i hate timeouts like that

 

[3JORN]

great 1st game!

 

[RBelong2Us]

LeBron looking old AF

 

[mjp2417]

Cavs still look really vulnerable

 

[Gigglepoo]

So close...

 

[Bread]

Damn clue got lucky

It really was a terrible timeout. The could've still set up something, it's not like they drew anything up lol wtf.

 

[Hyperactivity]

i hate timeouts like that

Yeah. If you want Lue to be bad at designing a set, sure, but Nate McMillan is NOT gonna be good at designing an out of timeout set, and he's not going to be better than Lebron. Other coaches, sure, but not McMillan

 

[Tall4Life]

Damn clue got lucky

If this is the Cav team we have to worry about, we got nothing to fear Bread

Jinxing yourself

 

[bbd23]

ah well

time for my raps baby

 

[Fjordson]

Well shit. Pacers almost did it.

 

[LyleLanley]

Jinxing yourself

It's the classic double reverse jinx.

 

[Servbot24]

Dang so close!

 

[Redd]

Hmmmmmmm.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Both teams were on fire today. Either that or both had bad defense lol

 

[Hyperactivity]

Time for the series with the most exciting players. Could be the funnest one in the East (most tense is probably gonna be Pacers-Cavs though)

 

[LyleLanley]

What the hell happened here, are posts out of order?

 

[Iadien]

Good win. Kyrie missed a ton of shots, the Cavs missed a lot of FTs, and PG played great.

 

[white dynamite]

My body is ready for Magic Giannision.

 

[RiggityRice]

Great game. Tough loss for the pacers but damn that defense needs work. Too many switches and miscommunication. Team look lost on defense most of the time.

 

[Fjordson]

Both teams were on fire today. Either that or both had bad defense lol

A little of both. Neither team is great on D (and Cleveland is straight up bad).

 

[Tall4Life]

Jinxing yourself

the BOSSton doesn't get jinxed baby girl

 

[Hyperactivity]

Giannis in transition should just be an automatic 2 points. He might easily claim the title of greatest transition player of all time

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol cav

what the fuck was that

 

[Hyperactivity]

The ACC is always so loud

 

[darkwing-buck]

Hope the bucks beat these fucking dinosaurs.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

I'm not saying LeBron is playing with trash but dude, the Cavs have a worse record than a team that's centered around a 5'9" dude, a team that was also greatly affected by injuries throughout the season.

Two all stars dude, and JR and TT. That's one of the best teams in the NBA if you give it to Lebron, Curry, KD, or Kawhi. I think the main issue this year is coasting and Lue seems like a dumbass.

Robert Horry >>> MJ

The team is crap without Bron, come on

You clearly understand what I meant and why that's a garbage example. You can't be as good as MJ when you have 2/3rd of the rings he does and basically spent your career making super teams to compete because you couldn't do shit at your original team. The idea that people should feel bad for Bron's team with 2 all stars is cringe worthy.

But it's the Warriors on the other side.

Warriors are stupidly stacked, and I blame KD for pulling that ish but you can't have it both ways. Circle jerk about how great he is and then complain when he plays a team that is supposed to be better but can't beat them. That's what you expect out of the one of the best players of all time. Lebron somehow seems to get praised for doing what one of the GOATs is supposed to do and LeExcuses come out when he doesn't.

Saying that, Bron putting PG to work in this game, and they still somehow almost lost. Defense is going to need more time to sort itself out for PS for Cavs. Pacers Cavs might be fun as hell 5-6 game series if PG goes mental at home for a game or two.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Why are both of these teams facing each other already?

I want more Bucks and more Raptors dammit

 

[Lee Chaolan]

We need more Delly

Yeah, this matchup is great!

They didn't guard each other whatsoever, was really odd

 

[panthapanda]

Yeah LeBron definitely wasn't guarding PG. Smith had the assignment lol.

LeBron was on Ellis.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Smith on PG13 was begging for a lost at home. No idea what was happening there.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Yeah, this matchup is great!

The only drawback is that the Raptors tend to be more methodical about things, and a part of me wants to see Giannis score 50 just from transition points, something he would probably be more likely to pull off against the Celtics or Wizards

 

[Dynomutt]

Kyrie a damn thief that game. Had a feeling it was going to be close.

 

[white dynamite]

Smith on PG13 was begging for a lost at home. No idea what was happening there.

Luckily McMillan decided to combat that by leaving Teague out to dry on defense.

HOLY GYRO GIANNIS

 

[Hyperactivity]

Smith on PG13 was begging for a lost at home. No idea what was happening there.

Lebron was mainly playing help defense, and also maybe wanted to avoid it becoming a one on one Lebron vs Paul George duel? Try and focus on the two's teammates?

Idk, I really want to see those two guard each other, they always go off and it's one of the few cases where you see both stars just go back and forth

 

[Hyperactivity]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST GIANNIS

 

[Surfinn]

Lol

"WHAT A MANLY MOVE!"

 

[Hyperactivity]

As soon as the Bucks hit a 10 pt lead, they sign their execution papers. ESPECIALLY if it's down 10 in the 1st quarter or half.

 

[Mrbob]

Gus Johnson on the local fox sports feed. Bye ESPN.

 

[Redd]

Jason Kidd still looks like he could play a few minutes off the bench.

 

[white dynamite]

I'm happy that Monroe was able to carve himself a role on the bench squad. I thought he was gonna be gone for sure at the beginning of the season.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Damn Greek Easter festivities keeping me from seeing my boy Giannis balling out.

Is play off Delly activated?

Hopefully. He put CoJo on the barbie on one of his first plays.

 

[Barrage]

What is this teams identity?

Raps: "Being tough. Not quitting. Dying on the court."

*Raps get bullied the entire first quarter*

 

[Hyperactivity]

I'm happy that Monroe was able to carve himself a role on the bench squad. I thought he was gonna be gone for sure at the beginning of the season.

Unlike the comparable minute limited big men, like Kanter or JV, Monroe has also really stepped up his defense this year. Helps they have players that have the length to take over guarding bigs if necessary
