NBA playoffs

[jibsey]

I dont watch the NBA but watching the NY Phil game. The 3 point shooting is horrendous. I think Alex can shoot better than many of these guys. The defense is actually horrible.

 

[T-Squared]

All I get from watching the NBA Playoffs is that they’re sloppy .

 

[Scoe]

Knicks are too undisciplined and Thibs won’t play Precious who played lock down defense in game 4 and controlled the boards. I just don’t get why NBA don’t use their bench and they wonder why guys get worn down.

What a collapse this half. Is Thibs even awake?

Hartenstein, Hart and OG are throwing this series themselves, and the flaws on the team have been accepted all year long and they always show up in the playoffs.

If Hart made a free throw at the end last game the Knicks would be playing the Pacers. Their front court can't handle Embid. Hart is not enough of a scorer. Going to be lucky to win.

Absolutely no idea why Thibs doesn’t use his very deep bench.

Guys are playing 40 mins for no reason.

If Andre could score in simple ways he’d be an even better Josh Hart. Who just does anything and everything to be valuable on the floor.

That's how Thibs has been his whole career. The bench isn't deep now though.

It’s so unnecessary.

He can play Burks, Bogan, and Precious if need be.

Sixers vs Knicks is nuts

 

[superjohn]

Knicks were up 8 with under 2:30 left. The firggin' guards can't make ft's.

Hard to believe Maxey is a 6'2" 23yr old. Big game player.

All I get from watching the NBA Playoffs is that they’re sloppy .

nba and college teams both average ~13 turnovers per game and nba games are 20% longer. college ball is definitely sloppier unless youre only watching uconn games

 

[nomar]

Why foul Maxey with 10 seconds left? Silly. I get the idea of not letting him get into his shot but he was 80 feet from the hoop.

 

[nomar]

Joel Embiid’s playoff career, yikes

 

[superjohn]

Was not expecting Hart to make that. Brunson is a beast, the degree of difficulty on his shots is outrageous.

Probably because he was gonna hit it from 80 feet lol . Wouldnt have been necessary if free throws were made.

 

[superjohn]

I'm okay with whatever happens now. The last time I liked watching Philly was when I was a little kid and they had Barkley. Bunch of whiners over there year after year.

Brunson's last 4 games...39 pts 13 assists, 47 pts 10 assists, 40 pts 6 assists, 41 pts 13 assists, 41 pts 12 assists.

A few weeks ago this was valid, now their bench is non-existent. Probably should have played 8 guys with Precius but after that you're onto a washed up Alec Burks and G League guys

He’s insane. Shiftier than I ever thought a sub-athletic guard could be. One of the best tough shot makers in the league, up there with Kyrie.

My Dad is a bigger Knicks fan than I, I’m sure you all know I am a LeBron fan. He complains a lot that Brunson needs to trust his teammates more. I don’t disagree, he does get a bit tunnel visioned sometimes, but man, he is incredible either way. Should be 2nd team All-NBA at the very least.

I think Burks could contribute still, I just think Thibs is fully fine with his guys playing 44+ mins, and they seem fine with it as well.

Brunson's last 4 games...39 pts 13 assists, 47 pts 10 assists, 40 pts 6 assists, 41 pts 13 assists, 41 pts 12 assists.

Took more shots from midrange 10’ and longer than he did 3s.

Just to continue to add to the case that real superstars lean on an elite mid range game more than anything. Him and Shai have their teams punching way above their weight class on it.

Knicks are a legit Finals contender.
