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

pacers are slowing it way down to try to prevent the celtics break

It’s the only shot they’ve got.

tatum was really good in the 4th, which was all i saw.

indys been pretty good all things considered except for the fact that the celtics seem to be able to shut them down at will, they just dont have a lot of offensive talent w/o dipo, even with him tbh

like it seemed like everything they were tossing up was going in tonight then they finish w 91pts on 45%

the second play here where tatum found hayward was so good he saw it the whole way

Tatum hits a three to give Boston the lead, assists to extend it, and dunks to seal it

also a great push and pass by brown on that first play

that play was started with unbelievable defense by al, he just tracked bojan to the rim and took the ball away.

yeah youre just not gonna make a line drive drive with al on u like that, same thing w turner on the other side something the celtics learned a few times tonight

i mean he makes that play even when hes trailing most of the time, if u dont even have a half a step on him its hopeless

yeah turner's become a really good defensive player. even when indy was struggling late it was hard for the celtics to drive on him.

*checks in on that other game that happened tonight*

pretty inspiring effort by Big Al there at the end to rally and make some plays considering he was apparently ill. he certainly played like it for most of the game and proved again how valuable he is to the C's because defensively they were trash without him at 100% and honestly offensively they mostly just rode Kyrie until the early 4th.

yeah horf def didnt look like himself

it will be interesting to see how the celtics play in a series vs a team with good players on it

such disrespect for bojan

it will be interesting to see how the bucks play in a series vs a team with good players on it

i mean its the first round of the playoffs folks

are you sure about this

time for a new conspiracy theory

hear me out on this - what if what we've been told was the "regular season" this whole time was actually the first round of the playoffs

...fuck

Joel out for tonights game...

He’s afraid of Jarrett Allen

Greg Monroe is a waste of life.

Put McConnell on stilts and giant three-piece suit at the five.

lol

dereck white doin stuff

Caris LeVert is having the game of his life

ah as soon az i turn from
that one nets make a rin

levert seems like an obvious candidate to break out huge next season

Coulda been this year if he didn’t have that ankle injury (that could’ve been so much worse)

mvp derrick white

the nuggets have no answer for d white

i would like to invite everyone to search the ilxor message board for posts about derrick white and if it would please the court i have been otm for a very long time about derrick white.

i have been saying all year that he is their 2nd best player and that was mostly derozan subtweeting but honestly he is their best player right now and moving forward

u say these things about every spur tho

but im always right

oh

I drafted d white with the last pick on my fantasy team and everyone said “whomst!?” and then he was a major part of why I won. He needs a different haircut tho imo

hes got a 7 head

its what gives him his big powerful hoops brain

he had to go to a d2 school cause his head too big

crunch time for the spurs you know what that means, midrange from the big two

every minute that derrick white rests on the bench is another minute closer to death

meanwhile in warriors/clippers the officials have called 5 fouls in 2 minutes

gotta set the tone

you — yes YOU — have just been called for a foul during Clippers-Warriors

two shots
