The NBA playoffs are here and ready to distract you from your life and civil duties. The question everybody’s asking is who’s “taking it all “. The answer is unfortunately the Miami Heat. But the reason for me writing this article is to assist you in winning your bets. If you’re betting on the Knicks and the Celtics series I recommend you bet on my team, the New York Knicks. They don’t have the offensive pace to last with the potent Knicks for a full game. The manner, in which the Knicks are defending the Celtics, is displaying that there in the playoffs for the long run.
Ask Rivers a question about how his team has responded to adversity over the last six years, and he’ll be quick to point out that “This is not that group. This is not the group we’ve had. This is a bunch of new guys, with two guys [who’ve been there before].”
They just attacked us,” Rivers said, “and we didn’t handle it very well
“We let them get inside our plays and it was to their advantage,” Avery Bradley, point guard by default, said. “We were getting shots up like three seconds into the shot clock every time down the floor.”
If you’re betting on the Warriors and Nuggets series you should put your money on The City. The Warriors have two of the best perimeter shooters in the world: Stephen Curry and Clay Thompson. They also are second in the league in offensive rebounding, which is a vital component in winning the series. Second chance opportunities for the Warriors will eventually take them to the second round of playoffs were they would lose regardless whoever they’re And there was also teammate Richard Jefferson in front of his locker after the game. Jefferson has played 12 seasons and is in the playoffs for the ninth time, some with long runs, so he knows this is different.
“A hundred percent,” Jefferson said. “From my experience of just being around this league, it doesn’t matter if you’re an All-Star, it doesn’t matter if you’re this or that. When you play well in the playoffs, it carries over all summer long. There’s a certain respect that goes with. It’s the same thing with guys who win championships. There’s a certain elite group, an elite club of guys, that are like, ‘Hey, I respect you. I know what you’ve done. I know what you’ve been through. You’ve been to the mountain top.’ ”
Lacob, the owner of the Golden state warriors discuuses about curry.
“Besides the fact that I’m getting an ulcer and my neck is killing me I’m so nervous?” Lacob said, smiling.
Yes, exactly. Besides that and all the way to an extra feeling of vindication.
“Yes,” he said.
Lacob paused and broke out in laughter.
“I don’t know what else to say,” he did say. “I think we’ve known that all year, so this is no surprise to us tonight. He’s been playing like this all year. It means more in the playoffs, certainly. But it wasn’t just him tonight.”
One night was that big of a deal, to the team and the player and the entire franchise moving forward. One night was Curry taking the next step. Things had become different even if they were the same.
