ganda ng 3-pt shot ni KD with less than 50 secs remaining ba yun, dagger shot eh. yung last turnover ni Giannis, nabanggit ni Kenny or Charles yata, na it's because nag madali si Giannis, nandun yung takot na baka i-foul sya agad and alam nya na hindi sya reliable sa FTs.

agree dapat si Giannis ang mag bantay kay KD, kung hindi man the whole game eh sa mga crucial minutes na. you want your best player to guard the other team's best player. para saan pa yung DPOY nya dati.

off pa si Harden kanina maybe next game gumawa na siya

Exactly my thoughts.  He was guarding...Joe Harris during crucial moments of the game.  Sino ba sa dalawa yung may capability na talunin kayo all by himself for the entire 2nd half? Joe Harris or KD?   Anlabo ni Coach Bud.

Well at least Giannis can say that he held Joe Harris (2-11 the entire night) to a total of 5 points.

hahaha! parang mas nakikita pa natin mga ganyan kesa sa mga coaches 

madami din talagang na expose na coaching lapses. ang nag improve i think is itong si Steve Nash.

ginagawang asintahan lang ni KD mga bantay nya. the past 2 post seasons, pansin ko hindi magaling mag adjust si Coach Bud.

meron pa isang play na si Harden ang bumantay kay Giannis, instead na kalabawin nya eh tumira ng fade-away at nag mintis. if you're best player on your team, pakita mo kaya mo buhatin ang team to win, just like KD did and played for the whole 48 minutes.

[synchro_01]

I rewatched the final 5 minutes twice already.  There is no other play for the Nets except one on one by KD.  Yung maliit na bantay nilagay kay KD so matic na yun sa kanya,  At that juncture sinabitan na sila ni KD ng 46 points before he killed them with the dagger three at around 50 seconds remaining. 

Where was Giannis? He was camped at the corner three area guarding a guy that had 5 points.  Labo

[synchro_01]

6 to 7 years na yatang ganyan. Remember when he was the coach of the Atlanta Hawks?  Yearly they won 50 plus games in the regular season and yearly they accomplished nothing  in the playoffs.

Milwaukee same results.

Last year pa lang dapat pinalitan na coach nila eh. Mahilig magpreserve ng player. Kala mo naman ang galing magbalasa ng tao. Si Nash bago pa lang pero tapang para babarin stars nya kasi alam nya yun ang need. May balik lang na pwede mapwersa ng husto pero that's the risk you have to take lalo yun lang meron ka and Playoffs naman na so no time to relax.

Breaking: According to Shams, Chris Paul has entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols and will be out indefinitely.

Tough, tough break for the Suns if CP3 can’t return in time for the WCF.

oh no!!! pero they have time i think bago mag start WFC. sana mag negative on his confirmatory test.

[Wiggum]

^ If the UTA-LAC series goes the distance, I think the WCF will start Tuesday, June 22 in the US. Not sure if that’s enough time given how strict the NBA protocols are. Hopefully nga his tests turn out to be negative.

[oznola]

^bigger question is if he indeed has it, when did he catch it and was the whole team compromised? pati Nuggets baka damay. paano kaya yun if ever? default sila? ang saklap nun!

[Wiggum]

So far no report yet regarding other PHX players possibly entering the protocols as well. Shams also says if CP3 has been fully vaccinated, he might be able to return earlier than usual.

More bad news for the NBA: per ESPN, Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss Game 5 with a knee injury. His status for the rest of the series is in doubt.

[oznola]

^damn! parang hindi maganda mga developments towards the end of the season ah.

Kawhi will miss game 5 din daw and prolly the next with a knee injury. Napakamalas naman ni CP3 nakalagpas sa injury curse nadali naman ng Covid protocol.

Grabe daming injuries! 

[synchro_01]

Stan Van Gundy fired by NOLA after just one year.  Coaching vacancy as well in WAS since the extension for Scott Brooks didn't pan out.

6 teams are now in need for a Head Coach (Boston, Indiana, New Orleans, Orlando, Portland and Washington)

Collateral damage stemming from a season of uncertainty.  Injuries, line up changes due to Covid protocol etc.  Head Coaches are usually the ones replaced when expectations are not met.   

I kinda see MIL being added to this list as soon as they fail short to at least compete for the ECF.

[synchro_01]

Time for PG13 to shine. The question is...will he?

[oweidah]

yari CP3

Di rin yata 100% si Spida? Sa mga teams na naglalaban ngayon ATL at MIL lang ata ang walang injuries. Parang ang labanan ngayon mag champion yung pinaka healthy na team.

Highly likely that he will be shut down for the playoffs.

According to the ESPN report:

“For people who test positive for COVID-19, there are two paths to returning to play -- one that is test-based and one that is time-based.

For the test-based resolution, the person must return at least two consecutive negative PCR tests at least 24 hours apart. For the time-based resolution, the person would have to go at least 10 days since the date of their first positive test or the onset of any symptoms, if they had any; go at least 24 hours since their fever went away without using any medication; and have any other symptoms improve.”

A test-based resolution is clearly what the Suns are hoping for. A Game 7 for the Jazz-Clips series also buys them time. But since CP3 has been fully vaccinted, maybe he can return for G1, or at worst miss just the first few games.

Looks like it’s just CP3 who tested positive. Baka nakasama pa na pahinga sila agad at matagal. Baka naging complacent.

[Tha_Mann]

masyado na kasi maluwag sa US parang back to normal na sila, full-packed na nga mga arenas tapos parang wala ng health protocols kaya malaki ang chance na magka hawaan ng covid kahit vaccinated pa. sana lang makabalik si CP3.

sayang si Kawhi, ganda pa naman ng laro nya this playoffs. sya talaga nag dala ng LAC. may sumpa yata talaga itong Clippers haha.

grabe, I forgot na sya pala coach ng hawks nuon hehe. pero alam ko umabot sila ng conference finals nuon, na walang superstar sa team.

I recall the NBA players association signed off on the season start date. So it's not the NBA alone who made the decision. Then the later start date was considered but it would mean salaries are going to be reduced which the players protested.  In the end, both sides agreed on the start of the season. .
