The Poojer Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Not sure why Fultz or Holmes rode the pine in the second half last night, not sure either of them could have stopped Wade or the 3 point shooting, but Holmes could have gone after olynyk inside a bit to stop his rebounds and drives

I could say the Knicks as well but that shipped has basically sailed since 1975 (very sadly written here) The Raptors are mesmerized by LeBron , or basically any team that wants to actually try on a given night. Pacers couldn't have cared less he exists out there, Bucks went right at him with physical abuse their last regular season game. watching the Warriors totally dismantle the Spurs, even without Curry, makes me take everything in the East with ten grains of salt... Warriors look very tough... but not sure how good Spurs really are.

In all those years, they have never really been able to build a deep roster. I think LeBron is the best player in the game since Jordan (hot take, right?), but he isn't indefatigable. He has been suseptible to wearing out, when he doesn't have a strong supporting cast. I would probably never bet against him in the East, but he, and the Cavs, are beatable. Was never an excuse for Kobe..... (P.S. Jordan thinks Kobe is better)

It's hard for him to get minutes because of his issues with positioning and fundamentals. The Heat's strategy last night was also pretty much setup in a way that makes Fultz ineffective, as he currently still cannot shoot. The Heat were content to allow the Sixers to shoot the three last night. Edited April 18, 2018 by Fetou

Morris is a good influence on the younger guys. I don't want this ride to end. I'm not sure how they will hold up against a team that isn't soft like the Bucks. https://mobile.twitter.com/celtics/status/986432330553331713?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^tweet Edited April 18, 2018 by Commonsense
KD in CA Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 SF sports radio bending over backwards these days looking for reasons to be concerned about the Warriors. Yeah, ok....don't forget to wake everyone up for the finals.

Funny, watching the game last night, I was thinking the same thing. And then he goes and hits a 3 at the buzzer...he is your classic bench guy...he'll put up 18 points one night, in limited time, and then, when you really need him to come through, he will get you 5 points. I don't mind him for short stretches, but he was on the court a little too much for my liking... when he and Baynes are on the floor together, I get real nervous.

Eric Bledsoe is trash and has been getting his ass handed to him by Rozier AND Larkin. Then pretending last night he had no idea who Rozier is. Clown. Edited April 18, 2018 by YoloinOhio
row_33 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 hockey has to combine the East and West as well, 90% of the talent is in the West, it's not even the same game they are playing.

Game 1 Rozier crossed him up for that game winning three and Bledsoe just stood there and didn't even make an attempt at getting a hand up.

I admit, I haven't seen a ton of the Bucks play this year, but it is remarkable how bad they are around the net...the series ain't over yet...I fully expect this to go 6 or 7 games.

He might have but Rozier clearly said it mistakenly and corrected himself. But it just looked worse with Bledsoe’s reaction to the question given his weak performance guarding T Rozier 1

It was worse than I might have thought it would be, but I knew the Bucks would win toinight. They looked like a much better team at home...Celtics couldn't match their energy, especially early on.
