I knew Boston was sus when my Hawks got 2 games against them in round 1.

This sickening Jayson Tatum shot chart really does exemplify the "Modern NBA"...where nobody got a mid range game except for like 10 players including HIMmy Butler.

Tall James Harden

Super surprising that of the teams left, the team that seems to have the most "championship mettle" is...

The Miami heat!?

Imo

 

[WASHED KING]

You mean like Kawhi did in the 4th quarter against Denver in 2020? Dawg Kawhi's 1st team all fraudulent.

He ain did **** since joining the Clippers but be on Billboards and commercials with Jack Harlow. Would've never gotten that ring in Toronto if KD doesn't go down, and was a role player for his ring in SA.

Him and Jimmy same tier if not Jimmy being better.

Like I said….

Jimmy is who y’all think Kawhi is

Are you still sure about this? Why can't Jimmy be mentioned with Kawhi?

Start Jimmy bench Tatum cut Booker.

Y’all know it’s true.

Tatum over Jimmy? Ha

that's my fundamental problem with Tatum, if that pull up 3 isn't falling.
in really difficult moments, I'm not sure he has it as a half court creator.

One of my favorite things about Jokic is if he has a physical advantage he keeps it simple.
he just crushes you if you are too small to guard him.

he only goes into the bag for tougher defenders.


guys like Tatum, Embiid, especially inside the are wanna reverse pivot, 58 dribble crossover inside the arc.
all that Drew Hanland nonsense.

Kawhi, Jimmy Butler for example just keeps it simple. get to a spot and finish.

Dude barber is terrible.

It’s 2023, and dudes are still not fading the sideburns down to the earlobe on a temp, and not getting the proper angle on the beard.

Little **** like this, makes the biggest difference . Crazy

They really trying make Grant the scape goat when....

I can see both sides of the argument; JB might not want to get into a back-and-forth and say something to give them board material. Other hand he might not be ready to concede Jimmy is that dude.

Not going to lie Butler was looking like Jordan with Grant on him. LOL.

This is like a **** talking 2019 kawhi run

It’s strange with Tatum cause coming into the league, the perception of him was a midrange specialist, and there were a lot of doubts about extending his range out to three especially with his form.

While he’s done a much better job than I thought he could extending his range out to three, he’s still not a great shooter from there and he’s completely gotten rid of his midrange which at Duke was kind of his best skill.

Psychopath

Jimmy got some GP and Jordan in his DNA.

I like Mazz and have defended him plenty, but as this team is constructed, I don’t think they can just afford to work through him learning on the job.

Some of the issues are things that have existed with both Brad and Ime too, but after watching the first 2 games of this series, it does feel like he’s not exactly sure who his guys are, and he seems in over his head. Especially against an elite coach like Spo.

If Boston loses the series, I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a move for Nurse.

Boston going to bring Doc back. Time to run it back.

He wasn't lying



Thing that's great is that Spo is just as much of a psycho as him

Guys need to score with one or two dribble. Melo had that simple jab and one dribble

Spoelstra is still an underrated coach in the NBA

Playoff theme this year is poking the bear. Every other week it seems like. It ain't even this many bears in the wild bro.

Maybe I’m just naive but why don’t players play every game as if they got “poked”

Why would you need extra motivation in a playoff game in the conference finals?

I’ve never played organized sports so maybe it’s really a thing

 

[DLF]

Hells yea!
