Coming from a Thibs hater

Draymond suspension might've saved the Warriors playoff run. W's got to try different lineups and it seems to have (weirdly) unlocked their offense a bit more.

Fox looked tired at the end of the 4th. Kept missing shots short before he hit the final 3 to make it a 1 point game.
I think they get 2 days off now, next game Wednesday? Game 5 pretty much the series for the Kings at this point. You're not getting a game 7 if you go down 3-2 headed back to Chase center.

Sabonis Smoked A lot of layups. I actually think that decided the game.

He's got to be better or SAC is going home. His counterpart had 14 boards and 6 assists.

Thibs coaching circles around Bickerstaff. I think it's Bickerstaff's first playoff series as HC? But Bickerstaff's been around the nba long enough it shouldn't matter that it's his first go round as HC in the playoffs.

I think it's more roster construction than Bickerstaff's coaching. Cavs front-office gave JB fuck-all to work with in terms floor-spacing outside shooters and wing players.

With Nick Nurse out there available wonder if the Cavs get bounced next game if they Dwayne Casey Bickerstaff for Nurse. I think that'd be a mistake--seems like Nurse is a great tactician but can't relate to NBA players? Nurse is probably the kind of guy who should be an assistant and not the lead guy.

Although that was the book on Thibs for years and he somehow is still coaching and might even make a run at the Finals--if Heat somehow bounce the Giannis-impaired Bucks, Knicks would be favored to win next round. Then they'd have the Celts in the Eastern Conference Finals. Knicks went 4-2? I think, against the Celtics this season. Playoffs is different but still. Be fun to see Thibs and D.Rose in the Finals together, even if Rose is there mostly to mentor the younger players.

if the knicks make the finals i will eat my dick

I just wonder what percentage he'll be at -- a back injury is no joke.

Obviously Rose is a shell of himself but he can still give you 10-12 minutes. There's a reason why with Cam Payne's injury troubles this year, the Suns put the buyout rumor out there. He was playing 35 minutes a game and producing in that playoff series versus the Hawks a couple seasons ago.

Mike Vrabel vibes.

Dunno about making the Finals, but with the Knicks likely to take out the confused Cavaliers and the Heat at least making a series of it against Buds Bucks--Budenholzer coaching + either absent or limited Giannis....Spoelstra and Butler might be able to pull through and set up a Thibs/D.Rose vs Jimmy Buckets 2nd round.

Fox has a fractured finger. Doubtful for game 5

Morant is prime derrick rose with better shooting. Absolutely unreal ability. Plays smarter than rose ever did too.

Lebron still doing lebron. Just made a 3/4 shot that would have won the game. Lakers are nobody without him even though he's a shell of what he used to be. He still shapes the game.

Saw my first playoff game of the year. How is Memphis #2 seed? They’re terrible. Morant out of control half time and everyone else seems to be cowards.

Morant is the only player they have. It's exactly the bulls and rose. Poor guy. And now that he's labeled a thug, just like rose ain't nobody going there to play with him. Fucked around and found out. Terrible because he's unbelievably good. He always plays out of control like that but usually doesn't have a cast on his hand and the shots go in.

I blew it. I missed Jimmy being a god. It's the 3rd, Jimmy's 0-6 in the quarter, laying on the floor exhausted, Bam's doing his Bam thing, missing bunnies, and I gave up. I wake up, I see Jimmy puts up another 26 and Miami wins.

miami on the verge of becoming the sixth team i believe, all time...8 beating a 1.

First Jimmy Buckets did Jimmy Buckets things, then LeBron shut up mouthy assed Memphis with gusto. Nice night.

2nd year in a row that it appears some injury issues might take the Bucks out early. Giannis played last night but it wasn't enough and he clearly isn't 100%. Missing Middleton last year really hurt them in the Playoffs. Would be a shame to see the Bucks go home but that is kinda the way things go in the NBA. May need to watch the next game. Haven't tuned in for a full NBA game all season.

0-3 Memphis these playoffs with Morant.

1-0 Memphis these playoffs without Morant.

Yeah there is no way that they lose to Miami with a healthy Giannis.

I don't think Budenholzer is the right guy to be coaching this team. He doesn't seem to either know how to or want to adjust his game plan in the course of a game or the course of a series even. Coach Bud lucked out the championship season--i think that was the KD foot on the 3 point line series followed by getting the Hawks after the Ben Simmons debacle put the Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals instead of Embiid and the Sixers.
And then getting always the bridesmaid never the bride Chris Paul-led Suns in the Finals, with the Suns having their own team chemistry issues with Ayton.

They haven't lost yet. I'm going to check out the series betting odds for the Bucks.

Bit surprised, maybe I shouldn't be. Bucks only a +120 for the series.

If Giannis' health weren't a concern, maybe worth a gamble. But taking an ailing Giannis led Bucks to beat
Jimmy Buckets 3x's in a row in the playoffs? Should be closer to the +400 the Cavs currently sit at to win that series
down 3-1, but I'm seeing minimal value at +125 for the Bucks to win the series still; which seems crazy low. C'mon
Vegas, give us at least 2 to 1, ffs.
