The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

actually the rules state that playoff stats accumulated against teams that were under .500 in the second half of the season don’t actually count :[ so unfortunately we must revisit this one after the celtics series

yes, jordan, you'd save matt a lot of time and energy repeating himself if you just stop disagreeing with his opinions

Warriors seem a little off

jokic seems a little on

Bulls fans at the United Center haven't had much to cheer about in their last few playoff series.

0-2 at home vs Bucks 2022
0-3 vs BOS 2017
1-2 vs CLE 2015
2-1 vs MIL 2015
0-3 vs WAS 2014
0-2 vs MIA 2013

3-13 at home last 6 series.

ESPN Sources: The Nets and Ben Simmons expected he would be ready to play on Monday, but after getting on the court yesterday Simmons says he awoke with back soreness today. In the end, the team and Simmons agreed he'll remain out for Game 4.

Just before that final inbound that Rivers intercepted, Jokic was on the side line yelling and making lobbing gestures at his teammates on the floor. I think he spotted the inbound play before it happened and gave Rivers the heads up.

sad clown

that has to be shopped no way

Kerr gets too cute sometimes. Curry and klay were cooking just get the ball in and let them go to work ffs.

That pic is perfect lol

if it was shopped, the artist knew enough to include the reflection of Simmo's shoes on the shiny floor!

A better pass woulda helped too lol.

Reggie otm

Cmon MAN!!! Out for Game 4 when it was rumored you were going to make your debut. This dude has ZERO competitive 🔥.. As small a chance as the Nets have to come back in this series, you still have KD and Kyrie, all you need is to win ONE game and take it from there.. #ManUp pic.twitter.com/Y5smcnQkqZ

yeah not sure why you have porter inbounding there xp

Lmao

This was a common foul btw pic.twitter.com/f87D0GGqkP

feels like there's a chance simmo just never plays again

Dray fouled out xp but iggy is a better passer. Def a little worried about iggy and Porter tho. Neither has looked sharp at all. They’ll be needed at some point.

yeah kinda just have to hope you catch them on a good day at this point

feels like there's a chance simmo just never plays again

this post if full of misinfo it was actually the yin yang twins between quarters but anyway the power of the performance seems to have thrown the hawks off their game

the best thing would be for simmo to play game 4, go like 2/7 from the field and 1/4 from the line for 5 points, then have to hear about it all summer so he can find another excuse not to play next year

some good oladipo minutes tonight

theres a major pundit storm gathering around ben simmons and this nets team in general

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjDBNwQIH6w

36-10 on 12-21 shooting for jimmy tonight

21 assists and 5 turnovers for jimmy in this series while averaging 30.5 ppg

jimmy is good salute to jimmy, heat defense has been just destroying trae too

the hawks offseason will be interesting

they have some things to figure out

i know this is a cliche but they need to get a physical veteran type a la pj tucker or jae crowder. they’re just kind of soft, not speaking in the mental sense just from a strength perspective. they have a lot of young thin players

lol of the 16 playoff teams the only one without a win is...the Nets
