I really don't know what the deal is with underdogs winning outright or getting blown out. That's like 36 of the last 37 games in which the team that won the game also covered the spread. It's like big favorites can't handle being in close games
Was calling him everything but a son of God while that shot was in the air and he drilled it. Terrible fucking shot lmao.
Awful shot but that’s what he does. This one went in. Props for him. 38 footer down 1 with 4 seconds still left on the clock is definitely a decision tho.
red probably would have figured out that the hawks were running the exact same set every time down the floor the last 5 minutes of the game went right over joe mazzullas head though
Watching these teams struggle to put away (or losing to) obviously lesser opponents is not making me feel great about anyone in either conference right now. Even Philly looked like shit for a lot of that sweep and Embiid is hurt. This feels like the closest the NBA playoffs have ever been to the NCAA Tournament.
every team has a flaw that could be fatal just gonna be a matter of circumstance on which flaws pop up when for each of them
Kind of amazing that super teams ruled the 10s from Miami/GS/Cleveland and now we're fully out of it where there isn't a single team that scares anyone right now. Was the same way the last couple years, but it feels more pronounced now than I can ever remember. Milwaukee is probably the closest thing to it with their top 3, and they can't stay healthy or stop from shooting themselves in the dick whenever they have a nice thing going.
bucks offense is always teetering on the edge of falling apart for loooonnggggg stretches can't trust them
Agreed. And it seems 50/50 at best that they even make it out of this round. But we've watched them do this for years now, yet everyone in the media keeps picking them as the favorites the last two years because they have Giannis and the closest thing in the league to a trio of "stars".
im not a layups or 3s only guy, but the suns sure could make up for a lot of their flaws if they just had kd and book shoot more 3s 4 combined attempts in a half just aint gonna cut it
