NBA 2018/19

Andre Drummond has been so pathetic tonight so far..

Disappointed with the Spurs tonight, had such a great chance to go up 3-1 got off to such a hot start and they fell off after 1st. Now gotta win in Denver again

Feel bad for Blake man , played well tonight did everything offensively and played good D on Giannis and yet they still lost by 16. Pistons gotta put a better team around Griffin next year cause he's being wasted there atm

Rockets up 2 despite Harden shooting 0/14. That is a BAD sign if you're Utah...

And in the end Harden comes through in the clutch scoring 14 pts on 3/6 shooting in the 4th while Mitchell stinks it up and Houston are up 3-0. Series over imo. Houston are too good for Utah

Takeaways

Joel Embiid is the best big man in the league. Not debatable imo.

Brooklyn’s inexperience cost them this game and likely the series

Dudley and Simmons beef is just too entertaining 😄

Denver responded to adversity in a big time way

Nikola Jokic played absolutely sensational

Detroit need to surround griffin with better talent. That was just sad to watch

Bucks are looking absolutely amazing

Donovan Mitchell’s inneficiency is killing Utah. Very poor in the clutch tonight as well

Utah are not a match for the rockets and it’s pretty clear.

Rockets depth showed out in this game 3 with Harden struggling they still came through

Interesting Stats and Facts

Joel Embiid became the 5th player to have a game with at least 30 pts 15 Rebs 5 ast 5 blk in a playoffs game in the last 35 years

Nuggets have snapped a 14 game losing streak in San Antonio with the win. Talk about right time to do so

Bucks are beating Detroit by an average of 24 pts in the series so far. Domination

James Harden started the game by missing first 15 shots which is the most misses without a make to start a game in Playoffs history.

However Harden ended up shooting 3/6 for 14 pts in the 4th quarter after having 8 pts on 0/14 FG after 3 to deliver in the end.

Donovan Mitchell is shooting 32.8% against the rockets in this series (7/18 5/19 9/27).

Utah had a fantastic opportunity to get one, very disappointed in Mitchell down the stretch. He’s not had a good Playoffs this year at all especially when u compare what he did to OKC last year in the 1st round

SHEESH MYLES TURNER

Houston have been really good at neutralising Donovan last year as well tbh, they have his number

Yet again Indiana come up short in the clutch after competing well. Oladipo definitely was missed big time in this series

Clippers 😲 , they are competing HARD out there would be nuts if they tie the series again

Warriors just got too much fire power. Great fight from LAC but they just don't have enough especially when Lou Will is taken out of a game like the Warriors did to him

I can't believe Embiid really said this 😄 😄 😄 , the ultimate troll of the NBA

Takeaways

Gordon Hayward has looked good for Boston in these playoffs so far

Indiana yet again didn’t have enough fire power in the end against Boston

Clippers competed tough but warriors are just too good

KD is BALLING NOW

Raptors defense is ridiculously good, this is a different team than from years past

Kawhi is looking sensational

Vucevic has been disappointing for Orlando in this series. Marc Gasol has shut him down defensively

Russell Westbrook and OKC choked again.

Lillard and McCollum are playing absolutely great. Breakout year in the Playoffs for sure for them two

Interesting Stats and Facts

Celtics have swept a team for the first time since 2011

Celtics have won every 2nd half against the pacers in this series. Clutch.

Danilo Gallinari is averaging 12.5 ppg on 21.2% shooting in Games 3 and 4 (7/33 FG total)

Raptors have held Orlando to 86.7 ppg through games 2-4 after losing game 1. Stiffling

Kawhi has become the 4th raptor ever to score 30+ pts twice in a single series

Raptors have a 3-1 Series Lead for the first time ever

Westbrook scored 1 pt on 0/7 shooting in the 2nd half against Portland. Choked.

Blazers have snapped an 8 game losing streak on the road in the Playoffs

Dame Lillard scored a total 40 pts in 3rd quarters of Games 3 and 4

Russell Westbrook has shot 50% or better in only 1 of 15 playoff games since Kevin Durant left. (Had 20 such playoff games when Durant was there.)

That is actually horrific

GIANNIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.. I MEAN LOOK AT THESE HIGHLIGHTS TONIGHT ALREADY





Athleticism off the charts mannn

God it was sad to watch griffin give his absolute all playing on a badly hurt leg and the team still getting smacked in the end smh. Hope griffin gets a better team built around cos Pistons are simply nowhere near contending
