That’s a good question, and I guess we can maybe attribute some of it to a lack of playoff experience, though it’s so extreme it isn’t all about that. And playoff experience is less of an excuse for Houston. Given their youth, Houston played a decent series last year against the Warriors, though that was with VanVleet and Green. Even with KD out all but one game they should have been able to win that.
Exactly! I watched that game for a while before going back to bed. It was frustrating watching the lack of offensive ideas from the Rockets. I'm not going to lie, I was also disgusted by some of the flopping that Reeves and Smart used to disrupt the Rockets half court offence. I thought playoff basketball was meant to ignore that nonsense
The Hollywood Fakers…no one bitches and moans more than Luka and Lebron..Did you see how he screamed when he got his shot blocked in the low post.. they reviewed it and overturned it before they went to a commercial break..that’s ridiculous
Its the SMART move!!! This is gonna be Brown, White and Pritchard shooting 3 bombs like they are in the Middle East or Eastern European Bloc.. This is truly you live be the 3 you D....by the 3.. Two things that Philly have in their favor.. no Doc Rivers and James Harden.. This is the game they wished they still had Drue Holiday and Al Holford to provide spacing.. Emibiid is gonna look like Godzilla vs Japan!!
and if Boston lays an egg tonight, add them to the list. They were up big in the series.
Its like building a sandcastle on the beach.. you have to build and complete it early because you dont know when the tide (injuries) will come in
When you don't see them on TV, it's because they're on Prime. Somebody told Amazon they could host sports and so they tossed their hat in the ring for NFL, NBA and anything else they can outbid.
I didn’t realize that until last night, was watching a show on Prime and noticed they were advertising the NBA playoffs. Wouldn’t have access otherwise aside from going to a bar. I can only take “this NBA” in small doses anyways
Life was better with cable.. soon the local news will be on a streaming service.. we are definitely getting our pockets squeezed to watch live tv
The problem for me is even though I have Prime, the Canadian version cannot show it because of regional deals. Not nice.
I don't really have Prime to watch stuff. I have it for the shipping. Been watching NFL Thursday night the last couple of seasons and frankly who told NBC to get involved in the NBA again? The musical chairs you have to do to watch a game this year is crazy. I remember when TNT and ESPN (ABC) carried all the games between them and then ABC carried the finals.
At least it isn’t as bad as games where Wemby chucks up a lot of 3’s when he is 7’4 with a 100 foot reach
They don't have a plan B. All that iso ball is all they know. They are currently being crucified by a Philly team passing the ball like a hot potato.
You may have spoke too soon. Don’t underestimate Philly’s choking ability, it’s top class even with no Beard or Rivers.
Whether Philly fully chokes or not, it doesn't negate what I said about Boston. Right now they're getting help from the zebras to keep the game close.
