Pacers sticking tough. I think they have this, Celtics will be all tired and fouling out by mid-4th. AND Tyree finally found his perimeter shot.

If Nesmith could hit the broad side of a barn, they’d be a lot closer.

They might have even settled for hitting a lake from the pier.

AND….nope.

[oldgoldy97]

Honestly, though, Nesmith needs more consistency.

The P in MVP is player.

Houston sinks a fully rostered Bucks squad even with Yannis going thermonuclear.


Wild.

To quote a fan, "Nesmith had an off shooting night, but damn he did play some inspired defense."

and to quote another: "Outside of injuries, I just don't see how anyone beats this Celtics team in a 7 game series. They are so good."

and then there is this: "Aaron, Myles, Jalen and Benn shot a combined 1-20 from three."

I do think they are gonna watch a lot of tape and try and get Bruce and Nembhard back. We have no defense on the floor when Hali and Hield are in together.

Bucks are a fraud

[ninjacookies]

Nom's constructed a hybrid kevlar polyethylene gundam 2nd skin for Lord Knee Smith that's so stalwart that it's inpenetrable by even warranted criticism projectile mechanisms.

Very rare. Very rare.

Damn, I am enshrined in the ninja canon. Not worthy. But sheesh.

The thing is, and to the point of the core consistency issue, even on a brick laying day, Nesmith avoids criticism because he always rules on defense and has like half the highlights, usually a steal dunk flex combo, but sometimes a fierce shutdown at the rim or wrestling move on Giannis or ruined Ja behind the titties slam. So like he's not a great fantasy sports pick, which I think keeps him unknown to the gambling elements, but that's almost by design (see Drax).

I mean, the Garden Report guys gave Oshae Brissett the ultimate compliment and said he's a little like Nesmith. Had no idea he and Hali are on the phone everyday, like fam.

Its so sad that the 23/24 season thread has also became an AARONESMITH thread

Ever thought of spreading the love to Football, Baseball or even WWE threads?

Would be great if Nesmith had his own thread. Oh wait...

Why don’t you guys just talk about the other games more?

That would require them to watch the games and have actual thoughts instead of constantly trying to troll. Too far advanced for this forum as whole.

I watch more games than most. However, this isn't the place to discuss them.

[Nomad]

Could be right. I admit my turf is limited and I really don't come out with Nesmith zingers any more except by popular demand.

But I would lay a dime on the Pacers coming out with a shut down plan for Monday, probably countered by a Celtics' monkey in the wrench. As Haliburton said, "they're a team that watches as much tape as we do."

And yes, proud to be part of team Miraikan. I will get busy sir ninj in setting up the perimeter defenses. It was asking a lot of knee high to go balls out in a B2B after an ankle sprain, but we need to push through on this operation. To avenge for much disrespect on the parquet floor.

And Sengun having his worst shooting night of the season.

Still 21/11/4 for The Wizard.

I’ve been saying this.

BO is a place where box score watchers talk about the players.

If you want to have a nuanced discussion about real basketball, go to RealGM

[Nomad]

Might as well have a thread where we can transcend that and talk about actual games and players who are moving needles on the daily?

Speaking of which, Spurs and Cavs having a game. Really don't get why Wemby gets taken out just when the Spurs need him most. He might be winded, but he's 20. By the time he gets back two minutes later the Spurs are down double digits.

I actually like collectors... they can be dweebs, but then I have that element. And we need that rearguard element protecting Manu Ginobli and Manute Bol prices. Just like the game itself, basketball cards are a complex game of strategy.

[KhalDrogo]

If this isn’t a good place to talk the games, and nobody talks the cards anymore, it appears this forum can be deleted?

[hairyangryfella]

I'd like to see/talk about the games but as I've said, I tend to avoid this thread due to the spam/nonsense about Nes***. It really sucks the interest out of here.

[Nomad]

I really hate fascists. But I let them slide, because we live in a democracy.
