Official 2014 NBA Playoffs thread

then they're dumber than anyone else on the planet. kd is a not a 4 he is a 3 and the 2nd best player in the nba. that ain't the reason they didn't amnesty perkins. they didn't amnesty perkins because they're idiots. he should've been amnestied.


brooks is an idiot as well. he has shortened his rotation. you mean lamb and pj3 couldn't get any run to help bother the perimeter for memphis and speed things up?

not saying i agree with them but it's been a topic for a while

The only teams left that might Heat fits are the Clippers and Golden st.. But the Warriors turn over the ball too much and have to play perfect, and the Clippers get into mental funks..
 

that's what happens when people who don't know basketball write articles.

kevin durant is not a 4, he's not a 4 in any way has not shown to be a 4 in any way and has not played like a 4 in any way. he is a 3. so if they want him out of position? sure he can play 4...who plays the 3 for them?
 
Not if they sick Lebron on him like how they did with the Chicago series (the first with D. Rose the second with lil Nate)

They don't even need to do that. Everyone who has watched the Heat this season, knows they were cruising all season, and the area that suffered the most was their rotations on defense.. Since the playoffs started, their defense has been lights out, looking exactly like they did last year and the year before... Trust me if Deron and them boys could hang with that defense they would be hanging on for their lives up in Toronto and would have been a much better team than they were this year..
 
Memphis has the interior Presence and Defense to give the Heat fits.....Similar to Indiana game 7 last year....except memphis is better due to better defense at every position and a bette bench than the pacers.......the Grizz are FO REAL!!!

They don't score enough and they are no where as big as Indiana, plus they are way to slow to keep up with a team that knows how to pass and attack the paint.. They just look so good because OKC makes it easy on them with no half court game and no one to attack the paint..

They do, but LeBron and Wade will run all over Memphis' perimeter D. Unlike OKC the Heat have an elite defence which will cause t/o and fast break points.
 
neither is lebron

but it would allow them to go small for stretches..No way Randolph would be able to guard KD...buckets or free throws

any rate this is all elementary....Durant hits the shots he normally hits then this is a moot point

come on now. lebron has a completely different body type than durant. totally different.

and they wouldn't put randolph on durant. they would put someone else on durant and put randolph on whoever the 5 is.
 
Lamb getting dnp's in the playoffs.:smh: OKC gotta get a post scorer so they don'y have to rely so much on jumpers. Or KD needs to bulk & post more. They also need more bench production.
 
Saw how flat footed and slow Gasol was on that KD drive, that is there weakness and the Heat would feast on that shit..

they need to be instructed to go to the rim. drive home that point. memphis does not have the speed to stop kd or westbrook from getting to the rim. if you're setting up for jumpers they can defend an area. EASY

going to the rim is going to get points and put their bigs in foul trouble because neither one of them bigs can jump higher than an inch off the ground.
