By Sharp Go To PostThe Nuggets are 0-8 in games where an opponent shoots 45% or higher against them this season. The Celtics are 4-6. Both teams are 0-2 when an opponent shot 50% or better from three against them (0-3 now for the Celtics), but objectively the Celtics do a better job of winning games with very high opponent three point shooting than the Nuggets do.We just watched the Nuggets come back from a 20 point deficit where the Lakers outshot them from three
And another double digit lead in Game 1
Why are we doing this

Heat just need to make 10+ more threes a game than the SHOOKtics and the Jaylen x Tatum era is over
Also Joe gets fired and they’re left with just max Jrue and Porzingus

By reilo Go To PostWe just watched the Nuggets come back from a 20 point deficit where the Lakers outshot them from threeI watched the healthy Nuggets lose a 20 point lead to the Spurs with Wemby and a bunch of G leaguers a few days ago in a game that cost Denver the 1 seed because the Spurs shot 45% from three. 20 points isn't some insurmountable deficit anymore and good teams can in fact lose to bad teams having hot shooting nights.

As for the second part of your sentence, the Celtics have won a bunch of games where opponents outshot them from three. They did it by winning the other factors, which they also did tonight (more FTs, tied TOs, more offensive rebounds, better 2P%). Not quite as many where they had a huge deficit to come back from, but that's mostly because they are almost never at a huge deficit in the first place. They didn't have one in this game. for example.

I'm done with this lol.
By Pac-2 Go To PostHell nah. SGA, go sit your ass down with that bullshit shot.pels got this
By pilonv1 Go To PostStill can't see anyone beating a healthy Denver. Everyone else is just midbet
By reilo Go To PostThe Nuggets have won 4 out of 6 playoff games against the Lakers where they trailed by double digits over the '23 and '24 playoffs.I too enjoy making fun of the Lakers, and think the Nuggets are a very good team. They don't have some special quality that makes them better at coming back from big deficits (which double digits isn't at all, BTW) or surviving outlier three point shooting performances. Celtics this season were 6-6 in games within 3 points, Nuggets 6-7. Within 10, Celtics 42-5, Nuggets 28-10. Against .500 teams, Celtics 34-15, Nuggets 29-23. There again is just not a lot of evidence the Nuggets are better at whatever it is you're trying to parse out here than the Celtics are, unless it's "being down a bunch at some point in the game" which is more about how bad the Nuggets bench is than anything else.
I'm done with this lol.
I realize you're trying to imply that we can just throw out anything that happened in the regular season because it's not the playoffs. But the playoffs have a tiny sample size, the Celtics roster is completely different from last season's (and much better), and teamwide 50% shooting performances are fake without exception unless the context is "we're in the All Star game."
i'm looking forward to what an ingram trade will bring the pels in the offseason. even if they only get Jalen Duren or Mark Williams or something similar.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostThis series sucks without Zion.i wish ingram was at least half as good as he thinks he is and that cj could go back to being the 3rd option instead of being the only guy who can tilt the okc defense.
well, jonas can also tilt their defense, but he can't initiate plays himself. still depends on someone getting him the ball when he's already in the post.
By Kabro Go To PostSad to.say but Ingram ain't built for prime time.This should be the first of his best years of his career but he’s been getting worse
He still fairly young though

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To Post🤣 I honestly can't stand Jimmy's game but he is a s tier troll

Lmao! Appointment viewing. Lawrence Fishburn and Ed O'Neil are genius casting choices.
Doc Rivers dresses and looks like he just found out his daughter is a porn star and Lawrence's daughter is a porn star
FX actually been churning out some good shit that goes deeper than you think. Trailer makes it look a bit soap opera shallow but they're working with grounded material.
