    Cut that baseline off on that fool. He’s on a whole nother level when he defends.

    I like the way John works the refs. They don’t seem to dislike him.

    Bruh I know Bogi just didn’t blow that spectacular steal, dribble, and pass by Trae. I know he didn’t.

    Dirk Huerter.

    Yeah I know, the margins were close in both series and the Hawks had efficiency advantages. I meant at this final 4 level. The Hawks chances are super-slim if they get punished on the glass versus this particular team.

    I’m going to be watching the boards all series. Bill Russell said that’s where games are won around this time and I never questioned him. Phoenix out-rebounding LA by only 2 per. In 2 close games it’s been enough to cement a 2-0 lead.

    How you really feel, Holic? Those are misses, no question. Don’t know how in the hell he let Melancon walk. But I think his hits far outweigh the strikes though. All other 29 teams in the league will envy the Acuna and Albies contracts until the day they’re up.

    If Cam plays he’s gonna have 2 steals, 2 blocks, and be +4. Im calling it.

    Lol. Bud does seem like an old hard-to-find beer-drinking ass dude. He be having to go to the downtown Tower megastore and sh@t. He can’t get ran outta Milwaukee he’s forged too many friendships with local breweries.

    Contract extensions are tricky as hell man. Everyone was wondering where is Freddie Freeman’s extension after an MVP season? My man done fell off a cliff (3.2 WAR in 60 games to .7 in 70, ouch). With all that has gone wrong with the Braves this year a poor value, long term contract would’ve been a back-breaker. Super-sharp GMs like AA and The Colonel know not to get too excited on the honeymoon.

    I ain’t mad. It seems like a no-brainer, slam dunk from our perspective for both sides to get a deal done yesterday but it’s surely a lot more to it. If Seattle is awarded a franchise soon he’ll be the only person on their coaching candidate list lol.

    Right. We were playing with house money last round. This is the casino director’s paycheck we splurging right now.

    Sounds like the writer slightly favors the Hawks. Smart man. I think the series is ours if we rebound like gangbusters. Possessions being equal I think ours are more variable and of slightly higher quality. I don’t think they shoot the three as well as their numbers say and we have the huge FT taking and shooting edge. Protect the ball, rebound hard, and continue the outstanding help defense and Bud’ll be outta there as quick as the bartender can pour him a double Jack.

    I think I’m gonna fall in line with @aali34 and call him “The Woo/ Wu.” He kinda favors Inspectah Deck actually. Inspectah Yek?

    Would y’all say the Bucks have a higher team IQ than the Sixers? Again we face a team that’s 2 years older on average. I really think their lack of adversity in terms of schedule has them with a false sense of where they are this season. Beating up on Cleveland, Detroit, and the Bulls ain’t bout nothing. I’m a big Heat fan and still won’t provide any excuses why they got ran through like a cheap whore other than they weren’t very good. The Nets were well-hobbled. We’ve been scratching and clawing for months.

    We competed on the boards against Philly, only -2 per game. The margin can’t get much higher than -4 versus these dudes. I didn’t realize their size drops off significantly after Giannis and Brook but they’re still ranked 2nd overall on the glass. I also worry about Portis. I always liked his game and he’s far more polished on the low block than Dwight Howard. He’s got great splits this season from all the distance increments. He shoots considerably better than Middleton from 10 feet to the arc unbelievably. OO movement and awareness gonna be on full display.

    That playoff run was so disappointing, especially after hanging tough with 1 seed Indiana shorthanded the year prior. Struggling against Brooklyn, pulling my hair out against the freaking Wizards, and losing all hope after Game 1 of the Finals. It was just a precursor of things to come from Playoff Bud.
  23. benhillboy
    I didn’t see it that way but I could be wrong. He’s easy to shoot over true, but at least he’s always there in a good stance and ready to challenge. A bigger defender with poor positioning would’ve been worse. He rebounded and stole as well as you could expect from him (3 and 1 per, respectively) and had as many blocks as both of their starting forwards. Don’t mind me tho I’m a big fan of the kid.

    I don’t think I’d call Curry a weak link (143 offensive rating to 113 defensive, by far their best). For all the talk about Ben, who just has the glaring hole but does pretty much everything else well, Korkmaz really gave them nothing. Sounds crazy to say but Giannis is the weak link IMO . If he commits more turnovers than assists and shoots 48% from the line again we in there like swimwear. The trick is fouling him hard without the silly referees looking at flagrants and stopping the game flow.
  25. benhillboy
    34 more threes total, almost 5 a game. If you can shoot them pretty well that’s a major gap against teams that can’t, especially with a clear FT shooting advantage as well. I don’t know where the Hawks rank under Nate in terms of attempts and percentage but it’s definitely better than the full season rankings of 19th and 12th. Philly was 26th and 10th with one of the best three point shooters alive. The Bucks rank 8th and 5th respectively but I don’t totally buy that they’ll be nearly as efficient versus us. Their strength of schedule was dead last. We’re gonna invite Giannis and Jrue to take all they want. They don’t want any of our guys getting their favorite looks.
