[EC First Round] (2)Brooklyn vs. (7)Boston

Especially after watching them dismantle the Heat defensively.

 

I'm all-in for Bucks vs Nets. MIL size, length and defensive excellence vs BRK shooting, skill and offensive excellence.

I anticipate the Nets running Brook Lopez into a million pick and rolls. Lopez isolated vs Durant, Harden or Irving won't be pretty.

It'll be interesting if that will force the Bucks to hedge, blitz or limit Lopez's minutes. This season to coach bud's credit they've incorporated a ton more switches and hedges to scheme as well as played a smaller lineup with giannis or Portia at the 5. That's a super switchable lineup of jrue, Middleton, tucker, giannis, porter.

 

We can, I just rather Rockets win a ring first.... Or Harden can win a ring with Houston at the same time... Or he can win won after Rockets but if the league does not intervene he should have a couple of rings locked down at the least.... I still don't think they will let LeBron retire on a lost finals.

I've been saying it all year long, this season is pointless. So is the next, the finals will be Lakers v Nets... Which is why I don't mind rebuilding now. Boston, Phoenix can be excited for now on winning but its the worst year to compete in.

 

Bud would always beat the Rockets by going down low to Brook. It feels like every Bucks game he would beat us in close games giving Brook low post touches because yeah, Brook wuold get tourched by those guards but the things is...3 > 2, of course, but 2 > 0, and if these guys aren't hitting their long range shot against him and if MIL is closing the paint, then Brook's easy low post buckets win in the logn run.

If I'm BKN I'm terrified of that interior defense against Giannis as well.

I think it's going to be a really fun series, thankfully MIL got out of there with no significant injuries so hopefully BKN can take care of business and do the same.

 

Tatum gonna get every call possible

Rocket River
Boston always pays the refs

 

Harden's been talking a lot tonight or maybe it is more noticeable since we actually have a playoff crowd...

 

here comes the goat of hype jabbari parker....cade never reached jabbaris hype...not even close

 

"We know Jabari Parker when healthy can play..."

 

Durant and kyrie are blackholes on offense. They get the ball and only look to score. How many assists do the nets have as a team. Has joe Harris taken a shot

 

its incredible...they afraid of harden or saving him for when matters the most?

 

damn, ok James

 

Lmao look at what happend when Harden is by himself, dude's get shots.

 

keep kyrie on the bench. the nets are about to blow this open i think

 

lololol

 

wouldnt be shocked if kyrie got in durant's head( not hard to do) to get him to freeze out james. the offense is looking way better with those 2 out right now

 

Smart keeps making BS

Which angel is blessing him right now? He’s not this good

 

Harden by himself doing work

KD and Kyrie chucking to a deficit

 

i wish we had joe harris on the rockets, when harden was here

 

Refs desperate to keep this one close these past few minutes...not sure they can stop this bleeding.
