Monty Williams has agreed to a six-year, $78.5 million contract with the Detroit Pistons, sources tell ESPN. It’s the largest coaching deal in NBA history.
@loc12313@BurnsAndGambo You’re right the series won’t start until Denver beats us in Game 3 in Phoenix after beating us in Game 2 in Denver to go up 3-0. This saying and mentality is so stupid.
Devin Booker is the 1st guard in NBA playoff history to average at least 35 PPG on 60% shooting or better across a 5-game span in the same postseason, per @Stathead.
Other players to do it: Kareem, Giannis, Elgin Baylor, Bernard King, Kawhi, Mikan and Shaq.
@rafa_rds6 @TBijeren @ChaseCCon @AndrewLeezus Curry is shooting 9% worse from the field, 5% worse from three, has less points per game, less assists per game, less steals per game, less blocks per game, he has more turnovers per game, and his team is down 1-2. In the playoffs, Book has cleared him, and it's not even close.
@yuCantguardmE15 @AndrewLeezus Game 1 he was better than Book. Game 2 Book was better, and when you combine both games, Book was better. Kawhi was 24/44, Book was 24/41, and he had more steals than Kawhi, and more blocks, with the same number of assists.
Then when you add in Book's Game 3/4, he clears, easily
@yuCantguardmE15 @AndrewLeezus Right now, as of April 23, 2023, Devin Booker has been the best player in the entire NBA Playoffs. He’s playing better than everybody on that list that you mentioned and it’s not even close.
@TBijeren @ChaseCCon @AndrewLeezus He is 100% better than Kawhi Dame AD and Tatum. Really no argument for any of those guys over him. He’s an elite defender now, and one of the best efficient scorers in the game. Jokic and Giannis are fair to say they’re over him, and I think Curry Embiid and KD are debatable.
@AndrewLeezus Fr bro he’s cleared so many of the older players (LeBron Kawhi Dame etc) and I know it’s only round 1 but he’s starting to clear Tatum (easily) and at this rate, Luka. It’s insane to watch.
