2025 NBA Playoffs
Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
Why was OKC fouling so quickly? Denver was out of timeouts and Caruso is fouling on the inbounds pass in the backcourt. Could have easily taken 4-5 seconds off by just pressuring in the backcourt and fouling at half court. Denver doesn’t have enough time to get that AG shot if OKC manages that clock better.

It’s very predictable that a young team is going to choke under pressure to a championship team.

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
Everyone looks beatable right now. Still think it’ll ultimately be OKC vs Boston but I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t.
Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
Never underestimate the heart of a champion? Still...it's one game.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
You should also think twice about playing the "foul-up-3" game if your team is made up of young guys who might choke and who aren't great at FT shooting in general, and the other team IS composed of guys who are pretty good at FT shooting, and who are savvy veterans. Easy to second-guess it since it didn't work, but seeing Chet miss two straight FTs made me wonder why they thought a Jokic-vs-Chet free throw contest was a good idea.Split T wrote: ↑Mon May 05, 2025 9:31 pmWhy was OKC fouling so quickly?

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
Ya they need to get the ball to SGA for those fts…the foul also let Denver put Jokic back in. Nuggets had no timeouts and Jokic was going to be stuck on the bench for the final 10 seconds. I’d have lived with a game tying 3 at that point…or fouled late in the clock if the opportunity presented itself.

Jalen Williams better get his act together or he's never gonna beat the allegations. He was terrible.
Love, Hurts.
Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
Ya, maybe he’ll be awful and they’ll trade him to us in a KD trade
Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
Yes, but on the other side you have a team that is very young and inexperienced still, versus the veteran championship team. I like my bet.

Remember how we could have had Haliburton?

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
WOW, another crazy finish. Tyrese Haliburton secures a crucial offensive rebound and drains a clutch 3 with 1.1 sec left to give Indy the win by 1 point. Indy goes up 2-0 over Cleveland. Insane.
Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
That was insane…how did Cleveland blow that?

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
Championship teams know how to execute down the stretch. Cavs didn't play the defense necessary down the stretch to get wins in this series so far.

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs
Cavs gave up two offensive rebounds and had two turnovers in the final 48 seconds that led to the 8-0 run for Indy to win it.
