Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[L&HH]

The nuggets team really scares me in round 1 for whoever they play. They are deep and they can shoot. Trey Lyles looking like instant offense off the bench, Milsap coming back in a few weeks and it looks like Barton, Harris and Murray have figured out how to play together and everyone gets their shots. They are a deep, athletic team that should be able to score with anyone they face.

Jokic is great but I want to see how he does in the playoffs. That Mike Malone offense is cooking though. Nothing but cutters, shooters and good passers. It's a lot of fun to watch but scary as a Wolves fan

GS or Houston could possibly have to see Nuggets round one then OKC in round 2

The refs really let Rudy Gobert get away with murder.He's the illegal screen setting king

that's a left tackle blocking a pass rusher.

 

[Rich Spirit]

Just realize Towns made the all star team before Wiggins lmao.

I really like Tyus Jones

Hope they don’t sign Rose and reduce his minutes

Their player development is A1 and they seem to know when it’s just not there and they move on and/or reduce their role (Mudiay, Faried, Nurkic)

Unfortunately we all know how this is gonna work out. Somehow, someway, they will skirt by again.

How come you don't apply the same energy to the Cavs' [lack of] competition in the EC over the last few seasons?

They've generally played and beaten their best comp in the conference without much funny business. How are you even trying to compare the two?

The Warriors have played far greater competition en route to the Finals over the last three seasons, why do you have trouble acknowledging this?

Bullshyt. They played 2 legit contenders in 3 years. First they went down 3-1 before Durant defected and 2nd time they were getting blown out at home before Zaza took out Kawhi.

Cavs as a 4 seed swept a 1-seed team that won 60 games. And they didn't need any convenient injuries or flukie bullshyt to do it.

How many legit contenders have the Cavs played over the same period?

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

I didnt think so. Run along.

In certain seasons it's debatable, definitely not "far" greater due to the injuries, last season they both played some garbage comp leading up to the finals.
