NBA 2019 Playoffs Thread

Toronto are relying too much on Kawhi and Siakam, those 2 have scored like 70+% of their points this series, they’re not getting much from the rest of their starters and nothing from their bench.

If this keeps up I will be the firs to admit I was wrong on and have underestimated Philly. As it is, they are completely dominating Toronto right now, and Toronto looks shellshocked. Maybe the toronto jersey outweighs who is in it.

I think Toronto is going to turn the corner every year, especially this one, but they are the same team in the playoffs every year.

I think it has a whole lot to do with their routine choker at PG. They need to get rid of Lowry, whether or not Kawhi resigns

Who would want Lowry?

I really don't know. Especially when he's owed $33.3m for next season

Random tennis comparison

Kawhi’s robotic and like a machine  both his game and demeanor, so mechanical, the Novak Djokovic of basketball.

Embiid is Gael Monfils with the clowning and undeniable talent, except Embiid’s playing the sport best suited for his talents

Philly winning’s more exciting for me regardless of the MIL C’s series outcome

Yeah, that's a heap of cash...

Very good lesson for us here - dominating Game 1 doesn't guarantee anything in a series. If we're not careful Milwaukee could easily do the same to us tomorrow.

Exactly my concern. My confidence fell back to earth when they got blown out in Game 2. Celtics now gotta treat this series like they're down 0-2.

I mean they did beat the bucks once.

It would have to be for someone also on a terrible contract or a team that strikes out completely in free agency and just wants to do something (like the Knicks or Lakers).

Never thought I would say this, but Philly is looking good.

Never thought I would say this, but Philly is looking good.

i mean... they obviously are the most talented team in the East. It’s always been their conference to lose. But mental fortitude, health, and coaching can stop them.

Aka the Boston Celtics

Who did you pick in this Bucks series?

I would love for the Lakers to pick him up

For the first time since this whole AD saga began I believe Cs really need AD. Philly has turned into a monster.

You are being prisoner of the moment. Raptors win Game 4 the narrative changes again. This series has more to do with them than anything else.

No not that at all. Though I did not watch the game, the highlights have Embiid looking like the next great NBA legend.

Agree, the last few posts have become an overreaction. They likely won't fire Brown, and we already know that Stevens owns a whole apartment block in his head.

Not to mention they have really poor floor-spacing, and we have shown time and again an ability to shrink the court and make it difficult for them. Smart is as well-suited as anyone to bother Reddick.

I'm not frightened of Philly, but seeing AD and Embiid go at it would definitely be entertaining though.

Jeeeeesh. He isn't even the best player in the series
