You're really banking on Simmons who has not played any basketball in almost 11 months

I am not oh but many BKN fans are so I am quoting them.

Kyrie is just feeling what it feels like to play a game every 2-3 days, especially during Ramadan. He has never been known for his tremendous stamina anyways, add that to the incredible defensive plays by the Celtics, his performance IMHO was predictable

You are spot on.

The worst mistake the Nets will make is to leave Tatum or Brown 1v1 against Simmons on his return, both of them will cook him.
Nobody returns after not playing for 11months in game shape, so if they are thinking of playing him, it will have to be in the same mode as what Claxton is already doing for them.
The whole Simmons business and Brooklyn as a whole just chose distractions all season long. I am trusting Boston to put them out their misery

Hard luck for the Raptors..

The Bulls are stopping the Bucks from playing fast and on offense, they are pretty much running an half court offense, the difference this time in comparison to game 1 is that they are moving the ball. The Bucks look indifferent and over reliant on Giannis.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:16am On Apr 21, 2022
I just read Jay Wright, perhaps my favorite college basketball coach announced his retirement from coaching. Man, college basketball is going to look very different as these experienced heads call time.

I just hope it is not what I am thinking. Don't pick that call if Jeannie Buss calls, they will ruin your integrity and legacy angry

Be like the Bucks are tryna lose this game on purpose, cos I don't understand
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:29am On Apr 21, 2022
The Bulls need to keep moving the ball and not revert to ISOs

For me I want to see how the refs will call game 3. Will they call it like game 1 and the 1st half of game 2 or will they call it like the 2nd half of game 2.

The Celtics can't be as aggressive definitely in Brooklyn

DeMar smoked the Bucks on offense while the "Bald Mamba" smoked them on defense.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:27am On Apr 21, 2022
The Bulls have tied the series..

The Bucks are lacking something, not sure if it is the Bulls killing the excitement by slowing the game but they look indifferent and uninterested.

Honestly, they've been so complacent in game 1and 2. They're not playing with that fire and zeal that had last season.. Hopefully they get back on track and close this series else, bulls go knock dem out cos momentum dey definitely on their side now. Only Giannis and say Brook showing how bad they want this....

OK now we change our mind, he can't have 3 bad games. And by the way the refs didn't call enough fouls. grin grin

Of course he was not entirely faultless but this is a veteran veteran team. They should have been able to police themselves

Those players quit on themselves. Remember when Fizdale stepped in, they were still losing

There was a lack of accountability from top to bottom. People were scared to get in each other's face instead passing subliminals to each other via the media

It's tough to do anything with that collection of players

Veterans-superstars-role players-coach fit matters. That's the lesson.

I remember D.Wade and Lebron discussing how they settled for Bosh in forming the Miami big 3. They said they chose him specifically because they knew he was so cool headed and drama free and would complement them well.

Derozan's entire legacy and rep was on the line if he didn't show up big in this play off. Last game, he was just bricking everything. Glad he found his mojo.

Bruhhh it was wild...this brudda was going up against Giannis like it was nothing.

But I'm pretty sure the Bucks will make some kind of adjustment on him.

Zach Lavine is gonna need to have his own iconic playoff performance soon.

Whenever Vucevic goes to the bench and thompson comes on. Almost like they don’t have anyone to grab rebounds

The Bucks had more rebounds and more blocks by the way

Vogel was not faultless. The report is that Vogel's flaws showed up once this team came together. There were reports of him saying A and some people insisting on C.

An early example was, Vogel wanted to implement a policy of whoever rebounds the ball should bring the ball up the floor, but Russ insisted it was his job and would not budge no matter what and eventually had his way.

He could not handle the egos of the multiple galacticos. Cracks developed, feelings festered and he lost the authority and the dressing room not too long after.

When did this happen? If so, then its worse than I thought
