2018 NBA Playoffs

[Rich]

If only the Pelicans could get a 2 guard, and have Rondo off the bench. They'd be a wrecking ball. They don't have enough depth. I don't like the Cousins mesh with Davis, personally.

I like Mirotic next to him better as a fit. If Cousins some how walks, not sure that is a bad thing, at all. Despite his talent, he's always been a problem to fit in as a unit.

His impact really wasn't that great. It's why I'm not a big fan of his. He puts up great numbers, but his impact doesn't make that kind of difference.

I actually think NO is better without him.

I don't know why you'd wanna put Rondo on the bench and move Holiday back to point when they just got done dominating a backcourt almost everyone would have considered better.

They just need a little depth. Cousins coming back helps that.

Now, their real problem will be keeping Cousins, Mirotic, and Rondo. I don't see how they keep all three unless Rondo, again, doesn't get any significant offers.

KAT may end up more like Al Horford than Kevin Garnett.

CJ or Dame will be available after that playoff performance.

Curry will be back and the series won't go 7, but I still think it will be a bunch of tough, close games. New Orleans just has absolutely no semblance of a bench. A stud starting 5 and then it's a steep, steep fall.

So this is one of the only times the Warriors play a team besides us where a player on the other team has a legit shot to be the best player in the series

Davis can absolutely be the best player in the series and for that reason I think they will be quite competitive for any games Curry is out.

Here’s to hoping Curry spills acid on his ankle accidentally and it dissolves

Edit: well Kawhi too but Zaza murdered him in cold blood

Unfortunately it will be CJ and I don't want him.

After that series do you really want Dame? That was rough. Not just offensively but he’s seriously Kyrie bad at defense

At this point sorry guys but it’s just gotta be Middleton. It’s the only way!!!

 

[mhi]

Yep. If am Gilbert, I contact him as soon as that happens.

 

[Surge]

DRose and Wade both looking great in the playoffs so far.............

Only if it'd keep LeBron. If there's any doubt, then no, I wouldn't.

I'd still take Lillard. He's a playmaker, can get his own, run transition, attack the basket, spot up, etc., everything we need.

Why wouldn't you want CJ?

I rather have him than Dame.

 

[godfather]

I know some were down on CJ, but he sure showed up much better than fucking Lillard.

Even before his 38 point performance. 21 pg on 45% shooting and 39% from three isn't exactly shit.

Holy fuck, you imagine him playing next to LeBron? If that's considered a bad series, I'd gladly take his bad series as a number 2 option, compared to Love's bad series at this point.

He's too undersized for me. I'd rather get Middleton.

Davis is better without Cousins. Davis is their more important player. Cousins isn't close to the player Davis is when it comes to impact.. I rather have my best player; playing at his best.

And they just dominated Portland's back court because Holiday completely dominated the fuck out of Lillard. Destroyed him. It becomes an unfair right if Lillard is going to get manhandled this badly.

CJ still had a strong series.

They need a two guard that can shoot, and play off Davis, Holiday, etc.. If they had that one lights out shooter at the position with more size. And just a little more depth, I think they could be a contender.

The Davis and Cousins mesh is just awkward... The best thing that happen to them is Cousins went down and they acquired Mirotic.

I do not think they just completely dominate a series like this if they still had Boogie and no Mirotic.

Mirotic was really great for them in this series on both ends.

I love Thibs. He is basketball incarnate.
