the simple solution is to pass a local ordinance that makes it impossible for kyrie to play

would assume the bulls celtics and heat would all feel pretty great about their chances of making the ECF if the bucks sixers and nets were all on the other side of the bracket
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 12 March 2022 20:44 (two years ago) link
the funny thing is the heat and celtics might actually be better than those other teams, but just the star power scares you, and of course you dont want to throw the nets into the mix
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 12 March 2022 20:46 (two years ago) link
celtics consistently play the bucks well but yeah i would basically agree with that assessment
― lag∞n, Saturday, 12 March 2022 20:55 (two years ago) link
nets and sixers could both easily implode in the offs, doubt the bucks will, but they just havent been that good this year, at some point if youre going to believe in them youd like them to play good, guess theres still time tho
― lag∞n, Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:02 (two years ago) link
They also haven’t had Brook
― frogbs, Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:07 (two years ago) link
i feel like they should be able to figure it out without him idk but you know who has just not quite played up to his usual standard is middleton
― lag∞n, Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:10 (two years ago) link
well they’re on a 6 game win streak with wins over the heat, bulls, suns, and hawks so it might be happening. if they beat the warriors tonight they may rip off a big run
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:11 (two years ago) link
i do think their team is worse than last year in termsof the talent around their big 3 esp with their bigs i don’t trust a big man coming off a broken back and portis/ibaka is not a championship level center rotation by traditional standards. but they have a lot of ways to beat you at the ends of games which is the benefit of having 3 guys that good. middleton hitting a 3 vs the heat and then jrue making the game winner, middleton killing the suns at the end etc
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:17 (two years ago) link
yeah their supporting cast is a little shaky like i was thinking they should just go small why not but even their small lineup isnt that satisfying
― lag∞n, Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:20 (two years ago) link
Middleton is weird, he's disappointing/invisible for long stretches of the game but will go supernova for like half a quarter
― frogbs, Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:24 (two years ago) link
would be cool to see giannis just go full sicko mode both sides of the ball and drag them through the offs (unless they play the celtics)
― lag∞n, Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:26 (two years ago) link
honestly that feels like what is going to happen.

Bucks definitely have that "not really trying yet" energy
― frogbs, Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:47 (two years ago) link
could be but theres always that thing where he doesnt really want to play his most effective style xp
― lag∞n, Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:48 (two years ago) link
if he can shoot in the low 70s from the line — where he’s at this season — instead of below 60% — where he’s been the last two playoffs — it opens up a world where he can just physically dominate every playoff game
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 12 March 2022 21:58 (two years ago) link
pretty funny how fans counting down his ft clock last playoff helped him improve is routine

Markieff Morris is back and available for the Heat tonight after missing the last four months of games.— Anthony Chiang (@Anthony_Chiang) March 12, 2022

Because of Morris previous neck/spinal injury combined with whiplash, Heat - after not clearing him - then left decision on clearing Morris to NBA's Fitness to Play panel, a mechanism to resolve such issues. NBA ruling that he can play eliminates Heat liability, health concerns— Barry Jackson (@flasportsbuzz) March 12, 2022

― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 12 March 2022 23:42 (two years ago) link
i think it’s forgotten now that the whole thing started because the heat actually got the refs to whistle him for it in game 1 of that series on what was an extremely pivotal free throw. still one of the most confusing moments i can remember watching NBA basketball

bucks trapped steph all game and he finished with 8 points but there are other guys on the team kind of a weird choice
― lag∞n, Sunday, 13 March 2022 03:56 (two years ago) link
the bucks really need connaughton back which isn’t a great place to be in but in terms of a role player who can reasonably play offense and defense their roster provides very few options. they’re way overloaded on wes matthews, jordan nwora, jevon carter minutes & if grayson isn’t hitting threes he kinda isn’t playable in the offs bcuz any skilled guard can roast him every defensive possession
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 13 March 2022 04:12 (two years ago) link
yeah their roster is kind of lacking the solid role players youd like to have on a contender
― lag∞n, Sunday, 13 March 2022 04:20 (two years ago) link
yeah the worry about the bucks is that they're one or two guys short and giannis can't compensate
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 13 March 2022 04:33 (two years ago) link

Yah another thing is the bucks didn’t guard anyone else lol Face guard Steph and uh let’s let klay Poole and wiggs walk into wide open shots all night. Or like dying on one screen.
