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

    Knicks in 5. Embiid will have 1 game where he carries the Sixers to a win but will otherwise be limited. Brunson has a massive series. Looking forward to Thibs’ playoff rotation where Hart and DD play 48 mins, while Brunson and OG only play 42.

    I hope they play all home games at night. Seems like road teams outperform expectations during day games. I think HRB has commented on this before in the gambling thread.

    Bucks now 1-3 with Doc. Doc also playing Giannis and Dame much more in the 4 games. Giannis averaging 39mins/game (season average 35) while Dame is averaging 38 mins/game (season average 35). SSS and all the games have been close in the 4th quarter, but will be interesting to see how they...

    If it was only about meeting the 65 game minimum, he didn’t need to be out there with 4 minutes to go in a 14 point game when he had already played 30 minutes. I think he was probably fully cleared to play. Whether the medical staff should’ve cleared him is a question we will never know the...

    1/8 - Indy 2: Electric Boogaloo

    I I get that but wasn’t their primary thing getting a team’s star player(s) in foul trouble? Not overturning the un-overturnable. The Celtics don’t have foul trouble last night, and other than the last 2 plays, it didn’t strike me as particularly bad reffing. They didn’t have instant replay...

    1/8 - Indy 2: Electric Boogaloo

    If anything weird was going on wouldn’t the refs have just not called the foul in the first place?

    If I were a betting man I would be hammering the Bucks regular season under total at the moment. They have one of the hardest remaining schedules, and Giannis and Dame have combined to miss 3 games all year. Giannis is also averaging his most MPG since his age 23 season. Both guys seem very...

    I actually think they should go for it. They don’t have any young studs (other than Haliburton), they project to have mediocre picks for the foreseeable future, and don’t have any other good picks to trade. It’s hard to see how they can realistically improve dramatically enough to be in the same...

    Embiid stays in when down 30 until he extends his steak of 30-10 games and then immediately comes out.

    I think the larger benefit is being able to let Milwaukee and Philly slug it out in the second round while hopefully beating up on a lesser opponent (NYK, Cavs, Magic) and being better rested in the ECF. But seems early in the year to be too worried about playoff matchups.

    NBA In-Season Tournament 2023 Discussion and Gamethread

    Any reason why they couldn’t play these games the week before the Super Bowl? Is there a reason why they need to get this done so early in the season?

    2023-24 Celtics

    Agreed with this. I think the problem is less Jaylen-specific, and more “what to do when JT is off the floor?” Jaylen probably has the highest proportion of non-JT minutes, so his on-off appears worse than the others, when in reality, the others are benefiting from more with-JT minutes. JB...

    2023-24 Celtics

    I’ve wondered about this in the context of what happens when Al or KP is unavailable. Rather than forcing Kornet to play 20-25 minutes, I think they try to play small ball with Stevens/Brissett and Tatum as the other big. Should work just fine against second unit bigs and maybe even against...
