National Basketball Association - 2022/23 Season (Part 1)

Liking Embiid and hating Harvin has me really conflicted on this series.

I used to hate Harden when he was on the rockets and playing the Warriors because being a free throw merchant was super frustrating to play against. Now that heā€™s an underdog and fucked over Kyrie & KD and dipped out on an anti vaxxer I kinda want him to do well.

Dallas out playing Suns out of the gate. Kinda want suns to win even though I dislike them simply because Suns vs Warriors is much more hyped match up. Nobody going to care when we Mollywop the mavs

On the other hand CP3 losing is always fun and I donā€™t really find Booker likable either

I feel like if Iā€™m the mavs here I obviously like being up but donā€™t want to need Luka to get 50 to win

They are moving the ball and letting guys handle it and get into a rhythm. It hasnā€™t been Luka dominating the ball for 90% of all possessions like the first two games.

If Luka gets 50 in that offense thats great because it still means the rest of the team is getting lots of touches and opportunities

Edit: Looks like heā€™s doing more hero ball now. They started off really good with the ball movement at least.

Weird to go from watching that Warriors game where they werenā€™t calling shit to this one where it seems like they call a foul every drive.

Does the main camera angle feel a little off? Like itā€™s too high?

Well this one got out of hand quickly.

From about 3 minutes left in first half to halfway through 3rd, wheels came completely off for Dallas. I will credit booker playing aggressively for first time this series, ayton getting involved and bridges playing great on both ends.

Not much I can add other than luka played too much hero ball early on, pulling his teammates out of game. Still give them a decent chance of winning game six.

Two horrible game fives today. So crazy. Hometeams crushed after getting back home.

Thatā€™s from the Canadian exchange rate.

Jesus that Dallas team had 9 assists the entire night. Went away from the ball movement that won them those two games and went right back to iso ball.

I mean suns are just the better team too, and Monty made some great adjustments, but damn guys pass the ball.

Damn Mark Jackson is literally one of those dudes who stands on a corner and screams religious shit at people passing by

Damn theyā€™re really letting these teams play. Wonder if refs got a memo to call less fouls because even commentators have been talking about the reffing along with all the coaches, players etc.

Bud getting his ass handed to him. Has no idea how to coach an offense without Middleton. If itā€™s not Giannis and Jrue iso, itā€™s letting Grayson Allen dribble into the lane because thatā€™s exactly what Boston wants him to do. Also letting Hill and Lopez get abused on defense.

I mean, itā€™s insane how they get no contributions from anyone but Giannis or Jrue for five straight games and they are inefficient because of the burden they have to shoulder. Nobody else has been able to anything all series.

Iā€™ve found his coaching sus since the nets series last year

Maybe Celtics D is just all-time great and the rest of your dudes are no match for them? That is the story Vegas odds have been telling this whole time.

Damn blown wide open. Celtics just out coaching and out playing the hell out of them.
