Man Denver gonna have another 10 days off,... while lakers and warriors battle with old bones....

jcmel323 · 05-01-2023, 11:38 PM

5 vs 21 FT attempts
30 vs 48 pts in the paint
that was pretty much the game...

Also a lot of ISO once CP3 was out

You forgot that they shot 19% from 3, including KD's sizzling 2-12.

Denver is 7 for 7 in fourth quarters. Won't last forever but an excellent sign for an excellent team.

I was looking at the box score this morning. Suns bench scored 4 points on 2 for 16 shooting. That’s terrible.

Didn’t you just post a quote stating Murray was the the more impactful player for Denver so far in the playoffs lol. Denver has one of the best offensive arsenals in the league that jokic can defer and dish to. The excuses he doesn’t have all star teammates is lazy.

Two more losses until the ring chaser is eliminated again.

A lot of the arguments made on a game by game basis don't hold up. When Harden has literally the best playoff game of his entire life, that's not indicative of who he's been the entire time he's been a Sixer or who he was in the first round. When Murray is coasting through the regular season, that's not indicative of who he is come playoff time.

Even with last night's dud, Murray is giving the Nuggets 26/5/7. And with last night's monster game, Harden is only good for 23/5/8. 17 PPG on 34% shooting in the first round you got from Harden. Like with Westbrook, the fact that these guys won MVPs at points in their careers is used as a strike against whichever superstar player they're playing with at the time... as if they're showing up to the 2022-23 playoffs in MVP form.

The guys doing the most with the least right now are Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. Jokic, Embiid, and Lebron have no room for support cast sympathy.

There was a lot of talk yesterday about excuses from Philly. Go figure that it's Boston making the excuses...

"I felt like we started off well offensively, but I don't think there was a sense of urgency on the defensive end," Celtics center Al Horford said after the game.

We just didn't try that hard, myyyyaaannnnn. And that hot offensive start and 66-42 scoring disparity in the paint didn't have anything to do with not having to confront Embiid at the rim. Sure, Al.

That sounds like a statement, not an excuse.

Philly guys here get triggered so easily.

I agree. I'm going with the BO criteria that everything is an excuse. I'm trying to keep up with the rules. It's not often we like to play in reality on BO.

indyguy · 05-02-2023, 09:11 AM

I still don't get how you shoot 74% from the field for a half and only lead by 3!!

gomiamigo · 05-02-2023, 10:13 AM

Jaylen Brown took 3 shots the last 3 quarters?

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice.

Also got put on skates repeatedly in h2 by Harden.

I’m really not sure what the coach was thinking. Brown was so dominant in the 1st. Just feed him lol

Brobocop · 05-02-2023, 11:23 AM

Dillon Brooks was just informed that he will not be brought back under any circumstances. Guy has had a rough couple of weeks but can’t say I feel bad for him.

Dude just piled ALL of this on himself

Ran his mouth, took zero accountability for it and now gets the boot from a really talented team who doesn't want to put up with him

Come play for the Lakers Dillon! They'll forgive you...

He’s a FA. Someone will sign him.

I guess Draymond was right.

yiguiri2002 · 05-02-2023, 12:05 PM

The worst rotation player on a favorite team who got upset in the first round while running his mouth and shooting 30%

This is the biggest bag fumble since Schroder. Could have easily gotten a multi year contract at around 15M...think he gets the MLE or less now.

When trying to be a tough guy goes wrong.
