Speaking of Jaylen Brown's AST:TOV ratio and how he has a negative on in this series against Philly with 19 assistst against 22 turnovers.

Well, Cade Cunningham finished with 38 assists against 37 turnovers for that series against Orlando. A 1:1 AST:TOV ratio.

Tatum has Cade beat with 41 dimes to 17 giveaways. Nearly a 2.5:1.0 ratio. Tatum has more assists with under half the turnovers that Cade just had in that series.

Cade did average 32ppg compared to 24.5ppg for Jaylen and 23.3ppg for Tatum. So he was outscoring them. And he did have less offensive help around him than either one of our Celtics had. Still, that is a shocking number of turnovers & AST:TOV ratio for Cade. Their PG and maestro. Neither Tatum or Jaylen are BOS' PG.

More turnovers than assists for JB. For the love of god, Please take the ball out of his hands.  :blank:

Durant being out probably saves Ime, but idk. This Rockets offense is just not built for the postseason and I don't think Udoka is gonna change that. Maybe the front office can add shooters and another high-end player somehow, but it's been the same story for a while now. It's not just the stats, they are brutal to watch and at times the defense keeps them in the games but they just have trouble scoring.

Would Austin Reaves be the best player on the Rockets?

I mean the Rockets without Durant. A Reaves or Sengun? Which guy is more valuable? I am leaning Reaves over Sengun.

Cade is not done with his series.  One more game.

Sucks. LA gets to move on to the second round while Boston in all likelihood gets eliminated tomorrow night.

Rockets scored 78pts in an elimination game against a team that is mediocre defensively. Can?t believe that people still wish Ime was the coach in Boston. He did the Celtics a favor. They would have never won with him. Wouldn?t at all be surprised if the Rockets fire Udoka.

They did almost won with Ime until the Jays blew the 4th quarter of Game 4 of the 2022 Finals

So 3 of the 4 East series are going 7 games
While 0 of the 4 West playoff series went 7.

OKC swept. Spurs in 5. Lakers & Wolves in 6.
Knicks in 6 in the East.

West Semis will go no more than 5 each, either.

The Pistons are so reliant on Cade it is hard to get a real read in the turnovers.  He does everything for them. The Pistons have 2 real needs, a competent 2nd scorer and a competent ball handler.  Just someone who can bring the ball up the court thst isnt Cade would do wonders for them.  Cade just has to do too much.  He is a great player so it works a lot, but it does wear him down and he does make some bad turnovers.

I wonder why, Jeanie.  :P

Jeanie Buss: I mean, in order to trade somebody like Anthony Davis, it would have to be with approval. Not only that, but a first round draft pick and certainly getting a player of Luka's caliber and being at the beginning end of his career was just an extraordinary opportunity, but it required a lot of strategy and a lot of small steps in order to pull it off. and Rob Pelinka, our general manager, was able to do that all without leaking to the media because I think Mark Cuban might have jumped in front of a train to keep it from happening.

I think they will go no more than 4 each. Luka probably ain't coming back until Game 3 probably. They have no answer for the fast pace and depth of OKC.

Wolves are banged up and have no answer for the dynamic Spurs.
