Proudfeet Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 And right after I typed that, they doubled their point total in a third of the time elapsed. The gap isn't shrinking much because the Clippers are still scoring though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Harden and Irving have both been ruled out for game 5. I feel like in spite of the series being 2-2 and it being in NY, this is a must win for Milwaukee. I expect they'll do it since they have three of the four best players in the game.

Harden was just upgraded to doubtful. He’s going to test his hamstring in practice and maybe warm ups today. I don’t think he’s going to play, but that’s encouraging for game six at least. And I agree Milwaukee needs to win tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The funny thing is that game 5 could (if they wanted to) be the return of lob city, with Durant taking Chris Paul's role. The problem of course is that Griffin and Jordan are both greatly diminished from what they were 5 years ago. But still...they could try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarGalley Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Harden back in and the Bucks spread went from 4.5 point favorites this morning, to 1.5 pts 10 minutes ago, to 1 point favorite now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking this to mean Kyrie is probably going to be out for a good amount of time and the Nets are treating this as now or never. He rolled that ankle pretty badly.

WarGalley Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Quote 2020-21 All-NBA teams: First: Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Kawhi Leonard Second: Chris Paul, Damian Lillard, Joel Embiid, Julius Randle, LeBron James Third: Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal, Rudy Gobert, Jimmy Butler, Paul George My initial reaction was Kawhi shouldn't have been 1st team and I wouldn't have put LeBron or George on the list at all. Probably would have removed Butler too but this list takes into account position so need to consider that (and I question if position should be a factor in the modern NBA at all). Apparently Tatum loses 32 million by not making the list too which is unfortunate for him given his season. Edit: Donovan Mitchell misses out on the same level of money too it seems.

The same thing applies though, this is a zero sum game. One in, one out. I won't have Tatum in over George. I think George had a better regular season. Maybe LeBron given how much time he's missed? _ Looking at the box score of the Nets Bucks game, Harden might be in, but he's not in game shape yet? And Harris is doing very little to earn himself some respect given how everyone dismisses the Nets team outside of their top three players.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Can't believe this game is in the single digits given how bad the Nets have played throughout most of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George does appear to have the better season (over Tatum) so that looks fair. And yeah, this game should not be single digits. If Bucks squeak out a win, it'll still be a disappointment.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 @Relic, this is why you were wrong before. Injuries have distorted the entire season and playoffs. The best team in each conference got derailed entirely by injuries. The final four teams from last year were broken all season. This playoffs has seen more All-Star players miss at least one game than in any previous year and that's before you consider a lot of guys didn't make the All-Star game because they got hurt mid season.

WarGalley Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I don't like the Bucks offense.. they don't pass enough, players stand around, they make poor shot selection and without someone covering for a rebound and they look really inexperienced under pressure and in crunch time. I hate Harden even more after this game.. and this is the worst game I have ever seen from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 49/17/10/3/2 game. They were talking across the shows today that KD lacks a signature game. Looks like he made them all eat it. Oh, and he played all 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yeah, monster game from him. God I wish there was a healthy Warriors team in the playoffs though I wonder what team would be reviled more in a Warriors-Nets championship scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Oh hey look, Kawhi is going to miss the rest of the series, probably the rest of the playoffs if the Clippers advance and CP3 is out indefinitely and in the protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
