    Phoenix looks lost.  Great adjustment by Kid and the Mavs.
    The Heat have such a deep team they shouldn't be losing to Philly.
    Warriors are going to roll on the Grizz now.
    Boston can't figure out the Bucks so they are done too.

    you are correct on one out of four…maybe two of four.

    Boston can't figure out the Bucks so they are done too.
    Right cause they got blown out by 2 points Saturday after a brutal wrong call on the foul that should have given Smart 3 FTs (how is a guy who's left his feet in a jump shot motion not awarded a shooting foul there?) instead of 2 that could have sent it to OT and Horford's tip in came a half second after the buzzer. Yep they certainly can't figure them out. They never stood a chance in that game.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    With Embiid playing, the Sixers are better than the Heat. Sure the Heat have more depth (most teams have more depth than the Sixers) but the Sixers best players are better than their best players and that usually decides playoff series outcomes.

    Will be tough to take 2 out of 3 with Miami holding home court though. I think Sixers would've split the first two if Jo was playing...

    A bit surprised Jamie from Progressive has basically not seen the floor all series for The Heat.
    Dude can be lethal from 3, would give them some needed spacing.

    They aren't making it past the bucks, stop it.

    As confident in that as your prediction of the Nets beating the C's?

    I changed my mind after seeing that the Nets had a huge collapse the next game.  I said I won't ever trust the Nets and Kyrie again.  That ship has sailed.

    Perhaps you'll change your mind based on the results of game 4. haha

    Giannis won't collapse like the Nets did, no way.

    That first game the Nets played they barely lost and whatever that did to their egos, killed them going any further.

    It's Giannis' supporting cast that will be the deciding factor,
    Giannis is going to get his, what other Bucks do or don't do will determine who wins and loses.

    He's built differently too, I'll say that.

    Grayson, Portis, Jrue have all been playing really good.  Missing Middleton this round though.  I never thought I would say that Allen was playing well, ever...

    Well now.  4th quarter Bucks forgot how to play...

    GS is not playing their usual Splash Brothers style of ball.  It looked like when they went big(Memphis) they could kill the Warriors.  Didn't see that coming.

    Well now.  4th quarter Bucks forgot how to play...

    Celtics have outscored the Bucks collectively 122-94 in the 4th Q this series (and that includes game 1 when Bucks outscored them, its 103-71 over the past 3 games).
    You can wear Milwaukee down over the course of the game, it shows up in the 4th. The Celtics are the more athletic team overall. Aside from Giannis, Milwaukee's rotation is not particularly athletic. That's why you see Celtics getting to the rim with much more frequency in 4th quarter, Bucks are tired, and their defense falls off significantly late in games.

    Coach needs to change something.  You can't do everything right for 3 quarters then fall off a cliff consistently in the 4th...

    Celtics did not play like this last year but every year they disappoint me so I still hold out for the Bucks to win.

    they suck, tempo, but that’s got nothing to do with anything. I still say you’re off on at least two of your takes.

    I'm throwing shade, My Lakers are a dumpster fire currently...

    Celtics may prove me wrong here, never trusted them before but now they feel like playing as a team?

    Heat showed up to play.

    Whatever Jason Kid did to prepare the Mavs in games 3&4 he needs to remind the team of that again because they played sloppy ball.
  • tempo_n_groovetempo_n_groove Posts: 40,355
    Boston collapsed at the end.  Great defense by the Bucks that last minute or so.

    Somebody call up GS and let them know that they can turn it up whenever they are ready now.  Talk about a team not needing their star player?  Without Ja they were even better, go figure.

    Huge plays by Jrue Holiday at the end of that game.
    Tough one to lose.

    Him and Portis had big time plays.

    Smart was on the wrong end both times too...
