2019 NBA Playoffs
Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
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.
Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
Connaughton has been really good for them all playoffs long. I think he should get more of Bledsoe's minutes.Split T wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 12:55 pmBledsoe 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.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
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?

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
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
Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
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.

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

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

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
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.

It's because he's quiet. That means nothing though. His uncle causes all the drama on his behalf.INFORMER wrote:I can't believe Barkley said Kawhi is a drama-free superstar. And none of the other guys called him on it.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
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.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
I feel for the League, though. The Freak is coming back next year with a vengeance and is totally gonna learn how to shoot.
Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
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.Ring_Wanted wrote:I feel for the League, though.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
I hope so...if they play the whole series like they did these last 4 games, they just might make it a series.Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2019 12:11 amDid you see FVV denying Giannis his way to the rim? Amazing.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
Not really. I'm glad the Raps have at least a little time to rest up.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs
Yea I figured they would start on Tuesday but glad the Raps are getting some rest since the Ws have been waiting around.
