Need to stagger the series’s. 3 of the 4 today will be duds (OKC vs Memphis, Cleveland vs Miami, and Boston vs Orlando). No need to have those 3 on the same day when the other 5 series should be pretty exciting
I think what everyone was worried about with Houston showed last night. Lack of shooting and inexperience. I think they're year away but like their young core.
I don’t know what it takes to get called for a foul in this NY vs Det game. I think you could punch someone in the face and it’ll be a play on at this point.
If Detroit can hold on this could he a slug fest of a series.
Brunson gets away with so many fouls on the defensive end and then whines, cries, acts, hooks defenders on the offensive end so much for less hard fouls. I hate watching him play.
Happy for the Pistons. Did not realize they had the longest losing streak in nba playoffs history until tonight. They were my favorite team growing up, with Grant Hill, Jerry Stackhouse, Lindsay Hunter, and Joe Dumars. Then the youth movement and focus on tough d and rebounding teams with Rip Hamilton and Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace etc. Went toe to toe and beat the LA Monstar Lakers in the finals. Then they went on a tails pin really until this season and I haven't really paid attention to them in years. Might have to start again.
Even though he had a triple double, that was about the roughest I've seen from Joker this year. Zubac is a better player than most for bothering him around the basket and wearing him out a little.
I'm not sure how overrated would be defined. If it's based on salary, they may have a point. He's either at the bottom of A list stars in the league, or the top of the B list.
Even among guys who sign max deals he’s in the middle. Hes definitely not a max deal bust and we have some of those. When healthy he basically gets you a top 3 offense and is the best pure point guard in the sport.
Is he doing more for Indy than Michael Porter Jr is doing for Denver? Yeah, MPJ isn’t good enough to be thought of for a list like this, this is generally a list of really good players or players just a couple years past prime like Butler and Gobert.
