You’re correct, but our chances against the Cavs are better than our chances against any of the other 3 top east teams. Mitchell, Allen, and Harden have all notoriously struggled in the post season throughout their careers. We are still underdogs, but we could catch lightning in a bottle and win the series. It’s a game of runs, and our defense is solid.

No, what he said is very much true. Even good teams that don’t have much playoff experience with their core players never go that far in the playoffs.

²⁴⁄₂₅ Rockets 52 wins (Sengun, Jalen Green, Amen 0 playoff experience) - First round exit

²³⁄₂₄ Thunder 57 wins (SGA, Jalen, Chet 0 playoff experience) - Second round exit

2022-2023 Kings 48 wins (Fox, Sabonis 0 playoff experience) - First round exit

²¹⁄₂₂ Grizzlies 56 wins (Ja, Dillon Brooks, Bane 1 year of playoff experience) - Second round exit

¹⁶⁄₁₇ Jazz 48 wins (Donovan 0 experience, Rudy 1 year of playoff experience) - Second round exit

¹⁸⁄₁₉ Nuggets 54 wins (Joker, Murray 0 playoff experience)- Second round exit

09/10 Thunder 51 wins (KD, Russ, Ibaka,Harden 0 playoff experience)- First round exit

²⁰²⁰⁄₂₀₂₁ Suns had CP3 who had years of playoff experience and went to the finals but like I said teams whose core players who had 1 year or less of playoff experience never go that far.

There’s probably a lot more examples that I’m forgetting but these are teams off the top of my head. This is also why I’m not that high on the Spurs in the playoffs this year. They’ve done an incredible job and are well ahead of schedule but their lack of playoff experience will be their downfall.

Sounds like a PG special

They got demolished in the Finals

Didnt do well against Boston yeah

I like this bet of any possible upsets you could bet on. I think this series is the most interesting to flip. I think the Cavs are expected to come out winning but I certainly don’t think it’s smart to underestimate this raps team

Anything can happen in game 7!

The only time ever I saw it enforced was 2009 during final four in Berlin. You were not allowed to bring anything you could throw including coins and keys into the stands,. Took ages to get in and out.

Just send them to Joe’s Vietnam war training 2-3 years.

0-82 is an optimistic outcome. Atleast you’d come out with a top 5 draft pick.

Youre more likely to be a playin staple getting beat by bench squads playing for minutes in the Banchero era for the next 5 years.

I’d probably also be like you if I were paying PB and no J that much money

This is just false.

You can’t group all Euroleague teams in one bunch, when people talk about European atmosphere they mean primarily in Serbia, Greece, Turkey and Lithuania.

Even other countries, apart from like Monaco, have solid and at times lively atmospheres, but those are the main ones.

If you wanna get a real look about the type of atmosphere Darko is talking about, go on Youtube and watch Partizan, Crvena zvezda, Panathinaikos, Olympiacos fans etc, it’s uncomparable to any NBA game.

Man come on, European soccer hooligans was a super popular video genre in the late 90s and early 2000s. Along with parkour. Those euro fans know how to chant too. They’ll write a whole song about the opposing team lol.

Have you been to a wizards game
