Everything Playoffs 2024

[MixxAOR]

What is interesting is just how many top players are out of the playoffs. It makes a lot of sense from the perspective that players don’t get paid salaries for the playoffs (just bonuses) yet the games are harder on their bodies and could hamper their ability to add a contract or two to their career earnings.

Legacy is built in playoffs but money for franchises and players are made in regular season.

I think the superstar game plan now is to stay healthy to sign the super max then force a trade to secure legacy later.

If they’ve already won a chip or made the Finals, guys now feel their legacy is secure enough to sit out the playoffs to prioritize health and money over winning.

Butler sprained his MCL. Giannis has an Achilles issue (it’s no calf strain). Embiid is playing on one leg with Bell’s palsy. Not sure there is a top guy who is just saying fuck it, don’t feel like playing.

Either Kyrie Irving turned into Gary Payton or Harden is choking on a stripper’s bra again. What an embarrassing lay down by the Clips.

Playoff P my ass.

Unless your isiah Thomas (the Celtics one). Became a regular season star, then Danny ainge killed his body and never got his pay day

Ty lue is the new doc rivers. Going to live off a ring from a super team and get a rep for being a superstar coach. Only to come up short every spring.

A lot of coaches get carried by a superstar and live off 1 ring.

Reality came for Heat like Thanos

And Jimmy is eligible to sign a 2 year 112M extension on July 7th. Seems like the Heat have some decisions to make.

He's doing a lot more with a lot less than most coaches so he should be fine.

Every coach that has a ring was practically carried by a superstar to get their ring.
