Around the NBA (and other Sports), 2023-24, Part 3

I’ve been thinking we’d sweep Orlando, and beat Cleveland in 5. But the 4 games against Orlando would probably be more physical than 5 against the Cavs. I think we’d be able to score fine on them though, I don’t think they’re ready to be defending Tatum and company in the playoffs lol.

Cavs would probably have Mook Morris on Tatum. Talk about unfair

Magic, on the other hand, will give that task to Jonathan Isaac. I don’t think JT will like it. Let’s go Cavs!

Isaac will be unplayable on the other end of the court against the Celtics. He’d foul out of every game anyways, length is cool and all, but he’s not strong enough to defend Tatum in the playoffs.

Cavs/Magic going 7 is huge.

I'm pulling for the clippers to get this to a seventh game.. Pulling the for Clippers is like going to the dentist for a root canal.

I don't ever want to hear that a coach that wins The n b a championship means he is a good coach..Ty Lue is a joke..

You're on a different root.

[Fierce1]

Looks like Clips are about to be clipped.

The simple act of just playing russell west brick alone should be a firable offence.. They are literally way off of him daring him to shoot while his man clogs up all of his teammates.. You can use statistics auto I test.He is a disaster.. How does Ty Lue not see that???

Shooting is in the eye of the beholder.

1 ring does not make a coach great.

Calling a lot of timeouts is the mark of a great coach.

The no-joke teams keep dropping like flies.

Nice D by Luka over harden there

Still honestly up to your best player. The generational superstar makes the coach imo. Coach is essentially a babysitter. If they can manage the egos and have a good staff behind them, they can win a title with said superstar.

Pop hasn't won without Duncan. Spo without Lebron. Phil without Kobe/MJ. Kerr TBD w/o Curry. Then there's the one-hit wonders in Doc (KG), Carlisle (Dirk), Lue (Bron), Nurse (Kawhi), Bud (Giannis).

Kyrie’s been unreal this series

Kyrie’s been unreal this series

I have to admit, since his BS has stopped and he makes effort on D, I’ve been enjoying watching him again.

[Memokerobi]

Don't really wanna deal with Mitchell's BS. Our guards do worse against shifty, smaller guards. And we tend to use drop against them. These guys could go off.

On the other hand, Magic length is more annoying to score on.

I prefer the Magic because I want the Cs to get reps against a great defense. And the Magic are ideal because while their defense is elite, their offense is horrendous so I don’t think they would be a real threat to send the Celtics home

[zoyathedestroya]

Active NBA players who’s won an MVP but still without a title: Embiid, Rose, Westbrook, Harden

If Mavs close out, it’s another year where those MVPs don’t win a title.

If the Clippers are eliminated, Jokic would be the only former MVP or Finals MVP still playing in the postseason. Then if the Nuggets don't make the Finals, it would the first time since 2009 that both Finals teams don't have a former MVP.

Jokic is the last former MVP standing.

Tatum has an opening here. Changing of the guard. Passing of the torch. Ascension to the throne.

Lucky you, if I could ignore myself I would.

[Fierce1]

Have to give credit where credit is due.

Kyrie's been playing well since he behaved.
