It's not over yet. Wait to see what adjustments they make for game 2

It's over. They don't have athletic players and Bud likes his bench too much. Can't rely on playing 3 slow pasty ass whities too often. Main question is on Giannis. Got to put your big boy pants on and come ready to play every postseason game. He looked like he aged 15 years since last game

I also don't believe it is over Darth , but this series can take a lot out of the Bucks if they do not get their shit together fast.

We will see. Effort level was pathetic and no adjustments to Horford pick and pop. But pissed at Giannis, he wants a seat at the big boy table he's got to do it in the playoffs. You know all too well what one man can do in a playoff series.

Maybe Giannis needed that punch in the mouth today to tune up his mentality. I doubt he comes out like that again. Meanwhile Houston is trying to outdo their own record from last year against the Dubs. 27 straight missed 3's

 

[DarthFed]

Didn't see the Warriors game but it's also why I don't consider Harden elite. He is fucking trash in the playoffs too. We have maybe 3 truly great players in the NBA and an expanded little kids table.

We will see. He humiliated this shit town today. Nothing good in this sports world here for a long time. All these teams suck a Ron Jeremy size D

Klay definitely fouled him a few times in the first half. But that crap that both Harden and CP pulled in the 4th quarter, trying to draw the foul so blatantly is exactly why I loathe the Rockets. Play the fkg game. Can you imagine a soccer team whose entire strategy is trying to get penalties? They would be laughed out of the stadium. Incredibly annoying

 

[DarthFed]

Bout time Giannis put his big boy pants on after 6 crap quarters to start this series. Looks like it will be 1-1 which is still obviously a win for Boston.

Saturday will be huge for the Rockets. If they can't win that one it's over. GSW have been far more impressive on D than anything else so far. Scary that neither one of the Splash brothers has really gone off yet. Draymond is playing awesome but he's really running up the techs. I'm not sure there's another team out there short of these Rockets where that actually matters though

 

[DarthFed]

Tough to picture anyone beating them 4 out of 5 so it is over. The Rockets couldn't rebound to save their lives, turned it over a ton, and also gave up big games to Green and Eagle. I'm surprised they didn't lose by close to 30 given all that.

Eric Gordon was mighty. The guy was dropping 3's like he was Steph Curry. Austin Rivers was pretty decent too.

Incidentally I thought CP3 had a problem with Doc Rivers? I assume that didn't translate to his son?

 

[Federberg]

Interesting point made by Joe Rogen who doesn't even follow basketball. Only makes me loathe Harden more

I know this isn't relevant to this season, but I just stumbled across this clip again. One of my favourite scenes I've seen on Inside the NBA. "Google me Chuck!"

He does flop a ton. In fact he's made a living off of flopping. He does actually get fouled sometimes (like in G1), but it's like little boy blue, nobody believes him when he's actually fouled. It appeared the refs got together before that game and decided they weren't going to call any of those space encroaching fouls.

I think they're still nursing sore ankles and just downplaying it. They have to be in pain but are likely just playing through it under a soft groan.

That whole team had a problem with Doc Rivers at the end and part of it had to do with Austin Rivers. Paul especially didn't get along with Doc. I give Rivers credit, I think he is overall a good coach but he definitely lost his way with that team and they underachieved under him.

Sounds about right according to this....

20-20 hindsight but it feels like Doc was right to reject some of those trades

 

[Federberg]

Big balls time for the Freak tonight. He needs to show he's for real and stamp his authority in the lions den

Sometimes, Chuck big mouth is just wrong. He's the only one on the panel w/o a ring. So Shaq and to a smaller degree Kenny always talk over him.
