OFFICIAL 2020 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - DISNEY COVID INVITATIONAL EDITION - MAMBA FOREVER - LAKERS WIN THE RONA RAND - ALA FOREVER

[Scarborough]

Whos guarding AD?

can only hope to contain him still, i dont how those other C's are gonna feel trying to defend
the 3pt line tho

 

[MajinZuub]

Rockets in 6

How did AD perform the last time the Lakers played the 6 feet and under rockets?

Accepting any pro-Rockets bets

 

[DCAllAfrican]

SGA was a deer in headlights wow

Fair assessment. That is expected though. He will learn from it and hopefully grow.

 

[reconic supreme]

Lakers in 5...but I can see it going it to 6.

This HOU offense has straight-up not been good in the bubble, I think some analysts love their style against LA but I think judging from that OKC series they are far from what people want them to be on paper.

It's funny. all the stories you hear about Steven Adams being this tough New Zealander who herds cattle and is this super strong, rough and tumble dude is incomplete contradiction to how he plays. He plays soft, has stone hands and plays like a days ago. How is he declining in his mid-twenties, when he should be getting better? Did he get paid and then got lazy?

Got paid on all those aforementioned stories about being rough and tough but it's an illusion. He ain't getting any better, this is his peak.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

lob not needed there bro on baseline one

How would he deliver the pass? Over the top right?

Ad much more mobile than adams family

Situation matters.

It isn't as black and white as, "i fully expect a starting nba guard to make that pass."

Do you really want to go with THAT as your first option. Steve Adams shooting a contested shot in the paint for a game winner?

Who even says he gets the shot off?

see this is where we will disagree. i don't think it would be a contested shot. i fully believe if his pass leads him to the basket, it would be a dunk/lay up or a hard foul or both.

 

[antidope]

Can’t make this up

Gotta investigate this

How does Steven Adams play soft?

He isn't offensively aggressive but that isn't the only way to show toughness on the court.

Soft isn't he.

 

[reconic supreme]

HOU fans gonna see what that AD elbow jumper all about

Cool.

We are arguing a hypothetical.

We both are right and wrong.

 

[HOU$TON]

HOU$TON hope you ready for this slaughter *****

Tell your king don’t come with this goofy *** defense again

Gone catch another 50 piece

 

[abubakr shaheed]

 

[DCAllAfrican]

So yea, how should he make that pass.

Over the top right?

 

[tay1]

PJ gonna be stressed every game playing the Lakers

Rockets in 6

This is actually trending on Twitter.......

WTH is wrong with y’all?

How many plays they running for Adams throughout the game? In high pressure situation they're looking for the key guys. If Adams was a 'go to' guy during the game, he'd get the pass. Can't blame SGA for this.

 

[rrlegend]

After this series Steven Adams needs to just go ahead and film aqua man 2

My guy is ready for this. Threads gonna be a disaster

 

[lawdog1]

So, for the record, the game winner was PJ Tucker’s pull up 2 after getting run off the 3 point line?

 

[j rain]

Steven Adams deserves some slander. He was a tree out there.

Soft isn't he.

I take that back, he sets level screens

Yea but that makes sense.
