2019 NBA Playoffs
Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round
Brett Brown has been schooling Nick Nurse (that's a lot of alliteration.)
Go Suns!

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round
It's crazy how no matter how many overtimes there are, no coach ever rests his starters at all. They're so worried these days about limiting players' minutes but then when OTs happen, it's like that concern no longer exists. The two coaches should have called a truce and put in their bench players for at least some of it lol.

They have Pascal Siakam. But I can totally see Leonard leaving regardless of what the Raps do.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2019 10:04 amI thought for sure the ECF would be Milwaukee/Toronto. But almost nobody has shown up for the Raptors. Gasol hasn't given them what they need and Lowry is performing his annual postseason choke job. I feel bad for the franchise because this lackluster playoff performance is probably guaranteeing that Kawhi will leave. If they had gone to the Finals, say, wouldn't he have to at least consider staying and being part of a perennial Finals team? But now with nobody really stepping up rather than a rookie, I don't see any chance that he stays. Poor Raps. In the long run they probably should have just kept DeMar who loved the city and wanted to retire a Raptor.

True. I might think twice about taking Leonard out if I were Nurse. They seem to completely fall apart when he's out.JeremyG wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2019 12:12 pmIt's crazy how no matter how many overtimes there are, no coach ever rests his starters at all.

Siakam was the "rookie" to whom I was referring. But why would Leonard stay just for Siakam?Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2019 12:29 pmThey have Pascal Siakam.

Siakam is in his 3rd year
Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round
He's having a breakout season. The media didn't really talk about him at all previously.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 2:21 amOh god. I feel so stupid. I don't know if I just had him mixed up with a different player or what. But I honestly thought he was new this year. Sorry about that.

He was taken 23 picks after Bender and 19 picks after Chriss.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round
Is anybody else rooting for the Sixers? It might be helpful for Monty to keep getting deeper playoff experience.

I'm rooting for Toronto.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round
I still find myself rooting for Toronto. IOW, the Williams hire didn’t affect who I’m rooting for. In fact selfishly, I think it’d be better for the Suns for him to get knocked out earlier so he can start concentrating on our situation.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round
Kawhi has been unreal in the playoffs
Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round
If we end up with Ja in the draft, both Millsap and Aminu make some sense as FA targets.
Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round
I think Millsap has one more year on his deal.

I was joking. It was pretty much rhetorical.

Re: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round
Congrats to Denver for tying up the series and making it a best 2 out of 3. These two teams are soooo evenly matched.
