The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

nash is coaching like he has nash on his team

KAT bringing some real manic energy tonight lol

no one is actually going to coach kd or kyrie so it doesn't really matter

otm

when we adopted our cats they were 10 and 12 and i told myself early on, do not expect to be able to change or modify their behavior in any way. they are little old men and will do what they want. that's kd and kyrie.

does kd hate kyrie yet

1st thing kyrie said when nash got hired was they dont need a coach

lol kat out there mean mugging

towns is definitely _making an effort_ to be engaged and aggressive early

weird guy

this Andy Samburg Corona commercial keeps reminding me that he's married to Joanna Newsom which just does not compute in my head

Hey another horrible injury

non contact

that was really weird

hes alright?

weird

maybe he felt something and got worried

Very very strange lol

fastest return since the paul pierce poop game

classic

Kyrie Irving says that "being down 3-1 in the Finals (in 2016) was a totally different situation than what we're in right now."

ok I definitely need to see towns try to fight steven adams

*adams dispassionately lifting kat up and handing him to his coach like a crying child*

lol

yeah

KD: “Probably should’ve took more shots…I’ve been thinking too much this whole series to be honest.”

incredible that we will get 100% checked out Kyrie and the return of Simmo on the same night and it's a home elimination game

they should close the nets down forever right after the game try something else idk

the funny thing about the nets is that going into next season simmons with be "healthy" and they'll get some other guy and be betting favorites again so a whole new crop can lose their money

my god desmond bane is out of his mind

got out of the blocks fast

watch the second row, the security guard was putting in detective work pic.twitter.com/09fFb0Zvrd

lol, I wonder if he had had his eye on her for a while

some absurd calls here

griz starters fouls: 6, 5, 5, 4, 5

don't think i've seen that in a non-ot game before

gotta tip the cap to KAT tonight, he was great

ja wasn’t really involved in crunch time and memphis offense looked pretty dicey to me. brooks and bane are really nice players but they feel one creator short to me. some of ja’s layups were unbelievable tho

Extremely weird game from ja. Looked like he wasn’t trying at all tbf or just out there injured as a decoy.

Off a missed free throw what on earth is this Ja Morant sheesh. pic.twitter.com/sBBekWPfPW

KD when guarded by Tatum this series:

10 points
10 turnovers

He’s made only 2 baskets vs Tatum in 3 games. pic.twitter.com/sFEnowHV3m

he did have 15 assists and 8 rebounds not a great shooting game tho

He just didn’t look like himself out there maybe the foul trouble had him out of sorts

yeah i only kinda watched the first half so idk

something seems off physically with him.

Jordan Clarkson really looks like he is in Bone Thugs n Harmony

kat has a lot of jameis winston energy to him. him finding him hard to root for.

lol xp its true

Kyrie: "I don't wanna be cliche but I don't know how you make up time from October to now."
