This is just the best possible “insurgent young team against vets trying to get back to glory” matchup possible. Also helps that it is the two most watchable teams in the league led with two superstars who do things on the court no one else can do in Ja and Steph.

"Lose Brooks for one game in exchange for taking out the only player GSW has that can half guard Morant" is a hell of a deal. -------- Normally I understand the NBA's sometimes weird playoff schedule to be "money" but why are the 2 vs 3 matchups getting three days off to travel while the 1 vs 4 series are only getting one day off?

BobbyWhioux Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 just like they might do an angle where Not-Hogan is the champion for a while but said champ is still gonna wrestle 3rd from the top while Hogan main events, just because you're the one seed doesn't mean you're the actual favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I don't see how there's more money in switching the order around. They took a day off, cool, makes sense. But then they are also flipping the order of which games are played the first night. If they had just kept Bucks/Celtics and Dubs/Grizz tonight, all four series would've gotten two days off and they would still have two games tonight and two tomorrow. I don't see where there's more money in flipping it and giving those four teams three days off and keeping the other four teams playing every other night.

Is it still hockey rules that if you injure an opposing player intentionally you get suspended the same length they're injured? Unless your Claude Lemieux that one year on Kris Draper.

Neither do I and who knows if it even is there, but apparently some poll or algorithm or focus group has convinced them it’s there so it must be there, no one with an MBA could ever be wrong about these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
