NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

If Spike Lee sat next to me at a game I would knock him the **** out, what a clown.

I’d love it. I’d give him the Reggie Miller choke look the entire game.

Brunson makes that floater 90% of the time, HUGE break.

These refs need to RUN fast.

Ant just shoving Lebron. This series is great.

 

[Clonehomer]

I how Edward’s is OK. Looked bad and this series was heating up.

Lakers have to figure out a way to get Bronnie minutes.

That overhead camera for the out of bounds overturn as a LeBron foul was incredible.

 

[JP4CY]

Hell yeah T Wolves!

2 games done, 2 to go. The quadruple header today could be legendary. Both of the first two were such high level of basketball.

JJ blew that game with the slow it down and chuck 3s offense in the fourth quarter.

And not giving his guys any breathers. It wasn't a fluke they were terrible in the last 5 minutes.

We might be seeing the last dagger in Lebron's career. That was the best shot LA could give them, really stings for the Lakers. Lebron played great but he looked winded. Missed an open shot, lazy pass for a turnover and the foul late on Edwards all in the last minute or so.

I think the rest was a bigger deal than the offense. JJ doesn’t trust anyone beyond the starting 5 to even eat minutes. That’s a problem. I’m not even sure it’s a problem with the team as much as JJ’s trust.

So assume Pistons were out of challenges?

They were

Yikes.

 

[heitclone]

Pistons were right there in two of their losses, they just aren't quite at this level yet.

Do you see the roster construction of this Lakers team? It’s absolutely a problem with the team lol. They have zero playable bigs Vanderbilt and Goodwin are barely playable in the postseason and offer no offense/floor spacing. Vincent maybe could pick up more minutes, but that really makes it only 6 guys that can play at a postseason level.

It’s been a bad roster construction the whole year, but the Luka trade made it so that they had a chance given that star pairing. They tried to fix some of that with the abandoned Williams trade.

Wouldn't have guessed Porzingas is still in his 20s.
