2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
I would say Jalen Williams and DFox are both solid number 2s. Williams was all NBA last year.
Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
Ya it’s probably JDub, but he’s missed a ton of time and the team just keeps chugging along…Caruso was actually the leading scorer for OKC last night.
The Spurs are more questionable…Fox is probably the 2nd option, but he didn’t play last night and Castle has been on his heels anyways…then of course Harper was the 2nd option last night and looks like the future 2nd option of that team.

I wonder why Wemby don't try to add a sky hook to his repertoire. He is blocked a lot for a guy his size. It would make him unstoppable.
Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
Don't give him any ideas. And why does he set screens at the FT line? Once he learns to stay near the paint, that's when he will become unstoppable.Furlanfufi wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2026 12:01 pmI wonder why Wemby don't try to add a sky hook to his repertoire.

Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.
Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
Can we figure out the just throw the ball really high and have Mark Williams guide it into the hoop play?
Williams did have a longer standing reach than Wemby. Though I get the feeling Wemby might have grown since it was measured.

Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
Earlier in the year, I thought Fox would be for sale this summer. He still might be, but it's hard to imagine them making major changes right now. We will see how the season closes out.TOO wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2026 1:05 pmThey have an embarrassment of riches at the G position.Split T wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2026 10:53 amYa it’s probably JDub, but he’s missed a ton of time and the team just keeps chugging along…Caruso was actually the leading scorer for OKC last night.

I think they’ll have to move Fox eventually as they have to start paying their rookie deal guys…but they probably have 2 years to do it

And what a comeback it was. It netted me an additional $20 as I needed more Anunoby points.Furlanfufi wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2026 8:14 pmSuns legend Landry Shamet with big buckets in the 1st NY win

Damn jeez
Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
Cavs blew it bigtime. Mobley missed 3 shots that could've helped win the game. Had a feeling heading into the 4th that the Knicks would win. They were sleepwalking while the Cavs were sharp but it felt like the Cavs would hit the wall and the Knicks would wake up. Missed opportunity and while it's just Game 1 you wonder if the Cavs can recover.
Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
Mitchell and Harden combined for 2 buckets in the 4th and OT.

Took me a second, but this is hilarious.

Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
Brunson really does look like Redd Foxx (google it). But I think he does get a lot of credit and respect around the league. If some folks think he doesn't get his due, I think the biggest reason people forget about him is that he hasn't gone very deep in the playoffs yet with the Knicks. Once he gets them to the Finals, there will be a ton of hype around him. FWIW I think a lot of NBA analysts would already put Brunson ahead of Booker, who does not happen to look like Redd Foxx.
Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
Brunson also just isn’t as good as Ant…I don’t really think there’s an argument. Don’t get me wrong, Brunson is good and can obviously take over a game like he did, but he’s a bad defensive player and he doesn’t always play like he did last night.
Ant scores more, is more efficient, and plays defense. Brunson does have more assists, but he also hogs the ball more.
Brunson I think gets his proper due. He’ll likely make the finals this year and probably get swept tbh.

Re: 2026 NBA Playoffs - Conf. Finals
They're different players but I'd go Brunson. He's just a winner and has a CP like level of feeling the game and leading. Reliable offense, he's one of the most clutch players in the league. He's been their best player since Ewing.
