    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    How is anyone defending the Nuggets? Dallas has two guys who can take the game over offensively themselves while opening up spot-up three’s for others and their two-headed center monster to matchup with Denver’s frontcourt. They gave Jokic’s fits a few weeks ago when Kyrie won the game with his...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    This series is going to be wild. If it goes anything less than 7 than we are the losers in that deal. Clippers had a 26-5 stretch which was the leagues best record during that time following the Harden trade. Dallas has a 16-2 stretch at the end of the year when they had the best record in the...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs (6) Phoenix Suns

    The 2nd was a tough call but no excuse on #3 when you already know you have 2. If he hasn’t got it by now he may never. I know he’s still relatively young but whatever that thing is you need he just doesn’t have.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    Vincent missed the entire season up until the last couple weeks and the only thing more horrific than his numbers was his movement on the floor. Dinwiddie is a better size matchup but no coach is going to look good when these are his two options. I revert back to my original question….how would...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    Aren’t all of these personnel issues and not coaching? Not sure what “gassing” LeBron I’m the 4Q means with the performance he put on. How would the coaching look if Malone’s option off the bench was Dinwiddie while Ham only had to hand the ball to Murray and Jokic to run their two-man game?

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    I am shocked and surprised that the NBA has been able to make this drastic of an officiating shift in mid-stream. We’ve asked how can we eliminate flopping….I didn’t think we could bc I didn’t think Silver was going to be able to execute this shift but I’ll be damned, he pulled it off!!

    Silver Dollar - The Official NBA Betting Thread!

    Actually slow start preflops -1.7u in playoffs there but +4.2u official live bets. Soccer is up about 20u and Tennis 10u since I began this last month. Funny that my two historically best sports, UFC and NBA are the laggards. That’s a great sign. The officiating changes since the ASB and now...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Long way to go but IF this team runs through the playoffs (EC they should, Finals will be the challenge if Denver) to a Title they are in the discussion of GOAT.

    Silver Dollar - The Official NBA Betting Thread!

    60-white old writers going with the “They lost 60 games he didn’t have an impact” angle. Shameful. To me, there were only 3 players who deserved votes as the gap to 4 was enormous. The gap from 1a/1b to Anthony Davis at 3 was equally wide. Bam and Herb Jones getting votes over Wemby should...

    Silver Dollar - The Official NBA Betting Thread!

    Looks like we are in decent shape for those who tailed the Coby White Most Improved Player at +500 (or +600, I forget what it was when I posted here). Seems like we are benefiting from many voters leaving Maxey off their ballot completely as he’s been really good for awhile now. Recency bias at...

    Apologies for my part. I thought I read where you said he was gassed.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    I don’t know how anyone can watch LeBron’s 4Q performance last night, on both ends of the floor, and conclude that he was gassed. Naturally it’s the 4Q of a playoff game in altitude but even at 40 he looked as fresh if not more fresh than anyone despite carrying much of the offensive load.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    The Lakers offense wasn’t doing anything outstanding in the 1H though either. If not for DAR and AD going nuclear shooting the ball they would have struggled to reach the mid-40’s in the 1H.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    Arent these the expectations though? I know for myself they were as Denver CLEARLY has another execution gear down the stretch of close games regardless of having multiple bigs who matchup (relatively) fine w Jokic. You can’t double and give up 3, you force as difficult a 2 as possible and hope...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Many people don’t take into account that these are regular season awards and not something that ones playoff performance should be factored. Brunson will always have a capped ceiling in the playoffs due to his physical profile but that isn’t what these regular season awards are all about and he...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    * Good thing for Nuggets fans that Malone didn’t “have the sense to call a timeout” to allow for LA to make defensive substitutions and set up their halfcourt defense. * Nurse has a legit gripe here.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    Welcome to “The DAR bounce back game!”….that we’ve been waiting for since last year. Kidding aside, he’s been really good this year and for the Lakers to have a chance they need him to have big games.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    He’s at a quickness disadvantage against these defenders. We are watching him be exposed when used as their go-to guy. He’s at his best in transition or with numbers in space….if the Knicks are going to continue utilizing him like this in the half court this is probably what you’re going to get...
