2022/3 season thread

Not as impactful as last year offensively but always a menace on defense, beaming he made this and I'd say well deserved but i admit I'm completely biased :)

Great to hear that man, hope you will get the full all clear 🙏 and a Celtics win tonight as well 😊

Yeah fingers crossed all is good EE, if nothing else you’re in on the ground floor with it. Best of luck.

Best of luck Eagle! Let's go Bawston!

His basketball IQ is very high, he has great defensive timing...I really thought the Bucks would go for him instead of Crowder especially as they barely used Crowder at all in the playoffs....

Embiid is man to man on Tatum again and he's winning the battle. He's 0-4 three quarters of the way through the first quarter.

Man harden is hitting fire in this series last 2 games. Phillies look capable of winning this series.

Most importantly congrats to eagle eye, great stuff, should give us all perspective on what really matters…. And now to get over the top excited about basketball..lol

Celtics in big trouble, Harden to his credit has done a great job this season, as frustrating as he can be, he has been very solid.

I think my team are done, very frustrating to lose to the Lakers but Warriors have been out of sorts, something is off with them

I really hope Denver win it all, love Jokic, he deserves a unreal, as dumb as it sounds seems like there is some reverse racism with him, the man is a stud, such a baller

This is Mazzulla's first playoff run as a head coach. He's made mistakes, it's to be expected. I think he's a great coach and I'm not suggesting for one second that he gets fired. I'm just saying he's a rookie head coach in the playoffs.

Not taking timeouts late in games is a mistake and he's admitted that. We are playing a type of read and react defense which obviously doesn't work against Philly because you've got two experts at drawing fouls in Harden and Embiid. That's on the coach to fix.

This is all a learning experience for Mazzulla and I'm quite confident he'll learn quickly from it. He clearly has a great relationship with the players and I'd expect us to be even better next year.

I'm not ruling us out of this year, just gotta go and win in Philly.

As I've said, for me the biggest issue is defense. Keep your hands up and your feet down, don't fall for the fake. I don't know how many times Embiid and Harden got fouled last night but both of them have really high FT success rates and that makes those fouls stupid. Again that's on the coach to fix.

Good game right now, Warriors throwing everything they got right now but Lakers still there with them, could go down to the wire, really want to win and get that chance in LA to tie it up, go out on their shield. Wiggins is playing well, Klay needs to get in the game, he has a way off

Great win, Curry was off all evening until the end, Wiggins was great as was Draymond, Klay was very poor, he had nothing. Felt like the Lakers flopped more than usual, Davis was in a wheelchair at one point…lol, joking but it didn’t look bad at all (obviously I don’t know)

Happy to get another game, I know we can beat them if everyone plays good, just been way too inconsistent across the board.

Is that officially confirmed ? Warriors were well on their way to winning when he was in but obviously if he is out then it puts a totally different perspective on the series, Lakers have been pretty impressive for the most part, Warriors are a bit all over the place, I can see a lot of things coming out after this season, something is off.

I watched the Kicks v Heat game last night. A cracking game. Butler was covered by at least two defenders all night. He was aggressive for quite a while but then he started moving the ball around rather than take on the impossible shot. He ended up with 9 assists to go with his 19 points, roughly half those points came at the free throw line.

The Knicks led by double digits for most of the night until the Heat started turning the screw in the fourth. They got the lead down to two at one stage but Brunson was incredible all night. Mitchell Robinson was brilliant defensively and the deciding factor in the game was when the Heats tactic of fouling Robinson went against them. I think he missed his first four free throws but then buried four in a row.
