Second Half of the Season March-April Regular Season Discussion

Re: Second Half of the Season March-April Regular Season Discussion

I wouldn't call it a collapse, they were up by like 4 after coming back from down 10, that was a really entertaining game though, Draymond not getting kicked out (pun intended) and then iso defending Segun (who was seemingly unstoppable in the 2nd half) on the final possession was poetry

There was one play in particular that prompted me to predict it would be another collapse. It was when they had a chance to take the lead and they threw it out of bounds/in the backcourt.

Sengun was 4-10 in the 4th quarter. Once GSW/Draymond forced him out a little further and played the drive (they invited the jumper) he was fairly neutralized, especially after the hack-a-kiwi got Adams out of the game to limit offensive rebounds. But because Jalen was sitting (dude had more TOs than baskets) Sengun was their only option in the halfcourt offense.

Rockets just didn't have enough offense on the court down the stretch.

Don't get me wrong, Sengun played good. But if all your shots come within 10 ft of the basket 12-28 isn't going to cut it. Houston needs someone to help in the halfcourt sets. Warriors will live with Sengun taking a turnaround hook from the FT line every time.

I could definitely see Houston making a move for a star.

Refs admit blown call on Hardaway Jr's jump shot. Sucks for Pistons fans.....hoping the Knicks take care of business and wrap up this series at MSG tonight.

It was a foul by the letter of the law but not a foul based on how they called that game all game long.

Tough way to end your season up 7 points with 40 seconds left in OT.

And thus begins an interesting off season for Milwaukee.

There's too much noise surrounding Giannis wanting to leave...

Bad last impression with Dame likely out most if not all the next season. Not too many ways to improve team with guys like Lopez and Portis being FAs as well.


If I'm Houston and I lose against Warriors, I'm definitely going all in.

Yeah, Green and Smith Jr. (w/ filler for salary matching) is probably the starting offer.

Either someone like Reed Sheppard, or Eason and picks. Rockets have Phoenix picks, Brooklyn swap, and their own. It can give the Bucks 3 young players and a potential top 10 pick this year to start a rebuild.

I'm shocked at how Ime has utilized (or not utilized) Smith and Green. Getting pulled from the starting lineup and benched for crucial moments in close playoff series' games isn't a good sign for your future on that team.

Watching the Knicks play without their best players in the game. But not taking a timeout or foul to get them into the game was ****ing insane.

I’m not a fire the coach guy but between how our offense has looked for large stretches and the mismanaging the end of the game….they better find a way to win this series

I think they will win this series. But Pistons are closer than people realize. It's how I feel about the Rockets-Warriors Series.

This was definitely not a good look for Thibs at the end.

How many draft picks would it take?
