2025 Playoffs Chat & Chill Thread

Aaron Gordon just seems to get better every year. He’s a terrific player and also super fun to watch.

Gordon has been incredible. Was a decent defender and a good rebounder but he add 3 points right now. Experiences matters in PO. OKC learn it tonight, too many mistakes from coaching to players. Will be a long series.

More like Choke Holmgren

Crazy thing about the Nuggs is that MPJ is kind of useless with his injury and they are still finding ways to win games

On a totally different topic…

Anyone else think Russ looks kinda like a cat fish?

I'm conflicted because I like to watch OKC play, so I want them to win so I can continue to watch them play, but I'm scared of them and how good they are set up for their future, so I would love to see them lose.

Will be cool to see the MVP's go head to head for a playoff series.

So far Jokic dominating. Wow. 40-20 game. Yikes!

 

[LogGrad98]

Jokic effectively a player-coch this entire playoffs.. lol..

The greatest players usually are.

Ya he was horrible.

 

[LogGrad98]

Watching the highlights of the DEN-OKC game, and it is clear Jokic is just on another level from everyone in the NBA right now. That 3 he hit in the face of the defender with 1 minute left was cold blooded and he hit it like he was taking practice shots. Unbelievable.

And the last 16 seconds was crazy. The best of playoff basketball really. A few guys rising to the challenge and hitting tough free throws and tough shots, including the game winner of course. And one guy choking at the line. Wild ****. Denver definitely showed the playoff experience. They have been there before and acted like assassins at the end. I don't think they missed anything in that short stretch. Gordon was just cold-blooded as well. Took that ball in stride and just nailed the 3. Wow.

Would yall say Jokic and Steph are below average athletes and defensive liabilities?

 

[rippimpc]

For their positions

For their positions

Yes and meh. both have exceptional court awareness and have active hands for disruption. They are both better defenders than what is perceived IMO. They both seem to give adequate effort on that end of the floor as well which goes a long way to cover limitations
