The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

embiid 0-5 so far

not great injuries are bad

praising an nba player for being a "solid backup" is like praising your lover for being a "good conversationalist".

Thad Young out there

I feel like that was a pretty good half given Embiid's play and the Raptors played pretty well.

Cool how in every nba playoff game a significant player gets injured

Embiid trying to do too much out there with these passes to make up for the fact that he can't put the ball on the floor.

More injuries!

wow i thought mobley had kinda run away w it

close vote!

PLAYER, TEAM 1ST 2ND 3RD TOT
Scottie Barnes, TOR 48 43 9 378
Evan Mobley, CLE 43 46 10 363
C. Cunningham, DET 9 10 78 153

Crazy

mobley got banged up in the second half and the cavs sank in the standings, meanwhile the raptors went in the other direction. there wasn’t really a wrong pick

spero dedes & grant hill is one of my fav crews

theyre both Cool Calm Collected

rudy all over the offensive glass here

(lebron james kid voice) luka doncic

woww

really weird the mavs didn’t advance the ball

I think they didn’t have a TO? Not sure why the clock stopped, that was confusing

nah they called one

that was basically the exact shot dinwiddie made to beat the nets in brooklyn a few weeks ago. teams are gonna have to start preparing for the late double team in those situations, seems like the go to defensive strategy now

xp If that’s right then yeah, that’s inexplicable

either way, feels like the Jazz dodged a bullet there, between that and Powell missing those FTs

A bunch of people saying Dallas had no timeouts left. They called a TO after the Gobert dunk. They could have advanced it then.

The broadcast was saying they had no timeouts as they brought it up, because they had none left then.

But they 100% could have advanced after the TO. https://t.co/ylf8Vv9ceJ

been a lot of good games so far

true

Powell disrupted his free throw routine between attempts way too much

he just looked nervous. can’t blame him i guess. tough bcuz they really only needed one.

it’s hysterical watching luka play with a leg injury, like he is driving to the basket at a walking pace almost. i feel like they could put him in a motorized scooter and he would still get into the paint and hit a spinning fadeaway

rudy revenge game

noticed that too he was standing sideways on the line looking like a lost child, came about as close as you can to hitting the first one tho, rough stuff

yeah and the second one looked bad coming out of his hand

bruce brown has been really good…

tatums here

kyrie with a take foul in the penalty lol

rob williams sighting!

fan favorite robert "rob" "timelord" williams is back

Good to see him out there!

love rob robs our guy

8 shots for KD and kyrie. 12 by the rest of the team

seems like theyre making an effort to play better offense

spike lee at the game decked out in brooklyn dodgers gear lol

should’ve been a continuation on the timelord alley oop… bring back liberal continuation

Simmo is literally dressed like a clown on the bench

nets have no answer for payton pritchard
