I think it's coaching at this point. Bud isn't putting anyone in a position to succeed. The roster also doesn't seem to mesh well and feels like a collection of nice players moreso than a team.
I'm happy the Clips won last night just so that series is extended a bit. Hopefully we can take care of Denver and get some rest in. I'm really not overly impressed with either the Clips or the Jazz - tho from a matchup standpoint they're interesting to watch. The Clips are more talented at the swing positions, the Jazz more talented at PG and C but also have better balance with Bojan, Ingles and Clarkson off the bench. There's serious dropff tho when you get to Niang and O'Neal and Favors kind of is what he is.

I'm not going to worry about who comes out of the series. Just like the team didn't when it came to the Lakers. I am feeling more and more confident that we can beat anybody. Anyway, stick to what we can control. It's been a hell of a ride.ShelC wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 6:17 amI think it's coaching at this point. Bud isn't putting anyone in a position to succeed.

I'd rather play the Jazz. Leonard and Paul are a match-up problem for us, and Rondo LOATHES CP3. He always seems to cause problems for the Suns and Paul with his chippy play. So, I want the Jazz to win from here on in. OTOH, the Suns roster and offense is basically custom built to neutralize Gobert.ShelC wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 6:17 amI think it's coaching at this point.

See I feel like we easily have the bodies with Bridges, Jae, Craig, and Cam to defend PG and Kawhi plus clear advantages at point guard and center.
The Jazz are kind of the opposite as we'd have to gameplan around Mitchell and then stay out on their perimeter shooters, which we've shown we can do. If you can make Gobert their 2nd best player, you're in a good spot.

I would definitely choose the Jazz if we had home court. Still, you might be right.Wormwood wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 12:14 pmI'd rather play the Jazz.

Watching the Nets and Bucks beat the **** out of each other. Harden's wounded, Kyrie's down, PJ Tucker got laid out by Blake Griffin.
If we make the finals, I think we should be heavily favored against the Bucks. With the Nets, we should be underdogs if they're healthy, even odds if they are missing one of the big three, and favored if still missing two of them.

Out for the rest of the game .. no Harden and no Irving for the Nets is a game changer, to state the obvious.

Wow. Nets just pulled their starters with 4 min left, down 17. Kyrie out with ankle injury. 2-2 series. Huge for the Bucks. Bucks big 3 (Giannis, Middleton, Jrue) all look great today.

Right after JVG got done saying why they shouldn’t. That was kind of amusing.
If the Nets are felled by injuries, the championship is wide open. A healthy Nets team is the only one I don’t think we can beat.

The Bucks will win this series if Kyrie and harden can’t go…I imagine Kyrie is out for a bit, but I won’t be surprised if Harden comes back soon.

If we make it to the Finals, my preferred opponent would be Philadelphia. I think we could destroy them, especially if Ayton keeps playing with intensity.
