NBA Playoffs

One thing I see in the playoffs is quite a number of mid range shots. Three point line is further out and heavily guarded. Hard to score over shot blockers at the rim. Opens up the mid range and NBA players seem to be able to score.

True. And what you see in the NBA then trickles down to the college and high school arena. Same plays, same style of play, on and on. It’s just takes a couple years but they all follow.

Haven't watched an NBA game for at least a decade. But, more power to those who enjoy that type of BB by that type of player.

To each his/her own when it comes to TV entertainment.

TC#3, I would suggest you take in a Denver Nuggets game. Jokic is different and it is a joy to watch him execute his profession.

WCE, thanks for the suggestion to watch the Nuggets. I'll leave that joy to my grandson who is a huge Nuggets fan. I can appreciate the skill of NBA players. I just don't enjoy watching them -- to much like pro wresting for my liking. ;)))

I have watched Jokic and he is amazing. He is playing against some of the best big athletes in the world and makes it look easy and plays a basic fundamental form of basketball. So, yes, he is my favorite non K-State player that I am aware of. There may be someone I like better then Jokic, but the K-Staters will always rule for me.

Jokic showing up to the game looking like Gru is amusing.

When I am able during the playoffs, I will watch Denver, OKC, and Cleveland.

Jokic and Denver are fun to watch, and they are a team that the NBA doesn't want to be in the finals. Too small a market to make the NBA, who wants the Knicks v Lakers or Boston v Lakers every year. Screw that.

I will watch OKC to see Keonte play. I have heard that he is getting time, but haven't seen him when i've watched. The NBA doesn't want them in the finals either.

I will watch Cleveland because of Dean Wade. I know he is injured at the moment, but I will follow them hoping to see him suit up. And the NBA doesn't want Cleveland to make the finals either.

Not a fan of the NBA mostly because of their political positions, LeBron being a spokesman for the league, Dremond Green still being able to cause all the trouble he causes, and my favorite team, the Spurs, taking a dump on their fans for tanking games the last six years, including this one.

Here in Wichita we get almost all of the OKC games and I really enjoy watching them play. SGA should be in the top five voting for MVP and Holmgren is playing better than I thought he would. He has a lot of skills in transition that I wasn’t expecting.

For a Young group OKC has had amazing success this year. They did not fold last night against a Zionless Pelican team.

WE did you see the Denver-Laker game last night? Had to be the most entertaining game of all time! And LeBron took it in the shorts!! It would be worth watching a replay for anybody to see what the NBA is like right now if you haven't watched in a few years. Effort off the charts!
