And in that time, he's had them all (giannis, lillard, middelton) healthy at the same time for 2 complete games. I think there were 2 more games where they started together, but middletong got hurt one, and giannis got hurt the other. It's why I find all this stuff about comparing to Griff offense unfair. Griff had the big 3 healthy for 90% of his games. Doc like 5%. Now I do think doc could've done a better job, but health is everything. Everybody remembers us losing to Memphis and Toronto, but they don't remember us beating denver and okc. I won't count celtics game with porzingus out, but that was a really impressive game until giannis got hurt. And even when he did leave, the guys gave up the big lead and then pushed it back to double digits.
I don’t know I like Knicks and pacers. Just based on the regular season. Knicks took care of sixers all day and pacers kept whopping on the bucks besides that one game giannnis went off over the ball lmao
@@bigperm079 but I mean the knicks only won 3 more games than the sixers and we didn’t have Embiid for 43 games. And Embiid only played one of those knicks games
so colin doesnt watch the games lol got it. anyone who can pick the 76ers just because "theyre the hottest team" after watching that play in game just doesnt believe in the knicks. Also the knicks are the 2nd hottest team. Dont get me wrong, im not saying the pick is bad its the complete lack of actual analysis that goes with it
yeah, I got Knicks going to ECF losing to Boston in 6. Also Magic over cavs, pacers over Bucks out west I have the same bracket as Colin does. Nuggets repeat over Boston in 6
@@tent21 76ers have 2 players💀 if you think they got more good players you must not be watching the knicks or unless you a fan of 6ers yourself buhhh stats don’t lie 😂
I think the Mavs, with the deadline additions, are more dangerous than talking heads realize. If Luka is as good as Jokic, and Kyrie is as good as Murray, then Dallas has a better team 2-10. I also think the Lakers take the Nuggets fairly deep into a series, 6-7 games and I think the Mavs walk the Clippers. Don't trust any of the Clippers in the playoffs except Kawhi and he isn't healthy. I also can't stand Luka and Kyrie. I wanted to slap that stupid grin off Lukas face when he was crushing our play-in dreams.
As a Mavs fan, I'm really hoping we go to 6 games in the Conference Finals at worst. Then, if they can get one more scorer (cough Klay Thompson cough) then next year our dynasty starts. GO MAVS!
Agree on LA. Everyone just looks at the sweep but LA took them down to the wire in every game. The Lakers were far more competitive than Phoenix who got blown out in the four games Booker wasn't having the best shooting performance in playoff history. The Dallas thing -- yes but Luka x Kyrie isn't as good as Jokic x Murray. That's the magic of basketball is that the whole can be more than the sum of the parts. The way those five guys in Denver can play off each other makes them way better than they are on paper But Dallas is good and they have the same thing Phoenix did last year where their two best guys can single-handedly steal games.
@thetruthofChristwillneverbesto Game 1 was a 3 point game with 3 minutes left. Games 2 and 3 were 1 point games with 8 minutes to go and Game 4 was tied with 1:13 to play Denver is still better but LA was in every game which is more than can be said for the other series last year
My predictions (Most likely wrong because I never get them right) Celtics vs Heat/Bulls- Celtics in 6 over heat/ Celtics in 5 over bulls Knicks vs Sixers- Knicks in 7 Bucks vs pacers-Bucks in 7 (Depends on Giannis) Cavs vs Magic- Cavs in 5 Celtics vs cavs- Celtics in 5 Knicks vs Bucks- Bucks in 6 ( Depends on Giannis) Celtics vs Bucks- Celtics in 7 OKC vs Pelicans or kings- OKC in 6 vs either team Nuggets vs Lakers- Nuggets in 5 T Wolves vs Suns- T wolves in 7 Clippers vs Mavs- Mavs in 6 (Depends on Kawhi) OkC vs Mavs- Mavs in 6 Nuggets vs T wolves- Nuggets in 5 Nuggets vs Mavs- Nuggets in 7 Finals- Celtics vs nuggets- Celtics in 7
@@Gunner1302 LA can play small against you which helps them. Their best lineup is Harden, Powell, Mann, Kawhi, PG. (Same thing with Phoenix. They can play KD at five) Dallas can go small with PJ at center but that helps you as much as them because it takes their size off the floor. But if you have Kyrie (6’2”), Luka (slow), *and* a five I don’t see how they keep up with your offense. It’s really just the Luka factor that makes them scary. I don’t think their defense is anywhere close to 2 years ago
The west is pretty good. The eats i disagree. The Knicks and pacers will go further as i suspect so will orlando if Mitchell plays the way he's been playing for the past 2 months
Wym they beat the 2 this year and in playoff last year they only team too beat them twice with kd first year there with no bench and chris paul was injured
The suns are 2-1 this season against Denver. The first game was KD vs Jokic both with their 2nd and third best players. Denver won that game by like 5 points came down to the final minute. Then the sun's won without booker in OT and Denver was fully healthy. And the third game was suns fully healthy vs Denver without Murray. The suns won that pretty decisively I would choose suns to win in 6 or 7 games
Keep dreaming boy. Mavs destroyed the Thunders last time both Luka and Kyrie played. Its gonna be an easy 4-1 to the Mavs. Luka will show them how the real MVP plays in the playoffs. There is nobody on the Thunder that can stop Luka. 😅
Colin, I was going along with you until you picked the 76ers to beat my KNICKS, not because you picked them, but when you opened your mouth and gave the reason why they'll beat them, which highlighted how ignorant you are about that match up.
Since Luka was drafted in the NBA in 2018, he's 9-9 against the much better nuggets rosters. If they go head to head now, Dallas should be the favorite.
In my opinion, Dallas is the only team that can defeat Denver in 7 or 6. If Dallas overcome Denver, I see them losing to the Celtics. Boston matches really well with the Mavs and can exploit Dallas's weak perimeter defense.
If I want McNuggets then Denver could be a side items but if I want 17 rings I'm picking the Lakers for the main course. Denver is 53 years old franchise, now all of a sudden they are legendary? Give me a break, mummies don't get resurrected. A broken clocks works twice a day.
I feel like Colin is a shell of himself. I used to enjoy his show 2-3 years ago. It's the shallowest NBA coverage today. It's like he can't hear himself anymore and barely watches basketball.
😂 A young Inexperienced Thunder team already destroyed Dallas and other experienced NBA teams,while other experienced teams are sitting at home watching the Thunder play other super-stars😂that desperately are trying not to get beaten by them.😅
@thetruthofChristwillneverbesto Sure but when you're talking about a 1 seed who went through the toughest Western conference in my lifetime they deserve more respect and if you think they'll lose because of shooting, lack of size, or something along those lines I'll hear you out. But to say someone is going to lose when they're clearly a contender (I don't give a damn how young they're) and that's your only argument then you don't actually have an argument.
you should of never let your NBA guy talk you into that Suns pick - you had it right originally. you can't take the worst 4th quarter scoring team in the league Over the Best defensive team in the league... come on now
