I just don't understand the drop coverage Portland used in Game 1. If you don't think Kanter can do anything else in P&R actions then... don't play him, simple as that. 30 minutes is way too much for one of the worst p&r defenders in the league. The extra couple offensive rebounds and post-ups are not worth it. It's the first time in a loooong while I see Curry being intentionally guarded like that, it just doesn't make sense (intentionally as in, it's a coaching decision). Then people are like hurr durr Dame is getting torched by Curry. One is being (correctly) trapped on every screen, the other, an even better shooter, is playing 2v1 offense like it's a drill at the practice facility... Anyway both games went roughly as I expected. I expected terrible P&R defense for Portland but I thought they would at least try :D. I didn't think Lowry would have a great game like that though. The Raptors are in trouble imo, Giannis is well defended, Lowry has one of his best games (which he definitely won't come close to reproduce), and you still lose. I think Kawhi was gassed at the end. | ||

The Raptors play their bench so little that the Bucks can crank up the pace and tire the Raptors starters out. George Hill played another great game on the defensive end. Hill has been a fantastic bench player all playoffs. Milwaukee can legitimately go 10 deep. Other than Ibaka, who has been "ok", the Raptors bench is useless. The Raptors only played their bench for 40 minutes and the group was a combined -33 in 40 minutes. OUCH! Milwaukee has been the clear #1 team in the East all year.. its just that the first 25 games of their schedule was so brutally hard it was not noticeable in the Win-Loss column until later in the year.

He has not played this much in years. I think his legs are a bit weak in general. I think if you want "full power" Kawhi you can only play him 36 minutes a game. All these 40+ minute games add up. In MMA there is a saying .... "you can either have great power or great endurance... you can't have both". As an extremely high power athlete I don't think Leonard should be played 40+ minutes a game on a regular basis. ONce in a while .. maybe. 5 of Leonard's last 7 games have been 40 minutes or more. Its catching up with him. I don't think that ever happened with the Spurs. "Toronto's best player is leaking oil, Matty D! ! !" | ||

One thing that's flying under the radar a bit is how useless Green has been offensively. Shooting quite horrendously for an all-star 3pt contestant, he's not even that well guarded either. Yeah he is not, it is too bad such an unreal night of shooting by Lowry didn't work out as a W but mind you Lopez popped off on the other side. If Kawhi keeps this up, "load management" is going to become super common! | ||

It rewarded tankers New Orleans and LA. False#2. Now Chicago, Phoenix, and Cleveland will be bad for another year, tanking or not. | ||

Welcome to the Danny Green experience. I started playing fantasy basketball last year. I think he had the most adds and drops of any player. Somebody takes a chance on him almost every week and drops him soon thereafter. | ||

You want what the kings did what tge hawks did, that is all healthy. Again unless you are saying LeBrons groin injury was not real or something they did not tank. They were trying to make tge playoffs. And the pels didnt tank at all they played Davis less because he demanded a trade and they didnt want to risk what happened to boogie. | ||

The sixers "tank" was just avoiding overpaying for mediocre veterans. Its just smart roster building. What the Lakers/Pelicans did was intentionally reduce the number of games they would end up winning, given the roster they had. The kings and the hawks? The kings core is Bagley and Fox, two lotto picks. They were hopeless for years. Plus, more likely than not in a few years people are going to be making fun of them for having overpaid Stein and Bogdonovich and stalling out at 47 wins and a first round exit. The hawks? They won 29 games they aren't good. They might make the playoffs one day with that core. But you could make the playoffs with the Bulls shitty core, or the Suns, or any of these crappy teams. All you have to do is overpay for a few 29 year old guys in free agency. The difficulty is getting a core that can win playoff series. Neither of your "good examples" has that. | ||

I like lots of players on both teams. I just am salty towards Kawhi and don't particularly like Giannis' game. | ||
