Don't think the Nuggets can take the 3rd seed just looking at the schedules, but we'll see. If Dallas beats Detroit today they'll be a game behind the Lakers for the 5th seed. Praying for a 3/6 Clippers/Lakers matchup in round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, the Clippers and Suns would have to face in the semis and you guys would get the Nuggets (out Murray) or Mavs. I think you would be pretty confident going into those series. I thought before Murray went down Nuggets and Jazz would be another great series if it happened. Unfortunate for Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Philly can beat Brooklyn too in that awful scenario, but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyronnosaurus Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I’m not lying when I say minus Luka the Mavs are the worst team in the league. What a disgustingly bad organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD is now shooting 55/45/87 from the field. I said it last time, but the game has always been easy for him but now it's on another level. Like he's just ridiculously efficient and unstoppable. So fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 When the Knicks traded for Rose it was hard not to roll your eyes. There goes Thibs again getting his guys. Here you had IQ playing well, but Knicks were gonna go waste more minutes on a vet... but that trade is looking like it potentially was the catalyst for this little turnaround from fighting for the 8 seed to possible top 4 seed and it is a joy to watch. Knicks are 19-8 with Rose Prior to his arrival (+ his 11 inactives since joining them) they were 16-20. He's the leader of a bench unit that has been the engine for this run. Averaging 13.6 pts on 49.2 eFG% and 4.1 assists a game, the Knicks are +11.5 with him on the court, and +11.6 points better with him on court vs off the court. Both numbers lead the Knicks by far. RJ and Randle have both seemed to get better as the season has went on, but ultimately it really looks like the key to the turnaround was Derrick Rose, and that's awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomaxgrUK Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Loving the Defense from the Nuggets bench right now. It's not particularly pretty on the other end of the court, hence Malone having to sprinkle in Facu/MPJ with them, but I am not used to seeing the Defensive energy and cohesiveness that they are showing on Defense. A lineup of Shaq Harrison, Austin Rivers, Paul Millsap, JaMichael Green and MPJ/Dozier/Facu would've scared the crap out of me a week ago - now, I really enjoy watching it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see 54/47/88 from nba.com and bball-reference but either way that's still insane. I remember watching Bron in 2017 or 2018 in the regular season and thinking wow, the game is a joke to him now… even Brian Scalabrine during a broadcast mentioned that…. Well, I have similar vibes watching KD now. Game is a joke to him lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at basketball reference. 55.3% from the field 47.2% from 3PT 87.8% from FT... rounded it up to 88% He has a 62.6% TS lol And, yeah... he’s at that point in his career where he’s just so good and so experienced that he has an answer for everything. I love watching all time players after they hit 30 for that reason. They might not have their same athleticism but their experience makes up for it. Not like that 7’0” sharp shooter even needs much athleticism to get just about any shot when he wants it. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they lose in athleticism, they gain in the mental side of the game. That's why Bron to me was/is better in his 30s than he was during 2012/2013. Everyone points to that version of LeBron as being the best but he had weaknesses that he simply did not have in his 30s. KD wasn't ever super athletic like that and that's why I had no fear of him returning to form after his Achilles injury. What he does well wasn't going to change because of that injury and he had the luxury of returning after 16 months when he was fully healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
