2018 NBA Playoffs Thread

itd be phenomenal. fym.

I don't think it would be that bad if he got 1-2 months of extra rest if he got knocked out early in playoffs that are nothing but a prelude to the inevitability of a 73-9 team with the second best player in the league stacked on top of it winning the championship. Then he could prepare himself for a somewhat realistic chance of winning a championship with the Sixers next season instead of wasting time with a supporting cast that doesn't have a single player who has scored 20 points in the playoffs in four games.

I’m sure Lebron is in good enough shape to play a lot of minutes. He has the best trainers and nutrionists, he will be ok.

It would be a damn shame if Ty Lue ran LeBron into the ground the way D'Antoni did Kobe smh

The Warriors?

The defending champions

I said more shooters overall as in quantity....Steph, Klay and KD are the best trio of shooters in the league but outside of that Nick Young is the only other dude on that team you need to worry about from three. That’s been hurting them bad while Steph has been out and you saw it with how they weren’t able to complete their usual comeback against the Spurs because of all the bricks everybody besides KD was putting up. JJ, Belinelli, Dario, Ilyasova and Covington you always need to be attached to behind the arc and Embiid is able to get hot from there sometimes too. Six of their top 7 rotation players are really good shooters and then you have Magic on steroids kicking out to them.

I have to get better sleep when I have early days at work. I literally fell asleep right when the Cavs game started and woke up to hearing Inside the NBA starting.

Instead of watching, I had a dream about the game. There were fights in the game, fans kept throwing pies from the crowd. Then at the end, I met Lebron. I asked him to sign something for me. He took off his winter coat and signed it. I said it might not fit me. So he put it back on and left. He took a picture with an old lady after that and gave her the coat.

Bruh I'm ******* dying

Lmao Klay is a better shooter than all of them and he’s the third best shooter on his team

Pacers blew a BIG chance yesterday.
This series is over now. Probably in 7.

 

[dacomeup]

Celtics, Warriors and Rockets for sure.

. "That's John Wall," center Marcin Gortat said. "I am glad he's healthy. He is spoon-feeding me. I am getting fat now. Listen, if he plays the right way, he is the best point guard in the league. If he looks for his teammates and looks for the open possession where he can attack, he is the best."

Gortat had to have a backhanded compliment.

oladipo largely to blame with his anti-hero ball. dude was CHUCKING the whole 4th quarter. you have to think, if he gave those shots to someone else.... they probably steal the W again. Now they gotta fight for their lives in Cleveland.

When talking about QUANTITY of shooters the Rockets are the only team I see that might have the Sixers beat

Buddy....I’ve said in three separate posts now that I’m talking about the total amount of shooters on each team. The Warriors currently have two and a half shooters on their active roster with Curry out and that **** is killing their spacing. Klay is also averaging only 4 more points per game than either of JJ or Belinelli in these playoffs while he’s expected to be the #2 option on the Warriors.

 

[B Sox]

The lineup that the Celts close games with- Rozier/Brown/Tatum/Morris/Horford, can shoot 3s better than what Philly would put out there.

my question is what happened to embiids 3. it looks like its regressed a good bit. and to be devils advocate... JJ has a great 3pt shot... but more than that, the **** is lethal. he pulls it up off the run and hits that often. And if they need a clutch bucket, you can pretty much count on him to get it. Id say hes a cut above the other "good" 3pt shooters. I dont think belinelli can sustain this output. every shot he takes looks SO wild. form is completely broken on every single shot. so i dunnooo im not sold on him



and as far as dudes main point about 76ers matching warriors firepower. with curry being out they discovered quinn cook who is NICE from out there. i cant agree man. warriors and rockets are just too much

So you aren’t talking about quality and now according to this post it seems the sixers don’t have the most quantity of shooters on a team neither. Get outta here Buc

 

[pums]

Man Philly’s starting point guard and back up point guard’s range only extend to the ft line. It would be hard to have the most amount of shooters if thats the case. I would hardly cal Embiid a shooter at this point.
