What I have a problem with is playing the 3 of them together. FVV is problably unplayable period at this point, but Norm is a very serviceable player...

Disturbingly true...

Came here just to post the above, then later went back to read some of the other posts and was stunned to notice I said the same thing claw reborn said....

[inthepaint]

This game was there for the taking, sustained a roughly 8pt lead up for almost the whole game, until Nurse decides to go AWAY from what's working and...

[inthepaint]

That would be my favorite. I know Gasol & Serge will be to slow for Giannis, but I'd live with that instead of having their perimeter players bomb...

[inthepaint]

When I see DanH and Golden fretting over Lowry I skip it over and don't even read it. One is too biased one way to the point Lowry can do no wrong, and...

[inthepaint]

This is right. Experience and starters quality is not nothing either deep in the playoffs like this. This series is difficult to predict. If we get the...

[inthepaint]

Yeah OG would be a good theoretical piece on this series, but frankly, being all for so long even if he's fit to play I'm not sure it's a good idea to...

[inthepaint]

Bravo Serge indeed.. That said he played more inside, closer to the rim/low post and being the chief rebounder, while Gasol played on the perimeter/high...

Go big or go home

It's counter-intuitive to say this about an ECF but I think it's gonna come down to the supporting cast of both teams. We know both Giannis and Kawhi...

[inthepaint]

That's a great one. Norm looks like he's either willing that ball to go in with all his mind, or about to bust out crying with joy. Aside from the obvious...

Seeeeeerge Ibaaaakaaa!!!

I gotta say, there's nobody in the 76ers that scares me more than Nick Nurse does. Not trying to be a troll or anything I legit feel that way. He'll come...

[inthepaint]

I feel like I might be picking on Nurse too much, but sometimes I can't help thinking the way we're using Gasol is just wasting a huge offensive potential....

There's hope folks:

[inthepaint]

Excellent question. In my view it's because the one he reverted to (double PG's and not so crisp tethering or Embiid and Gasol) "worked really well...

[inthepaint]

That's more or less where I'm at as well. At the beginning of the playoffs my impression was that we would squeak through Milwaukee, then lose to golden...

[inthepaint]

McCaw will put up shots from the corner 3's with a high release point, he will attack close outs to slash to the paint with enough lennght to find a cutter...

[inthepaint]

The alternative to me is play Lowry around 40 to 42 minutes, and have McCaw pick up the the 6 to 8 minutes Lowry sits. On this 6 to 8 minutes McCaw is...
