This playoff series for Randle is reminding me of Towns playoff appearance against Houston that one year .

NBA PLAYOFFS
- Thread starter BGCATFAN2012
- Start date
A majority of these games have been blow outs. Was hoping for another good Knicks/Hawks game, but even that has let me down. The good games have been good, but and few pretty rare so far.
Watch Luka later he won't let us down.
PG is probably my favorite guy in the league. Met him once while fishing at Chickamagua. Nicest guy. Happy to see him doing well even though I’m not an LA fan.
Sadly I think someone has to have a night like that to do anything with the Nets. He was unreal tonight.
there’s a few players on boston looking expendable right now. clear as day they should minimize all big contracts and start finding how to build around tatum. it’s crazy what can happen when you get the right pg. booker got that with paul. i think they got better defensively, but tatum could have a very high scoring team built around him.
Trade Brown for a young PG and some assets and you are in business if you are Boston
kemba doesn’t fit imo. they just need a solid pg who you can’t leave wide open. forget the penetrating, tatum can do that too. one bail out shooter and some solid role players.
Yeah this was good to see him come out and play great. He needed a game like this to get him going .
Harden and Irving will torch any guards. Caruso and KCP are probably as good a defensive tandem at guard as they'll face though. And neither guy needs to expend much on offense so they can focus on slowing them down.
Thankfully, Brooklyn doesn't guard anybody and they don't have chemistry yet. Because that talent is overwhelming on offense.
Porzingis is playing very soft this series . The Clippers don’t have anyone that can matchup with him . He is supposed to be dominating this series
Porzingis looks scared to death. Softest I’ve ever seen him play.
Herro was injured at the end of the season, but that’s another point.
Heat have a lot of changes necessary during post-season. Duncan Robinson was completely shut down these past 3 games and yet, to start the second half with a lead, they try force feed a guy that can’t even get his shot off much less make it.
Butler was awful again. 4-15 for 12 points from your alpha player is just not good in the least.
Gonna get behind Suns and DBook and hope they can get a win this coming up game.
I don’t know if Boston can afford Brown, Tatum, and a big-time PG salary wise. I think they might be forced to pick 2 and I would go with Tatum and a nice PG along with the boatload of assets you would get for Brown.
Don't necessarily need a big time PG. Aside from the inexplicable collapse of the defense this year, which makes zero sense given the roster, the biggest problem was that Kemba was a shoot first PG who doesn't really facilitate/run the offense or create easy shots for others, yet there are two other players on the roster who are better at scoring than he is. So to best maximize his productivity would be a worse thing for the Celtics offense. Though his contract is borderline untradeable, so don't know if there is much Boston can do to get rid of him. A guy in the mold of Ricky Rubio or Lonzo Ball would be a good fit, or in an ideal world, Chris Paul
Especially not the Wizards. But they can't stop anybody, so this is nothing new for them lol
It feels like everyone is beatable this year. I can't bring myself to believe in the Nets as at some point you have to think having gifted but mentally eh... questionable... players plus Harden's lukewarm playoff history will catch up with them.
I like the Bucks but I can't seem to bandwagon onto them for some reason? The minute I turn them on I instinctively root for whoever else is playing them without even wanting to.
Lakers seem perpetually within one Bron rolling around on the ground in excruciating pain away from being irrelevant. Or he might have just wanted to look heroic on TV. You never know what plot twist he's working on for his social media narrative. Has any player in NBA history been more conscious of their "story" than LeBron is? It almost seems like he's playing a character and it makes him unbearable to me. Like he feels so self-conscious that he spends every waking minute trying not to look at the cameras. Like in acting class they told him no matter what, don't look at the camera so he spends all his time straining to maintain eye control.

Can't say I disagree about your take on Lebron. Great talent. Very full of himself.
It's always cool to meet these guys, and I'm sure he's a good dude.. but he continues to let his teams down (recent games aside). Had awful series last year, not a good leader/locker room guy. And most importantly.. he killed me in fantasy last 2 years. Damn you, Paul George!
Yeah. I didn’t speak to him for long. He was fishing with a local pro in a pro/am bass tournament. But he was really friendly and down to Earth. You’re right. He’s struggled in the playoffs the past few years. One of those guys I’ll always root for though. Would like to see him break that stigma but he may never.
Yup nothing coming easy for him . They need a playmaker that can get him a few easy baskets
Jimmy would be a good complimentary player to a superstar . It’s tough having Butler as your number 1 guy because you don’t know if he’s going to score 30 or less than 15.
