2024 Playoffs Discussion Thread

[HangTime]

Imagine if the Mavs were willing to keep Brunson at half his contract value.

Luka has been surprisingly mid in the playoffs so far. Easily his worst series yet.

good win by the knicks

Great, gritty, gutty win. In the face of adversity from injuries, the refs and a strong opponent. Brunson a legendary performance as others said. OG 47 minutes, 16 pts 14 boards. And guarded Embiid most of the quarter. There's a game you see the value of OG if you know anything about basketball. Precious was great too, in his 2nd quarter stint and again after Hartenstein went out in the late 3rd. Great defense at the highest level in the crucible of playoff pressure.

I was out the first hour so I recorded it and watched it live, scrolling thru ads, avoiding the board. Read the thread now and glad to see the OG doubters and those who sneer at Precious, have nothing to say.

IQ> maxey

Interesting discussion. Maxey was targeted today on defense. Iq is a better defensive player but a worse offensive player

I can see IQ improving his offensive skills on par with maxey

Nurse continued to run his starters to the ground. Embiid playing the whole 2nd half is crazy. Guy went 0/5 in 4th. It ain't like they don't have competent backup. His mortal weakness is not empowering his bench.

Inexcusable decision by Nurse. Really dumb. They were even saying on the broadcast Embiid had no gas left.

Haha loser embiid

Maxey's speed sets him apart. IQ is not slow obviously but not as fast as Maxey

[WaltFrazier]

More dirty play, this time it backfired.

To be fair, you expect your stars to play big minutes in the POs and he has no bench (or maybe the Nurse critics were right and he’s the reason why his bench always sucks).

But not being able to find 2 mins in the 4th for Embiid to rest is pretty inexcusable.

Man I can’t wait to be back in the playoffs

Don’t even care for the Knicks in particular but I’m rooting for any team facing Embiid and Philly.

Should be interesting who they throw a bag at this summer. They will try with OG and SIakam but both are staying put. PG13, by all accounts, wants to stay in California.

[SnotoriousBIG]

Some big time shot making by the Mavs and Clips... Jeez

[MiamiSPX]

Kyrie has some serious cojones. He's amazing to watch, too bad about all the baggage (which did not rear its head this season).

[WaltFrazier]

Harden really good down the stretch with floaters

[MiamiSPX]

James Harden icing this game has to be the cherry on top of what was an awful day for Daryl Morey. Clown.
