NBA Season 2021-22

Wonder if Doc has another chokejob in him.

He could become the first coach to blow a 3-0 series lead...

That would be fitting for a guy that is most famous for the 3-1 choke jobs.

Harden 35 minutes... 9 points

I completely overestimated how good he would be for Philly. He is just so self-sabotaging

If he was mediocre in the reg season you can pretty kuch expect him to stink in the playoffs. That's one guy who always perform worse in the playoffs

Has a coach ever been fired during a playoff series?   Think they've got some good assistants like Dave Joerger who could take over.

Yeah, clearly the odds are against it but the door is open here.  Toronto has game 6 at home and anything can happen in a game 7.

Props to Toronto. They are not going silently into the night… unfortunately, I think Chicago will be. Not sure about Atlanta.

He's been on a decline the last couple years. Hes older, poorly conditioned, and has suffered due to the league easing up on hand checking/contact etc.

Honestly Philly was hit garbage tonight. They are gonna get crushed by Miami if they make it that far.

I know Morant took a big time jump up in production, but I really have a hard time with giving a superstar the Most Improved Player award.  That always just seemed like an award for a bench guy that becomes a starter, not for a top 2 pick in his 3rd year.

[kraidstar]

Kyrie is predictably blaming circumstance for the Nets' lack of consistency. Naturally he fails to mention his central role in that due to refusing the vaccine and driving Harden out of town.

Also really isn't giving the C's credit.

Yeah I seriously need to rethink my vote for Philly as the toughest team other than us left....
really taking a dump at home up 3-1 in a close out game?

if Toronto gets this to a game 7 watch out.

[keevsnick]

Imagine if Toronto had been able to pull out game three. Or if they hadn't dealt with the Barnes and now FVV injuries.

Yea, harden looks even more cooked than I thought a month ago.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant honored as NBA's Most Improved Player after All-Star year-ESPN

He absolutely should not have won it. Bane, Murray, Poole or Simons were all more deserving.

Meanwhile KD is a class act in his post-series comments. Most Nets fans now want Kyrie gone ASAP.

[jpotter33]

Doncic making Gobert look silly, but Gobert should've won DPOY, right? We just watched Smart and the C's take on two of the greatest scorers in NBA history, and I can't remember once where Smart was made to look like that.
