NBA 2020 NBA Playoffs Thread

Dame stepped up late, as usual.

The Lakers guards are just brutal. It's only one game and I expect them to win this series but that was some ugly shooting tonight.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Lakers will win this series. They will be fine.

But if they do lose, how much damage will lebron's legacy take?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Wow both 8 seeds win Game 1. When was the last time that happened in NBA playoffs

Well they just said it was 2003 on TNT post game show, Spurs and Pistons both lost game 1

Dame will need to keep this up for Portland to advance.

i really want to know what was going through vogel's head when he pulls red hot kuzma for danny green who has been absolute garbage all season long? seriously, what the **** are you thinking? and right after that, they blow the lead. just horrendous coaching

but besides that, lakers aren't making it out of round 1 shooting the ball so poorly

That Nurkic dunk at the end, Danny Green ballwatching. So unlike the all-team 1st/2nd defense level Green from past seasons.

The NBA has basically become a “you must shoot the 3” league

He's always the talking point because he's LeBron but he just went for 23, 17, and 16 tonight. Couple of issues were the rough night from three and his FT struggles but I think he mostly did his part.

Meanwhile......

 

[Terry Yake]

yeah, lebron was the furthest thing from the issue

AD sucked, green and KCP were even worse, and they still can't shoot for shit. not quite a winning formula

 

[Power Man]

3 pt shooting is an issue for the Lakers

Also one of the 2 worst FT shooting teams in the NBA along with the Bucks

This.
I don't have a problem with a sport evolving, we can't be stuck in the past, but I like to see a little balance between midrange and 3 pt shooting
I'm not the biggest fan of the 90s, I think that era is grossly overrated, but they had the right balance of midrange vs 3 pt shooting

I've been enjoying the Lillard show though, but it might just be his attitude more than anything else.

Embiid and Cousins actually have a nice post game
But Embiid has fallen in love with the outside shot

Jokic and KAT have a nice post game as well

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Sixers are a disgrace.

 

[Cassano]

Sixers are a disgrace.

[Cassano]

[Del Preston]

Boban and his ears are killing the Clippers right now.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Paul George undoing all of the progress Kawhi made in this game.

 

[Terry Yake]

clippers might be down 2-0 right now if the refs hadn't given porzingis a tech for doing nothing

 

[Jack Straw]

Dallas is a fun team to watch.

 

[The Night King]

The Mavs are legit.

Both Ts were automatic. They had no choice. Clippers would be up 2-0 right now if the refs called the game equal.
