It is the 2018-19 NBA Playoffs discussion thread for hoops friends ONLY

pacers miss oladipo, its almost like not having your best player affects your performance in the playoffs

folks by my reading the pacers have scored 12 points in the second half and there are less then 7 minutes to go, that seems bad

pacers have scored 69 points and that's the sex number so they're doing just fine

nice

pg cant buy a fg

I’m about halfway through the second quarter but if pg’s shoulder keeps bothering him as much as it seems this series could be short

Still going to be hard fought, regardless.

I liked the part where they cut to Seth’s fiance and jvg was like “and there’s Seth and Steph’s sister rooting hard for her brother today”

grant is an absolutely sick iso defender

Lol kanter ok dude

def the shot you want in the crunch is a lanky seven footer hobbling to the ft line for a off balance scoop shot

also he def travelled but this game was officiated so weird like who cares really whatever

Take it how you can get it.

Gotta love Russ not even pretending to contest on the most important possession of the game

Lol no Blake no thanks that game will be unwatchable

milwaukee winning by at min 20 pts or they cant win the title imo

Only took one quarter lol

I think Drummond hates basketball is my feelings about him

drummond's made too many meaningful improvements in his game to be in the hates basketball camp but his motivation does come and go

prob hard to really get up for such a clearly doomed series

yeah this is going to be a massacre

i do not wish to watch "detroit vs milwaukee"

jesus it's a 40 point game!?!? disaster

without blake the pistons could be a 20-win team

bucks up 37 with two minutes left and espn had them at 99.9% to win

i want to see that 1-in-1000 scenario

2:01 MIL - PG Bledsoe contemplates meaninglessness of existence (Kennard fouls)

2:01 MIL - PG Bledsoe FT made, what does it even matter (1 out of 2)

2:01 MIL - PG Bledsoe FT made, but is the throw really free when bound by the dictates of the rules (2 out of 2)

1:58 MIL - Flagrant foul 2 (PG Bledsoe - desire to feel the rush of chaos over entropy)

1:55 MIL - Delay of game (PG Bledsoe sets all the basketballs ablaze)

"Asked about his former teammates, Kanter said that he had tried to speak with Steven Adams before the game, but got no response."

damn the halo of russ's dickishness is profound

Jazz still have the same problem. No offense unless d mitch is going off.

i see their stats, i understand their stats, but i still don't think the jazz are very good

To me they’re just the definition of “solid”

low ceiling team like imagine them getting hot going on a run you cannot

btw the celtics blowing out the pacers while scoring 84 points dont see that every day

yeah this jazz team could really use another scorer ideally an all around efficient guy like, say, gordon hayward

dont just find a guy like that laying around

maybe at one home opener

Zing

ayyy

Kris Middleton would be great for the Jazz though I imagine Bucks will do everything they can to keep him.

running w giannis is a pretty good deal

yeah he's another example of the type, or tobias harris

excited to be rooting hard for my favorite team the new york nets

brooklyn bros >> LA bros

We got a swarm of Nets fans behind courtside tonight! pic.twitter.com/xnp4Nk5MTm

noisy brooklyn fans need more time to hone their craft, go nets

Reporter asks Kenny Atkinson a direct question: Will your defenders keep sagging off Embiid and Simmons until they make perimeter shots?

Atkinson uses a good bit to think over his answer, can’t think of anything creative, and finally simply says, “Yes.”
