From Distance: Cavs: the Vlog, Musing on Round Two
2019-05-05four point play… (not exactly in this order)
1. In this rendition of rousing video work, I praise the majesty of Nikola Jokic, lament the overall annoyance of the Rockets/Warriors Series (that eye poke was on purpose), and hit on the Eastern Conference at about 10 mins in.
2. Horford is thrilled he doesn’t have to play Tristan Thompson.
3. Officiating. I talk about it.
4. Also, how awesome is the Kirk Goldsberry idea to have a “three second rule” for the corner three? Let’s implement it immediately.
Good article from Ben Rubin on Ty Lue and Avery Johnson:

You’re right. That’s excellent.
Not sure he was first to do that.
In fact I think Horford and Milsap played that role in ATL.
anyone interested in trading for lowry? i hear his value may be dropping a bit..
before the ridicule starts flowing.. this is sarcasm
Hell of a bounce back from a grueling loss by Denver. They have shown a lot of mental toughness these playoffs.
Agreed… impressed. Murray and Jokic are growing up quickly. Harris and Morris take the next step, and they have a dynamic team.
Or if Porter Jr. is healthy and shooting it. He can spell Millsap at the 4 or push Barton to the bench at the 3.
Murray, Harris, Porter, Millsap, Jokic
Morris, Barton, Beasley, Craig, Plumlee.
Lillard has been as pedestrian in this series as he was godly against the Thunder…he needs to get it going…
Good for Rodney Hood. Sometimes it takes guys multiple stops or a longer time to develop. He just didn’t seem comfortable in the pressure cooker, win-now, environment of the LeBron Cavs and a bottom of the league team this year wasn’t a good situation for him either.
Was happy to see him leave the Cavs but also happy he’s gotten a chance to come through in some big moments.
LMAO RODNEY HOOD AGAIN!
For the last time: It’s his brother!!
nah… put some respect on his name!
Uh-oh, Jokic holding his knee…
Will Barton. Wow.
The 3 second thing in the corner is not something I had heard of. I sort of hate rules changes like that, but it seems the best solution I have heard for getting rid of the spread iso offense. Would be interesting to see how guys Harden or LBJ would handle that. I never got the hate for Horford on this blog. He has been a good player for a long time and one of the better switchable big defenders in the league on multiple teams. He isn’t a superstar, but no one ever should have thought he was.

Correction. Huh, he was drafted before Noah and Brewer. For some reason I felt like he was overshadowed on that team for some reason.
Ugh I wish there was an edit button since I always forget to proof posts.
Horford’s a chump… takes cheap shots at Delly and makes a living getting owned by the Cavs in the playoffs.
Meh heat of the moment. Nowhere near as bad as some other guys in the league, or the 80s or 90s.
Uh, slamming Delly when he was with Atlanta? Anna Horford popping off on Twitter? Flagrant fouls… Running his mouth?
The three second thing would be dumb. You’d see guys stepping out and going back in like defensive three seconds. It wouldbl look like a stupid little dance. You’d also literally need another ref for it. Too much to watch as it is.
Leonard so good tonight.
He has arguably been the best player in the playoffs.
Kawhi or KD. Maybe Giannis, Jokic, Harden or Lillard.
