No, I think it's fine. Obviously, it would've been nice to play Utah and not have to worry about advancing, but I don't know how the Thunder match up to the small ball Rockets. Can they even play Adams? The nightmare scenario doesn't matter who we're playing, it's Tucker, RoCo etc. missing their wide open 3s. I think a matchup against the Mavericks 1st round and Clippers 2nd round would be the worst scenario since the Mavs can keep up the three point pace with the Rockets and Clippers have the defense / narrative. 2 hours ago, Infinit said: C'mon...for @Lawful Metal, every day is James Harden Appreciation Day lol True that. Also, I'm left handed, my brother-in-law is left handed, and two of my kids are left-handed. Right handed people are weird.

Brian Fowler Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Phoenix suddenly putting it all together in the bubble has been really fun to see. And Booker vs Dame for the 8th seed sounds awesome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) By the way, with the suspension ending his season, Giannis finishes with the best single season PER in NBA history. Edited August 13, 2020 by Brian Fowler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The only thing I cared about in this Bucks/Suns game was was getting Khris Middleton his 50/40/90 season since he was at 49.9 FG% He's 0-4 so far. Oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Well, there goes our chance of a Dame/Booker play-in showdown. At least it's the fun Grizzlies who broke up that dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Did Giannis' 178k headbutt ruin our changes of Dame vs. Booker? Maybe they would have rested him. Imagine the 8-0 Suns being knocked out of the playoffs, but man, I really want more Dame Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Lillard is the likable version of James Harden. Neither play traditionally winning basketball, usage is way too high, dodgy defense (Harden still falls asleep if his man doesn't have the ball and his man defense still has holes), but Dame hits crazy 3s and isn't at the line half of the game. It's nice to see LeVert put everything together in the NBA and stay healthy for a bit. He was a blast to watch in the odd Michigan game I caught.

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Caris Levert should have drove to the hoop there he had them on the ropes. But great game and I'm happy Dame got in. Huge steal at the end there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Not going two-for-one and having the ball in Brooklyn's hand to decide their fate... that was hairy... especially with the way LeVert had been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long can a guy stay this hot? I have a bet for pizza takeout with a bud that Portland doesn't win 2 games against the Lakers. He's been all aboard the Dame Express for a while now. I'm going to be the much less cool/rich/in-shape/talented/funny and white version of Shannon Sharpe with that LeBron dickriding, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Dame is my favorite player. Maybe ever. Dare I say this past week or so felt almost Jordan-ish? He just had this indomitable will to win and the Clippers clowning on him set that off. My second favorite player is Ja. He is unreal. He reminds me of Manu in a lot of ways. He sees the game in a way like no one else does like Manu. Ja also has 99.9999 percentile athleticism. It is over once he gets a consistent jumper. I am so excited for this play-in. My third favorite player is Lowry. He is just a dog. I love the NBA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I just wish Dame had more talent around him. CJ is hurt right now but playing through it, Melo is running on the last little bit of gas he has left in the tank, Nurkic just came back though he looks good and that's about it right now. Whiteside, Collins, Trent, none of them excite me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
