Yeah whatever picks they do end up getting are a bonus, getting rid of Levert was the best thing about the trade. 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I really thought they were going to get off a terrible shot once Smart didn't shoot the first look - what a great find by him and a phenomenal job by Tatum of making himself available on the cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nets should have let Smart shoot. They got the ball out of Brown and Tatums hands…they got the guy shooting they want. Let him have it. Instead two guys get out of position flying out on a close out and give up a layup. They played bad bad defense the last minute. How many easy layups did they give up the last minute..3??

Agree to disagree on the last play being bad defense, but I think any team to ever play basketball would've closed out hard on Smart there. It was an open, set, catch and shoot three. I mean it looked like they gave him no where to go, Tatum just did a great job of making himself available and Smart executed a tough pass.

Loved that Udoka didn't call timeout when the Celtics got the stop with 10 seconds left. Great move by Udoka. Most teams would race up court and call a timeout with like 4 seconds left. But that would have allowed Brooklyn to get Kyrie out of the game for defensive purposes. Loved them just being aggressive and playing it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two guys closed out….how is that not bad defense? Nets gave up lay up after lay up to end the game with little to no resistance. Of course if it’s your guy you are going to close out but you don’t go flying out half hazardly..you give him that low percentage shot for him over him getting past you. It’s what I expect because the Nets have probably the worst defense of any team in the playoffs…East or West. It doesn’t matter though. Even if they win that matchup KD will be exhausted come the next round. If the refs allow Boston to play that physical defense on him all season they will wear him out. Surprised how physical they let the game play out..both sides honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes excellent call. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Tyrese Maxey has become a stud. I think he had 38 in game one. Tonight just went for 23, 9 boards, 8 assists. He's shooting 22 of 32. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes excellent call. I’ve said it since last year. The media has been slobbering on them in terms of winning the title. I will believe it when I see it. Durant was phenomenal last year and we might look back and say that was his peak. Definitely a good team but I don’t see that group as a champion.

BobSaccamanno Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Bulls with an upset of the Bucks. Middleton got hurt (strained knee) - not sure how long he will be out. DeRozan is right out of central casting from 1985. No range on his shot but great in the mid range. Bulls have amassed some young guys with those high picks. DeRozan is limited so I don’t know how they go from here to being a top team though. He’s not going to go for 41 every night but the Bucks can’t just take the Bulls for granted. They had beaten them 18 out of 19 times which is classic big brother territory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booker has a hamstring issue and it says likely to miss the next 2 games. My dad and I were watching and he doesn't know nba just watches some IU and UofL. I said, "Watch this guy he's one of the top guards in the league right now and really young." He hit this real quick fall away three in the corner and just did his smooth thing a few other times. He's so good and just getting better. Then you got Jamal Murray injured and that denver team plays hard and is good but clearly not good enough without Murray. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 My annual why in the heck did the Pacers take TJ Leaf instead of OG Anunoby? I know the 76ers will win the series but OG with a cool 26 last night in defeat. That Bucks/Bulls series all of a sudden became interesting with Middleton injury too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
