2024 NBA OFFS AND INS

Joseeeee

being a pels fan is fun I should do this more

alverado thumbs up from me what a guy

very cool guy for sure

Our special boy is really doing it this is what we dreamed of

oh no

damn what’s up this is bad

Oh no!!!!!

he didnt look injured

he threw the towel really hard must be something

its ok jose can just get guys dunks every time

i was just going to post that the thing about zion is i don't think he can do this in every game or even the majority of games but it's pretty spectacular when he does

lakers lucky af, i can't wait for the nuggets to run them in 5 games

yeah having to play the nugs isnt much reward

hoo ok cj

they should have waited til Zion was better before they started playing again

otm

ad fouled with .6 on the 24 pels cant catch a break

yeah atrocious iso by lebron that got bailed out

cj had ad all over him shouldve tried for the 4pt play

a couple of unrelated observations:

1) as a lebron respecter who has rooted for him at various points of his career, it’s a pretty surreal experience to see him just genuflect to the nuggets on live TV after winning a playoff game. once in a lifetime feeling to see lebron, a laker, say that about the nuggets

2) it’s cool that there’s something of a real rivalry between the two northern california teams

I think I have to root for the warriors here

alex len getting post season minutes over here

"this is a game of mistakes" --steve kerr

new this is a game of dropped

warriors should do something

kings faster to the ball

the warriors have some Hall of Fame players, but as a team they aren't good enough to control games any more

I have watched this so many times and I'm really amped up

Playoffs bay bay

thats the stuff

not watching the 9-10 games, what happens in there is none of our business

its not a place of honor

rip warriors

honestly, i have no idea what the warriors’ path back to the playoffs is

yea this has gotta be it for that squad, was a hell of a run boys

bob myers knew exactly when to gtfo

heh

I’m getting emotional this is the end

the golden state war has ended

It is a time of sadness

i think klay could leave or take a hometown discount to stay, hard to see what teams would want dray on that contract, but despite that it def feels like the end of the dubs ever striking fear in the league with this group again

good night sweet prince* (the golden state warriors basketball organization)

klay 3-29 from the field, 2-18 from three in the warriors last two elimination games

Hardest part to watch for sure

Pretty much all the warriors issues from the season wrapped into one game

Light the beam

Kerr still had no idea what his best lineups were. Bad lazy turnovers. Slow and old. Klay hot/cold (cold when it matters). Young guys good but not great. Leaving people open for three all night. No spark.

It’s better the lakers face Denver early with a fresher Lebron. I think they embrace the underdog roll and anything can happen. Nugs in 6 imo

its like i always say go lakers

i call them the lackers

go lackers

tiring luka out has been the best overall strategy since he came into the league, but he was 19 then and he's 25 now, so his stamina has improved a fair bit

also his passing cant forget that the defense is always very concerned with him making a cool pass xp

lukas endurance is still pretty bad but using kyrie as a ball handler a lot more has helped the situation

which is why its critical to make him defend, a thing the celtics are very good at, theyve been relentless targeting guys all season

jrue has guarded him this year fwiw and luka has called him the best perimeter defender in the game, and i called him maybe the best guy at guarding up in the league

i thought he said this about dort lol

maybe he thinks theyre the same guy

maybe theyre tied, sounds like he likes jrue best tho

Ahead of Game 1 between the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder, Luka Doncic was asked about his matchup against defensive specialist Lu Dort. Doncic spoke glowingly of Dort, hailing him as one of the three best perimeter defenders in the NBA.

"I just got to be aggressive," Doncic said. "But as I said before, I think it was one year ago or something like that, I think he's a top three defender in the league, guarding perimeter position. I think he's very good defensively, he understands what he's doing so he's pretty smart on defense too, so it's going to be a tough matchup."

Doncic was then asked to name who else was in his top three, and he went with Jrue Holiday and Herb Jones.

"Jrue Holiday, for sure," Doncic stated. "I would say Jones, Herb Jones. I think he's a pretty good one too. I'll go with those three."

interesting both jrue and dort are shorter than luka, only jones is a rangy wing

i do think tatum is prob their best defender for luka but the celtics arent going to want to start him or jaylen there its too hard, could see jaylen getting some looks at him as the game goes on and then maybe switch tatum on to him late

luka finding the strong small guys tough to play against prob cause he has trouble moving them a thing thats key to his game

interesting xps. he's really had to go through the gauntlet of tough defensive specialists.
