The bitter taste is noticeable. On the one hand, Luka Doncic has shown for the umpteenth time that he is one of the best players in the world. and whose historical spirit will be demonstrated over the years. On the other, his Dallas Mavericks they are before an impossible undertaking. The Suns do not play ‘in the same league’ and since ‘Game 1’ They have shown that in a five-on-one match, the team has to win. That yes, the Mavs are not the Nets. And darn battle.
If the conference semifinals of the NBA started on its first day with close and fast-paced games, the remaining two games did not reach that level. In the first turn, Miami was a cyclone against the Sixers who repeat their ‘sins’, and in the second, Phoenix commanded despite getting complicated in the final five minutes due to the work and grace of the Mavs’ ’77’.
luka is hysterical
Luka Doncic debuted in the second round of the post-season. Just as data, note… I mean, it had never been seen at this point in the NBA. And no, it did not disappoint. He delivered everything on the court and from the first quarter he was the benchmark for some Mavs that could well have dropped from the first 12 ‘. But no, to the degree of competitiveness that Mark Cuban’s franchise always ensures, they added a historic, toned and motivated Doncic. A perfect Doncic.
He has it impossible. The series can be extended more or less matches. In fact, nobody thinks the Suns ‘sweep’ 4-0. But Doncic has a company before him that he can’t answer with what Dallas has lined up. Keep scoring historic numbers, probably 40 points night after night they are a reality, but seen what has been seen only serve to lengthen the agony … Or not, because he is a champion. And there is no doubt about that class of ‘predators’.
Sorry for doubting the Suns
I’m sorry. I have made a mistake. Like that ‘meme’ that circulates through social networks, we must apologize to all of us who doubted the Phoenix Suns. Recital to appear in the ‘semis’ of the West, especially in the success. 50% shooting from the field and 39% from 3-point range. Capturing 15 rebounds (51 for 36) than Dallas and sending from ‘horn’ to ‘horn’ on the scoreboard. A game.
Of course, the physicist is still his ‘must’. Devin Booker can’t play at full intensity all game and suffers lows (in the third quarter, for example, I noticed), Chris Paul responds but you will always have unknowns, and DeAndre Ayton tends towards disconnects. Therein lies their foundation to know if they can dream of winning the NBA. Against Dallas it seems so.
Without Embiid there is no party worth
If in the previous hours it was more than known that the Philadelphia 76ers depended, to a large extent, on the recovery process of Joel Embid. On the parquet it was demonstrated from minute 1. The Sixers lost their standard player, their solution when the game generators (Harden and Maxey) do not have, precisely, solutions and a total physique on every court. They lost everything.
Without the Cameroonian pvot -or French, perhaps-, ‘Philly’ will find it impossible to win the NBA. The inside game falters and they fall against rivals of lower quality but who always struggle, such as Bam Adebayo. Therefore, they must hold on to their medics and pray that he returns when the series returns to normal. ‘city of brotherly love’. Otherwise ride for the Heat.
Tyler Herro, more than a pretty face and a beach look
which player is it Tyler Herro. The Miami ‘icon’ relaunched by Jack Harlow, a well-known American rapper, is joined by immense qualities for basketball. And proof of his quality in the NBA Playoffs. Against the Sixers he showed his arsenal as a ‘sniper’ and a total outside threat. He had 25 points, the 34th game of the season in which he had 20 or more without starting.
Herro is the last from Miami ‘to make it to the Playoffs’. A ‘choral’ team, in which one of its big names always contributes to the cause. They won’t be stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee or the ‘Jay’s’ in Boston, but competing is guaranteed.
