Bones and Ayo are good players, but they haven’t seen playoff pressure by guys like Castle, Dort, Caruso yet, so nobody knows if they’re up to the task at that level

I hadn’t thought about but it’s actually kinda true. Lots of folks were already calling for Ayo to start at the end of the season. Deep bench players who will get more minutes are downgrades but generally trust worthy guys with the ball in their hands like Conley and Slomo

Ayo looks very competent. Bones will get eaten alive on defense by a team that can exploit him. 

Same. Dewayne Johnson ain’t got nutten on me!

Paper is cherry. I’m a fake rock/real slap to the face.

I’ve started using dynamite again. It works great.

I played RPS against my 2-year-old daughter for the first time last week… and I lost lmao. I did paper and she did scissors. smh

After our second round I realized she can only do scissors, guessing she must have only gotten that far in daycare. Will use this to my advantage for the time being.

I always go rock because nothing beats rock

Always go paper because if you’re bringing your fist down and have a bad feeling you can always stick with rock at the last second… now your odds are up to two out of three that cheat code is the Monty Hall problem of RPS.

Good old rock nothing beats rock

Wow fantastic point 

Denver hasn’t lost 4 in a row whole year. They will win very likely win today, like how nobody expected LA to sweep Rockets.

But other 2 games, if Denver doesn’t get emotional, they got it. From pure quality, and then longer bench side of things.

These core of these guys is used to bloodbath.

and i won’t care if they do, completely unscared of them

Thanks Magic

Aight calm down lol you guys are good but you still gotta prove it before you can talk like that

What?

Denver was firing on all cylinders prior to the playoffs, but I’ve noticed that’s usually a bad thing for teams, you want a little adversity before the real games start or your players get a little too comfortable.

Nice comment. Denver has simply looked old and slow and gassed out. They are certainly battle tested but at the same time they are getting run off the court. I don’t see how that is fixable for them.

Gobert is the best role player in the league, change my mind

I think in that case it’s more like the advantage the Spurs have brings it to a roughly even series which it wouldn’t be against any other opponent.

I mean, OKC are the clear favourites but I think its fair to say that the Spurs are a specifically bad matchup for them.

Eh, I think a healthy Wolves/Spurs matchup is quite unknown. We may not even put Gobert on Wemby.. Julius has had some good reps against him because he’s so much more physical. Wemby is incredible so we probably wouldn’t win but your team is incredibly young - in a playoff series I think we’d cause your perimeter guys a ton of issues.

As much as I hate to say it I think the Spurs will dog walk OKC in a series.

It’s not a playoff series, but it’s something. The first win might’ve been a surprise, but they also won 3 other games, and the Thunder were visibly frustrated & trying to win in those games.

The Thunder might be the better team, they may even be better enough that they win the matchup regardless, but something about that stylistic matchup seems to close the gap to some extent.

Lol. Denver beat the Spurs with Wemby JUST ONCE this season, and it was a very tight overtime win… yet people are adamant denver is a “tough matchup” for the spurs.

So how do you think people will predict OKC/SAS when the Spurs beat them 3 times?

I think people just use it as a baseline but some go too far. Even then both are young and still improving, albeit San Antonio at a much more rapid pace. Really this series could go either way in my honest opinion but have to see how San Antonio plays in the second round

Yeah, regarding the Lakers, it is a bummer. Respectfully, I left them off the list because even healthy I don’t think there’s any one team they know they can beat. But yeah, it’s a shame we are not getting to see them this year.

Their PDF looking coach

Hey now, no need to rub salt in the wound. You’re talking about a dude that’s gonna be out of a job within the next few weeks.

He looks like when you’re making a character in Oblivion and sort of trying to make it look like a normal person but the game just doesn’t let you

I think we’re better than most people give us credit for, but even if fully healthy, I think OKC vs us is a pretty safe win for them.
