The official 2024 NBA Playoffs thread - no tankers allowed

[DT_35]

How do these commentators not know by now a 24 sec shot clock turnover is a team turnover not a personal turnover lol

 

[vanders]

Joker is ridiculous man

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Denver roped everyone in tanking the first two games

Same as the players who pass the ball away with 1 second left when running the clock down.

If I were coach I'd drop anyone that did this anyway. Selfishness for personal stats not tolerated!

 

[NSWCROW]

THE BIG FUNDAMENTAL !!!

 

[NSWCROW]

We're 100% going to 7 though

 

[Nicho50]

We're 100% going to 7 though

Nope. Denver will win in game 6.

Purely and simply was given it as they had to give something to Minna. Least we are seeing him exposed. Not sure who was better but it’s hardly a glowing sign of the award this year.

wtf?

You question the selection of DPOY yet cannot provide an alternative.

 

[peternorth]

Denver will wrap this up next game.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

As opposed to who?

Dude has the best drtg in the league

Just because he's struggling in one match up against a team that match up extremely well against the Wolves doesn't invalidate his season

wtf?

David Robinson was a bad defender because Hakeem went nuts in that one series.

Thread's gone in an interesting direction.

Give it to Wemby. More than happy with him winning it

Giddey was good yesterday.

Gobert is useless and has been exposed.

**** me sideways you have some ridiculous takes.

 

[fidstar]

What a brutal debut.

Looks to me her game wont translate as well in the WNBA as it did in college. More length and better athletes to defend her will kill alot of her game it seems

Calling someone's career after one game.

Hot takes abound today

Illl add another one in saying Naz Reid is trade bait. He is just a bad fit. Can win 6th man of the year but it doesn’t translate to playoffs. Gives them nothing but a downgrade on KAT when he goes in. They are better off with someone who can play both SF and PF to be that 6th man and someone who can drive to the basket a bit more .

Reid for Kuzma like deal could work

 

[fidstar]

Im also going to say that I find Caitlin Clark very attractive


In my top 3 for the year

I'm sure she's very happy about it.

 

[fidstar]

It ain't going to a rookie on 22 win team with the 21st ranked defense

This.

Is Naz still the worst contract in the league though?

 

[peternorth]

No more NBA on TNT.

Wemby should have won 6moy

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Nah I was wrong completely on that since he now has trade value. I am correct only in the sense he doesn’t suit the teams needs . I’d move him on now he has value myself. Keeping him around isn’t worth it

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Wemby should have won 6moy

Malik Monk for sure though. Reid’s best moments were starting as opppsed to well a 6th man

 

[Slysh]

This.

Also as good as Wemby is imagine the takes in here if Wemby was guarding Jokic for 7 games and was given DPOY.

Jokic makes everyone look like a fool.
