Lol yea, well,yea, you and ALEX called it lol. The Nets went from looking like a contender to looking like a pretender real quick lol

But naw, if not for the injury to Kyrie I wouldn't say they are in trouble yet.

If Kyrie is ok and/or if Harden returns to the line-up I still see the Nets winning this series.

They certainly looked out of sorts today tho. Don't seem like they responded well to the pressure at all.

Didn't catch this one live today but I will definitely watch the next one.

Durant is due. It's make or break time.

Well, lets be super fair...

Nets lost 2 of their "big 3" members and is basically a team of KD + A bunch of nobodies.

Still....this is what happens when you make a team the way they did.

Sure if they stay healthy....they can win it no matter what, but now with two key members out, they don't look so great.

MAYBE if they can get Kyrie back they still have a chance....otherwise it doesn't look good.

BUT even IF they were "healthy" I stand firm with my Suns/Jazz pick.

I believe that will be the WCF.....and BTW, congrats to the Suns for getting to the WCF today.

And I believe the winner between Suns vs Jazz will be your NBA Champion.

It's funny because it looked like Paul would be one of those "He had a great career but he never won a ring" type of players.

I don't think anyone thought the Suns would be THIS good.

Sure, we thought they could make the playoffs maybe as a 6 or 7th seed.

But now they're halfway to a championship....and they look VERY GOOD!

Fun Facts:

#1 The Phoenix Suns have been a franchise since 1968 (This is their 52nd season in the NBA) they have NEVER won a championship.

#2 The last time the Suns were in the NBA finals it was in 1993 vs the Bulls....yes THOSE Bulls....That was the year Charles Barkley won the MVP.....but you know they went up against Jordan and, yeah....no one beat Jordan in an NBA Finals.

#3 People might have forgotten just how GOOD the Suns were during the "Steve Nash era"....between 2005 and 2010 the Suns averaged 55 wins per season!

In this era, Steve Nash won two MVPs and along with Amare Stoudemire they were LEGIT contenders almost every year!

The problem was their defense...they could score a million points, and Steve Nash was so fucking great....but they couldn't guard to save their lives.


Bonus fun fact!: In the United States we have a thing called the "4 major sports" which are American Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Hockey.

Most "Major" American cities have at least 2 or 3 teams in these 4 major sports....but only a special few have ALL 4 teams in the 4 major sports.

Phoenix is ONE of those cities.

They have the Arizona Cardinals (NFL) Phoenix Suns (NBA) Arizona Diamondbacks (MLB) and Phoenix Cayotes (NHL).

But here is where things get very interesting....Phoenix in it's ENTIRE history only has ONE Major Championship.

The 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks winning the World Series over the New York Yankees.

Sooooo.....if the Suns were to win it...they would be able to celebrate their first major championship in 20 years!

Just goes to show you how the BIG markets like New York, LA, and Boston dominate the American major sports!

Sources: NBA’s Competition Committee met Monday to further explore rules changes to restrict unnatural motions on jump shots players use to draw fouls. NBA wants to limit players - including stars like Trae Young, James Harden - from leaning backwards and sideways to draw fouls. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1404531586771689479

You talking about the guy who picked the Suns and Clippers to lose in the 1st round? 🀣

KD popping off will depend on the officiating. If the refs let the Bucks play overly physical on him like they did in game 4, he'll probably have another rough night. My guess is with Kyrie and Harden out and the game being in Brooklyn, the calls would be more in Brooklyn's favor.

Three things need to happen for them tonight: KD putting up 38+, their role players hitting their 3s, and Bucks taking lots of 3s and shooting under 30% on those.

KD played the whole game and had 49 points missing only 7 shots.. Monster carry job by KD.

That was the Bucks game to lose after the 1st half and they actually pulled it. Too many dumb decisions and dumb shot selections in the 2nd half. Bud with another terrible coaching job, dude just never learns. I was rooting for the Nets but at some point in the 4th quarter, I just felt frustrated and sad for the Bucks.

How does the Nets play and what was right about it? They've never had problems scoring against elite defenses. They're not only the best offensive team but they're also #1 in offensive efficiency. And that's with their big 3 rarely playing together. Look, it's hard enough to defend one elite 3 level scorer but imagine having three of them but upgrade the elite to all time great level scorers. That's what Brooklyn have, they have 3 all time great scorers who also know how to get to the line. They're just too good offensively if healthy. But funny thing is both the Nets and the Bucks are in the top 3 defense in the playoffs. Health is the reason to doubt them.

Wtf are these injuries man. Now Kawhi is out for the series and CP3 will probably miss out on a decent chunk of the WCF with Covid. Clips have no shot in a GM7 in Utah so today is basically a must win. If PG doesn’t have a career game like KD did yesterday, he’ll never hear the end of it.

The Nets are top heavy and their 3 stars are ball-dominant players with their roles being very similar. They've shown that they can make it work but relying on a high-powered offense while lacking a defensive presence is the risk for them.

I think (if healthy) the Nets can win it all (they've been my pick to come out the East since the beginning because of Durant) but at the same time I know how important defense can be to winning.

The question for the Nets is, what happens if enough shots aren't falling? Can they grind it out? Can they get enough stops?

I don't doubt what the Nets can do but I see how they can stumble.

KD put on a spectacular performance but, it's like you said, the Bucks shot themselves in the foot also. They could of done more to attack the Nets' defense but too many times settled. Harden only made one fg, too. Chances are that won't happen next game.

That KD run at the end of the 3rd/start of 4th where Brooklyn scored almost every possession was ridiculous. As a Bucks fan I feel like I've seen that for the last 4 years or so in potential playoff wins. They can't help themselves and make no adjustments.... ever. I swear KD kept leading Tucker into the same screen to get the same Lopez switch with the same result 6 or 7 times in a row. They also couldn't help themselves and continued their yearly trend of fake help defense on drives so they can leave wide open 3s every time.

Bucks should and would have won if they didn't waste so many 4th quarter opportunities with those selfish and worthless iso 0 pass possessions by their "big 3" Giannis, Khris and Jrue. The lack of flow was just ugly.

while there is barely any scoring highlight for Ben Simmons again, honestly they should get rid of Ben as soon as possible he cannot defend and he cannot score on a consistent basis and his a bad free throw shooter lol

Ugh, was rough watching the first half hot shooting stint by the Jazz come to a screeching halt in the second half. Was frustrating seeing everyone coast by on the defensive end until it was too late. Even with Mitchell hobbled and no Conley, this was a pretty horrible loss. What a time to drop an inconsistent effort, smh. :|

Don't think it's necessarily over with Kawhi being out, but still, yiiikes. Props to PG though; absolutely balled out.

Uhm... Embiid and Curry were the only Sixers that made a field goal in the entire 2nd half.

Sixers were up 22 with like 1 minute left in the 3rd then Doc put his 2nd unit and the Hawks went on a 13-2 run in 3 minutes lol.

It was actually Lou who killed the Sixers in the 4th. It was so dumb too, Sixers had Ben and Thybulle on the floor and neither was on Lou when he was hot. Hawks hunted Curry.

Ben should've been traded awhile ago.

What's important is that all 3 have high bbiq and all of them are three level scorers who can create their own and create for others. Harden actually is averaging 10+ assists and has been more of a playmaker. KD can just score over anybody but he's willing to make the right plays with game 5 as a good evidence. Kyrie is like a small version of KD.

I don't know how you're watching the playoffs and still say their " lacking a defensive presence" lol. Their defense was solid against Boston and held them to under 45% shooting in 4/5 games. They've also done a solid job defensively against the Bucks. They're not defensive juggernauts but they can be scrappy and they're capable of getting stops. They're like the 3rd best defense in this playoffs. They're also the most clutch team this season.

Bucks actually attacked the Nets' defense more than you think in the 4th but the Nets did a great job of sliding their feet and staying infront forcing them to take contested jumpshots.

What the Bucks should've done is move the ball more, run different sets, and hunt Harden.

Nice win for the Bucks, played a complete game and attacked the rim for the most part. Khris getting hot in the 3rd/4th kept the lead strong. Biggest differences between the last 2 games was seeing more Giannis switching to KD instead of Lopez.... and obviously Jeff Green not hitting 8 threes.... It was a much better effort on defense this time.

Not saying there's anything wrong with the Nets having 3 ball dominant players. Like I've stated before they've shown that they can make it work. Still tho, against more balanced teams, against more balanced attacks, it's easy to see how they are vulnerable if their star players aren't shooting a high percentage. They simply aren't a defensive force (and they have no bench). I think they have the firepower to overcome that but being as reliant as they are on their ability to make tough shots is a high risk.

And, naw, what the Bucks did in the 4th quarter in game 5 was a great example of what not to do lol. They even had Harden looking like a good defender a few times lol. Many times in that 4th quarter the Bucks just phoned it in.

Game 7. I like their chances vs the Nets big 1 1/2.

Khris was on fire. 10/15 on jumpshots and got to the line 12 times. Giannis' decision making and shot selection was really good. Jrue is an idiot.

Bench is not that important in the playoffs. Coaches usually shortened their rotation to 8. Bucks had one of the best bench if not the best in the last two seasons before this and look what happened. Bud got shit on for not playing his starters more minutes and shortening his rotation. Raptors had the best bench in 2018 and fucking Ennis and Scott outplayed them in the playoffs. Heat had one of the best bench last year and Spo ended up with a 7-8 man rotation in the playoffs. Jazz have the best bench this year and they've shortened their rotation to 8. Green, Clax and Brown/Shamet are enough with all of their starters healthy.

Saying naw to them passing the ball more, running different sets and hunting Harden is the dumbest thing ever. ISO'ing the entire 4th and no ball/man movement made them easier to defend.

Here's what they did in the 4th:

Jrue iso step back 3 vs Harden

Jrue attacked but Brown was able to stay infront ending in turn around jumpshot in the post

Giannis layup after attacking Green

Giannis attacked but got walled off, Khris bailed them out with a 3.

Giannis post up attack missed a short hook

Giannis attacked, offensive foul

Jrue iso got baited to take a semi open midrange by Harden who was backing off

Khris attacked Shamet, missed short floater

Pat curled, Harden got switch on him, Pat attacked for an open layup

Jrue iso attacked KD, KD stayed infront forcing him to settle for a corner midrange

Giannis attacked from the top

Khris attacked, tried to drive on KD but KD slid his feet well forcing Khris to take a contested midrange

Giannis post up, short hook inside of 3ft.

Jrue attacked Harden, Harden flopped, Jrue with an open floater

Giannis post up on Harden, settled for a contested turnaround jumper

Giannis post up attack Green

Jrue attacked, dished to Lopez for a dunk

Khris attacked, dished to Giannis but he fumbled the catch


The Bucks attacked in 15/18 possession. Either you didn't watch and just got your info from a bunch of social media comments or you're clueless. Did you really think that it's that easy if the Bucks just attacked lol. I know you think the Nets can't defend but still, the stats and vids are out there even before g5, there's a proof that they don't have turnstile defense. You're making it sound simple like they're playing streetfigher and all the Bucks needed to do was attack.

Bucks ISO'ing and not having ball/man movement in the 4th made them a lot easier to defend.

Bench is not that important in the playoffs. Coaches usually shortened their rotation to 8. Bucks had one of the best bench if not the best in the last two seasons before this and look what happened. Bud got shit on for not playing his starters more minutes and shortening his rotation. Raptors had the best bench in 2018 and fucking Ennis and Scott outplayed them in the playoffs. Heat had one of the best bench last year and Spo ended up with a 7-8 man rotation in the playoffs. Jazz have the best bench this year and they've shortened their rotation to 8. Green, Clax and Brown/Shamet are enough with all of their starters healthy.

Saying naw to them passing the ball more, running different sets and hunting Harden is the dumbest thing ever. ISO'ing the entire 4th and no ball/man movement made them easier to defend.

Here's what they did in the 4th:

Jrue iso step back 3 vs Harden

Jrue attacked but Brown was able to stay infront ending in turn around jumpshot in the post

Giannis layup after attacking Green

Giannis attacked but got walled off, Khris bailed them out with a 3.

Giannis post up attack missed a short hook

Giannis attacked, offensive foul

Jrue iso got baited to take a semi open midrange by Harden who was backing off

Khris attacked Shamet, missed short floater

Pat curled, Harden got switch on him, Pat attacked for an open layup

Jrue iso attacked KD, KD stayed infront forcing him to settle for a corner midrange

Giannis attacked from the top

Khris attacked, tried to drive on KD but KD slid his feet well forcing Khris to take a contested midrange

Giannis post up, short hook inside of 3ft.

Jrue attacked Harden, Harden flopped, Jrue with an open floater

Giannis post up on Harden, settled for a contested turnaround jumper

Giannis post up attack Green

Jrue attacked, dished to Lopez for a dunk

Khris attacked, dished to Giannis but he fumbled the catch


The Bucks attacked in 15/18 possession. Either you didn't watch and just got your info from a bunch of social media comments or you're clueless. Did you really think that it's that easy if the Bucks just attacked lol. I know you think the Nets can't defend but still, the stats and vids are out there even before g5, there's a proof that they don't have turnstile defense. You're making it sound simple like they're playing streetfigher and all the Bucks needed to do was attack.

You wrote all that just to say nothing.

You are agreeing with me but at the same time arguing against the points that you agree with. The Bucks settled. That's all to there is that.

No one disagreed that the Bucks could of done more so I don't know where you are getting that from either.

Them lacking a bench is a side note and more importantly it stands out more due to how the Nets are structured a point that's been addressed a few times already.

WELP....now we know why the Jazz have NEVER won a championship.

What an utter collapse!

I mean....put aside the fact that you were up a million points in an elimination game.

The Clippers are playing WITHOUT their best player!

For fucks sake....the CLIPPERS is the team that chokes!

They have NEVER advanced to the WCF....until now!

That was fucking hilarious.

I'm all in for the Suns....clearly the superior team in the West....the Jazz turned out to be the biggest pretenders ever!

My god.

Huh? Your reading comprehension is as bad as your basketball observation.

Your solution was they should've attacked more. I said but they did attack and told you what they should have done. You disagreed lol. I showed you every possession in the 4th proving they attacked 15/18 times.

Well, I wrote it more to highlight how bad your basketball observations are, and your solution was the most vanilla shit ever. You can't just attack and bulldoze your way cause there's this thing called "offensive foul". You can't just expect them to end in the paint with a layup or dunk if you told them to attack, and there is a shotclock. Like they "settled" 5x out of those 18 possessions. Giannis settled 1x. I don't think you have any clue about who Khris is but he's not a slasher, his game is about shooting the midrange or 3s. In their game 6 win, all but one of his fg were jumpers but you probably think he settled not knowing that's what his game is all bout. It's like asking Kyle Korver to turn into a slasher and dunk on people. I can't believe I'm even explaining this lol.

I bet you also think the Clippers settled against the Jazz because majority of their shots were jumpers and that they only have 18 FGM inside of 3ft.

LOL @ Clips

Clippers, do you know why you will ALWAYS be the butt of jokes of the Basketball world?

Because of shit like this.

It doesn't matter who you bring....you are the Clippers for a damn good reason!

@ Kawhi.....dude, you better OPT OUT this summer....because if you still think you can win with the Clippers you are fucking crazy!

And guess what....we will GLADLY Accept you in Miami....with OPEN arms.

Enough is fucking enough....the East has a much easier path to the Finals...get the fuck outta there my dude!
Welp, that didn't age well.

@Squirtroll

My stance hasn't changed tho...the Clippers ARE a joke, they ALWAYS will be a joke.

Just because the Mavs and now the Jazz choked....that doesn't change anything.

And YES, they both absolutely choked, BOTH should've won those series.

That's on them.

The Jazz in particular not only choked but for fucks sake they had the most golden of chances! Kawhi got injured and these fuckers couldn't even protect a 25 point lead?!

I'll bet any amount of money that the Suns beat the Clippers....pretty easily actually.

Should be a sweep....5 games MAX!

And yeah.....I don't want Kawhi anymore.

ACL is the WORST injury you can get.

Dude will be out the entire year...sucks for him really....but ACLs are no joke.

Go ask Rose and Klay about ACLs.

I did pick the Lakers over the Suns because....goddamn you have the BEST player on the planet and you're the defending champs, you SHOULD have won!

I guess you can say the Davis injury really set them back....because if that injury doesn't happen, maybe they do win that series.

Suns look like the BEST team remaining right now and as long as CP3 stays healthy they SHOULD win it.

I don't trust the Nets at all, even BEFORE the injuries....and NO I don't trust your team either, not even a little bit.
