The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night





Wish Miami had a Lively :lol:

Kinda why I'm hoping the Edey interest is real

EYE remember some folks in here tying themselves into pretzel knots about the Mavs tanking to draft a lottery center that averaged 5 and 5 at Duke when those guys are regularly available late first/early second.

My son’s a star and a got damn vocal leader at 20.
 
Mavs win Game 5, they got this in 7
Would be great television but they’re still not making enough 3s.

They had 92 through 3 quarters while shooting 7/22 from deep. Only 4 attempts from the corner.

Unsustainable. Ends Monday in all likelihood, if not definitely in G6.
 


This is why I've always found dude so maddening.

No, these 'highlights' aren't great. He's never gonna shut anyone down. But Games 1-3 felt wholly lazy and loser energy because he got beat a couple times, wasn't getting calls, and he just overwhelmingly quit trying.

Whatever he's got going on with his legs/back, IDK, we'll have to see when the season is over.

All the guy has to do most of the time defensively is try. Nobody's asking you to go shut down the perimeter. You just need to be active enough to not force the other 4 guys into a rotation spin cycle and find your *** someone to cover/box out when you rotate off ball.

It's a big reason I hate dude going every summer to play for Slovenia - all these bad habits get doubled-down on and reinforced all summer because there's places to stand around and hide in FIBA/Olympic play against almost everyone but the USA.
 
I really hope the Mavs can win game 5. Need Kyrie and Luka to hit some 3s.

So we can see the Celtics play at least one pressurized game.
 
Celtics still pull out the series, just a matter of they get it in 5 or 6.
 
Feel like Hurley has gone into TMI territory in these post-decision interviews.
