NBA Playoff Thread

Brandon Jennings with some clutch free throws down the stretch, too. That's one edge he might have over other rooks in the playoffs who didn't play a year of Euro-ball. Little more calm in the clutch.

 

All of that about the Bucks is true, but I still say the Hawks did a nice little Heimlich in the fourth quarter and may have coughed up their whole season.

 

Atlanta would have been smashed by Orlando anyway, just like Milwaukee will be if they win Game 6, but still extremely impressed by the Bucks.

 

That video is fantastic.

Salmons has been huge since the Bucks acquired him, but I can't believe they are doing this with guys like Kurt Thomas and Jerry Stackhouse playing key minutes.

 

Wow. Bango has become much more homicidal since I left town. Hopefully that actor didn't die from being exposed to Milwaukee River water.

 

COY is based on regular season, not playoffs.

 

I would rather be in a knocked over port-o-potty than be dumped in the Milwaukee River.

 

A heartless and gutless team. No backbone whatsoever. They win on talent, but never seem to be able to deal with any sort of adversity and turn it around into their favor.

If they lose this series, it's time for major surgery in Atlanta. Woodson could get the boot and Johnson might well be welcomed to exit.

 

If they lose, I think Woodson is gone. It was great to see Josh Smith shoot the late three last night a month or so after the SI story saying he understood that he should not shoot the three.

 

Johnson, much like Dirk, does not seem to have the leadership qualities that it takes to be an alpha-dog on a playoff contender. He's got the talent, but would probably be better served as a Robin instead of a Batman.

 

Think you're spot on with that analysis.

The bigger problem to me appears to be Woodson, though. No answer or adjustment for Jennings, no offensive imagination which results in things happening like Smith throwing up outside jumpers/threes. It's a talented group that I think another coach would be able to take much further.

 

Bango's on edge because of all the people who want to kill him and fuck him.
