NBA PLAYOFFS 2017-2018 Thread

Binary.....

I find your idea that Harden can dominate any one of our defenders to be kind of headscratching. Here are Harden's shooting stats against us the last 2 years:

-10 for 23, 27 points
-8 for 16, 22 points
-8 for 23, 29 points
-6 for 13, 17 points
-5 for 20, 24 points
-4 for 17, 17 points

Nothing about what he has done against us in the last 2 years says he would dominate all of our defenders. He hasnt had great games against us at all the last 2 years. We have turned him into an inefficient chucker.

If Harden plays a series against us similar to the above 6 games, the Rockets wont come close to winning the series.

Have you watched him this year? He's improved his stepback like a beast. The efficiency of that shot is off the charts.

Yes I have watched him this year. He dominated a lot of teams, but he didnt dominate us.

Do you have efficiency stats on his stepback this year versus last year and years past? A lot of your analysis on the last two pages were simply just adjectives. I would love to see if what you are selling is actually backed up by stats.

Wade is on fiyaaaa!!!

Saric is really good.

Heat playing physical.

IMO, D'Antoni's system was a bit too "ahead of the curve" with Phoenix, but it's perfect for today's game and perfect for this roster. They've crafted the team beautifully around Harden, giving him extreme space with shooters and a perfect lob outlet in Capella. It truly is a system built to perfection, much like the Warriors had with the Steph/Bogut high picknroll era. Great job by their mgmt.

You're picking Houston in a seven game series against Golden State?

Yes, but a lot hinges on Steph's health and their defense.

$50 wager if you're interested.

Hardens stepback.

Travel or nah?

Yes, but a lot of guys travel throughout the game. I saw analysis on how much Embiid travels, just a random example and there are others. I would prefer they don't call it by the book... Let's see some good offensive ball ya dig

Curry carries the damn ball every single time
Its the NBA the refs dont care
