40-14-6-3 on 16-24 shooting and 7-10 from the line + the game winning block for giannis. increasingly feeling like the east playoffs are going to be a formality, the bucks have a historically dominant player and two other all star level guys who make plays at the ends of games. i just don't see who else in the conference can match that firepower
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 March 2022 01:31 (two years ago) link
the sixers only shooter is georges niang, their lead ball handler turns into an open run at LA fitness player under pressure, and their coach is bad. otherwise i like their chances

i saw on this broadcast that philly ends the season with @ pistons, home hornets, @ cavs, @ pacers, @ raptors, home pacers, home pistons. will be interesting to see where they try and land w/ that schedule. over half those games are almost untankable

its true they did just beat the sixers by two points
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 02:01 (two years ago) link
yeah I think they're probably a favorite vs Celtics 76ers & Nets but only slightly so and they have a tendency to make things close
anyway. what an awesome game for Giannis

i don't want to discourage any fans of the other east teams from believing that their team can make the finals as i am one of those fans myself. but i think when you have a guy capable of putting up 35-15 w/ crazy rim protection every game plus a guy who can get his jump shot off against any defender plus a point guard who makes life hell on any opposing ball handler, and you're the defending champs, you're gonna be extremely tough and perhaps impossible to beat

i mean i like the bucks i think they should probably be favored in the east but i would like to see them play like at least quasi dominant ball for any stretch of games before i agree theyre unbeatable
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 04:02 (two years ago) link
they haven't had their full lineup available until just this game. Brook in particular seems to be pretty important, they just don't look the same without him
― frogbs, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 04:06 (two years ago) link
brook is a good player but idk
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 04:10 (two years ago) link
the thing with the bucks which has been true throughout their run as contenders and continues to be true is their offense is just pretty stoppable, its obvs been well documented that if you can prevent giannis from dunking on your head he doesnt really have a counter, and then their other two guys are very good players but are not like huge demanders of double teams, they got stopped a lot in last years playoffs but snuck through on great defense, and this year they just havent been that good, i mean maybe theyre taking it easy getting healthy but theres nothing about them that says this is a team that thats about to romp, i think if they make it through the east it will be a grind again, its just kinda their way

The last time the Utah Jazz played the LA Clippers here in LA, they blew a 25-point second-half lead and lost.In their first game vs. Clippers in LA since that Game 6 collapse, the Jazz blow a 25-point second half lead and lose.— Tomer Azarly (@TomerAzarly) March 30, 2022

i think giannis is a better offensive player esp w/ free throw shooting, but his game has looked more varied to me this year. he hit a mid range jumper in crunch time tonight that is basically indefensible bcuz of how you have to play him. middleton has been whatever this year by his standards but his ability to get his shot off on anyone is one of the most important playoff skills.
there was def some ugly rock fight games in the nets series last year but i do think that was a make or break mental hurdle series for them and they were able to get past it. i'm gonna put aside the east finals bcuz of the giannis injury and then in the finals the bucks scored 105, 108, 120, 109, 123 and 105 w/ giannis averaging 35-13-5. so idk, i think they've demonstrated that their offense can get to that level in the playoffs.
i don't think they will roll thru the playoffs like the 01 lakers but if they make the finals w/o seeing a game 7 i wouldn't be surprised

i believe in the power of ja
also they are winning HELLA games
the lakers i still believe
― Clay, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 05:41 (two years ago) link
Ja is hurt and no one knows how serious it is yet. Also they rely on fast-breaks and speed quite a bit, two things that are generally stifled in the playoffs.I’d say warriors but there’s a handful of things needing to break right for them, curry and Dray have to be 100% healthy first and foremost. I’d prob still put my money on them but … not a lot

an interesting argument to be made for the mavs
― Clay, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 05:59 (two years ago) link
for real, spottiei think i’d prob still say the warriors. we’ve seen their peak this year & it’s been better than any other team in the league aside from phoenix. but yeah my second pick would be…… dallas?? but only if they can get third from the warriors bcuz i don’t see them beating phoenix in the second round. but let’s say they can get to the west finals by beating a denver team that still isn’t right and then the grizz?
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 March 2022 06:03 (two years ago) link
i’ve heard ppl say that dallas likes their match up with memphis bcuz the game will slow down in the playoffs and they’re confident in their half court D against memphis in the half court
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 March 2022 06:04 (two years ago) link
my biggest concern is dray. he sounded very defeated in his post game presser the other night, admitting the team is worse when hes playing right now. he was a top 15 player this season up until his injury. im just hoping it comes back somehow, hope he has lebrons miami connection.
re mavs i just dont see their role guys stepping up enough to win 4/7 games from the grizz. but they are a completely different team post zinger so i guess them making the wcf wouldnt be completely asinine. that would be a fun series. dubs vs grizz would be fun too cos theres some rivalry stuff thats been brewing there for a couple years.
