nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

it’s pretty tough to see any team giving the full-strength nets much trouble the next few years tbh. scary

omg it's only game 2

i would define this as "getting wrecked"

bucks haven't even lost at home in this series and we're crowning the nets 3 time champions

sure, but this has gone about as badly for the bucks as you could imagine. they're getting beaten in every facet of the game that they would need to win in order to take this series.

I meant in the east, but like harden isn’t even playing yet and this is happening

Question do you see Bud making the necessary adjustments to be competitive in this series

typically there aren’t coaching adjustments that explain 25-30 point deficits. the bucks just need to play better. they get to come back home with must win urgency, playoff series have ebbs and flows, ppl start crowning champions or breaking up teams after two games and then all of a sudden the narrative has flipped two games later. let’s see how it plays out

Still have never talked to an actual nets fan

Think about it… neither have I.

Not even like bandwagoners that follow Durant cos well Durant doesn’t pull fans around like that

This game is depressing tho yikes.

it is, but durant has been fucking awesome.

my question if the bucks go out like chumps in this series is when the convo turns to breaking up giannis & middleton. this doesn’t feel like a coaching issue to me right now

mamadi...(checks box score)...diakite checks in the biggest game of his life and 34 seconds later shoves whoever this post malone looking guy is in the face, refs obviously don’t care so pretend they didn’t see it until post malone confronts him about it which forces their hand, then they look at the replay and decide they still don’t care about sisqo and post malone

i think a lot of things are on the table if the bucks get rolled. middleton goes quiet too often but i'm not sure what you'd do with him that got value back.

but there are coaching issues and they're pretty obvious--the bucks still haven't figured out how to play multiple defensive schemes, and maybe giannis on-ball is not the answer at the highest levels.

xp that post malone guy is tyler johnson who got a $50 million contract from the heat!

damn kevin revealing himself to be ignorant of ACC basketball you hate to see it....

anything is possibile but teams up 2-0 win the series 93% of the time, not a great spot to be in historically

the bucks were up 2-0 on the raptors and lost four straight

that stat is a bit skewed bcuz in many instances the team that goes up 2-0 has a distinct talent advantage, the team down 2-0 never was believed to have a chance in the series in the first place etc. i don't think that's the case here. it's possible the bucks just shit the bed it's not like we haven't seen it before, it's also possible that they play much better at home and this goes back to brooklyn 2-2

I’m a big east guy baby

xp.....so the current bucks are absolutely fucked is what you're saying?

i honestly don't think there is a huge talent mismatch in this series

and there shouldn’t be, honestly. if there is that’s a massive issue for the bucks that runs much deeper than just finding another coach

I can't take washed dudes who couldn't win 40 games as a starter getting puffed up riding Durant's coattails.

I hope Blake falls off the air bridge onto the tarmac and lands on his tailbone.

maybe kyrie will get injured

I didn’t think it was going to be a huge talent mismatch either but getting blown out by 40 with harden not playing is not a great prognostic sign!

i don't think there is a major talent deficit on paper but a couple things need to be true for the bucks to win in this series

- giannis needs to be close to unguardable on offense
- jrue needs to outplay kyrie
- the bucks need to be better on athleticism, effort, and pace

and none of those things look like they're anywhere near coming true

this shouldn't be a massive lopsided talent situation with harden sitting and yet

being down by 49 in the playoffs is pretty bad stuff

if jrue offers no resistance to kyrie in this series that’s a huge issue for the bucks given that they poured essentially every asset they had into him as the final piece of the puzzle

it's not really ideal to have an all-time great player in his prime and then have 3 consecutive playoffs of "I don't understand how they're playing so bad"

yeah so far kyrie has been like a 4/5 and jrue has been a 2 or 2.5/5 and that isn't going to do it

I disagree there isn't a talent mismatch. Kevin Durant is the most talented scorer in the history of the sport and a top 15 most decorated player all-time bare minimum. Kyrie has as deep an offensive package as a 3 level scorer as anyone who's ever played. OTOH Giannis is... an outlier physical specimen who's levied his gifts into the .000000001% best possible of all his projected career outcomes of multiple regular season MVP awards, Jrue is a 1x all-star, and Middleton is and always has been nothing more than a nice complementary player, not anywhere close to a true superstar. There is a massive talent gap between the Bucks best player and the Nets best player, the Bucks 2nd best player and the Nets 2nd best player, and so on. And that's almost always what it comes down to at the end of the day come playoff time; who has the most true all-star/superstar firepower on the court. Even without Harden that's Brooklyn.

could it be that Bud just did not gameplan at all for the Nets w/o Harden

facu is the nuggets lil bastard, really loving seeing him match up with cp3

i get delly vibes from him

it is very possible that all little white dudes who engage in floppy & cheap behavior code samey to me

he really nails a ton of paul’s little pesky habits imo, reminds me a lot of him at times

what an incredible insult to chris paul lmao let’s go back to the delly comparisons

campazzo can play rude to compare him to delly

Campazzo drops a dime for the Jokic three 👌🏽

can we just put him on some kind of middle between delly and cp3 and never discuss him again?

no we talk about him all the time now

wow that steal by Campazzo

I’m not saying he’s a comparable player to paul obviously, though of course paul delly and facu all fall on the lil bastard spectrum with varying talent levels, but facu just mimics paul’s movements on the court in a way that delly is for sure way too inelegant to consider

no we talk about him all the time now
