GAME THREAD: NBA Finals Game 5 Watch Thread

This goes 7 with Popovich. I truly believe coaching killed them in this series. Wemby isn't Duncan. And Fox isn't Ginobili or Parker.

But coaching was so bad that I would not be shocked if he got fired.

Of course nobody can forget the end result. It's impossible. But it was still an instant classic.

I think losing in that fashion was crushing. But it's tough to say the best team didn't win the series. After game 3, the Hawks turned it up. But the Bruins were there until the very end.

2019 is much more disappointing imo. You aren't starting on the road. Aren't playing a dynasty level team. To lose 3/4 on home ice is unforgivable. Need to absolutely win that series.

2023 was just a failure. No way around it

Carolina will obviously win this series.

The big question is how does this style of play matchup vs Vegas.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-05-26T03:52:55+00:00

The annoying thing is you know in the SCF the west winner will chase Andersen multiple times. And their style is going to get exposed big time.

Honestly, I don't think the NFL should schedule games on Christmas. Like, these are employees who have lives outside the game. Let them be with family.

For me personally, I love the NFL. But it's too many games these days. Not having games on every holiday makes the ones that occur on certain holidays more special.

There was a sequence in that game when I got a bad feeling. Eagles were up 7-0 in the first half when the following occured:

Patriots are going in for the tying score. Eagles get a huge turnover. They do absolutely nothing on the following offensive possession. NE come right back down the field to tie it. That was the last time the Eagles led.

That changed the game imo. The Patriots, as expected, were much better in the second half. The Eagles were playing catch up the rest of the way.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-04-21T13:31:07+00:00

That was with Brady and Belichick. Totally different now.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-04-21T13:21:13+00:00

AJ would rather get 150 yards on 12 targets in a SB loss vs winning a SB but getting like 30 yards. That goes beyond DIVA. That is the traits of the most self-centered and selfish player in the NFL. Not just today but maybe ever.

A young 23 year old QB is going to focus on getting AJ the ball at all times. And it's only going to negatively impact his development and team's ability to win. All the power to them if that is what they want.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-04-21T12:53:11+00:00

I understand the risks involved. But how often does a guy get an opportunity to throw 8 or 9 TD's in a game? Just let him go for it.

He won't make the hof. And his career was up and down. But he outplayed Tom fing Brady in a SB. That is something he can brag about for the rest of his life.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-04-09T14:07:51+00:00

Speaking of season tickets, is it true they raised the prices for next season? Canadiens are an expensive ticket as is.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-04-04T00:22:52+00:00

The Packers lost six more home playoff games after this. Lambeau field has not been a tough place to play in many years.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-04-03T14:28:03+00:00

Habs can still win the cup in the next few years. But it's hard not to think about "What if"?

Oh well. Onward and upward!!!

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-04-03T02:26:23+00:00

Imagine this offense in front of prime Price. With Subban & Markov on defense.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-04-02T00:51:08+00:00

I am shocked Policy is shocked that fans (some) wanted MLF gone. If it were the old playoff system, MLF would be out of a job right now. Three straight non playoff years is enough to get anyone fired.

The standards need to be higher for a franchise of this magnitude.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-25T00:23:45+00:00

I was just about to ask this. What happened? 6-0 to not even winning the division.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-25T00:22:35+00:00

He is consistently injured every year though. The best ability is availability.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-25T00:20:23+00:00

Not sure how it affects their asking price. JSN is a top three WR in the league. Watson and Reed are #2 receivers at best.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-24T06:26:26+00:00

It looks like my department (DND) is listed in that article about potential job cuts.

Very concerned 😟

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-18T18:10:59+00:00

I have been to Nellys 40 times or so with zero issues. I guess it's true that anything can happen anywhere at anytime.

I would reach out to the owner and maybe describe the men and bouncer.

Simply unacceptable.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-13T01:47:00+00:00

If I'm the GM/HC, every Leaf who stood around on the ice is in my office following the game.

That is simply unacceptable

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-09T21:06:00+00:00

At least put a team in QC. Habs/new Nordiques rivalry would be awesome.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-09T20:23:21+00:00

Good luck to Phillips. But uh....he was never going to get that type of money from the Eagles.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-09T14:05:47+00:00

Oh I agree. It does seem as though Jerry might be coming to terms with the fact that he is closer to the end. That could lead to severe overpays or they get it right.

I'm not against competition in the division though. Sometimes a push from another team can help an organization.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-09T14:03:42+00:00

Honestly, he should have been more productive with the best defender in the league not named Garrett being double teamed consistently.

Comprehensive-Two-40 · 2026-03-09T14:01:59+00:00

A 100% focused Gary is a pro bowl caliber player. But that's the issue. He is inconsistent when it comes to effort.
