NBA: ***2023-24 NBA season***

[HFCS]

I absolutely HATE the late game strategy New Orleans took of taking the easy two not just once but twice.

The reason the easy two is there is because the Lakers WANTED them to take the easy two!!!! If two points was a smart strategy they wouldn’t leave it wide open. Same in college game.

I’m positive analytic analysis would show both of those made 2s were terrible plays.

GS going to get bounced unless they have a big rally in them.

Kings’ Murray twin shoots three’s better than two’s.

Pretty sure he had a game early in the season where he was one shy of most consecutive made 3s in NBA history. He should probably lean into it even more than he does.

Maybe if Zion was in better shape, he wouldn't get hurt so much.....

I mean, maybe? He played 70 games this year and was looking really good. Could just be bad luck now that he seems to be in better condition. You're right though. He doesn't have a good track record.

Just happened to see the OP for this thread was about the Dame trade. I guess we'll see how it pays off in this first series with Giannis out.

Looking forward to Tyrese lighting it up! It's going to be great having multiple Cyclones playing this year. Love the Playoffs anyway, but I will be even more locked in because of Niang and TH.

Edit: And Monte!

This 76ers Heat game is great. If this 7 vs 8 game is an indication, the playoffs are going to be exciting.

Dang it! That's my bad. He was out injured so much I didn't really get to watch him. Slipped my mind when writing my post. Excited to watch him too!

And the Cavs start the playoffs with a W. Gumeorges had minutes but only 5 points didn't see game only the summary

Really physical game in the first half between Minnesota and Phoenix. It's looking to shape up to be a good one.

All these first round matchups are decent. A bit of a bummer that both 8 seeds are missing a key piece. I think most 1st round matchups have chance to go 6 games and don't think we will see any sweeps.

Watching the Knicks 76ers game. Is it just me or does Josh Hart seem like a taller Lipsey. Elite defender, really good rebounder, gets to the basket well, pretty good shooter when open and can get hot some times.

He's been very active under the rim tonight.
Overall very entertaining game with each time taking like 5pt leads frequently.

The remodeled MSG is such an awesome NBA venue. No other arena has that many fans jammed in so close to the court. Utah does as well to some extent.

Luka Garza still getting as many shots up as he can I see. That dude needs to go make a bag in Europe already. His game would play well over there

Joker is the second best player since MJ and it’s not particularly close.
