2 Dukes go at it in this Boxing match like it's Rocky 5 - (2) Celtics vs. (7) Magic, First round playoffs thread

Jaylen Brown played pretty decent considering his injury

It's good he didn't play in the 4th quarter to lower his minutes

Laker fans telling me Reaves is a better player than World Champion Derrick White

I agree and I was thinking the same thing. If you’re going to be a negative on defense you better be fukking Magic Johnson, Luka or Joker

Derrick plays a role that doesn’t require 25 but he’s an extremely capable offensive player along with being a world class defende

Reaves’ defense is among The Lakers biggest issues right now

KCP has been a severe disappointment. Had poor Mike Malone crying for him at night as if he lost something of note

breh is not even a nba player anymore. 26 minutes attempted 1 shot had 2 assists adn 5 personal fouls

why didn't this team pick up a schoeder or tyus jones at the deadline

Orlando are just happy to be in the playoffs with all those injuries they had this season. They are not doing much like maybe winning one game in Orlando and they'd be happy with the outcome.

KCP is one of those overrated 3 & D players I talk about.

When I think of LEGIT 3 & D players, Derrick White immediately comes to mind. He can defend and actually go get himself a shot. KCP just plays overrated defense and waits in the corner for Banquero to get double teamed

Everyone on that team needs a PG. They are a functionally broken roster.

Suggs is barely up to the task himself but without him? Literally one guy can get his own shot consistently and definitely won't be efficient.

That's what I'm saying. The GM failed straight up.

Depth

Thunder have gys like caruso, joe and wiggins, celtics have pritchard, horford, hauser cavs got jerome, hunter, okoro

He didn’t give up on this play stood up to Paolo and blocked his shot. Reaves getting out the way there.

He did
marcus smart went for 2 second rounders
davion mitchell went for a second round pick
schoeder went for fillers

Doesn’t DW have the most blocks by a perimeter player since Wade & MJ?

For my money he’s the best third option in the league
