2023 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

Push off P was hurt before the clippers even played.

Ja didn’t play late in the 4th due to injury.

Davis missed some time in the first half.

Giannis out with a bad back.

Herro out with a broken hand.

And we all know CP3 will hurt a hammy sometime in the next round or two.

they’re dropping like flies. As fun as these play in games are, it might be better for the NBA to trim the season, not extend it.
Yeah I saw the injuries today .. most of them were accidents nothing to do with play-in games.

I don’t think playing 1-2 more games is the cause. Ja and Giannis weren’t even play-in teams.
 
But isnt the pick they owe us like 2 years away?
They made moves to be championship level. The further out from that goal that they are, the more desperate they will be. Any subsequent, knee-jerk reaction moves are likely to make them worse in the long run. An embarrassing exit in the first round will only help to cause chaos in that locker room.
 
Minny was really bad. They have no bench ( except Slomo) and the 2 supposed star were awful to shoot and pass the ball. Not much chance playing this way. Rudy was correct considering he platy against Jokic and Mike was quite invisible, taking only 5 shoot ( 2 from 3) when he is the most efficient shooter at 3 there. They will have to regroup fast or they gonna get out in 3 games.....

True.. best case scenario they flame out here.

KAT asks to be traded in the off-season.

They have to trade him for some picks to recoup what they lost from Gobert’s trade.

Nobody wants Gobert’s contract so he stays.

They rebuild around Ant & Gobert and are mediocre for years to come.
