    (1) OKC Thunder vs (5) Dallas Mavericks - 2024 WC Second Round

    Both could be true: he is beat up, and is a master of soccer style writhing.

    (1) OKC Thunder vs (5) Dallas Mavericks - 2024 WC Second Round

    Luka is a master of the soccer style major injury (that cures itself in 5 seconds).

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    This strand of analysis has a lazy post-hoc flavor. Did the double bigs do good work in game 1 (Yes). Was Kornet playing that well (not really). Was Tatum (or anyone ) lighting it up (no). It ignores the big problem that DW lost his touch, and no one else was better than their average...

    because horford and kornet were so much better?

    5/9: ECSF Game 2: Cavs@Celtics

    With KP out, DW is the necessary 3rd scorer. And if he isn't scoring, the droughts can happen

    5/9: ECSF Game 2: Cavs@Celtics

    I wanted Cleve instead of Orlando in order to avoid getting worn out by Orlando's physical play. The risk being that Cleve's high end was higher. Fjgured so long as celts played well and hard, it didn't matter. And if the did not, it also did not matter.

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    Phi had a hobbled Embid, who was crucial to Phil. Indiana has a good coach and talented team that are reverting to passive knuckleheadism when the going gets tight. Thus: is NKY a team that is great until the pressure is turned up to 9.3 fpr 48 minutes (no need to go to 11). Like the Celts...

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    Is the overachieving sustainable against a commited and competent team. Ala what the Celts displayed vs the Heat AFTER game 2? IOW: are these guys capable of sustaining against 48 minutes of pressure; or will they do a Caleb Martin et al (and revert to NBA mediocrity).

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    My antipathy for the Knicks is odd. The "playing style" is admirable, and the Brunson career arch is intriguing. Is it because of the unearned arrogance ... a Heat vibe albeit from a truely engaged fan base. I admit that reading some of the above comments I don't see much unearned arrogance...

    carlisle has to share some scorn for not using his players who aren't psyched out by knicks energy.

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    is my irrational hatred of the knicks based on a sense that their overachieving is more annoying that admirable?

    (1) OKC Thunder vs (5) Dallas Mavericks - 2024 WC Second Round

    Celts fans have the class and ability to bring their own green apparel. Miami, okc.... not so much?

    Not just you. Which is probably why he doesn't get high profile gigs.

    5/7: ECSF Game 1: Cavs@Celtics

    Lets not assume this is ironclad. Play the games as if the Cavs have real NBA talent (they do, even if it doesn't show up regularly)

    the real challenge is game 2 ... will the celts most feared opponent (the lethargic Celts) show up?
