Ye

I mean if money is no issue here then I love it.

Yeah.. the NBA, the owners in the NBA are alot more willing to pull out the pen to pay guy than any other sport.

It's been a hell of a turnaround for them. They really seemed like they were imploding in game two

 

[Jim Beankie]

I know this is unnecessarily dramatic, but imho this is a must win. If they lose this, then I just don't see their winning it all in the end, assuming they make it that far. I know they're shorthanded with KP out, but still...

With a healthy Murray, Denver is the better team.
Remains to be seen if he ?stays healthy, but if so, its a C's/ Nuggets Final which is what we always thought anyway.

They need to close this out asap. Primary reason is Horford. They're playing him 40 mins a game! He usually is around 25.
Playing with fire that we could lose him to injury. You can see he's gassed.
It affected the quality of his play on both offense and defense.
Cmon dudes, give the old guy some rest!!! And get the **** off my lawn!!

Possibly no Donovan Mitchell. If that’s the case they should blow doors, no more let downs.

I'd be really surprised if he doesn't play

Mazzulla has to be smarter than that

Just been reported that he is out tonight.

Should JB look into a sports therapist about those free throws? Teams are gonna start implementing hack-a-Jaylen

He has no choice.

He's not a pure shooter, he's a scorer.
Guys like that often are poor free throws shooters. It's OK, he brings enough to the table it's not a huge deal.

Disagree

Horford looks bad. White is on a milk carton so far. We need him to step up.

 

[Kdo5]

Jrue was phenomenal. Once again Tatum and Brown played hard and delivered. Nice dagger from JB!

Disagree

No you just like to trash Mazzulla every chance you get. It's tiresome. He's a solid coach. Young,still learning but has done a decent job overall.
Tell me how you would have used Big Al differently.

He's been doing well so far in the playoffs, especially this series. He is in a bind with Horford but managed the minutes much better tonight. Al only played 28 minutes that's not shouldn't be a big deal.

Mazzula has been great with the timeouts, calling them at all the right times. He isn't fixating on the team launching threes. One of my main concerns was his stubbornness but perhaps he is learning and growing as a coach.

Horford played 28 minutes tonight. Not so hard.

And I haven't really trashed Mazzulla much at all lately, I think he's improved in a number of areas. Including tonight, he was playing Horford too many minutes and he corrected that. Of course he had a choice.

Yea Maz has to play Al a decent amount. Just by being a threat, he stretches the D and provides spacing for everyone else.

Didn't shoot well last night but they won.
