NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread

Having Craig instead of both of those guys sure would have been nice. Niang literally gave the game away one game against the Clippers. Gave them like a 10-0 run by himself.

Been saying it for a while. We don't need fancy stats guy any more. We need guys who can serve as those extra bodies and muscle we can throw at the opposition players. That's how you wear your opponent out and grind out Ws during playoffs. Because we overlooked this concept, we became the one that's worn out.

Payne played like 12min tonight. He only gets a decent run when CP3 is hurt but of course it's just an anomaly cuz your starting point guard would never get hurt during playoffs, right?

Jackson is now the sixth man on the Clippers team but that certainly wasn't the plan when the Clippers picked him up off of waiver last year when Detroit cut him. In fact salary wise he's currently their 11th highest paid player. He's receiving more minutes now and therefore pushed Beverley and Rondo further down in the selection chart only because he's played well enough to cement his spot in the rotation. If guys like Oni or Thomas played well enough, they could've challenged Royce or Niang's spot as well.

Payne played 18 minutes per game in the regular season.
22 per game in the playoffs.
Thats called a rotation player not end of the bench scrub.
Reggie Jackson played 23 minutes per game in the regular season and 37 per game in the playoffs and has always been a rotational player (and even a starter) in his career.
He is also not an end of the bench scrub

But don't take my word for it, by all means start a thread asking if those guys are end of the bench scrubs and if they ever have been this year.

Also, Jae Crowder the guy everyone on this board overrates and romanticizes is playing terrible. Surprise surprise.

7/26 from 3 and is averaging 7 PPG in 31 minutes per game. He obviously isn’t stopping anyone on defense either.

Dude it’s not always all about stats. You use the same argument for Tucker. Even Jackson and Van Gundy are raving about Craig’s energy.

So show me his amazing effect. Use advanced stats. Show me how he is shutting down the guy he is guarding for 10 minutes each game.
I'm all ears. Give me sometime tangible to show me how great he is.
Like who is he more important than on the suns team who plays minutes and why?

All I hear is, "you just don't understand" or " you just have to watch the games". I am watching and I see him do something good once in a while. Wow. I also see him do nothing quite often. He gets scored on just like everyone else and on the other end he is mostly ignored by the suns offense and the clippers defense.

Yeah, that's because both Clippers and Suns got a deeper bench and played more guys in their rotation. Cam Payne's 18 min per game is good for 8th most minutes played on the team, barely edging out Saric' 17.4 min per game.

And guess who's our eighth guy in the rotation?

Georges Niang.

Is he not our end of bench scrub? He surely plays like one in that Clippers series.

Suns tenth man is Frank Kaminsky BTW. That'd be equivalent of Trent Forrest in the Jazz rotation chart.

It’s obviously working and even more of a reason why we need to look at some small ball options this off-season.

Agreed.
I just recall everyone saying Rudy can't punish small ball cause of his lack of shooting and offensive moves but Ayton, oh boy he would feast on small ball. (Rudy and Ayton averaged the same amount of points per game btw)
He doesn't get pushed around and would get a bunch of offensive rebounds.
Ayton was a negative 22 on the court. Worst on the team.
Saric was a plus 8. Highest on the team.

And the suns are healthy unlike the jazz and the clippers are even more banged up than they were against the jazz.
And they are more tired while suns are more rested. Paul George has played way more minutes than anyone else on the playoffs this year according to the announcers.

Try watching the games in a different way than you normally do. Everyone else can see it besides you.

I found these literally searching Twitter for 30 seconds. I guess everyone is just crazy and Craig sucks because he doesn’t put up crazy stats.

I never overrated or romanticized him. Quite the opposite in fact
