2019 NBA Playoffs

[Mori Chu]

So glad we got rid of Bledsoe. Seeing him suck it up on the Bucks is a real reminder that he was not the one. What a low ceiling we would have had if we had committed big money to him as our starting PG for years to come.

Bledsoe is fine if he sticks to his role...taking big shots should not be part of that. Middleton only had 6 points last night...don’t imagine that will happen again.

Simmons suggested starting Hill, Brogdon, Middleton, Giannis, Lopez. Only use Bledsoe and Connaughton off the bench...and just to give short breaks. Said Giannis should play all 48.

Connaughton has been really good for them all playoffs long. I think he should get more of Bledsoe's minutes.

[Split T]

Wow, Bledsoe is awful right now...everyone else is on fire though, so bucks are fine. I’ve tried to defend Bledsoe a bit on here, because he did play well for them this year(all defensive team) but he’s just ugly on offense right now. Milwaukee might be regretting that extension

Raps going to the finals huh? Anyone giving them a punchers chance?

[Split T]

When they turn it on, their defense is impressive. They had stretches against Milwaukee and philly where they just locked them down. GS presents a different challenge though with all the elite shooting they have. I’m gonna say warriors in 5

Maybe I'm imagining all of this, but even in the midst of all this playoff success, Kawhi still seems like he has his bags packed.

[Flagrant Fowl]

There's no way he's staying in Toronto.

[INFORMER]

I can't believe Barkley said Kawhi is a drama-free superstar. And none of the other guys called him on it.

[Mori Chu]

Congrats to the Raptors. I thought Giannis would go into superhero mode and will the Bucks to a Game 7, but maybe he isn't ready to do that yet. The Raps have a nice team, but I just don't see any way that they'll be a serious challenge to the Warriors. I think this is a five-game Finals with the Raps winning one game in Toronto between Games 3-4.

And I do think Kawhi leaves. Not sure why he'd rather play for a mediocre Western team than go to the Finals in the East every year, but whatever.

[Superbone]

Congrats to Toronto and their fans for their first ever NBA Finals appearance.

[Shabazz]

Go, Canada!

Raps have home court.

It's because he's quiet. That means nothing though. His uncle causes all the drama on his behalf.

It's always the quiet ones.

Did you see FVV denying Giannis his way to the rim? Amazing.

I believe these Raps are more than a 4-1 team vs W's without KD at 100%. Kawhi rules. Siakam. Lowry is clicking. Their crew is just right (Danny Green though). Marc is going to be capital.

[Ring_Wanted]

I feel for the League, though. The Freak is coming back next year with a vengeance and is totally gonna learn how to shoot.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with contracts. They have to resign Middleton. They probably don't make it past Boston without Hill showing up. Then of course there is our own interest in Brogdon and decisions on their big shooters, Lopez and Mirotic.

I hope so...if they play the whole series like they did these last 4 games, they just might make it a series.

Anyone annoyed the finals doesn't start until Thursday?

[Superbone]

Not really. I'm glad the Raps have at least a little time to rest up.

Yea I figured they would start on Tuesday but glad the Raps are getting some rest since the Ws have been waiting around.
