2025 Playoffs Chat & Chill Thread

I think it is clearly the floor raiser. They have far and away the tougher assignments. They have the target on them at all times as every other team knows, as goes Jokic, so goes the entire Denver squad. So they have the most weight to lift. SGA rarely had the target squarely on his back as the opponents knew they had other players who could beat you. What is harder, making the cake or spreading the icing? Obviously you **** up the cake there is never going to be any icing to begin with.
Good Points.
 
Is it easier/better/more impressive/more important to be a floor raiser or a ceiling raiser, to be a guy that takes a 30 win team to a 50 win team, or a 50 win team to a 70 win team? (This is a philosophical question, I don't think there is a correct answer.)
Probably more impressive to take a 50 win team to 70 wins.
In this discussion I think OKC is a 50 team without SGA. With SGA they are a 70 win team.
With jokic i think they are also a 70 win team but an even better 70 win team.
 
Still furious Orlando didn't pony up for Sexton.

I don't think he would have gotten Orlando to beat Boston, but they would be a lot more competitive
 
Miami lost 10 games in a row just last month and now they look semi competitive against the best team in the East. What happened?
 
Jaime Jaquez Jr went from being THE example of being slept on to DNPCDs. His shooting just fell off a cliff midway through his rookie year.

I hope he has a good off season and has a great 3rd year because I really like him.
 
It's going to be so interesting to see what HOU does this off season. They need a high level offensive option and lucky for them I think quite a few will be on the market this summer. They might pull off the infamous "consolidation trade" that never happens.
