Other Sports ****OFFICIAL NBA Playoffs Thread**** - Page 97

Have been banned from the other thread by an apparently sensitive snowflake (ironically after dozens of pages of political discussion from others) so I'll stick my thoughts on the NBA Playoffs here from now on. We needed a new thread anyway.

KD Irving and Harden won’t let it happen but it would be nice if though.

Chris Paul has to be like 45 by now, right?

32-20-10 for Jokic. They’re going to lose by 20.

Been a Suns fan my entire life (my dad was born in Phoenix). Super stoked to see them playing like this, especially after a decade of awful.

Huh, wouldn't have guess Carmelo Anthony was still playing and haven't heard of Redick for quite a while.

Guess I should become a Suns fan now... NBA games live are fun (well, the couple I've been to, anyway).

Carmelo was kind of retired for a time I believe and came back. Haslem on that list is essentially a coach. He doesn’t play.

I think the Suns take the West, they're peaking at the perfect time. Unfortunately, if they do their reward will be getting their shit pushed in by Brooklyn in the finals.

Precisely one dude in the league is older than me? :-)

Yeah right. Nuggets have tons of talent. Jokic isn't going to be able to carry a team. It's just how it is with a crafty player with great footwork. Doesn't instill the fear of god into his opponents like Embiid, Curry or LeBron can.

Porter is an elite scorer. Morris is a legit PG. Will Barton is a good player. Aaron Gordon is in his prime. They are just missing Jamal Murray. Never had a chance without Murray.

Yeah Vince Carter retiring was pretty depressing 🤣

I didnt used to believe in Devin Booker. Kind of how I dont believe in Donovan Mitchell. But Booker figured out how to be a more efficient scorer. Mitchell never will. Book > Mitchell. Booker has decreased his volume shooting whereas Mitchelll has increased it.

Murray is a stud..Losing him hurt a lot.
