2018 NBA Post-Season Thread

Scoring, not just shooting

i didnt say scoring because ben could score at will down low. Can get to the hole whenever.

Donovan can too. But donovan can pull up from anywhere also and hit his free throws

 

[Paulius]

He cant score at will

The way he scores, that isnt scoring at will

Donovan scores at will from anywhere on the court

We can wait for this Celtics series. Wont be surprised if Brad crowds the paint to get Ben out of his game

Either way, Mitchell is better. Need your best player to be able to close the deal in the 4th.

Not be afraid to shoot FTs or anywhere outside of 3 feet

 

[Mexi]

Ben can't shoot at all
Doesn't even kid himself. Doesn't even try

A brick layer with his free throws

But he still dominates as a rookie lol
Says a lot

I hope he does crowd the paint

Ersan, JJ, Dario and Belli will be waiting

Hit me up when hack-a-ben loses Philly a game in this series

Paulie it sounds like Paul George to the Lakers or sixers

What do you think

I still say Lakers

 

[Paulius]

Is that supposed to be impressive or something with Kyrie and Hayward not playing or am i missing something here?

Wouldnt even be his team if he went to Philly. Its Embiids team

Like ive said before, if i was in his shoes id go somewhere where im the man of a team

As of right now, that’d be the Lakers for me

If he stays, he’s soft and a robin forever. If he goes to LA, ill respect him

Wont be surprised if he stays tho

I guess a rookie and 2nd year player leading their team to the conference finals isn't impressive

Happens all the time

You make fun of the Warriors for having an easy road all the time due to injuries or easy matchups, and thats in the West

We’re talking about the East here, with Kyrie and Hayward out

Is it impressive? Sure, but not when you realize the circumstances

 

[Mexi]

Hey man I didn't say its the most impressive team I've ever seen

The East has been trash for YEARS. I don't see young guys making a push for the ecf. I see teams like Orlando or Milwaukee do nothing though

Rookie = Markelle Fultz
Second year = Ben Simmons

So yeah I guess you are right

 

[BNC]

I wonder why Paulius  never brings up defense in the Simmons Mitchell discussions

 

[Mexi]

hes selective with defensive praise

Doesn't care that gobert is the best center out west

Loves to dismiss harden because he thinks he still plays 2015 defense

But then loves to call kawhi the 2nd best player in the league when healthy

 

[Paulius]

Mexi you always say how you dont care about defense and how it doesnt matter anymore in todays day and age

But now all of a sudden you’re the DPOY

[Paulius]

Kawhi isnt even top 3 and never was

 

[Mexi]

But now all of a sudden you’re the DPOY

thats me being a sensationalist

Defense does matter and i love guys who play defense. But i dont give out extra points for it like saying kawhi > harden

 

[Mexi]

Like paulie im talking about people who say stuff like

Well, klay isma better defender and is still elite on offense so klay > harden because of defense
Or jimmy or whoever > harden

Thats what I'm saying
