That was the first extended look I've had at Jeremy in quite a while. On both ends he tends to be trick or treat. Gets lost on defense but his length allows him to compensate for positioning and footwork. He forces it on offense but in one instance got his own rebound and had the presence to reset. He LOOKS different and older, I think good chance that he grows into a player in next couple of years. Has the skills, just needs to work mentally while he gets the reps. More PT in the playoffs is definitely the Evelyn Wood* version of growth.

Lamb had a bad night in game 5. The lowlight was defending a fake pass while leaving a 3-pt shooter open. Drives me crazy when players think there is a higher priority than defending the guy with the basketball.
I think Lamb is just trying to do too much knowing he is out of the rotation he feels like he has to do everything out there. I didn't watch the game after halftime because it was such a blowout I watched the Rangers game instead.

Yeah it only got worse heading in to the fourth quarter, pacers were up big at the end of the third and I went to bed
the NBA playoffs just pales in comparison to the NHL playoffs

In what way? Based on ratings the country disagrees.

I know better than to imply that the NHL playoffs this year hasn't been entertaining (although it'd be way more so if the Bruins were still in), but this year's NBA playoffs has been great and don't "just pale in comparison." I think there were three 7-game series, and there have been some crazy performances.

I mean everyone in America knows that basketball is far more popular than hockey. An article like this is comparable to writing up a whole article on how "hey guys check this out, college football makes more money than college basketball!"
It doesn't matter if the country disagrees, its more popular, doesn't mean its more exciting. I didn't say the NBA playoffs isn't exciting because it is just not as exciting as the NHL playoffs.
