NBA Playoffs 2019-2020

This Lakers game is showing us how important vets off the bench are in the playoffs. Rondo and Morris are the difference so far tonight.

The only real VET on the Celtics is Kemba.

I would add Hayward and Smart to that list

No VETS on the Celtics... not even the Coach. Kemba, and that is it.

Yes to Hayward, but he is not playing. Smart is still a young player IMO.

Long game left. Lead cut to 13 now.

Rockets vet PJ Tucker off the bench bringing them back in this game.

But Rondo was one of the reasons they lost game 1.

[Ogaju]

Westbrook is a bad influence Rockets should get rid of him.

[Phantom255x]

I'm surprised Harden's only taken 3 shots to this point. But Rockets hanging in there, lead down to 10

[GreenFaith1819]

There is NO WAY LAL will maintain this pace, lol.

LeBron and Co will be sucking wind here in a bit.

This ain't Showtime.

[Phantom255x]

Lol Westbrook returns, LAL goes on a 9-0 run. Surprise!

I wish Celtics drafted Herro

I'm fine with missing out on Herro. His T-Rex arms help him excel at shooting, but make him a below average defender.

height w/o shoes: 6' 4.5''
height w/ shoes: 6' 6''
wingspan: 6' 3.25''

Desmond Bane 6'6" w/shoes
wingspan 6'5"
44% from 3
220lbs

"Desmond Bane (6-5, 22, TCU)
I have already done some work on Bane, who I believe will be one of the best role players to emerge from this class. As a senior, Bane shot 44.2% from the outside, and he did so on 6.5 attempts per game. Those numbers helped Bane reach the 96th percentile in half-court opportunities. Bane also did all of that while being the top option for TCU, and a guy that spent a rather significant amount of time on the ball. With somebody else creating for him, and teams likely to have to focus on stopping better offensive weapons, there’s a decent chance Bane feasts on open looks in the pros.

On top of his ability to space the floor, Bane is also a decent creator off the dribble. And he’s also a remarkable team defender, which is why I believe he’ll be one of the best values of this draft."

There are other examples too. For instance, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk of the Pistons.

height w/o shoes: 6'6.5"
height w/ shoes: 6'7.75"
wingspan: 6'4.75"
3P% this season: 40.4 in 5.1 attempts per game

If you ask me, I'd rather have S. Bey or Nesmith over Bane.

Lol Westbrook returns, LAL goes on a 9-0 run. Surprise!

Right out of the half, 9-0 run Rockets. Rockets only down 7 now

Westbrook is pulling a Jaylen Brown tonight

Getting soundly trounced by Rondo

Also Kanter? Unfortunately, he's been a liability on the floor this series.

[SparzWizard]

Of course, the Lakers would win that challenge. How a blocking foul should be a "charge" and then became a loose ball foul on Russell Westbrook lol
