It's a wrap, this team does not travel well at all and combine the Hawks can't miss from 3 it feels like, and it becomes hard to beat a team like this when they are hitting 3's over guys hands. Maybe NY takes game 5 but no way this gets to 7.
Knicks lack a legit go to guy, Randle just bombed this series and Barrett can't put up points in flurries consistently.
Team also lacks a legit big with Mitchell Robinson down that can hang with a rebounder like Capela too. Like a physical sort of rebounder who will limit the second and third chance points. Figured Capela would abuse the Knicks this series, Noel & Gibson have been serviceable and Noel has been great defensively but they get overwhelmed by bigger guys inside. Embiid & Capela and Jokic.

I really thought we were going to win this game at half time. That 3rd quarter was just fucking brutal. Ugh.

Bogdonavic was hitting these shots with a hand in his face with the shot clock winding down for crying out loud :lol: Not many teams can beat someone like this, this is like a poor man's Golden State mid 2010's style of team.

Sucks this is the 3rd incident with the fans returning, sort of makes the whole return of the fans look bad. EDIT: Not that it deserved the water bottle throw which is dangerous but what a fucking fool by Irving to stomp and wipe his feet on the head of the Celtic logo. So glad Knicks didn't get Irving, he's absolutely unlikable with so much of what he does.

We are going to get another Malice at the Palace honestly. Guys like Draymond Green & Patrick Beverley I would not dare try any of this on. Damn shame. The fans don't care about player safety or protocol.

Beating Utah in a series is tough. You gotta hope they shoot badly from the 3 for four games.

I'm not saying Luka isn't a superstar. I'm just not gonna anoint him yet. He's the poster child for the early season MVP award. The season is 5-20 games old. OMG, LUKA MVP?! The NBA more than any other league loves that shit. Quite the stupid criticism for a guy who crushes it throughout the year and especially in the playoffs. He’s been damn near unguardable again by Kawhi and George. Two guys who are supposed to be elite or borderline elite defenders. Luka is a stud. It’s been anointed. I mean, if this was a 1-on 1 league Luka would be the MVP but, it's not. I'm just saying, Doncic has time to prove this anointment valid. Right now, I find it a bit over the top. I say he's a top 15 player trending upward.

Your response doesn't highlight an issue I have with these types of debates. If you say you believe Luka is a top 5 player & I say he's a top 15 player trending upward, is it really that big of a deal? not to me. However, it's a big deal to you since you called my opinion asinine. Settle down, we're talking sports. There's no need to sound egotistical.

I know CJ is the second option but I've seen it too often, especially when their offense relies so much on Dame bailing them out, where CJ gets the ball when Dame literally can't be stopped and messes up the momentum.

Me at home watching the Lakers lose They really shit the bed tonight. 24 pts from Bron isn't nearly enough, he's gonna have to score 30+ with AD out. Schroder and KCP scoring ZERO points between them didn't help matters either.

DAME is the TRUTH!
I want a Game 7 between those teams. Take care of business in Game 6 Portland. Let's get that Game 7.
I think Doncic is Top 10.
Brooklyn/Milwaukee is going to be awesome, btw.

Without thinking too hard I have eight guys who I’d definitely have ahead of him, and then there’d have to be some discussion on the Kawhi/Lilllard/Butlers of the world and where he slots in that tier. (For the record the top tier I put in was Giannis, Lebron, Harden, Durant, Curry, AD, Jokic and Embiid, not necessarily in that order)

I think Dame/Doncic are same level. I'd let either one have the final shot in a game. But yeah, they can easily be 9/10 in a top 10.
