The last time the Bad Boy Pistons won the ECF, NBC reporter walked right up to Jordan after the game and started interviewing him.
Pistons were NBA champs and had just advanced to the Finals for the 3rd straight year. The broadcast team spoke to MJ.

It is what it is.

NBC? In 1990, CBS was lead broadcast partner for the NBA. It was their final year before NBC took over for 1990-91.

ONCE AGAIN, Jamal Murray is in YEAR 7 and is SECOND BANANA ON HIS OWN TEAM, yet he's a future leader of the entire NBA? This isn't 2010, plenty of pro athletes tear their ACL and return the same...which is exactly what Murray did. He's the same 18/5 on ~45/36 guy he was.


Remember when I was arguing with this nikka about Jamal Murray (and others) being the future of the NBA and he went on a tirade about how Jamal was an 18/5 guy?

Good times :mjlol:

Lakers fans in here...

LeBron is clearly too old to attempt pushing himself for the entire duration of a game anymore. When he does you get the horrible settled for 3s from last game because he can no longer just drive to the basket every possession. The biggest issue I see for him is the fact that those walk-up 3s are an essential part of his game but he's in one of the worst shooting slumps of his career. If he cannot score, his ability to facilitate and keep the defense honest fades away and they gonna treat his ass like Draymond Green or Dillon Brookes on offense.

What is the solution? He's also apparently gonna need surgery on his foot in the off-season too. This is not looking good for dude. I won't say father time got him just yet but it's starting to leave messages on this mans voice mail.

So Ham does not want to upset DLo to the point where the team’s results suffer?

It is not working in this series. It is time for a change. Start Lonnie?

No game proved more that it’s a make or miss league than yesterday’s game. 3 missed threes by Bron (good shots he very regularly makes those) and 3 3 by Murray in a short time totally flipped the game and the energy around.

So many wide open missed shots and a late game unnecessary foul by AD - both killed any chance we had to win this game.

Shouts to Rui going 8/10 from the field for 21 points.

Shouts to Reaves for going 5/9 from
3 and scoring 22

Going to require strategic changes, without AD we are done. He needs to be a consistent player - to be considered a true superstar.

He bussin his gun a bit too early here.....but I get it, he can use this as bulletin board material to motivate his team. But that's a speech you make after you won the series. Not now.

And to be quite honest, jokic was great the 1st 3 quarters of game 1 but almost cost them the game at the end of game 1 and played just ok imo in game 2, that was Murray who saved the day imo.

Disagree.

Going on the road up 2-0, needing 1 is the PERFECT time to bust this gun and light a fire under his team.

Game 3 is the natural letdown and momentum shifter game if they lose. They can virtually end the Lakers with a win on Sat.

That "everyone doubts us" chip works great in these championship runs. The Dubs used it over and over again, even when they had to make it up out of thin air.
