Doc Rivers has truly earned the honor of all star head coach. His 1-5 record is emblematic of his coaching ability, surely earning the respect and admiration of the elite players in the league
Why does Shaq have these random episodes where he tries to assert himself by trying to belittle people and falling back on yelling and the rings that Kobe and Wade carried him to?
Even the best team in the NBA has a better chance of beating the 8th seed rather than the 2nd seed. You're not afraid of anyone on your road to a championship, but with the strength of teams in the west, being the 2nd vs 3rd seed can make a huge difference.
Cavs fan here in Ohio. After last seasons playoff loss, they need to prove it in the postseason before we get any love I guess. 2nd seed going into the allstar break n loving the way they're playing! Go Cavs!

It’s all about matchups in the playoffs. You want the easiest path to the Finals. And yes if you’re a dominant team it doesn’t matter who you play but you still want the easiest path. If you’re in a spot where you can avoid playing some really good teams while they beat up on each other while ousting another good team for you, then that’s even better.
I can stand with what Shaq is saying. If you really are a championship contender why not defeat the tough team in the first round? Then the other rounds (with the added pressure of each round) should be easier relatively speaking. You can’t be soft in sports
You can’t really “choose” who you want to play. Also it’s common sense why the top seeds usually win the championship, they avoid the gauntlet aka not beating 4 great teams in playoff series
at some point in time, going to the postseason arguments. i dont like shaq saying he aint scared of any seeded teams.. loved kenny's point.. its the postseason, as much as possible, finish the first round opponent in a short time, then grind it out the rest of the way... but.. this argument could be 50-50... if teamA have beaten a projected champion team in the first round in a grit and grind battle, it will show showcase on how they will adjust and showcase on what is their weakness in the same first round...and that is an advantage going to the next round, as the coach possibly know then on what rotation is he is going to use. also, beating teams in blowout sometimes is a bad case.. ... just because yall shooting 60% from three doesnt mean yall gonna do that all thru the finals... of course as a team and as a fan, we loved blowing out opponents.. but when it comes to tight games, and your team isnt experienced enough to deal in tight low scoring games, then its a different story.
Shaq thinks that somehow the bad teams will advance in the Playoffs. xD You meet great teams the deeper you go in the Playoffs, bro. It gets harder no matter what because the better teams always win.
sometimes I wonder if Shaq is just playing a character for TV, cuz there’s no way someone that has made as much money as he has OUTSIDE of basketball is incapable of forming a more cohesive argument than “shut up I’m better than you”

Rudy postered Giannis twice but they only showed Giannis dunk on Rudy. Nice narrative TNT how bout we stop talking about 10th and 12th seeds and talk about the teams that have destroyed them
it is a fact. There's an easier path and a tougher path. You can play all the tough team, and stretch your team to 7 games, it will make your team to a disadvantage for the upcoming rounds. Kenny is right. There's a bigger chance of injury when pushing the team full throttle. On hindsight, shaq is right. It doesn't matter who he played in the past. They are all bbq chicken to him 😂🍗
