2018-2019 NBA Season

[DarthFed]

I don't mean to try to age you @kskate2 but watching that big oaf Jokic somehow reminds me of Rik Smits from the Pacers in the early 90's. the Dutchman who moved a foot per minute.

Jokic is like Smits 2.0, slowest bastards ever but great shooters and just annoyingly good. I did root for Knicks over those early 90 Pacer teams but they were fun battles to watch

You don't have to worry about aging me, I am what I am. I will be celebrating a milestone bday in 3 months.

I do remember Smits. It's a very good comparison. Both are something my brother used say all the time "blosky" .

 

[Federberg]

Curry was actually a liability both offensively and defensively yesterday. I think he was responsible for that overtime loss

What is a blosky? Given the oafs I just mentioned I could make an educated guess but I haven't heard that one. I hope you enjoy your 21st bday in a few months

I still think GS pulls the series out but it gets pretty darn interesting if Houston wins game 4. It seems weird but I almost feel like Portland is the only one that is mostly over. I just think they are going to win easy today. All the other ones it wouldn't surprise me too much if it goes 2-2.

Bucks in many ways took Boston's best shot but here's where experience comes into play. They could come out and play a stinker like game 1 and get blown out. But this is clearly their series to lose. Giannis when he is Giannis is too much for Boston to handle. When he is facilitating well like Friday it is hard to stop especially when you consider Bledsoe played as bad as I remember seeing any NBA player play.

I watched all of the Dubs Rockets game. I think it's definitely GSW's to lose. They were really awful for most of the match until KD decided to take over. They would actually have won it if Curry especially and Klay to a lesser extent had just deferred to KD. One thing is very clear... Houston can do nothing about KD if he decides to play. Good grief... Steph was diabolically bad that game. He's having a terrible play offs so far. I don't recall a single game in any series where he's actually been effective. And his fouling is just getting ridiculous. One very interesting thing re: the Rockets was how much better they are playing when Harden is on the bench. The difference at the moment is quite stark

 

[kskate2]

Harden finally came up w/ a big game. He had 41 pts and pretty much took over in the OT, almost willing that team to win. The fact that they needed 53 minutes to win this game just shows you how much control the Dubs have in this series.

No one in the history of the sport has an answer for KD. But I would agree the Rockets chances are based on them being lights out from 3 and then having the Splash bros struggle.

@Federberg Lowry must have been reading our comments. He has 7 pts already with 4min to go in Q1.

Lol! I was thinking the same thing

The rest is still shooting like Storm Troopers though...Not going to happen for the Raps if they don't win today.

 

[kskate2]

Kawhi is a bad mother-----. Ooo, shut yo mouth.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

The guy needs help. Good win today in that they finally equalled Philly in rebounds and even then it did not feel that way. Still no bench. Lowry is a positive and Ibaka is a positive. They need an easy win in Toronto. Kawhi needs help.

 

[kskate2]

He definitely needs help @Murat Baslamisli and for the most part he got it today. What will happen on Tues?

Blosky is a combo of at least 2:
slow
heavy
uncoordinated
ungraceful
a blockhead

Don't worry, 21st bday will be off the chains

 

[kskate2]

lol it's opposite for me, I was awake for everything except the 2nd OT. Woke up on the couch and then watched the rest.

Lillard is definitely better but McCollum and even Hood were more the heroes last night.

Lilliard is more explosive, but again McCollum came up big and Damian was not good enough. Ultimately that's why they lost

I don't know what will happen but what I want to happen is for the Raps to find their flow on offense, people hitting the corner threes like they did all year, fast break points and suffocating defense. I need a 30 point blow out where the starters rest for the last 10 minutes . Am I asking for too much?

Raps will win that but Siakam injury hurts for sure.

I'm hoping Bucks come out blazing tonight. I still have a bad feeling this series gets to close. Smart comes back tonight probably and Brogdon...nowhere to be found. Just remember what I said about the comments on the city of Milwaukee. I don't think he wants to play here anymore, it's the playoffs and he is quietly our 2nd or 3rd best player, you play even if you're at 70%

 

[DarthFed]

Pathetic start. Bledsoe still looks the same as the other night.
