2022/3 season thread

Real uphill battle now obviously for Brooklyn but as said above, I’m still not totally convinced by the offense of Boston, even if the defence is absolutely elite.

Nets fixed a lot of issues (especially rebounding) from the first game, but I think it’s time they put the ball in Kyries hands instead of hoping for a miracle with Durant when he is surrounded. His handle seems to be letting him down / Boston capitalising on it.

Game was very foul heavy, was a poor watch.

Fair play to Boston though, some brilliant plays

Grizzlies looked poor for the best part of the first three quarters, just got going towards the end of the third. They came back from nearly 30 down with I think 4 minutes left in the third and won it by 9 I think in the end.

Yeah after two good performances in Milwaukee the bulls folded like a deck chair when the bucks made some small adjustments and the bulls looked more like the end of the regular season again. Would love to see more aggression when they're coming up the court, demar always likes to take a slower approach but it just gave the bucks big players to get set rather than take advantage of their slowness. They're up against it now to keep it competitive. Particularly annoying to see them let Allen of all people look like some kind of all star, the dirty little *.

Oooohh I thought we were wearing everything except black. Would be hilarious if he came in, for a triple double and made the game winning shot.

I just can't believe this whole saga is still going. I know he wants to avoid high pressure moments, but I thought at this stage he would have overcome these feelings. Obviously the injury sounds totally bogus and there were suspicions of that when Nash was constantly being asked about his availability and he didn't really have a sure answer.

I'd say they would love to shift him on in the summer but who would even consider a decent trade with that contract and his serious availability issues?

Presti does like himself a few draft picks 😄

watched the Celtics game last night. Another good win, but all 4 games were close. I agree Simmons is a joke. The likes of him could have made a difference.

Yeah but the Celtics are looking like a real playoff ready team this year, they keep getting the win in close games.

I'm starting to believe they can win it all now.

Shutting down KD isn't easy and they've done it twice. That's the first and third games I'm talking about, I suppose you could include game 2 as keeping him under 30 points is impressive.

I read today that Nets management wasn't happy and demanded answers from Ben's team. His response was a mental block about the playoffs which his doc links to his back pain. He really should have said nothing and sat out the season but i can understand Nets wanting some value for money/Harden before the season ended.

That’s huge, sixers are effectively done at this point think

Yea,ridiculous ejection in my opinion, I agree Draymond had one of his moments of madness but you take the good with the bad, refs have been awful for both sides, just soft calls all game.

Rebounds hurting the Warriors but great game, love the energy from both sides
