David Robinson was a bad defender because Hakeem went nuts in that one series. Thread's gone in an interesting direction.

Minny did a better job putting Ant in a position to attack, but reckon Denver won the game with that 8-0 burst in 20 seconds just before halftime. Don't think the Wolves ever got the margin under five in the second half, that was crucial. Hope the last three games deliver a couple of close...

Rockets got a nice bonus too. The Nets are the gift that keep on giving. Not a great day to be a Pistons or Raptors fan either.

Minny's best O is still its D. Denver negated that. Pretty physical game. I don't think the Pups managed to get Ant going downhill at all, maybe once or twice. Everything was on the perimeter.

You do need luck, and I'm not picking on the Bulls and saying they were extremely lucky. It's more just a general observation that teams in past eras seemed to be able to keep their players healthier in the playoffs more. I just looked back quickly, to make sure I wasn't looking at it with rose...

Well yeah, the regular season, absolutely. But the playoffs never used to see so many teams get decimated with injuries. I mean take for example the 90s Bulls - how many playoff games did Jordan or Pippen ever miss? And it wasn't just them - I can't even remember many role players ever missing...

It's not, but it ain't gonna help either. It's just odd, because you'd think sports science would help alleviate injuries, but it's going the other way.

I know, it's still stoopid though. They're having enough trouble having players play 70 games.

The underdogs strike back. Also, injuries are out of control. I swear it was never this big an issue 20-30 years ago. But sure, let's pack an in-season tournament into the overcrowded schedule, because quantity > quality, apparently.

You posted all during the Blanks and McDonough eras. Didn't even pretend to support another team either cough Elmer cough

Dannnnnnnnnn - it's happening

I'll swap you.

Desperately need another scorer and better spacing. Their defence is elite, but poor Banchero is working in a phone-box a lot of the time. Good news is their cap is clean, so they have options. They've been linked with Klay, but IMO they'd be better off looking at someone like Malik Monk.

Had a soft spot for Ipswich since the 90s. Great to see them up again, it's a club with history. Looked so unlikely three years ago, their fans must be in disbelief.

Apparently David Adelman has fans in the Laker front office. Something about an Adelman coaching the Lakers just seems wrong.
