The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

both these teams are gassed

It's been more like a brawl - 3s, fouls, and turnovers.

feels like precious might’ve wanted to hit one of those FTs

wouldve been better

crazy philly didnt get their first lead til ot

maxeys the only one with any juice left

It's Lillard Time, except there's no Lillard.

Bucks getting demolished at home wow

joel hit three shots down the stretch that he had no business with, can only tip your cap

maybe the best player theory applies to overtime

not feeling too great about my raptors in six pick

That might be the first end of game playoff situation I can recall going in the Sixers favor in the Embiid era.

you def need a guy who can go get a shot which most playoff teams have but the raps do not

didnt see the Bucks going down 18 in this one

we still dont know if the bucks are good

hard to tell with Middleton completely disappearing for a second game in a row

needs to save that for the second round

practice makes perfect

Bucks do this every year and one year they did it and won the title

ideally the Bucks would want someone to pick up the slack when Giannis isn't playing well but it just affects the whole team when he's off

though I will say he seems to be coming alive now

sheesh this Bulls lineup is uh...not good

kyrie ready to go on vacation already

Kyrie Irving says the timing is right for the Celtics to be contending and "the window is now for these guys." Praised Ime Udoka and especially Brad Stevens as the new President.

was wondering if he wants to have to make another trip to boston lol

fwiw his last season in boston he had amazing first game in the 2nd round vs the bucks then dogged it in four straight losses and never looked back, he has a player option next year

Lol Kyrie holy shit

god damn Giannis balls out like crazy to get em close and the Bucks immediately give up an 11-0 run

oh 13-0

I’m happy for Demar

cool Portis and Middleton both injured

fucking hellllllllll what a horrorshow of a game

bucks not looking real sharp

jrue had a decent look for a three when they really couldve used one and just had no intention of shooting dumped it inside to a doubled giannis

Yeah because he had that same look a minute prior and bricked it badly

that was a pretty bad brick tbf but still the bucks need him to take the shot

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer tells reporters that Khris Middleton sprained his MCL and will have an MRI on Thursday.

This is what Kyrie sounded like when he was tanking playoff games in Milwaukee during his last year here 😭 https://t.co/WVycnhFpbD
