I'm tellin' y'all, people gotta be careful talking poo poo

I said the Suns would "walk" to a title after getting to the Finals and we all know what happened

The Suns talked poo poo last year and got clowned by the Mavs

The Mavs ENDLESSLY talked poo poo after that and missed the playoffs

Ja said the Grizz were "fine in the West" and quite well might be a first round exit

Knicks/Heat in a dirty, ugly series where neither team has a shot at the title after feels so right. Just need a scuffle where Thibs grabs onto Jimmy’s leg.

Are Toronto and Milwaukee just gonna swap coaches here? Would Bud be someone who would immediately get another job or is he gonna have to be an assistant for a while?

Why are there a lot more jump ball tie-ups in the NCAA than in the NBA?

It's gotta be the arrow. That and college players are worse, coaches telling kids to use two hands to attempt dispossession of the ball instead of one quick swipe that risks a foul.

Also college players are just generally worse at handles resulting in more loose balls.

Others?

I felt like the Kings/Warriors series was kind of over as soon as Barnes whiffed on that final shot.

He won a title and has quite a few good regular seasons under his belt, even if he has a few playoff series where he’s been badly out-coached. He’d be good for any team looking to make the first or second round.

History can be fickle. Very few care that Sam Jones won ten titles. Duncan basically had a QD in the finals and it didn't get the accolades one would think.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

Yes, his FT and 3P shooting worsened this year while the league on average improved.

Sending Giannis to the line is damaging to the Bucks.

This. This entirely.

And I'm not saying it's done necessarily, because it's not and that's why they play etc., but it's going to be a hell of a struggle for the kings to come back and take it. Certainly won't count DeAaron Fox out though, he has been magnificent.

I thought there was no way the dubs would take 4 straight from the Kings but here we are on the precipice. Crazy.

Look I'm being an entirely reasonable human being right now, can you please not antagonize me?

It was an observation about the fact that Giannis shot really goddamn well from the line in the Finals and it won him a title and in general he's shot at least okay since then so it kinda shocks me that his FT shooting regressed by like three years tonight.

Sorry I framed it in a context that was objectionable, all I meant was Giannis shooting like a beast in the Finals won them the Finals.

Criminally underrated for years, I think SAS was ahead of the curve on this one though as people on the outside were doing the lovely "well anyone can win with the big 3" arguments but then they kept winning...and keep winning...dudes a mack.

That's just the Jimmy special. He'll take those two G-League peasants, the muffin-maker's boy, and that there mangy goat.

He'll beat your big three with anybody because Jimmy's boys want it more, and your big three got complacent.
