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

giannis throwing bows at horfs chin smh

brook lopez has weird vibes man

i honestly have no idea how the bucks were as good as they were this year w this roster

part of it i think is a novel scheme that teams didnt really have time to adjust for in the reg season

bucks hitting a lot of jumpers in transition

bucks not really coming out w the energy u wld expect

giannis getting a call every drive smh

refs wilding

terry shd not be allowed to run the point hayward is in the game ffs

he is so bad at doing plays

u gotta do plays in the playoffs

im sayin

i honestly have no idea how the bucks were as good as they were this year w this roster

i think hes a really good coach its just he maxes out his teams in the reg season so theres not much level to raise in the offs

middleton playing like an all star would go a long way...

bucks hitting some tuff shots 2nite

bucks shoot like 80% on contested 3s and 0% on open ones

true

it's crazy the bucks appear to have no real plan for getting giannis the ball inside the 3 point line?

they dont run the pnr???

somehow

they just ran a few with him as the screener but they didn't pass him the ball

middleton-giannis seems like itd be hard to stop?

the bucks are panic hoisting threes like crazy this is wild to watch

when they zoom in on lopez's face after he makes a shot, why does he look angrily confused

jaylen brown is a crazy athlete

giannis in this series has the feel of one of those lebron series before he agreed to learn post moves where the playoffs exposes the one part of his game as a fatal flaw

in giannis case it would be shooting

yeah hes still so young needs to go through that process of polishing a part of his game every offseason

i dont think hell ever be able to shoot tho his form is so trash

yeah exactly xp

kyrie 2/12, bucks throwing in every heave, bucks by 4 at halftime.........

i don't think giannis needs to hit 3s bcuz he's so naturally dominant at the rim but if he could just develop a passable midrange shot it would be much harder to "wall him off"

even if it's just a turnaround kinda thing... or even facing up and just shooting over the defender

last year he was shooting a stepback floater thing but it was bad

damn barkley is making the same points as this thread...

chuck otm lol

even shaq is seeing this

Official Khris Middleton 3-point shooting accuracy update against Celtics in postseason: 63.4 percent

the bucks are playing at a better pace... giannis should just dribble straight up the floor and get to the block before the celtics can set their defense

they're running up the floor even off makes now

Middleton is now 10/13 from 3 in this series. Didn't think he could possibly shoot better than last year but he's proving everyone wrong.

celtics feel like theyre coasting this game same as they did in the indy series

prob not the best idea tbh

kyrie looks stoned man

I'm surprised Brad called a timeout before all five players got to brick threes from the same spot on the court.

unfair to not let everyone get a chance

Marcus and Al have a legit grievance.

Milwaukee finally looking like they give a damn

celtics just fell apart on both ends this quarter
