**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[essential1]

It’s a similar situation to the clippers. Best players aren’t starters

It is purely unacceptable for Lavert to play so little even more so that he’s been putting up numbers

There’s no reason DLo/ Dinwiddie / LeVert can’t be on the court together. Or short stretches all 3. But most of the time just a combo of 2 of 3

First time in a long time that the top 4 in the East (Bucks, Raptors, Sixers, Celtics) imho are better collectively than the top 4 in the West (Warriors, Nuggets, Blazers, Rockets). But barely.

Lol.

There's 2 elite teams in each conference and the rest are a wash. Warriors are clearly the best.

Please stop.

 

[antidope]

Yeah I'm not rolling either because of the insane discrepancy between GSW and the rest

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

At least the Bucks, Raps and Celtics have a chance against the warriors or rockets

Last season Cleveland was food

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

GSW ain't winning the chip this year. The gap is not as big as you think. In fact HOU may just take em out next round. Faried and Capela gonna have a field day punking the Warriors inside. Which is why losing Boogie was huge for not just GSW but for the Rockets as well. His injury opens everything up for Faried and Capela.

It’s like that makes most sense. Ben can guard either of them. But he can’t guard all 3 at the same time and that means jimmy is gonna have to guard 1 and he’s not been good this series. Ben was stopping levert but then they put DLO in and he had to switch and that’s when Lvert starting killing it. But the nets stopped

Celtics have ZERO chance

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Celtics have ZERO chance

I picked Boston over MIL, so we’ll see how they look

But yeah bucks and Celtics series will be very telling

 

[antidope]

I wanted to pick Boston but Marcus went down if not I would have done it and been happy with whatever came of it

Agreed with both of you. Levert was hot in the second quarter then Kenny took him because of rotations. Then you look across at the Sixers and their best are playing upwards of 40 minutes.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Warriors are clearly the best.

I think HOU beats them in 6 next round

Great start to the FMVP Revenge Tour

Put some bread up

 

[hardens beard]

Did the Clippers foul a lot in the regular season?

Curry and Durant FTR have jump tremendously in these playoff. Maybe it just a sample size issues.

Ok straight up bet HOU over GSW, without regard to number of games. A bill.

From the eye test, Clippers are playing extremely physical with Klay, Steph, KD, etc. and it's leading to touch fouls and stuff that's getting them in the bonus quick as hell. Could be a reason.

We have an agreement

antidope you to i just couldnt find your dumb comment



why aint yall keep that same energy during the game last night ?? where was yall ?? awful ****ing quiet thats for sure

to be fair, i did say he is a luxury brand shaun livingston

but this is the problem. Im not gonna watch one game and suddenly have an entirely different opinion on a player. He might have dropped a gem but his game still has deficiencies

Really curious to see if Doc finally bites the bullet and starts Lou and Trezz on Sunday to increase our chances for one more win in the series. My guess is that he doesn’t make any line-up changes.

Without any numbers in front of me, just going by memory, I didn’t consider fouling too much a consistent problem throughout the season. There were definitely particular games I can remember when I thought they were fouling more than they should have been. But it wasn’t a theme to the season as far as I can recall.

 

[ill steelo]

Watching the Nets game last night, something that always bothered me all year continues to rear its head.

That’s Kenny Atkinson’s minutes distribution.

76ers clearly have the more talented players.

Simmons & Butler 38 minutes. Tobias 36 minutes.

Kenny out here playing DLo 30. 28 for Dinwiddie. 26 for LeVert.

You’re outmatched. Why the hell are you managing minutes?

35 mins each, stagger so at least 2 of them on the court all 48. Hopefully someone gets in his ear before they’re down 3-1.

He was on that bench as an assistant for a while, he should know better. You’re not playing 10-11 guys in April. Your best guys are not playing only 29 mins in April

They booed the Eagles opening night after winning the SB.
