2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Who]

It is nice to finally see Eric Gordon again. He was killing it in the first half. Then his coached iced him from the game. He was one of their best players tonight.

E Gordon came out with 8min still to play in Q2. He is only getting back in now late in Q3. Despite being of their best players tonight. Terrible decision by the coach.

He might still be hurt but Haliburton looks like a complete shell of himself from the first half of the year, especially that in-season tournament run. He's also scared to shoot now which is odd

[Who]

MIL getting a lot of friendly whisltes. Refs looking out for them tonight. Getting away with clear defensive fouls. Getting touch calls on the other end.

I don't disagree ... but still, I feel like crying whenever he doesn't have the ball. He is only guy I trust on that team to make good decisions tonight. Everything works better when he touches it.

McConnell was awful. Nembhard invisible. Siakam constantly breaks the offense and goes one-on-one. He'll get his but nobody does.

Haliburton is the only guy getting others involved.

I mean that's kind of my point. You're right, but part of that is also him shooting the ball and scoring points for the Pacers. It can't all be Siakam. Haliburton needs to provide it as well.

That was a pretty good half from the Pacers. Hope they have a stronger 2nd half to seal it.

[Who]

Feels like Siakam is having a "big-boy" moment beating up on Milwaukee while Giannis is out. Connaughton, Portis, an old broken down Middleton, an old broken down Crowder.

If Giannis comes back, Siakam will disappear. Siakam has never been able to cover Giannis one-on-one.

[Who]

Stupid foul by Towns

He has been brilliant in boosting Minny's offense in Q3.

I keep forgetting Bradley Beal is on this Suns team. But it's pretty easy to forget since he feels mostly like a non-factor for them. Also injured quite often during the season. Definitely not Wizards-Beal but that's expected with the other talented guys on the team (Booker, KD)

I'll admit he's doing well for them defensively today though.

Beal doesn't get enough touches / shots next to Booker and Durant. Those medium efficiency high volume scorers like Beal do not make good 3rd options. Bad fit.

[Who]

This is not a "oh the Wolves are so great on defense" situation. We've watched this exact same level of confusion and discombobulated play from these same players not matter who they're up against.

Our big three are a complete waste of money. If they can't play when it counts then trade them all. We can use the money for young hungry kids who play hard! At least that would be entertaining.

Durant and Booker should both be traded if they lose this series. Neither has stepped up to this point in a Game 2 they desperately need. Why pay over $100 million for them when guys making less than half are clearly outplaying them on both ends. Walker and McDaniels are outplaying Durant and Booker on offense and shutting them down on defense

Smells like a sweep. This team is just bad. The decision to not have a real point guard is looking disastrous!

I know it’s the obvious but I can’t believe this far along in the year we look like a team without a plan or scheme still. Just clunky basketball all around

I am enjoying the Suns comments!

[Who]

Booker has been so sloppy tonight ... and he's still been the best of their Big 3.

[Who]

What the heck type of offensive set was that?

Booker just held the ball for like 8-10 secs and didn't move.

[Phantom255x]

There's the Pacers we've seen before. Quick and athletic to start the 3rd, now up 11.

The Bucks are old, the young Pacers legs should be able to outrun them and kill them in transition

[blink]

McDaniels just really playing well for the TWolves....
Suns look really bad.

[jpotter33]

Man, that Minny/Denver series is going to be fire.

If the Wolves’ role players are going to score like this, they have a legit shot of knocking off Denver with that elite D.
