2024 NBA OFFS AND INS

yes, that is a truly wild opinion, controps at its finest

it has been addressed

okc making a lot of preventable mental errors

thunder when nuts to close the half its like im always saying close the quarter strong score 24 points at the end

Everything but finals should be five game series. Maybe the conference finals could be seven. Way to much offs.

Why would you want less ball? Ball is life.

i'd be fine with the first round reverting to 5 games but the rest of it has to be 7

I like the “3-0 in the first round is a sweep” idea but like why would the NBA do that

mavs mounting a comeback

its true what they say about basketball being a game of runs

role players lying on the floor because they’re mad about not getting a call…in a playoff game

they learned it by watching the stars

would like to see shai go wild here

couple thunders in the game to shoot threes passing up threes

close game

dallas really had a luka and kyrieless linupe up out there in two point game with under five to play

guess it was only 14 seconds

mavs hitting huge shots here

welp, mavs were better

fun series

good game, luka is a very unlikeable character

rooting for whoever wins the min-den series from here on out

same

will be sad to see you guys left in tears but we all make our choices

honestly i'll be happy with anyone but dallas

Rooting for the Mavs with Luka and Kyrie is a bit like rooting for the 'Bad Boy' Pistons. Someone's gotta do it, but it won't be me.

that would have been a very bizarre and disappointing loss for either side

lively outplaying chet and jones jr outplaying any OKC role player epitomized that series. he’s in the perfect role and is playing w/ two of the best ball handlers in the league but damn lively is a baller

yeah he’s in the perfect situation. gafford too. they made good use of the deadline

it does feel like they will be a dog vs whoever comes out of the min/denver series but a western conference final berth is a huge accomplishment after missing the playoffs last year. and luka is that guy

okc shouldve won that series but they didnt instead they got beat

shai was really good

not exactly an original opinion but okcs galaxy brained scheme to not care about size or rebounding is maybe not the best

also trading for hayward while dallas got washington from the same team turned out pretty rough

okc has positional size everywhere except where it mattered most

they got outrebounded 5 of 6 games including 47-31 tonight

they’re playing the long game (haha but not literally) I think it’s fine

they’ll find some reboundy guy

andre drummond reclamation project coming soon

chet is 2 years older than lively too so it’s not even like they can just chalk it up to their youth

one thing that also tripped them up is that in the regular season they got a lot of supplemental offense from giddey, he was essentially their back up PG and could run the team when shai was sitting or make things happen when they played together. in this series he put up 6-3-1 on 41/18 shooting and didn’t play more than 13 mins after game 1. accordingly there was too much of a burden on shai, j dub had some moments but in the end wasn’t really anywhere close the paul george-ian second creator you can project him to be.

nothing about giddey’s game at the moment makes you think he will become playable in the offs, so imo they need to find another guard who they can mix in w/ dort, wallace, joe who can actually create off the dribble. those guys were all great regular season role players and dort and wallace will obv be key cogs but their collective inability to take any playmaking burden off shai & j dub was a noticeable anchor in this series

using a challenge down by a field goal, when you have one timeout and 2.5 seconds left, seems like a huge mistake to me

When was the last time OKC had a veteran who was a real player? Chris Paul? It seems like it's either youngsters or Presti's salary fodder. They could use a Mike Conley type.

the impact he's had on the won't Wolves has been incredible

the challenge is defensible to me because if they won it it would’ve been a jump ball and the game would’ve been over. so it was a high upside gamble, and your chances of scoring with 2.5 seconds even w/ a timeout are still pretty slim

Sad for okc. Dallas was unwatchable to me last year but adding all this athleticism and high flying bigs has made them much more aesthetically appealing. Hate them tho and need them to be beat.

I thought the challenge was good and didn’t know about the not loosing possession thing

DJJ being a solid rotation piece is cool, this really is the right team right place type of thing ala GP2 2022 Bruce Brown 2023 type of thing

its game seven sunday, take deep breaths, remember to hydrate

nothing better than a game 7 without your team in it

just sit back and enjoy some high stakes hoops

weve got fans of all todays teams on here good luck to everyone may god walk with you
