The 2014 Playoffs thread

Beal had the hot hand tonight, I don't think that was a poor pass.

Wall just had a wide open 3 but he didn't take it. I wonder if he'll be criticized for it, like he was in Game 2 for taking a 3, albeit a deep one.

Indiana's complete lack of respect for his shooting reminds me of Rondo against L.A.

Which is strange, because I thought he was a decent shooter now.  35% on threes this year, though he's sucked in the postseason.  Maybe he just lacks confidence right now.

This has turned into a good game though.  Ugly, but I can dig that style of basketball.

Yeah, he's much improved. I don't know what's wrong.

That ending was terrible, looked like 2 rookie teams out there. Indiana was very lucky Wiz are young at the head.

D-Will getting into foul trouble early 

Just means he's being aggressive.  Finally.  It's taken 80+ games but this team is actually starting to play like they should.

BKN playing well as a team. Even spread of scorers, but they need to stop Lebron!

Man it seemed like KG could get that mid range jumper any time he wanted, but now that he's on the Nets it's apparent that it was all Rondo.  Williams is one of the best playmakers in the league and he's not even in the same league as Rondo.

LeBron is just in another world tonight.  I have no idea how Brooklyn is still in this game.

KG-unit!!!!!!!

He's really not having a spectacular night by LeBron's standards.  30 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist.

He can't win a thing by himself.  He's gotta be drawing double teams and getting guys involved to go anywhere in the playoffs (as well as dominate the boards).

In my opinion that was scheme as much as PG play.  Doc's system had a ton of screens and movement, and usually somebody wound up with an open look (and to Rondo's credit, he's excellent at finding the open man).  I rarely see this Brooklyn team run anything more complicated than a pick and roll or pick and pop from the top of the key.  Aside from that, it's just a lot of iso stuff from the guards and wings.

Laying fitty on Brooklyn tonight.

LeBron definitely read me talking crap about him.
