    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I’m not worried about his shooting and I think he is trying to pace himself more since they haven’t needed him as much. There will be games where he is needed, and I suspect he will be able to provide what they need in those games.

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    Sorry the judges were looking for Zarba-ing. So close.

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    Agreed. The Celtics have a lot more ways to generate offense which would help to loosen up the defense. The Nuggets seem very predictable which plays right into Minny’s hands.

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    Knicks look gassed already.

    Derrick White, playoff Alpha

    And if it is all about the money, Brad can still offer the most money, he just needs to wait until the following year. The only question is whether DW wants the security this year, or the added risk for a bigger payday next year.

    Derrick White, playoff Alpha

    Detroit I agree because he would be the first star (or maybe 1b next to Cade) for that dumpster fire. But Orlando would be a great fit next to Paolo and the rest of the rotation would complement those 2 very nicely. Probably just need to add more shooting and they would be a real threat to a...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Offensively I hope they learned from the Miami series how to best attack mismatches. Try to get Mobley switched onto Tatum to drag him away from the hoop and let JB and White go to work on the move against Garland, Mitchell and Strus. Don’t just try to post up and let the defense get set against...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (4) Cleveland Cavaliers vs (5) Orlando Magic

    Am I crazy for rooting for the Cavs in 6? The schedule for game 3 onwards is the same whether the series starts Sunday or Tuesday. I would prefer to have a bit of extra rest during the series rather than front loading it all. Plus game 1 Sunday would be about 40 hours after game 6, with the Cavs...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers - The Danse Macabre

    Knicks in 5. Embiid will have 1 game where he carries the Sixers to a win but will otherwise be limited. Brunson has a massive series. Looking forward to Thibs’ playoff rotation where Hart and DD play 48 mins, while Brunson and OG only play 42.

    2023-24 Celtics

    I hope they play all home games at night. Seems like road teams outperform expectations during day games. I think HRB has commented on this before in the gambling thread.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Bucks now 1-3 with Doc. Doc also playing Giannis and Dame much more in the 4 games. Giannis averaging 39mins/game (season average 35) while Dame is averaging 38 mins/game (season average 35). SSS and all the games have been close in the 4th quarter, but will be interesting to see how they...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    If it was only about meeting the 65 game minimum, he didn’t need to be out there with 4 minutes to go in a 14 point game when he had already played 30 minutes. I think he was probably fully cleared to play. Whether the medical staff should’ve cleared him is a question we will never know the...

    1/8 - Indy 2: Electric Boogaloo

    I I get that but wasn’t their primary thing getting a team’s star player(s) in foul trouble? Not overturning the un-overturnable. The Celtics don’t have foul trouble last night, and other than the last 2 plays, it didn’t strike me as particularly bad reffing. They didn’t have instant replay...
