The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

Yah they match up well but they haven’t played a whole warriors team

Then again no one but the nuggets have

greg monroe in this game

Not so long ago Monroe was playing for the Capitol City Go-Go.

Just found out about the Embiid news. Fuck Siakam. Dude got smoked by his one handed countryman and couldn't deal.

I'm trying to imagine if everyone would be that chill if say Tatum got raked directly in the face by a Morris bros. intentionally or whatever and was out. Maybe we'll get to see it.

i mean again, if that was intentional, it was the absolute perfect intersection of impact and plausible deniability

Look at the video - he's gives Embiid a look and the elbow immediately lands. It's also a weird motion with his arms if he's trying to shoot the basketball.

I mean the Raptors announcer immediately said, "You get what you deserve." What, from an accident?

Whatever, I'm not having this conversation now. Peace.

I miss Tom Gugliotta

bless

with respect, and i'm not at all discounting the possibility that it was intentional--the canadian homer team announcers are not evidence of anything

this is such a chaotic matchup feels like anything could happen in this game

I love this series everything about it

its good

I mean who knows Dylon Brooks could have 20

Extreme feast or famine w that guy.

dillon brooks thinks dillon brooks could have 40

Love how every game has another rando stepping up

Has Steven Adam’s played a minut since game 1?

he got a few minutes

btw the lad has been unbelievable props to the lad

That lefty finish was so sick

Spree!

dude this game

So gooood

crazy stuff

Brandon Clarke just jumps as high as he can and decides what he might do w the ball at the apex. No plan when he takes off

That kat shot yikes

jas motor is insane why isnt he tired

That ja shot yikes

jas motor is insane why isnt he tired

Ah man cmon we need a game 7

yeah thats too bad

What’s the rush

Warriors will get the Grizzlies in the second round. Game 1 is on Sunday afternoon in Memphis. Forty hours from now. Grizzlies have to fly home from Minnesota. Warriors have a morning practice and flight from SF to Memphis tomorrow. Not much prep time for either side.

no games tonight, I need the games

where the games at

well...it's over. it's funny, if you told me prior to the season we win 46 games and lose to the grizzlies in 6 i would have thought you were crazy. but the way in unfolded, especially the game 3 meltdown, it's little frustrating because there were moment they had this series they are just couldn't close the deal.

all that said i'm going nuts over these stupid sports cucks on MN twitter who literally just watched two NBA games all season and are acting like a 7 that won 23 games last year is another "Minnesota sports curse"

was really a fun, ride most fun since the KG era (the Butler year we obviously were good but it was never fun, felt like a military forced march into a brick wall)...also there's no reason not to have hope for the future. roster needs work but we have 2 foundational pieces (I was boosting him this season but I think I've seen enough of Dlo) and some interesting role players

and THE LAD! we have a player that really inspires people, who makes you feel good and want to tune in, it's been a long time. Love def had some great seasons but he's not like that. KAT isn't really like that despite how dominant he can be. Just some real basketball joy which has been hard to come by around here.

Overall, I think Memphis is a better team so I can't be too mad, though they really did leave the door wide open for the Wolves.

No Games Scheduled

major error by the league here cmon its saturday

yeah great season for the wolves they def have something to build on, feel like as the lad matures him and kat should settle into natural complimentary 1-2 scoring roles, dlo is def a problem he doesnt defend and has subpar playmaking skills they really need a more all around guy for their number 3 if they can trade him that would be very good and resigning him could be disastrous, overall their roster is pretty soft they need more defense size athleticism good stuff like that

good summary UMS. you’ve got the guy who’s a no doubt keeper and that’s the most important thing. definitely a season to celebrate.

bucks offense with middleton was bad against the shitty bulls d theyre gonna need giannis to go absolutely thermonuclear vs the celtics or hit a bunch of 3s or something

that series could be a major slog baby

I give the bucks about a 20% chance to win w out Middleton.

yeah something like that

D lo is a classic 82 game player, as they say, not a 16 game player. That Wiggins+ a pick (Kuminga) trade is looking like highway robbery but if it kept kat there then I guess it was worth it?

Really cool wolves season overall. Plenty to look forward to for sure.

"No NBA" is trending. rip NBA it was fun while it lasted

Middleton is really great especially vs. the Celtics but the team does play pretty well without him on the court, especially defensively. The problem is it’s gonna be like those Warriors/Cavs finals where the Bucks may have the best player but of the 10 best guys the Celtics have like 7 of them

yeah and also while the normal middleton lineups with patty c instead might be fine youre gonna end up giving minutes to deeper bench guys than you really want to or just play yr main guys too much
