NBA Playoffs 2023

I’d rather play the Knicks I think

Hard for Knicks to win without Randle

One of the biggest reasons MIA underachieved in the regular season was that their offense looked mediocre for long stretches and they had trouble shooting the 3. Their defense was usually still fine, but they couldn't score as much.

Well, all of a sudden it seems like they are finding their groove. Strus, Vincent, Martin. Hell even Robinson is now coming in and knocking down some shots. Butler is Playoff Butler as usual, Bam has been solid (and probably now healthier than last series), and so has Lowry. It's only Game 1 but they've looked really good so far on the road again today

Still got NYK in 7 even if Miami wins today. But it's a pretty evenly matched series IMO. Miami is missing Herro, but today Knicks are missing Randle.

Gabe Vincent stepping up again today. 17pts already.

Spo has turned Brunson into a jump shooter. Unless that changes this is over in 5 or 6.

Btw, I notice Fournier doesn't even play anymore. Lol. I still remember in 2021 when people were dreaming for him to be our 3rd option on the team. Ugh.

[Who]

Why are so many Knicks fans in the crowd wearing the #4 jersey? Who is #4? Is that a present player or a past player?

Edit: Nevermind. Google said it was some guy Jericho Sims but it is actually D-Rose. Google telling lies & confusing me.

Well there goes Jimmy Butler too. It's been a tough postseason for injured stars

Robinson sucks lol. It’s not too late to edit him out of this 0-5 and only negative plus minus on team.

Not today but last series he did come in some games and made some big buckets

Butler ankle be swell tomorrow so be interesting now

[Who]

I did not know Gabe Vincent could score. He has been one of the worst PGs in the league on the offensive side of the floor for the last two years. He stayed in games by being a terrific defensive guard.

So he can score ... he just can't pass or run an offense.

Not that he needs to with Jimmy, Bam and Lowry there to organize and run the offense. To do the majority of playmaking. They let Gabe be a scorer.

[CelticSooner]

My guess is Butler misses Game 2. That gives him 5 days to rest that ankle.

[Birdman]

Bam makes a huge difference in the middle.. just his presence changing shots is huge

[Who]

It's awesome to see Lowry out there still contributing and helping his team deep into the playoffs. Nice to see the old guys still be effective and helping their teams. Even when in a smaller role.
