2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

[ShelC]

Knicks hit the wall today.

[Mori Chu]

With every Thibs-coached team, I just hold my breath waiting for them to inevitably run out of gas. I haven't been tracking the minutes for their starters but I bet they're high.

[ShelC]

It's not Thibs. Yea the guys are playing a ton of minutes now, but only because they have to. No Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, Mitch Robinson or Bojan Bogdanovic. That's their starting frontcourt and a major piece off the bench. Their depth has allowed them to stay afloat so far, but the injuries were going to catch up eventually. And the injuries weren't even because of Thibs' minutes. Randle's shoulder was a flukey kind of fall, Mitch has had foot/ankle problems throughout his career, Bojan fell on his wrist and OG's always got some kind of injury going on.

[TOO]

I don't know how anyone can watch the Wolves and not think they're playing better than anyone right now.

Vibe check.

[TOO]

Anthony Edwards is a stud.

[TOO]

That was a hilarious end of the quarter for Denver. Killed all the momentum.

[Mori Chu]

Nuggets had a crazy end of their first half.

Still playing better than Boston.

If they come back and win I might give you that.

I don't know how he got that pass thru/around KAT and Gobert. And Gobert just looked so defeated afterwards.

It's like it's deja vu and just happened again...

[Flagrant Fowl]

Coach of the Year Mark Daigneault still playing Lu Dort and Josh Giddey big minutes together is going to get his team eliminated.

I have no idea why he keeps doing it when we've seen plenty of evidence of Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace being better options.

It's really dumb, like Frank Vogel dumb.

[TOO]

They sure run a lot of stuff for Dort.

[Superbone]

They sure run a lot of stuff for Dort.

Maybe we can do the same for Okogie next season.

*Crosses fingers*

Remember that week where Okogie was making jumpers like he belonged in the NBA? Good times.

[Gladiator]

I only caught the last 7 minutes but the Thunder showed more poise down the stretch and Daigneault Mainly pulled the right strings. Advantage OKC again and Dallas would really be feeling like they gave one away.

Chris Paul’s influence on SGA was huge. They now have quite the composed team for being as young as they are.

[In2ition]

The Thunder are super corny, and Dallas lost that game by not being able to make their free throws. I'm not a supporter of the foul merchant.
