Who is the last Dook player to be the best player on a title team? There isn’t one. The list of Duke players in the NBA is very long, but only like 5-6 of them are good. Lots of high picks doing very little.

That is very funny though. Kyrie Irving hit the series winning shot and had a great finals and was the Cavs second best player when they won it in 2016. So that’s something. Tatum and Kyrie are stars, Banchero will soon be a star, Zion would be a star if he could stay healthy, and Ingram is good. RJ Barrett is a starter but has been disappointing. And they’ve got a handful of decent role players. Guys like Bagley, Wendell Carter, Reddish, Giles, Okafor(not in the league anymore) have been disappointing.

Who is the last Dook player to be the best player on a title team? Hopefully this year. Tatum is a top 5-7 player in the league now. He made the Finals 2 years ago and best player on 1 number overall seed. It took 2 games for Boston to realize Tyler Herro can’t handle ball pressure. Miami misses Gabe Vincent. They have no real ball handling. Jrue Holliday was a dog that half and his ball pressure destroyed Miami’s offense. Miami made a franchise record 3 pointers in game 2 because Boston was passive and allowing them to get open looks. I think Boston plays better on the road in the playoffs for some reason and Miami likes playing in Boston.

Miami really misses Rozier - I expect that Mills will get a decent amount of PT in Game 4 Also, Herro asking Pritchard to meet him after the game….GTFO, you cheeseball.

No sweep this year! That damn game 2 heartbreaker. This series should be 2-2.
Lakers have led at halftime in all 4 games.

When’s the last legit NBA fight where guys really got after it? Draymond sucker punching his teammate doesn’t count, I’m talking actual scraps where both guys are really trying to get after it and not just pretending? Rick Fox and Doug Christie?

Kinda bothers me that Villanova has 4 guys that are starters in the Sixers-Knicks series alone.
Syracuse has 4 players in the NBA, 2 of them are mainly G League guys, and only 1 is a starter.
Let’s get good again.

Can the Warriors loan the Knicks Draymond for the rest of this series just to lay Embiid out. This guy is a joke with how dirty he is. Refs don’t even care either.

Philly plays basketball like it’s the 90s. Their style doesn’t fit this model. They foul hunt like crazy with Embiid and outside of Maxey the rest of the roster are overpaid or past their prime role players.
Tobias Harris contract is among the worst of alltime.
Knicks are getting hammered and get no calls. The winner of this game will win the series.

Let’s get good again. The 3 Knicks from Nova were on their 2016 NC team. Hart left that year and the other 2 were part of their 2018 NC team. At the time those teams didn’t get credit for the NBA talent on the roster but Jay Wright built an insane talented roster. Our guys don’t do well in the NBA because they aren’t finished products and more prospects and it takes pro coaching to get their talent out developed. Outside of Melo of course. It’s sad but true. Jeremy Grant developed because of pro coaching. Hopefully Freeman develops.

Was not expecting the Clips to win both matinee games…and without Leonard to boot.

That’s what the announcers were saying. Pritchard kind of gave him this “shut up, clown” look. The game was out of hand at this point, so the announcers started talking about the wrestling broadcast that was supposed to air after the game ended …something to the effect of “maybe we’ll stay here for our own wrestling”. Herro looks like an idiot with that embarrassing effort at a goatee.
