2024 NBA Playoffs

[Tlyons]

Jokic doesn't seem quite as automatic as he was in last years playoffs in the paint/midrange.

 

[Tlyons]

If they get this from Reid consistently...

Look out.

Gobert guarded him the best of anyone last year in the playoffs. He shot under 50% against Minnesota and had his lowest PPG.

Still had a great series, no doubt. But no one was able to contain him like Minnesota.

Said all season this was the one match-up that was gonna give Denver problems if they got them.

Didn't the Cavs want Reid?

 

[Jscc]

That should do it. Good win for Minny.

 

[Rich]

Yea, it might be a short series alright, just not the way people were saying.

 

[Tlyons]

Man Gobert has deflected the Jokic to Gordon dunkers spot pace several times tonight.

I remember Anthony Edwards had questions with work ethic and attitude coming in the draft. He had his worst performance in the playoffs last year. Young players do become better and learn with experience. I am still hopeful with Mobley and Garland. Cavs just need a balanced roster and a different voice.

Also Michael Porter Jr is just not a guy I want on my team making 40 million a year. He's the guy who will hold them back long term from having a dominant run.

I fully expect them, if they lose this series, to try and move Porter Jr.

Wtf kind of defense was that by Denver?

Well, 2 of the 3 Minnesota big men can shoot well from the outside (KAT and Naz Reid); until Mobley can develop a more consistent midrange and 3-pt shot that hurts our present situation on the front line; and that doesn’t even begin to address the DG and Donovan pairing and fit

 

[Real Deal]

I'm convinced Antman was swimming in Jordan's nutsack sometime ago.

 

[pinoycavsfan]

Edwards gives credit to his USA team experience. Can somebody get Mobley in the team. Everyone that played with the national team had great seasons except for Lillard.

Huge win by Minny to win game 1 in Denver

 

[Cement]

Jokic had 32 points but needed 25 FGAs. Just 99 points for the game for Denver. This Minny defense is something else.
