Topic: 2023-2024 NBA Season - Draft Day to Playoffs

[synchro_01]

This is the stat that killed the Lakers....offensive rebounds.

Tonight DEN only had 3 the whole game.  Meaning...MIN was faster to the ball and gave more effort.

Total rebounds 42-34 in favor of MIN.  Blocks 6-2.  dito pa lang alam mo na hirap ang DEN sa length ng MIN

[Tha_Mann]

Nuggets learned that they cannot coast along thru 3 quarters and only step on the gas in the 4th. This is a different team. Jamal needs to get it going early in the game pa lang and not in the second half.

 REVENGE series ito😁


Nice game lakers fans🤣

[Tha_Mann]

But of course, credit goes to T'wolves defense din. Gobert is their anchor on defense.

[VenoM_Unleashed]

Expect "who's your daddy" to make adjustments sa 2nd game, magaling na coach yun, pero kung di sapat adjustment nya wag naman sana baka sila ang ma walis ng Wolves

Hahaha...no..Lakers pa din all the way.   Panahon pa lang ni Magic fan na ako.  Excited na nga ako sa off season.  Sana makuha nila si Coach Bud

may kanya kanyang panahon talaga sa NBA.  MIL had theirs, GSW naka isa pa....DEN is the present.  MIN might be the future.

[Moks007]

Lots of people, media and players say gobert is overrated and don't deserve that money, and stupid trade. His presence alone because of how big he is an advantage on both offense and defense. Wolves management already see ant and towns for their offense. Gobert is just there for defense presence and rebounds.

Im very happy for him.

Nangangantiyaw lang. personal kasi at galit na galit yung iba sa nuggets sa pagkatalo
Ng lakers, lalo na sa fb.


Parang yung galit ko kay lebron🤣

[synchro_01]

Grade school pa lang ako Lakers fan na ako.

The culmination of my Laker fanaticism was when I had the means to travel na.  Was able to watch my first game in Staples Center back in 2009.  Kobe-Pau against a very young and disgruntled LBJ leading the Cavs before he jumped shipped to MIA the following year.  Gusto ko maiyak eh when I saw the banners and the retired numbers.  Tayo talaga balahibo ko when I entered the building. 

I have finally reached the temple of the Laker universe.

2011 nakapanood ulit ako ng game and na tyempuhan ko na may book release si Shaq and he was there to sign the book.   Was able to shake the hand of that man and to date the signed book is still here in my bookshelf.

[synchro_01]

i expect nuggets to make adjustments in the 2nd game..

Which they should.  They average 115 points per game the entire year.  99 lang sila kanina.  Their usual go to plays on offense were well scouted and covered.

Murray wasnt a factor in the final 3 minutes.

(AP) - Preview capsule of the Western Conference semifinals between the OKC Thunder and Dallas Mavericks starting on Tuesday:

No. 1 OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER (57-25, 4-0) vs. No. 5 DALLAS MAVERICKS (50-32, 4-2)

Season series: Thunder, 3-1.

Story line: After an impressive first playoff series together for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and the rest of their young core ended in a sweep of New Orleans, the top-seeded Thunder should get a tougher test against the Mavericks. Dallas won 16 of its final 20 games in the regular season, then knocked out the Los Angeles Clippers in six games.

Key matchup: Gilgeous-Alexander vs. Luka Doncic. The NBA’s No. 1 and No. 3 scorers were perhaps the top two guards in the league during the regular season. Doncic averaged 33.9 points, with Gilgeous-Alexander at 30.1. Both do far more than just score. Alexander was second in the league with 2.0 steals per game, and Doncic was second with 9.8 assists while also grabbing 9.2 rebounds per game.

Numbers of note: Dallas had a 30-0 run against Oklahoma City in the first matchup this season — and lost the game. The Thunder recovered to win 126-120 on Dec. 2. Oklahoma City also scored 126 in another matchup and 135 on the final day of the regular season, while Dallas rang up 146 points in its lone victory. ... Oklahoma City allowed a league-low 89.5 points in the first round. ... Irving shot 23 for 37 (62.2%) in two games against Oklahoma City. He averaged 30.5 points and Doncic scored 34 per game in two appearances against the Thunder. ... Gilgeous-Alexander scored 22 per game vs. Dallas.

Prediction: Doncic and Irving are rolling and the Mavericks gave them quality help up front during the season with the acquisitions of P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford. It pays off now with an upset. Mavericks in 6.

===

Not mentioned in the report is the shoulder injury sustained by Maxi Kleber which could force him to miss the rest of the playoffs. He’s been an important contributor off the bench for the Mavs.

fake news yata, hinde raw sya goat..

[synchro_01]

despite a herculean effort by Banchero, ORL lost to CLE in G7.

Donovan Mitchell and the gang will live to fight another series.

[Wiggum]

^ This should be a sweep for Boston. The Celtics have the backcourt to contain Mitchell and Garland, who account for a bulk of Cleveland's offense. Series starts on Wednesday too, so might not be enough time for Jarrett Allen to return to form.

Porzingis is injured, but I think Celtics in 5 or 6

Okoro had a good defense on bachero; mitchel seems to mature a bit, mobley and levert played good offense/defense..

Ant got a technical foul for taunting/stare down. Angas talaga, inis pa din ako sa kanya dahil sa ginawa nya kay Bo Cruz hehehe

NBA rescinds this idiotic tech foul on Ant Man. Buti naman kse napaka walang kwentang tech foul ng ref to.

Mismo bro. Ano yun? Bawal i-stare down yung champs? hahahaha

Tomorrow I fully expect the Nuggets to go all out in the first quarter,  They haven't won Q1 in 6 games this post season.  Not the best formula to defend your crown if you ask me,  They needed two clutch shots by Jamaal in the Lakers series.  Last game eh they didnt have that opportunity anymore to salvage a win
Pag sila nasabayan ng MIN till Q4 eh doubt will creep in sa champs.

[synchro_01]

Si KAT dapat tubuan ng common sense  kung kailan susundot sa bola or hindi eh.

Imagine...umpisa ng laro na jump ball eh nag foul agad? 1 second was all it took for him to get his first foul hahahahaha   Tanga di ba?  Parang hindi sya inaasahan sa buong laro.

buti naman, walang kwentang tech foul nga. sobrang soft ng refs haha. minsan pag bigyan na nila yung mga ganun na show of emotions lang naman, unless eh yung sobrang tauting na talaga.

was watching the replay of Nuggets-T'wolves game last night. pansin ko eh hindi kila gaano double team si Jokic, they can afford to because they have three big men.  nabawasan yung pag double team kay Joker eh either drop pass kay Gordon or sa 3-point shooter. and kita na Joker really worked hard nung game na yun, unlike nung sa Lakers series na parang easy lang sa kanya ang game.

ang layo ng prices ng tickets between a small market team and those who have big markets.

IND vs NY @ Madison Square garden - $277 lowest ticket for tomorrow's game

(AP) - Preview capsule for the Eastern Conference semifinals match-up between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers which starts tomorrow:

No. 1 BOSTON CELTICS (64-18, 4-1) vs. No. 4 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (48-34, 4-3)

Season series: Celtics, 2-1.

Story line: After a loss in Game 2 against Miami, the Celtics rolled through the rest of the series, looking every bit like the team that was seven wins better than anyone else in the regular season. That's even with starting center Kristaps Porzingis missing Game 5 with a strained calf muscle that could sideline him for this series as well. Boston finally got its next opponent Sunday when Cleveland finished off Orlando in the only first-round series that went the distance.

Key matchup: Derrick White and Jrue Holiday vs. Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell scored 50 points in a Game 6 loss and then 39 more to rally the Cavaliers to the Game 7 victory against the Magic. He'll have to work for his points now against one of the NBA's best defensive backcourts — and one that's been getting great offensive production from White as well. He scored 38 and 25 in the final two games against the Heat and averaged 22.4 in the series.

Numbers of note: The teams are meeting for the ninth time in the playoffs, having split the first eight. The Cavaliers have won the last three, including a 2018 Eastern Conference finals triumph that had been their most recent playoff victory before beating Orlando. ... Boston is 6-16 in Cleveland in the postseason. ... The Celtics allowed fewer than 90 points in the last three games against the Heat, the first team to allow 90 or fewer in three straight postseason games since 2016. ... The Cavs played without Mitchell in their lone victory over the Celtics in the regular season, coming from 22 down to win 105-104 on March 5.

Prediction: The Celtics may have trouble at some point in the playoffs. It won't be now. Boston in 5.
