Re: Nba

Anyone watch KD put on an absolute show today v Bucks? Literally next level stuff, considering Irving is out and Harden was on one leg and ineffective.

Special mention to Chris Paul from the other day too, brilliant performance for the Sun's who I've really loved watching this year.

Yeah it was nuts. But the Bucks choked that game. Poor coaching and poor play from their star Giannis. You have to take those moments. 17pts up with no Irving and a one-legged Harden. Why they didn’t target Harden on defence I have no idea.

Yeah no doubt about that. I like Giannis but he just isn't reliable in the playoffs because he simply can't nail a jumper. That fumble at the end was bad and I felt bad for him but you could see him begin to crack under pressure in the last.

Agree not targeting Harden was bizarre - his movement was bloody horrid and they didn't make him pay for it. Thought a key moment was when Harden motioned/told one of his players he had Giannis 1-v-1 covered, the latter tried a jump shot and blew it (predictably). Why didn't he attack Harden!?

You'd expect Bucks to take game 6. Even without Kyrie and a broken Harden though, can you really trust Milwaukee to win game 7 away?

Agree with everything you said. That fumble was just another of those crucial moments Giannis has failed to deliver in. I hate to say it but is Giannis a dumb player? Does he only have one way to deliver? (Using his muscle to drive to the rim).
Agree his iso jumper on Harden was just dumbfounding. There was so much of that from the bucks in the second half.

You’d surely think the bucks take game 6. I really hope they can take the series still. I don’t like super teams and it’d be great to have a conference finals of Utah v Phoenix and Philly v Milwaukee. I’m not confident in the bucks delivering though.

Sadly, he probably is. Why does he keep attempting the 3!?

He's a great player but he's so incredibly limited.

I liked Brooklyn (first team I saw live in 2016) but tend to agree on the superteam take. It's fun to watch but I really want to see Phoenix take it out with CP3.

Clippers v Jazz is interesting, hope Utah get it done and Hawks v Sixers could be dependent on Embiids health.

Yeah Brooklyn were the first team I saw live too. I like them as a team but not in it's current makeup. Same went for Golden State until they got Durant.

I feel the same way for Phoenix winning it for CP3. Although I wouldn't be unhappy to see Ingles and the Jazz beat them.

Did you see that Paul tested positive to COVID and could miss the whole series? Unbelievable if that happens. He's been vaccinated too. He'll be hoping that the Jazz-Clippers series goes to 7 games.

Geez, he can't take a trick....

That would be devastating. Fingers crossed for him.

Kawhi looks like he's out for the remainder of the series, Clippers won't be taking it to 7 in that case.

Wow. 76ers just capitulated in the last to somehow lose at home v Hawks!

The comparisons with the Dogs over a long stretch are hard to ignore.

Re: Nba

Finally WFH so could check out a game live and oh man that was just so horrible from the Sixers. There's no other explanation for it other than the moment getting too big for them.

Massive choke.

How the hell can Ben Simmons possibly shoot so badly from the free throw line? I have never played proper basketball but I reckon I could go at better than the 4 from 14 he put up today.

Re: Nba

Incredible self destruct by Philly and all of their players looked mentally shot at the end.
