NBA Playoffs 2021

Looks like Milwaukee will be well-rested and will get to game-plan against Brooklyn. Will be interesting to see how their 1 superstar will stop all 3 of them plus the refs.

This Celtic series isn't over.

True! The Celtics win tomorrow it's an even series.

Aaron Gordon isn't giving Denver much.

Portland is now running circles around Denver.

We got the right Orlando guy in my book with Fournier (shout out to Nick, TP).
Shooting is such an essential asset.

Won't be easy, but you'd think Brook Lopez and Giannis (and a little bit of Portis) could also cause problems for Brooklyn as their frontcourt is mediocre. Timelord when healthy has feasted on them and hell, even Grant Williams last night looked pretty good. Blake Griffin is cooked. I don't know if they have much depth in the frontcourt either.

Also, who's guarding Middleton and Holiday? The Nets defender is Durant and he's going to have his hands full.

 I'm still not counting the Cs out! The Nets are flawed.

I'd be ecstatic if the C's can tie it up tomorrow, but I give them a 7% chance of winning the series. Tatum will have to be putting up 48+ each night to keep it close and/or win. Survived one night with the refs burying us down.

The upside to tomorrow's game is it's a night game and not an early afternoon game. And 17k fans in attendance.

Hopefully Blazers win the next 3 games. Gotta make sure the Lakers don't get an easy path

This announcing crew is gushing all over Javale McGee

[gouki88]

Man, D-Rose :'|

This guy. He was 62% from the field today, 30 points, 60% from 3.

Is there any world in which we swap Kemba for him?

He's a free agent! If we could offload Kemba to New York and throw some money his way...

I wanted us to trade for him before NYK got him

He'd be insanely good with our team.

I think him, or Rondo, or MAYBE CP3. Even tho I don't like CP.

No interest in having Derrick Rose on my team

Haha - care to elaborate?

I’m curious too. He’s old and a bit injury-prone, and isn’t spectacular on defence, but he seems to be a good quiet leader and positive locker room presence. As well as a 6MOY candidate.

Am I missing / forgetting something?

I guess it's because most of his offensive value comes on the ball? Kemba also needs the ball to maximise his skillset, but he can cut, run off screens and attack quickly off the catch, which complements the Jays pretty nicely.

That's fair, I would want D-Rose off the bench because he can't really handle high minutes or run an offence like that. It just sounded like Pho had something more deep-seated against Rose

What? Big Chungus is more difficult to handle than Dame.

Jimmy Butler in this playoff series against Milwaukee:

14.5PPG, 7.5RPG, 7APG, 29.6% from the field, 26.7% from 3. Imagine how posters would be if Tatum or Brown put up such a stinker of a series...

Eh I don't want to trade Kemba for a 6th man (albeit high-level). I think there's something that Kemba can offer even as a 3rd option that the trades you lot are proposing can't give us.

Might be the assumption that Portland is better suited because they're relatively healthy? A real shame, because that lineup with Gordon alongside Jokic, Murray and MPJ was nasty
