Chris Paul has a slow release so stop the switch and fight over the screen and let him beat you by 3's
zion v ben
It's not a KD-curry screen, KD is a threat 30 feet away so you can't leave him.
Ayton isn't. Just blitz it and rotate if CP3 actually gets the ball out.
yea if he somehow drills 4 threes before the blitz comes then shake his hand.

nola should trap instead of just fouling instantly next time

I swear Brandon Ingram is an automatic bucket. I don't understand why he isn't taking every shot for the pels.
if its goes to 7 its mean Booker already playing, so I dont see Suns losing
CP3 actually played those Finals with ligament damage in his hand. He had surgery right after the season was over.
Based on how the Suns have played so far , with Booker playing 7 quarters, the Mavs with Luka got this. The reality is, I don't think Luka will be fully healthy so the Suns will win. Calf injuries are tricky
First thing I noticed too. He sounds solidly American now.
Just saw the highlights of Bucks v. Bulls… fucking cruel. Coming from a team led by possibly the nicest guy in the league. Forget he was heavily influenced by Kobe and A.I., at your own peril…
Got this as a Twitter ad (promoted by HHS), good to see from Jrue:
On the one hand, Harden at 32 is looking a good bit worse than Chris Paul at 37:
On the other hand, what that dude in the clip (don't know him, but looking him up briefly, he does seem pretty sketchy) is saying is kind of interesting, given what was posted earlier (one / two), which I hadn't seen before. Hadn't been closely following non-Finals NBA games for several years leading up to 2020, & the first Harden game I ever watched was when he was on the Nets last year.
So I didn't realize there was any complication to the usual "Playoff Harden" narratives. I did notice that he was probably the best player in the Celtics/Nets series last year (pre-injury), but that seems like an outlier (he was way above his overall playoff averages in that series).
In any case, he certainly looks a step or two slow nowadays, whether it's aging, conditioning, injury-related (or all of the above). Also wonder if those April/June 2021 hamstring injuries are comparable (wrt prognosis/improvement) to the hamstring issues Chris Paul apparently had in 2018/2019?
Hopefully nothing like that happens, but since it's come up... Jokic does seem to have some anger management issues. His retaliation after the Morris flagrant foul eventually kept Morris out for 58 games, and a lot of people seem oddly content with the "Morris deserved it" line... when Jokic apparently had a history of his own by that time (one / two).
Was an interesting stat, so following up with FTA per minute in the playoffs, over the past couple years:

That happens especially if you move somewhere reasonably young. He has been in the US for 9 years now.
he's sounded like that for years now. not really surprising since he went to high school in the US
that's not going to make the players give a shit, though. maybe you give everyone on the winning roster $1m or whatever but you still have the problem of the stars being much less incentivised than the bench guys, who also maybe don't necessarily want the team to have another lottery pick.
i just don't really think the concept works for the NBA. the reason it's interesting in european soccer etc is because the matchups are unbalanced, the tournament is unpredictable, and it's a rare chance for smaller teams to play in really meaningful games. none of that applies to a closed league that is already constructed with a bias toward parity

That Jrue ad for the HHS is cool to see. The Holidays are good people and good basketball players. I don't understand why his younger brother Aaron hasn't gotten a real opportunity. The Suns picked him up, but he isn't going to get much playing time there. Some team like the Pistons or the Rockets would be smart to give him an opportunity.
3 guys that aren't even a remote threat to take a jumper, let alone make one? I think opposing teams would be okay with that lineup from the Nets.
idk about Aaron and we all know Jrue is a legit good guy but their other brother Justin is an unvaxxed shithead
Hate to break it to you but Justin is antivax.
As a Pacers fan, I can tell you Holiday isn't that good. He had a promising first few years but never really put it together. It didn't help that McMillan hated playing him. I thought he would stay on the Wizards. At this point, he's just a bench guy.
Man.. Jrue is like the coolest and non nutjob dude ever, how its possible his btother is a dumbass
Oh he's a religious, that explain it.
My dad's very religious and got vaxxed so it's not really a religious thing more as people trying to use religion as an excuse
Nah he's in his 2nd year, he was in the 2020 draft, selected after Melo. He also missed like 65 games this season, so he doesn't even have 1.5 seasons of playing time yet
Plenty of vaccinated religious people as well as nut job atheists
You learned wrong. He's 20 years old only.
He also missed 90% of this year.
Yeah, what Uga said.
At least get your facts straight before the hot takes.
He's got a ways to go but he's still a key piece of the team's future.
Hayes should probably try to avoid dirty plays as his dirty plays remind people he's probably going to prison for domestic violence.
The NBA should adopt the series model from baseball. That way marquee series can be promoted on the national stage to generate more interest.
I didn't watch a single regular season game this year. I've watched every Sixers and Bucks games, plus a Suns and Warriors game. I would watch more regular season games if they did series instead of one-off games.

Having every team matchup be a two-game series would be *great* for player durability also.
Just have it so that if the Suns play the Bucks twice in Milwaukee and zero times in Phoenix in 2022-2023, the Bucks play the Suns twice in Phoenix in 2023-2024.
Would cut the amount of flights needed by like 30%.
if cp3 never pulls his hammy in 2018 like that tweet says, then James Harden and CP3 would've found another time to not show up in the WCF or Finals and lose
cause that's what they've always done.
jrue and his wife are serious Christians...
