So if you're Toronto, you move on from Casey and Lowry? DeMar is locked up and still young. Move forward with VanVleet and a new coach? The rest of the roster is stellar. Kyle was better than DeMar in these playoffs but at this point he's on the wrong side of 30. Let him go elsewhere to end his...
I disagree about LeBron needing 6 rings. Michael's teams never once played an opponent in the Finals that was better than they were. Not. Once. Any of those Finals wins--even at the time they happened--would have been upsets if the Bulls lost.
If the Raptors get swept out again, they need a serious change at the coaching position. Casey's defense is nice. He deserves credit for allowing the FO to force through an offensive scheme change as opposed to getting fired over something as silly as how you run your offense. I've got a lot of...
Scott Foster is routinely panned as the least favorite official for both players and coaches. And yet he somehow gets ranked high enough by the league, players, and coaches to officiate playoff games?
Something doesn't add up
Every time you think Utah is cooked, they come back and surprise you. Can we just call Quin Snyder the Brad Stevens of the Western Conference? Obviously he's not as young as Stevens but his name is still relatively new in NBA coaching circles and his teams are so obviously well coached and...
Well that, and shitty luck played a role on their last possession. There's nothing about their collective mentality that makes all those shots roll out.
Quite frankly, they just need to keep running their offense. Reverting to iso late in games is the bane of my existence. Run your damn offense.
Toronto has to win game 2 convincingly or this series is coming back to Canada at 3-1, Cavs. It's just crazy how much difference the best player in the world can make.
I think Beal is more valuable as a scorer in today's NBA but very clearly the PG position has become the most important position in the league over the past 4-5 years. Now that he has a jump shot and a 3 ball, I'd pick Wall to build a team around over Beal. But as an addition to an already...
Aside from their regular starting 5 Washington's roster was trash. Cleveland has some nice depth and guys just learning how to play this time of year. They're better than Washington quite easily.
Props to this Pacers team, but they need one more piece or Turner/Sabonis need to take the next step.
I have a feeling Cleveland will beat Toronto even if Kyle and DeMar play well. I think Indiana was better than we realized and also a bad matchup for the Cavs.
Props to Nate McMillan for...
Man, this Milwaukee team is just underwhelming. Even Giannis is underwhelming. Yeah, he'll posterize the shit out of somebody one quarter, then miss 5 layups/bunnies the next. It's like watching a supremely talented golfer continually miss qualifying for the PGA because of shitty mechanics and...
See, I wouldn't hate to see that happen, but I don't think they'd beat Toronto and question whether they could knock off Cleveland if the Cavs can win on Sunday and then get through the Raptors somehow.
Rubio makes the Jazz offense flow so well. This series comes down to whether or not Houston's shooters can make enough contested shots. If they do, it's over in as little as 4. If they don't, it could be a 7 gamer
Thank god we don't have to watch that OKC shit show anymore. What a failed experiment. Try to retain George but let Melo go be the #1 option on a middling team. Dude could have contributed something to the Thunder but just kinda putzed his way through the season. There are 100 reasons he's never...
