BGleas Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) This Denver-Utah Game 7 is an exciting one. Not really well played by any means, but a 1-pt game under a minute to go. Edit: it was tied when I posted this, now Denver up 2 with 30 seconds left. Edited September 2, 2020 by BGleas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were back to the 80's with a score of 80-78 late in the 4th. What is surprising is that Murray and Mitchell has been scoring 40 plus points themselves in this series Edited September 2, 2020 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Unbelievable finish to the game. Fever up two and they stoled the ball with 10 seconds but missed a layup which gave the jazz one last shot at the buzzer but Conley missed a three.

IU Scott Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Watching the end of OKC and the Rockets and I have never seen so much flopping I'm my life. Been hard to watch this game because on every play some one is complaining to the refs. Billy Donovan did a great job to get this team to a game 7. That roster is not that good and to have them compete at this level is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybergates Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Steve Nash hired to coach Nets. Out of left field but should be interesting.

Seeking6 Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Steve Nash to be named head coach of Brooklyn Nets. Pardon my ignorance. Where has he been coaching at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doncic is like the next Bird That is the goal. I think they are already shopping the 18th pick. The drop from KP to THJ is pretty big. Their third star is Rick Carlisle and Nellie Jr. is really good at making trades. Unfortunately most of the trades he makes are bail out trades reacting to a failed FA chase. IMO, there will be quite a few team shaking things up so if he is proactive in working trades from the beginning the FA/trade period they can probably make a decent deal. I hoe the Pels decide to break up the PG duo of Jrue/Lonzo. I'd take either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where has he been coaching at? He may have ties to Marks. Weren't they both part of GS around the same time. I think it crazy they didn't give Vaughn the job. Should the Pacers look at him? I thought Brooklyn was stalling to get a shot at Billy D. who is NY East Coast guy. Billy is now a FA coach. Maybe he didn't want to deal with Kyrie and Durant bolted on him once. I think he has nice roster of young players if he stays in OKC. Last years draft I clamored for the Mavs to take dort in Round 2 on the Mavs forum. Amazing OKC got him as an UDFA. The Mavs took Isiah Roby who I like but he now on OKC because of the CAuley-Stein trade. Bazley also looks like he is going to be really good. Billy D may have a good hold on the housing market in Indiana. LOL. Wonder if Philly may come after him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porzingis’s durability is key, but if he stays healthy and they get that third player that is at a big 3 or close contributing level, they’re right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see that one coming, really interesting Edit -- So some of the dialogue out there now is whether this will look more like GS's hire of Kerr (with Gentry) or the Nets prior hire of Jason Kidd (which bombed) -- like Nash, neither had prior HC experience. Seems more like Kerr's situation, as Nash has the support of a superstar and a star player both in their primes (and Nash worked directly with Durant in GS), and young and up and coming, talented players, whereas Kidd had aging players in a then Nets' team without a good foundation, let alone vision.

Yep and the announcer was anticipating just that. They could've been using Adams as a diversion but then should've hit someone else running to the basket or a 3-point shooter. End of game breakdown.

Both Game 7’s we’re really exciting! Not really well played, but definitely exciting. The funny thing to me last night was I personally am not a fan of Westbrook, Harden or Paul. All three are great players, but I think when it’s winning time, I don’t really want them as the leaders on my team. So it was funny to see all three of them shrink in the moment. As usual, Harden laid an egg in a big game, Westbrook as usual took bad shots down the stretch and Chris Paul basically ran from the ball the last two+ possessions for OKC.

BGleas Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 As an opposing fan, Kyle Lowery is insufferable. What a whiny little cry baby. Dude complains and yells at the refs when he’s not even involved in the plays, complains even when he gets the call, and of course the constant flailing and flopping. It’s tough to watch when you’re emotionally invested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG made a tough shot. With that said, I’m a huge Brad Stevens fan and I think it’s insane he hasn’t won a COY yet, but I really thought he played that last possession poorly. I don’t think you put Taco or his teammates in that position since nobody is used to him being on the court, and I also don’t think you play zone there. With .5 left I would have gone man-to-man switching everything with a rover in the middle of the court in case someone got lost. I get the thought process with a zone, but as an offensive player I like going against a zone in that spot. I know I can find a seam somewhere, especially with a defender out of the play guarding the inbounded. Just my opinion, it still took a heck of a shot by OG to win that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
