2023 NBA Playoffs Thread

It was more of a Wisconsin-style flop.

Still think Giannis is the best, most impactful 2 way player but If Jokic can win the title, then I’ll give him the accolade.

I love crafty players with an unrivaled offensive toolset, and he’s possibly the craftiest center of all time. Smoothest, most entertaining players in the NBA (at least to watch highlights of) imo:

  1. Jokic
  2. Doncic
  3. Kyrie
  4. Harden
  5. Sabonis or Morant (not crafty but the way he yolo lunges to a basket guarded by 2 rim protectors or Lebron is just super flipping funny, every time).

Shoutout to Lamelo Ball and Cade.

Great players I don’t adore watching:

  1. Steph Curry: Crafty, yes, but I hate him. Stupid f&ck broke basketball.
  2. Giannis: Run and dunk man
  3. Embiid: way too traditional of a center albeit one who can shoot and defend the perimeter
  4. Kawhi: the real best player in the NBA but he’s way too robotic.
  5. Kevin: gifted with otherworldly physical attributes, he doesn’t have to entertain when he can just shoot over everyone, every single time.

Lebrun James:

  1. Lebron James: part android, part showman. Neither too entertaining, nor too stiff. He just is.

Sorry, I have literally nothing better to do at work right now.

Hasn’t put himself in situtations lately where someone can get him the ball in an advantageous position. It’s mostly dribbling himself into hard shots, which isn’t fun.

I would also add Smart to the list, as long as they are willing to count the flops and charges taken in the box score. He then can record the first quadruple double, after the admiral.

Some combo of Strus, Vincent, Love, and Lowry keep giving the Jimmy/Bam duo just enough enough to win these

It wasn’t Duncan tonight.

they are losing at home, wdym

They were winning

Walker couldn’t bail out LeBrick Junks on that possession

I predict a game tying 3 to force OT and then Steph fouls out on the jump ball

Draymond still with Klutch Sports huh

I predict that Draymond will recklessly drive to the basket and then pass it to the Lakers

GSW choked on applesauce!

how about that Lonnie Walker!

Not a vintage Warrior performance down the stretch. Steph shooting from 30 feet but missing. Turnovers from Draymond and Steph. And letting Lonnie Walker IV own the night.

Huh?
