th |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 3:30am On May 26 |
A40: That guys play is somehow weird. He is unbelievably athletic one minute, and the next minute, he looks like the stereotype of uncoordinated tall people |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 3:08am On May 26 |
Who Celtics vex? Siakam, Turner and Nembhard between the 3 of them made 24 of 34 shots . The whole team shooting 60+% from the field chai |

My final imput on the Gobert slander is there have been 2 other players who have won 4DPOY. ONE IS mutombo and this is what Shaq average on him in the finals 33 PPG - 57 FG% - 15.8 RPG - 4.8 APG - 3.4 BPG - 28 Pts, 20 Rebs, 9 Asts, 8 Blks in GM2. The second is Ben Wallace and for some reason people want to forget how much of a liability he was when he was with the Bulls, Raptors and Cavaliers |

A40: Draymond consistently gets cooked if he his put on an island with guards and he his barely 6ft9. |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 9:13pm On May 25 |
etidy: Have you also not noticed that it is only non-Americans that the press tend to shit on like this. All the other multiple DPOY that you talk about all played at a time when coaches for some reason never took advantage of the fact that switching a big onto a great wing was a miss match in favor of the wing. As for D Howard in the bubble he was a linchpin against Denver but when it got the finals against Miami who play small, they played him less minutes. Gobert is the only 7+ ft that his coaches, no matter the match up, consistently put him out there. That alone should tell us how impactful he his to their defense. But come Monday, some narrative idiots will pick one play and start talking about how he is not a great defender because Luka scored the winner on him 1 Like |

greypencils: But that will mean Gobert, Reid and KAT. with all the speed the Mavericks have, I fear that would just present other problems. |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 2:24pm On May 25 |
afrodoc2: This thing of him knocking down 4ft shots just shows shallow analysis. We all know the profile of Gobert, the Timberwolves traded a haul of picks with full knowledge of what they were getting. Blaming Gobert for not making shots is like Blaming the driver of a stock car for losing a track race to a to formula 1 car. Nobody ever blamed Mutombo for not making shots when the sixers lost 4 straight games in the finals, nobody blamed Rodman for not making shots when the Spurs got beat by the Rockets or even when the Pistons lost to the Bulls, nobody blamed Ben Wallace for not making shots when the Pistons lost to the Spurs. When gsw lost to the Raptors nobody blamed Draymond for not scoring 20. But somehow, when it comes to Gobert, the equation changes, and we expect him to do what he was never meant to do. If Gobert was beat at the rim, or failed to secure the rebound that led to this loss, then yes, massacre him all you want but Blaming him for not scoring, that's not what he his there for. 3 Likes |

greypencils: Sit Gobert or macdaniels? Oga the Timberwolves are winning when Gobert Is on the floor its when he his off the floor that's when they are getting torched on defence. So your great idea is to sit the guy who is the main reason they are getting stops and keeping leads, why? because he got beat by one of the greatest 1v1 player that has ever lived, on one occasion. That's great analysis right there /s/ 2 Likes |

A40: It's not really over rating his defense it's about bad match-up. Against Denver he was playing Jamal who is his size and less athletic so it was perfect. Against the Mavericks he has on one side Luka who is bigger and way stronger than him on one hand and Kyrie whose speed and quickness is usually overlooked because of his legendary handles. 1 Like 1 Share |

Roland17: That's the thing about modern basketball that I particularly love. The coach had to make a decision, live with Gobert being switched unto either Kyrie/ Luka or pull Gobert like you all have suggested and put your best rim protector on the bench. Personally I would have chosen the later because even if they get an easier look at the rim and make it, the game at that point is still tied. Gobert like I said earlier did the best he could 1 Like |
