Â he deserves it, but i'm not sure how that plays out long term. I dont expect his game will age well, and when it goes, it will probably go quick. If I got title aspirations for the next 2 years though, I look him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Now that is how you end a series!   Gimme those luscious tears, flowing like the Niagara and **** 2 hours ago, AJ* said: Embiid's b-ball IQ has gone subterranean. How does a coach let his center initiate his offense from the 3 point line? Why is this guy trying to dribble from the perimeter and make moves as if he's a guard? Is he allergic to the low post or what?  Sawft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 So glad TNT replaying it, that's BS the NBA made me pick GOT and miss that.    I can't wait for KL vs Gainnis.  It would be mortifying to see them on the same team. Have to change the television rating for gratuitous violence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Bucks vs Raptors and Nuggets vs Blazers are my vision of the NBA's ideal future. Competitive, balanced teams led by a single, likeable superstar player with a team full of high quality role players helping them win. Hungry teams with no sense of entitlement, and who enjoy genuine homecourt advantages. Unpredictable playoff series between well matched opponents where the outcome is decided by composure of the greater competitor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 If ima be honest, this second round is all I ever want from Basketball. The stars and the super teams are fun for a sec but this **** right here cant be beat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I remember the days before Beilein. Amaker was okay but Michigan was looking to take the next step. Poaching Beilein from WVU was huge. His players loved him and he loved them back. I remember they used to go to his house and meet his family during the season. He was the friendly grandpa. He was the one with the super soaker squiritng all his players last year during the tournament. Under Beilein, Michigan went to 2 Final Fours and made 2 National Championship appearances. Michigan benefitted heavily from Beilein's wisdom and coaching.  This is a sad day. You'd always think Gilbert would snare Izzo, because of the MSU ties. Izzo and the Cavs were often linked and rumored. But Gilbert ended up getting Beilein. I don't think it wouldn't work in the NBA, but he can't be as cozy as he was at Michigan with his players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 It feels like a hire where everyone loses. Especially Michigan and the NCAA. He was one of the few great coaches left who did it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fun to see Curry running the show again. I still think hes the best player on that squad, but that opinion changes almost every game. Yall are still super talented and all that Jazz. Its much more fun to watch yall struggle and pull out a victory than make it look easy. I wanna see ya work for it.  Also I think you can thank CP for that, too. He poked the bear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The NBA has always been dominated by dynasties with the rare one off champion(03 Pistons, 11 Mavs for examples). Â The Warriors will win another ring this year, and then the next dynasty will arise after the events of this summer's FA. Could very well be the Clippers if they keep that core and add a max player or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
