OFFICIAL 2020 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - DISNEY COVID INVITATIONAL EDITION - MAMBA FOREVER - LAKERS WIN THE RONA RAND - ALA FOREVER

[Cashflow]

Shocking considering Jaylen Brown almost willed those guys to victory

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I mean.. ain’t Bill russell 6’9.. and dream was like 6’9 or 6’10.. also Dwight Howard is around that height too

but yea, that’s why it makes zero sense whatever the 76ers were trying do

Your basketball acumen is on point my guy

 

[jballer20]

The blown 14 point 4th quarter lead was much worse especially when they ultimately lost by 2 since Smart chucked a 3 when Jaylen was wide open underneath.

maybe that’s what added to the fight.

 

[atlsfinest]

Is this the peak moment in the history of the Clippers franchise? Up 17 late in the third quarter as your team is up 3-1. Family section dancing and all. Life comes at you fast

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

It's not just the height for sure, but I'm just annoyed at dude continuing to beat a false narrative about small ball like it hasn't produced the last 8 champions or so. From the a Heat, to the Warriors, to the Cavs, back to the Warriors and even the Raptors with Serge, next to nobody is playing 2 bigs at the same time except the Lakers. And everyone with a brain who's watched them at any point knows our best lineups all feature AD at the 5. Hell 3 of the 4 teams now all feature lineups with 1 big surrounded by wings/guards. You ain't going to see DEN put Joker and Plumlee out there for any significant stretch of time. Like basic basketball observation man. Don't know why it triggers me but it does.

Bookmarked for after the Finals.

He's literally saying having both Embiid and Horford out there made no sense and you think he's agreeing with you.

Who cares

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

You don't know basketball. Your eyes deceive you if this is what you think you watched happen.

All I saw was Boston had no answer for Bam, who was free to do anything he wanted. All you need to know bruh...because Jimmy, Dragic, Herro, Brown, Kemba, and Tatum all neutralize each other.

And who then is the difference maker? BIG BAM ADEBAYO.

Who is it?

 

[aepps20]

Boston needs to get mentally tougher. Blowing leads like the Clippers is not a good look.

 

[Moheezy]

Need Nuggets to win tonight for the chaos

LAC lose = heated exchange between Trez and Pendemic P
Boston Lose = heated exchange between Smart and Brown
Toronto lose = they hug it out because Canada
LAL lose = heated exchange between Bron and Rondo

 

[ill steelo]

Always amazes me when you can’t beat a defense where guys are guarding a section of the floor instead of an actual man attack from the slot, drive middle & just overload the weak side, one of their guys is guarding air, one of your guys is open



Miami has very active hands so you gotta be careful on the swings but that’s shot.

C’s came close to this ONCE but Tatum missed the kick out to Kemba & Jaylen wasn’t in the corner

He's not that big lol.

He's basically a small ball version center.

 

[mr s j king]

Celtics just soft
Jimmy runnin around looking like a Skid Row resident got them pretty boys shook

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

So defending the paint, altering shots, and blocks only matter in "key moments?"

Interesting spin.

You still not getting it. Key moments or not, if you dont have bigs who can protect the paint and defend the lane, you done.

No surprise why the top 2 teams in the playoffs both feature bigs who can defend the lane.

Point is, the CELTICS LOST BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T CONTAIN A BIG lol

 

[sneeker]

Who cares

and for the second straight year lost.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Spare me the analytics and stats and what you actually see on the TV when you're watching the game, but yea my asinine logic is undeniable and full proof on leap day and under a blue moon during the winter solstice.

Boy, bye.

Why you scared to bet me a stack then?

"Dwight and Javale will only play in garbage time against Denver" lmaooo.

Goodbye (AOL voice) lmao

 

[geno90221]

Anybody tryna bet on the Nuggets?

 

[akajae]

Good ol front runner sauce.

 

[MVP]

Boston needs to get mentally tougher. Blowing leads like the Clippers is not a good look.

They've been blowing leads all playoffs; 3rd quarter specifically. That's mostly coaching I believe. You get your guys ready to come out the gate but not get them to mentally act like the game is 0-0 at half and to keep up the same intensity. But last night specifically was just not being able to solve a 2-3 zone.

 

[freeze]

Tatum be having stinker games too.

JB and JT don't have the fire that Russ and kd had at the same age. Even when they'd have so so games, the intensity was there.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

He's literally saying having both Embiid and Horford out there made no sense and you think he's agreeing with you.

Wrong. Horford and Embiid ain't the right combination, I'm agreeing with him. But you still not getting it. You put Jerami Grant, Draymond, or Sabonis next to Embiid and see what happens



Watch how the lineup of AD and Dwight or Dwight and Kieff terrorize the Nuggets.

 

[Based Jesus]

In 2020 the most important ability for a big isn't the ability to defend the paint but to defend out to the perimeter.
If you can't you're getting ran off the floor like 2 time DPOY Rudy Gobert does. Quite frequently I might add.
