NBA playoffs: greatest show on Earth

[Knicks411]

I need Steven Adams on my list. Excellent player

 

[Alsacs]

Obviously depends on how you define underrated. I like your list. (Holiday especially.) I would nominate Horford.

Boston Radio hosts get off calling Horford “Average” Al.
Lou Merloni battles Bill Simmons over 'Average Al' nickname
They troll their fans.

Who does everybody have on their "All NBA underrated team"

Mine includes:

Rozier
Gary Harris
Middleton
Julius Randle
Jrue Holiday

6th man- Sabonis

How about the all-non drafted team. I'll lead off with Joe Ingles. Has shot 44% from three the last two seasons and is fifth in career % for all active players (14th all time). Plus he has only missed four games over the last four seasons including none the last two years. Got rewarded last season with a four year/52 million contract after his good buddy signed with the Celtics.

I think he was 26 or 27 when he came into the league from Australia.

I think Ingles signed first?

One of my favorites. He looks like they just pulled a tall guy out of the stands.

Actually you are right. It was part of the moves Lindsey made trying to get Gordie to stay. Speaking of Ingles, one think I love about watching the Jazz on league pass is the commercials on the SLC station. This one is definitely the best with Ingles for Vivant Home. If you like Ingles, you have to love it.

Harden's game is so infuriating to watch, I have no idea how people play against him and don't outright punch him.

I want to climb into my tv, run on to the court, and kick him in the boys.

And I'm enjoying a relaxing night on my couch!

 

[OrangeDW]

I cannot get used to the road team wearing white. I just can’t. I know Houston is home so I automatically think they’re the white team. Drives me nuts.

 

[OrangeDW]

Mitchell with a Dominique Wilkins like tip dunk of his own miss. Awesome.

Does Ingles ever miss an open look?

 

[djcon57]

Is Houston basically an offensive Pitt?

Like if the refs allow them to do their crap, they are fine...but run into the wrong set of refs and they are screwed

 

[PoppyHart]

This is Chris Paul's time of year.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Hey Houston: You just got Jingled!!!

 

[SoBeCuse]

Mitchell with a Dominique Wilkins like tip dunk of his own miss. Awesome.

Yup. Sick. He’s like 6’3 tops think. He basically jumped straight off floor without any momentum and hammered it down. He’s become a VERY good player. 11 assists too. I remember when he played PG for a stretch when Quin Snider was injured. It was no problem for him with the ballhandling and his shooting became pretty good. Of course he was always a mini human highlight film. God he destroyed our guards.

If the Rockets don't win this series then Chrissy should just hang it up.

They're mentally soft, and it starts with Harden.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'd love it if the Jazz win this series, because there's this weird thing going right now that people say the Jazz can't win with Gobert, and it would just be awesome to shut that down... MUCH LIKE GOBERT SHUTS DOWN EVERYTHING AT THE RIM

Including his brain. That guy is just a big goof out there. That foul on Harden was just dumb.

The three hop steps before hand should have wiped that all out, but that was certainly an amazing play.

Is that really a thing?

Yeah there's been stuff on The Ringer and videos and things.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Harden was guarded last night by Exum on 22 possessions.

He scored 2 points on those possessions.

Loved toward the end of the game when Exum had perfect position, Harden tried to go through him, got called for a charge and turned to whine to the refs. What he did was the very definition of an offensive foul, but he had the stones to argue the call. Which is why we hate him.

That's so bizarre to me. Gobert is awesome.

Exum is only 22. Crazy.

Harden is infuriating to watch play basketball. If the refs aren't bailing him out, he doesn't look so hot.

That's so bizarre to me. Gobert is awesome.

Is Rudy Gobert Utah’s Big Advantage or Big Problem?
