Why These NBA Teams DIDN'T Make The Finals... including the New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, OKC Thunder, and Cleveland Cavaliers #nba #nbaplayoffs #2024nba
MPJ is getting paid 40 million and was genuinely unplayable in the series vs Minnesota. I’m not saying trade him but this just shows why you don’t give bumper contracts to non all star players
The reason the knicks were injured in the first place was because Tom Thibodeau was playing his starters 40+ mins a night. This put strain on their bodies and more chance for injury over time. This wasn’t just in the playoffs, it was also towards the end of the regular season. They acquired all this depth this year and didn’t really use it.
That nuggets lose was not supposed to happen. In game 7, they were up 20 in the 3rd quarter. The fact is that Jokic only had one assist the whole 2nd half. No one not named Jokic and Murray were making shots. In fact, they were the only nuggets who scored more than 9 points all game. MPJ just isn’t consistent enough for what they are paying him.
The Nuggets lost because they matched up against Minnesota-the team designed to beat them. Minnesota lost because they were built to beat the nuggets, and no one else.
Scary thing is OKC can only improve this off-season. Even if they keep giddey. If I'm not mistaken, they still have a healthy number of available cap space to sign a player that'll definitely make a difference on the team as far as how their role will fit and assisting the core they already have. Like you mentioned, someone like Clint capela or Jarrett Allen or someone else.
Timberwolves needed a secondary offensive player who could also initiate the offense. Ant is still learning and growing that part of his game. Malik Monk would be perfect for them. I doubt they could afford him so maybe a cheaper option would be Jordan clarkson or Alec burks
As a okc fan the issue was them not hitting 3”s while the mavs hit theirs the rebounding was an issue but wasn’t the main reason why okc lost the games was all close with okc losing the rebounding battle the problem was okc couldn’t covert their 3”s and couldn’t convert on turnovers which is how they made up for lack of rebounding.Also chet at the 5 is the main reason okc was so good chet can add muscle he won’t be Gianni’s but he will get stronger but they do need to put jdub at the 2 or 3 and get a bigger forward someone similar to Aaron Gordon at the 4

I have the same number of Conference finals appearances as Joel Embiid. Am I legendary?

The Wolves lost bc Antman couldn't keep his mouth shut. He got humbled real quick and pouted all the way home.
People realizing that Rudy wasn’t the problem during that mass series are gonna tweak

Because they dont have Bronny
Pacers could have beat the Celtics lmao Celtics barely won and they only had Haliburton for one game. Be real
timberwolves were not mentaly ready. think winning the last series got in there head.

Streets need another expansion draft

Shoutout to the Washington Wizards🧙 for giving up Porzingis and Gafford and giving us this NBA Finals
