It can also be seen as...in the past 3 seasons, Jimmy Butler just couldn't do it all by himself and loses once again. Disappointing performance by Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry.


Disappointing performances by Robinsons and Herro as well. Herro is obviously hurt, but Robinsons really regress as a player. I believe the low playing time really affected his shooting rhythm.

What i noticed sa playoffs is defensive skills gets more credit than offense. Unless a player is really great offensively, your minutes will go down if you are not good defensively.

Max Strus was the reason why Robinson's playing time evaporated.  The guy plays defense a lot better than Robinson plus he is a more accurate three point shooter (41% this season).  When the playing time dwindled from starter minutes to spot up bench player minutes, Robinson's confidence just wasn't there anymore.

Yes. Sabi nga ng mga Coach...the offensive game is the first skill that any basketball player develops. The ability to put the ball in the hoop. When one joins organized basketball, that's where players just begin to be taught the nuances of stopping the opposing player from scoring. Karamihan ng player ay late ang development ng defensive game.

The best combo is literally a top rated defense AND offense. The last one to do it was the 2001 LA Lakers.  The had the best offensive and defensive ranking in the playoffs.  15 -1 was their record including the finals.  That blemish was because Allen Iverson went Supernova in Game 1 by scoring 48 points.  After that, Shaq just rag dolled the defensive player of the year (Mutombo)  in 4 straight wins.  That was the series that cemented Shaq's legacy as the most dominant ever.

Note that the defensive ranking of the Lakers that year in the regular season was 21st.  When the playoffs began, they just were a different team. Talk about flipping a switch.

And he will be traded soon. Olidipo just showed MIA why he is deserving of a contract extension.

Strus is clearly superior to Duncan Robinson on defense.  I'd say they are pretty even on offense with Robinson probably having a quicker release (he's slightly taller too, I think). 

It's important to note, however, that Robinson has been more durable in the last couple of seasons than Strus.  Personally, though, I think Duncan Robinson should be traded.

(AP) - Preview capsule for the NBA Finals, which start tomorrow:

East No. 2 BOSTON CELTICS (51-31, 12-6) vs. West No. 3 GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS (53-29, 12-4)

Season series: Tied, 1-1. Golden State won at Boston 111-107 on Dec. 17. The Celtics rolled on Golden State's home floor in the rematch on March 16, winning 110-88.

Storyline: A rematch of the 1964 NBA Finals. Golden State is seeking a fourth championship in eight years, while the Celtics are trying to break a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers and become the first team with 18 NBA titles. Celtics coach Ime Udoka will seek to become the 10th coach in NBA history to win a title in his first season, something that Golden State's Steve Kerr did with the Warriors in 2015.

The starters matchup: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney for the Warriors against Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford and Robert Williams III for the Celtics. Put simply, it's the great offense of Golden State against the great defense of Boston. The experience edge goes to the Warriors. But Smart, Brown and Tatum have been building for this moment and are now, officially, a Big 3. Smart — the defensive player of the year — will draw the primary assignment on Curry, the most prolific and probably most creative 3-point shooter in the history of the game.

The bench keys: Derrick White had a huge Eastern Conference finals for Boston, and Jordan Poole has exceeded all reasonable expectations for Golden State throughout the playoffs. If the Warriors get Gary Payton II back to form in this series after his elbow fracture, that's a huge plus. Grant Williams would be another X-factor off the bench for Boston and will likely log huge minutes anyway because it wouldn't seem likely that Robert Williams III — dogged by knee recovery — will be on the floor a ton.

Injury watch: Williams III has been on the floor for Boston, but limited and limping often. Otto Porter Jr. (left foot) is planning to return in this series for the Warriors. Payton II's return would give the Warriors a boost, particularly on the defensive end. The Warriors' Andre Iguodala, who has said he's retiring after this season, has missed the last 12 games with a cervical disc issue.

Numbers of note: The Celtics have played exactly 100 games so far this season — they went 25-25 in the first 50, 38-12 in the second 50. ... Golden State has a league-best 25 wins this season in games where it trailed after the first quarter, with six of those wins coming in the playoffs. ... Warriors coach Steve Kerr has the best postseason winning percentage in NBA history at .736 (89-32). He's coaching in the NBA Finals for the sixth time, something only Phil Jackson (13 times), Red Auerbach (11), Pat Riley (9), John Kundla (6) and Gregg Popovich (6) have done. ... Boston's magic number this season: 107. The Celtics were 48-9 when holding teams to 107 or less, 15-28 when allowing 108 or more. ... Golden State's magic number this season: 115. The Warriors were 61-15 when holding teams to 115 or less, 4-18 when allowing 116 or more. ... Warriors players Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Kevon Looney have a combined 1,930 points in the NBA Finals entering this season. Everyone else in this series, including the entire Boston roster, has combined for zero.

Prediction: The Celtics won four relatively close games to sweep a Brooklyn team with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant in Round 1, won a Game 7 against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks in Round 2, then went on the road to beat Miami in a Game 7 for the East title. They are, by any definition, battle tested. The Warriors are trying to pull off a comeback story; they were the best show in basketball from 2015 through 2019, hit the reset button while dealing with injuries and roster revamping, and here they are on the brink of another title. They are proven, and their history — 26 consecutive series with at least one road win — means that Boston will probably have to win twice at Chase Center to pull this off. Not going to be a romp, but Warriors in six.

=====

It will be an intriguing Finals, for sure. Not a fan of either team but I will go with probably the minority here. I think Boston will win this.
We deserve better.

OT: Jalen Green Joins East Asia Super League as Ambassador

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green, freshly named to the All-Rookie First Team last month, is expanding his profile internationally as he moves into his second NBA season.

Green is joining the East Asia Super League (EASL) — which will feature teams from greater China, Japan, Korea and the Philippines — as an ambassador and investor. Retired NBAers Baron Davis, Metta Sandiford-Artest and Shane Battier hold similar roles with the fledgling league. The EASL is scheduled to unveil its new format in October featuring eight teams in Asia’s first interleague competition sanctioned by FIBA, basketball’s world governing body.

“I just want to put the Asian basketball community on the map,” Green said, expressing hope that he can be “an inspiration for the next generation of hoopers in Asia.” “Especially in the Philippines,” Green added, “because I have background there.”

Green, drafted No. 2 overall by the Rockets in 2021 after Detroit’s selection of Cade Cunningham, is just the third player in NBA history of Filipino descent (joining Raymond Townsend and Jordan Clarkson) and has been immensely popular in the Philippines since scoring 51 points in a game at the Mall of Asia Arena in 2018 on his first trip to his mother Bree Purganan’s homeland.
