2023 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

You like it when role players talk ****? Lol I don’t know.

Love it… can’t have your main players getting techs but having an agitator is great. We had a certain Aussie who was a role player that talked all that ****.

Here's the plan. Sign Reaves or Brown. If we don't get Reaves, we get Brown. Bring back Beasley (if Lakers match) and get Hendricks and Bilal. We're ready for the 2023 season!!

If Denver calls Cleveland next year offering Murry for Donovan straight up, Cleveland doesn't hang up the phone.

I wonder if the Lakers regret not just taking Conley instead of D'lo.

Again, I think Dlo’s perceived advantage over Conley is his expiring contract.

I still think the Lakers are toying with going after Kyrie. Kyrie won’t get the max but if anyone is tryna prove they’re above the money it’s Kyrie. He also doesn’t have the world’s greatest market value (though he does have Dallas over a barrel).

+ 1 probably the only reason why they make the deal.

Sure, but I think there's a really good chance that they win the championship this season with Conley, which is the ultimate goal.

Jokic averaging 31/13/10 on 56/51/90 shooting so far in this series. He's been unreal.

The pressure off of being the MVP did the trick.

He’s trusting the Force and not over thinking it.

That, or he finally has a healthy and complete roster around him.

Personally I think he finally trusts the Force.

That was a solid flop, that said, though, Jokic had a fair amount of wild flops himself.

Three or four. I can’t remember.

Every year, the people following the draft like players that get drafted in the 2nd. Every year, deals for real players happen where the assets used to purchase them is centered on 2nds. And every year, I hear a lot more about how worthless seconds are.

We need to go and have an intervention with Danny Ainge.

This Butler vs Williams feud is GOLD.

 

[Coach Ellis]

dlo sucks. he's been so overrated in the last few weeks. AD's health, lebron back in the linuep, westbrook's absence, reaves continued rise and rui are the reason the lakers are where they are. the other trade pieces are wildly overrated.

The jazz effing stole that pick. While I really liked Beasley and Vando while they were here, I felt like trading them was absolutely going to be the long-term move. Don’t love the protections on the pick, but I think the Jazz end up with a much better asset than they got for Royce O’Neale when it’s all said and done.

This Heat team is hard not to root for. Just a scrappy hardnosed bunch.
