Celtics are gonna struggle to put away the Bucks. They aren't even close. Honestly, the 6ers are the only team I see with a championship ceiling out of the East. I was super wrong about Simmons; he's a star already.
It was a little fluky how poorly the Cavs shot 3s, but it's really concerning. If James just isn't going to kick up his effort level, the Cavs aren't going far. He's being guarded by Bojan Bogdanovic, a matchup he should be absolutely wreaking havoc with, and yet he still seemed really content to float through that game.
Rondo and Jrue >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dame and CJ Who are these Pels?? Boogie gotta be just A LITTLE upset rn that he can't play.
I noticed that as well. It seems he's fed up with the situation. During the halftime walk off, you could see how pissed he was, yet was restraining it.
Sounds like the Pelicans finally put a halfway competent team around AD at the 5. Rondo can distribute and organize the offence, Jrue's a monster both ways, and guys like Mirotic and Moore can at least knock down shots. It's not a contender, but at least it's something. I know AD prefers being at the 4, but in order to extract his full value the Pelicans need to play four-out one-in around Davis at the 5.
Someone one on twitter noted that The Pelican players look like they haven't had haircuts in weeks while the Blazers came into the series with clean cuts each game. Which speculates that the extra time put into the film room and practice courts are paying off instead of looking fly. I think AD and Rondo just REALLY want to win.. well the entire team as a whole have played EXTREMELY hungry this series so far.. a sweep here and idk what to believe. I wonder how far their hunger will drive them.
Game was completely different back then. Not even comparable. It's true. I think the Pelicans might be the "best of the rest in the West" besides Houston and Golden State.
Terry Rozier is eating Eric Bledsoe's lunch in the Celtics - Bucks series and it isn't even halfway funny lol
No wonder that Bledsoe is getting ripped a new one if he isn't even reading the scouting report to know who Rozier is. This Bucks team's collective basketball IQ level is really low and they're really poorly-coached. Very close to unwatchable with how many unforced errors they make. They should be wrecking this Celtics squad and they aren't. Bledsoe is a primary culprit here with how abjectly terrible he's been in this series. That defence on that Rozier pullup 3 at the end of regulation in the first game was total trash. It's one thing to get wrecked on a crossover, it's another thing to get back up, stand there like an idiot, nd not even try to contest the shot.
Completely childish of Bledsoe, and if he used the word I think he used, he will be seeing a hefty fine. Seriously "Drew," you don't know who Rozier is? Maybe that is why he is abusing you ... since you haven't yet been able to identify him on the court. Edit: @MatthausSammer basically beat me to the punch.
What nearly 20 years ago? Spurs didn’t even use two inside bigs when they beat the heat in 14 They had done outside a lot and even used kawhi at the 4
Cavs not really convincing considering it was a nailed-on must win match! This series could go seven.
