NBA Playoff Megathread

I wish the refs would stop separating players and let this game devolve into an absolute bloodbath. My Bolts need a fight to charge them up. Shit is so rigged it's not even funny.

Based on @PurpleJ and his avatars showing how dialed in he is ... Caps in the Cup Finals rather easily
 
If I’m Stevens my starting lineup for Game 5 gets Smart’s energy in early, Rozier to 2nd unit and away from LBJ, and inserting Baynes to matchup to Thompson’s energy on the glass

1) Baynes into the starting lineup = slowed down Thompson early and helped to wall up the lane on LBJ and keeping him from getting on a roll early

2) Baynes being able to auto switch on screen and rolls with Rozier helped to hide him defensively

3) Morris coming in off the bench brought him back to a really good energy level and out of early foul trouble

4) Marcus Smart continued to do Marcus Smart things

Cavs are obviously a favorite at home in Game 6 ... but I like what Boston did tonight from a lineup standpoint and we'll see what, if any, adjustments Ty Lue can make. The positive tonight for Boston is that they won despite Brown/Rozier going a combined 7 of 30 and 36.5% overall. There's definitely upside for them to play better in Cleveland.

I like how you worked ‘Ty Lue’ and ‘adjustments’ into the same sentence. Very creative.

He started Thompson in this series to combat Boston's "small ball" lineup with Morris starting ... but between his inability to make adjustments and few options at his disposal he's got a problem going forward.

A lot of words for role players play better at home

Houston has simply shut GS down the last 2 quarters of B-ball. TSIAO for the Dubs if they don’t figure something out on Offense. Which means Curry and Thompson making a shot or 2 but Hou is giving no quarter on D now.

No Iggy. No flow.
