The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

kawhi's career is almost indescribably weird xp lol

raptors up 17

the amount of times kd has just coughed up the ball at the slightest double so far this series is weird

refs decided this game was getting too cool

someone needs to do a study on the currys hands or something how are they all this good at shooting it makes no sense

sloppy stuff

lol kd misses two fts and they cut to him mom in the stands

this quarter is chaos

patty mills is like the 9th most important player on this nets team, it turns out

celtics tie the game with tatum playing like jared tatum (some other guy)

The 6 leading scorers in this game: Bruce Brown, Grant Williams, Kevin Durant, Goran Dragic, Al Horford, Daniel Theis.

The energy and effort of the Rap's defense is really amazing

when celtics are driving and kicking aka way theyve won all year theyre getting perfect looks, and yet

that simmons scouting report is insane

lol yeah they got him

all of the east teams who are playing well Im like, we’ll they’re in the east

some high level basketball being played tonight

what happened the last time the champion of the eastern conference played the champion of the western conference?

lmao

whole team about to jump him if he got ejected pic.twitter.com/xUv9yXWWW4

kyrie is playing like butt

has KD lost the feeling in his fingers

i wonder what the heck happened. danny green doesn't seem like someone who would get heated for no reason.

The refing has been a little questionable to say the least.

[lebron james kid voice] jayson tatum

jayson tatum

Durant missing those is an utter disaster

given that bruce brown and dragic were the best nets players tonight by a wide margin it’s remarkable the game was even this close

tatum and brown were bad too is why

celtics vibes are off the charts

lmao marcus and jaylen communing with marcus left hand

they're playing incredible ball and they're very fun, it's hard not to love the celtics! weird!

theyre lovable everyone get on board choo choo

absolute balls of steel from the celtics to win that one

i think the balls of steel were being shot by the nets, actually

lol

that brown & smart is one for the '100 photos' thread. lol!

well ultimately the game was always going to come down to KD vs Payton Pritchard in crunch time

felt like those two games were a great encapsulation of the entire debate surrounding the nets. game 1 kyrie almost singlehandedly wins them the game, game 2 he & KD are so tired they essentially literally cannot make a shot and they piss the lead away. in the end, they just don’t have enough.

yeah

both of them having to play 40mins a game for the last month just to make the play in cant be helping right now

congrats to payton for finding some minutes if he can avoid being totally victimized on d they can def use his offense, celtics really should be destroying the nets d tho regardless and so far theyre not

drawing nets --> bucks --> [other east bracket winner] --> [western conf champ] is a truly brutal path

the nets are capable of playing good defense but they're not built to do it for 48 minutes, i mean the core problem for them is they're not a normal basketball team

harden with five fouls is he trying to play defense or something haha

It's been a pretty rough game all around.

This game is right there for the Sixers' taking, but they don't seem sure they want it, lol.

ridiculous shot joel embiid
