@canefan whilst simultaneously invalidating the resting season.... I mean regular season....
Load management already did that. Hard to maintain intensity with all those games

Meanwhile, LA and MIA could make an unlikely reunion in the finals. Of course there's a lot of ball to play before then. But a 7 and 8 seed advancing would appear to validate the play in system wouldn't it?
Hope not.
I’m all in on the Nuggets.

Nuggets look like monsters. A huge step up for Lakers.

@KiwiMurph best starting lineup in the league IMO.
On Klay, just seemed he was trying too hard. He had built up the whole playing his old man’s team for the first time in the playoffs.
Dubs basically got something from DiVincenzo, limited from Looney who was dealing with illness and nothing from others.
-
JJ had a great segment about Klay discussing why he was struggling, talking about the movement to a pick and roll offense cutting down on Klay’s easy looks. He’d usually get a few points and into the game on cut lay ups but recently the only time they could fed him those was if they got going in transition. It was one of the best segments I’ve heard lately as others were just saying ‘Klay needs to get going’
Edit: here.

Interesting. Feels like a bit of a cop out to me though for 2 reasons:
- Klay is a good cutter, but he’s a terrible finisher under any kind of contest. He just doesn’t have good touch at the rim, and he’s actually a terrible dribbler (have you ever seen him beat a guy going either way from the perimeter and get all the way to the hoop?)
- He got a HEAP of really good looks last night. Lots of the Warrriors did in fact. Those are shots he expects to make whether he’s had a layup or 2 prior or not.
I love Klay, he’s one of my favourite players and personalities. But he was just plain terrible last night

That was filmed before yesterday; what I liked about was at least it was a commentator actual trying to put the lack of form into a wider context than just ‘he’s shit’ which is essentially all we have got so far.
JJ is great, lots of time for him.
-
Wow tatum making up for the three quarters he missed last game.
-
Also everyone thought Dillion Brooks was the bad guy....Morant caught on social with a gun again.

Joel Embiid is the only MVP to have never made a Conference Finals
Can’t let the “fat, white, European” win another one….

Wow really? This guy is in danger of pissing away his talent in a big way

He's already down $50m in cash from missing all-NBA this year, which the last suspension obviously contributed too
-
What a G7 for reinforcing existing career reps.
Tatum and Horford get it done, has lots of form on the big stage
Embiid another early exit, has never gone deep in the playoffs (def some extenuating circumstances in previous years, but still)
Harden another G7 stinker, the body of evidence in big games is now irrefutable. -

How dumb?
But, since he’s into summer (ie, not on NBA business) and conceivably/possibly in a place where open carry is allowed, is this a big deal?
In a country where every bastard owns and waves a gun around, why is him waving it around a problem?
-
@gt12 nothing illegal, but game into disrepute and all that - same as live-streaming yourself hitting the bong with the lads or doing shots at the strip club at 5am - just not that smart
He also thinks himself a wannabe gangster - not quite the image the NBA and their sponsors are going for:
-
The interesting thing is that it doesn’t appear that he’s really from the streets and now some gang members are (apparently, according to KJM) coming out pissed at him using gang signs when he’s not part of the game.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
