Re: 4/5 - 4/13 Games Discussion Thread

Cole Aldrich played the game of his life. And for some reason Quin Snyder decided that Rudy Gobert didn't need to play at all in OT.

The inability to the get the rebound to seal the game in regulation was the killer.

That's a terrible loss for Utah. Should have taken that one.

Re: 4/5 - 4/13 Games Discussion Thread

I have a hard time seeing Gobert get punked by Aldrich in the 4th quarter and in OT like Favors did. It kills me how soft and nonchalant Favors can be sometimes.

He has so much talent, and some of the best physical tools I've seen for a big man in a long time. But sometimes it just looks like he doesn't care. I don't know if that's his demeanor or what, but he's better than this. Hayward was the only one who brought it tonight. I can't blame Hood for shooting poorly. He shot good shots, they just weren't falling.

But Favors has to play defense. It's his calling card. And Snyder needs to see that Favors is struggling, so he should get his 7'2" big man who is one of the best paint protectors in the NBA in the game.

Man, I haven't been this disappointed in the Jazz in a long time. We better ****ing win out.

So Giannis shot 4-5 From 3 vs Boston. Its scary seeing how effective he can be if his shot is falling. Hopefully he works on it all off season.

I feel your pain man. I feel your pain

I know that feeling too. Heat went through the same thing last season fighting for that last spot after a whirlwind year.

From LeBron leaving, to signing Deng as the replacement, to the emergence of Whiteside, then trading for Dragic, then Bosh with the blood clots.

As for the upcoming Playoffs, not really sure who I'd want Miami to face but I think we match better against the Hawks. Boston has always given us problems and Hornets are on a roll right now.

For the West, the Warriors IMO have an intriguing match-up against the Jazz. The match-ups have been close this season and I could really see the Jazz winning one at home. My prediction would be Warriors win 4-1.

Wow man. I skipped out on a chance to go to this game. And now it looks like it could potentially be the record breaking preventer.

Meanwhile in Chicago, Cavs looking like trash yet again late in the game after being up for most of it.

Re: 4/5 - 4/13 Games Discussion Thread

Sometimes I just don't get it. It's sequences like these that just make me scratch my head or want to pull my hair out.

I know Steph Curry is one of greatest 3 point shooter of all time, but when you're only up by 1 point, and you have the ball, and the game is down to one minute and under, there is really no need for a dagger 3 (especially when you've been missing some 3s all game long). Yes, it puts you up by 4 points, but if you miss the shot, you're still only up by 1.

Steph Curry shot two 3 pointers and missed both 3 pointers under 1 minute (or whatever the time was left), only to be up 1. That is not really smart basketball at all. That's playing with fire. That gives the opposition the opportunity to win with a final shot. Going for a two point shot (and making it) would only give the opposition an opportunity to tie.

Had Steph simply gone to the basket, three things could have happen (if it happens like it suppose to):
(1) Scored 2 points, and be up 3 points
(2) Scored 2 points and gotten a foul, and be up 3 points.
(3) Missed the 2 point shot, and gotten a foul, and likely 2 free throws and still up 3 points.

Just my two cents.

Anyways, onto the next.

We were discussing this a few days ago. It seems to be a fundamental part of his/their identity now, for good or bad.
