2017 NBA Playoffs Thread - CLE @ BOS Game 5 on TNT

[Hank Scorpio]

I would say he doesn't need a midrange if he can get the 3 ball.  

Not this mid range vs 3-ball argument again

 

[hoosierdaddy317]

Pretty silly how you can't get a max deal if you didn't make an All-NBA team...

I kinda agree. Leaving my teams future in the hands of writers [emoji]129300[/emoji]

 

[Mr.Guy]

Love or kyrie over Durant?

Da Kang over Beta D.

Why?

Makes sense to me. You earn your money. But I understand injuries can happen which can riddle your chances of making the 1st team All-NBA.

The fact that members of the sports media who vote for the all-NBA teams get to determine whether a player is eligible to earn another $30-70 million is absolutely ludicrous. Sportswriters arbitrarily determining paychecks is absurd.

This part

Several teams made trade offers for George in February, including the Atlanta Hawks, who offered four first-round picks in exchange for him.

This is from what?

ESPN article.

Not to rehash but it's true in general.

However especially true for Giannis because he's so damn fast getting to the basket and such a great playmaker off of the dribble.  If they have to play on him at the 3-point line it's over.

I would say he doesn't need a midrange if he can get the 3 ball.  

That is obvious, however he clearly lacked the confidence to shoot from that range and was a little more confident shooting the midrange. With his height and athleticism the midrange would be dangerous for him if he can just build off of that

You ask him to work on that it will absolutely hurt the midrange game that he clearly worked on.


Everyone so fascinated with the 3 these days, build up to it. Look at Kawhi then look at AD not everyone is meant to shoot from distance to maximize effectiveness .

KD didnt have to learn to shoot from range was already apart of his game

I don't agree with those of you saying PG should've made a team. He pretty much mailed in the first three quarters of the season and turned up in the last 20 games.

The teams mostly look fine to me, but I'd replace DeRozan with CP3.

Idk fam cp3 played the fewest games of his career this year. I'd put Dame over cp3 this year

 

[bballkid11]

Wall st made the bank

Yep

There's no way he'll become a consistent enough midrange shooter to take them at a worthy rate.

I think that's fair to have Lillard in there. CP3 was better but Dame played 75 games to CP's 61 so he has a case too. I'd still go with CP3 but I can see the argument.

 

[FreshLeeLA]

I think they brought him in just because he is a great player and was willing to come.  I don't think he was filling a need necessarily.

Obviously adding the 2nd best player improves your team but I remember people were saying KD would be able to produce offense when the others were struggling with their offense, specifically Steph. Outside of Steph, who was able to create their own shot last year in the playoffs? So yes, I do believe he filled a need for GS.

And I wouldn't call Dray an elite scorer.

 

[nick.]

- Switch Gobert & Davis
- Switch Thomas & Wall
- Towns over DeAndre
- Paul, Lillard, or McCollum over DeRozan

Other than that the teams look alright

No way in hell am I paying 200 mill to jimmy butler.

Dj making it is just dumb

Agreed. But I'm also eh on giving it to Russ

Boston needs to trade that first pick for something thats going to actually build a better team.

I think most of you are being thrown off by the number without realizing that's what the market value is trending towards for good players.

if dame played with nurkic all season and actually had a post presence to draw defenses off the perimeter and not cheat on defense, he would've had an even better season statistically and record wise.

outside of dame and cj, the rest of that blazer roster :x

Precisely. If Naptowns own Conley can get that bag I'm sure as hell Jimmy b can get 200m's
