The way the paint was packed, no touch fouls, and the struggle ppl had scoring was awe-worthy.

And as a result they basically took it back to street ball asics... i.e. throw it into the big man and post a smaller nygga up :russ:

Embiid backing down Lebron
Siakam backing down Harden
Posting up AD on Lowry for the win


Definitely one of those quarters you gotta watch again just to appreciate the ambiance and intensity

NBA gotta find a way to make it where the game can't end on a free throw

LOL at "no winning it" on free throws.

So you'd rather we have a Hack-a-Shaq situation where a team that could win by one has a clear path to the bucket?

If you foul on game point just deduct 2 points making it harder for the fouling team to win.

The only real losers are the charity of the losing team. Hopefully the NBA just matches the amount the winning team got and gives it to the losing team behind the scenes.
Silver already said theyre taken care of

Why does he keep pulling the sheets off Harden ?

Giannis own game got eposed down the stretch when that playoff intensity kicked in.
Never thought I would say this but Harden played harder on Defense than offense. That’s fukking weird to say aloud lol

I’m gon rewatch the shyt out of that quarter of basketball

He drafted kemba over harden because "he wanted someone that passed." Harden had more assists and played better defense than kemba


:wow:

The mistake ppl make with Harden defensively is thinking not being good at defense = not being strong

If you want to exploit his dodgey defense by posting him up, well you're actually doing him a favor lol

His issue is he ball watches from the weakside and isn't the best moving side to side.

But if it's just about backing him down.. i mean breh ain't scrawny. Which is why Siakam had a harder time than he probably expected

Brehs wanted the worst defensive player in the NBA to be in the game during a defensive battle. :mjlol:

One team went into the 4th with a 9 point lead and was shut down. The other team was the one playing D, Giannis team had no distributors doing anything and couldn't score. If you have Giannis, Embid, and Butler on the floor you can take a hit defensively with a scorer helping to move the ball on the other end.
