NBA 2018/19 Ben Simmons is ROTY. MEGA THREAD!

This series could be over pretty quickly, they will need to figure out how to score with Leonard on the bench, he looked spent in the 4th.

They defended Giannis well in the first half and he made some nice adjustments (and some Harden like travels) in the second half.

Bucks just look like have a great supporting cast and they won’t shoot the 3 ball that bad for the rest of the series

Im Afraid we don’t have a choice…besides the PR would be great, particularly if we are a chance still to play finals

Yeah. Middleton won’t be that bad again. Got to hand it to Milwaukee, small market franchise but just shows what you can do with a good front office, good coach, a superstar franchise player who you build around with a solid supporting cast. It’s almost an old-school franchise build and not this superfriends crap where players just hop on a bandwagon and ride the coattails of an already great team to win easy rings…

Is randle an automatic keep? From what I’ve seen not particularly good on D, and you’d think he’d only be 3rd/4th in line scorer with Zion there. They don’t seem to have a heap of wing scoring, and he would be very decent trade bait.

Portland are the Essington of the NBA when it comes to giving up big leads. Made an art form out of it.

This could be the absolute worst quarter we’ve put together this season.

Boom. Great down the stretch. Love the Curry match-up.

Raptors players, coaching staff and fans must be livid that they let Game 1 slip like that!

It’s hard enough of a task to win on the road, let alone let a double digit lead slip for the 5th time this play off series for a loss!

Raptors went full Essington mode in the last term :joy:

Warriors are going to be extremely hard to beat. Portland match up surprisingly well to Warriors having knocked them off a couple of times in the regular season, they also let one slip today - you’d nearly need a 20-30 point buffer against the warriors, their shooters are that damn good.

Rappys have their work cut out for them, here’s hoping that Kawhi and Lowry get the support they’re desperate for!

Lucky it’d be Kendall Jenner then. She is exceptional.

Blazers for the 17 point lead playing great offensive game with the ball moving. Curry hit one three pointer to get it back to 14 points and they went back into their shell.

Warriors been here before, know how to get it done. Blazers just couldn’t get it done when it mattered.

Oh yeh, and if you’re going to let the all time greats of Kevon Looney and Jordan Bell score 25 points between them, you don’t deserve to win.

Game 2 ECF just started. I’m not sure Toronto know that yet. 9-0 Bucks run to start it off…

Ummm yeah this is looking ugly for the Raps…

Ilyasova has turned into Dirk circa 2011. 14 points in 10 mins off the bench, 6/9 FG, 2/4 3PT.

Portland D locked in early.

Portland going to win this one easy. Good Portland D and bad Warriors D (too many fouls and free throws)

Blazers ■■■■■■■■ the bed majorly in the 3rd…

Draymond has been amazing.

Some bad basketball by Portland to let this slip away. CJ and Dame have been ice cold, missed 10 FTs. They were up 18 just before HT and now it looks like the Warriors will win in a canter.

The missed FTs are crushing them.
