The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

to say the grizz needed that one feels like a massive understatement. i don’t think the warriors are gonna shoot 18% from three in any game at home

Xp, yeah, it didn't at all look like a foul to me but the announcers were saying he shoved him and Draymond didn't protest much so I assumed there was another angle they weren't showing

thats just a loose ball play that goes uncalled 99% of the time

the one major concern going forward for the warriors has to be how they defend one on one with their guards. they should be able to overcome it in this series just having to stop ja but when you have to find two guys out of steph, klay and poole to guard paul and booker, idk

wiggins will guard cp most likely if they get there

dray looked pretty pissed i think he prob knew he just couldn’t pick up a tech at that point in the game xp

yeah

Still pissed about the injury to GPII. What a journey to get the 15th roster spot after years of trying and then over the season become a key rotation player. And a joy to watch.

Love JJ

podcasters gotta stand up for each other

jj getting heated lol

i still cant figure out why espn has this budget skip bayless wannabe guy on

lotta hours to fill

for the ridiculous sports version of "some of my best friends are black" this heel doesn't even bring up jordan and magic, he has to go back to Walt Frazier and Willis Reed, jfc

yeah who is that guy lol? skip crossed with bernie madoff

i was really impressed by JJ’s color commentary i hope for everyone’s sake they move him off morning debate shouting and onto game broadcasts next season. maybe if mark jackson gets hired by the kings a spot will open up

oh that guy is “mad dog.” hmmm

Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, in fairness he's been a huge sports talk piece of shit since the 80s, worked with Don Imus and Mike Francesa

I was gonna say, he might be racist, but he’s not a wanna be Skip Bayless.

I'd bet his politics are way worse than Skip's

lol the mad dog did not realize that was him looks like he got a makeover sports radio is truly a fuckin pit

i do fwiw think the draymond has to periodically do boneheaded shit in order to play good mythology is not something that has helped him as a player

i dont know mad dog and i dont care to

bro you dont know mike and the freakin mad dog cmon

This so much, love his energy and hustle and fearlessness.

real west coast privilege being exercised over here

The one silver lining to last night's game is that it took a heroic effort from Ja and completely frozen shooting from the Warriors for the Griz to win by 5 in Memphis. Sorry for the basic take btw.

yeah the dubs played/shot about as bad on offense as they can play and i dont think it was due to mem defense.

its true. but also i dont care about sports radio and never really have.

Favorite Mike and the Mad Dog story:

A few years ago, circumstances (Knicks-Pacers, conference finals in Indianapolis, Francesa’s hotel room not ready) placed the two of them for an hour or so in a hotel room together—a rare occurrence. (When they are on the road, they often stay in separate hotels. “I always stay in the best hotel,” Francesa told me.) Chris Carlin, their producer at the time, who now has a show of his own on WFAN, walked in to find them watching “The Horse Whisperer.” Carlin started to speak, but they shushed him; on the TV screen Robert Redford was breaking up with Kristin Scott Thomas. When the scene was over, Russo said, solemnly, “Mikey, he had to do it, he had to do it.”

“It was the right move, Dog,” Francesa replied. “The right move.”

lmaoooo

lol

hahah that rules

funny how after the Warriors won Game 1 my takeaway was "the Grizz may have a chance" but after losing Game 2 it's "no they actually don't"

lolllll but damn fellas way to spoil the movie.

lmao that mike and dog story is incredible

this is what i think every time he touches the ball

Kyle Anderson pump faked in the corner with no one defending him and then just walked to the rim. It's like there's a time bubble around him

Kyle Anderson’s shot loads up like musket

Would hang above my bed with a little sign that said “where dunks happen”

p sure i whispered “mother of god” when he elevated for that dunk

if that’s the one near the end of the half - really was genuinely astonished, as if he’d hit some heretofore unavailable turbo button

oladipo playing some serious defense on harden tonight

james harden is cooked baby rip james harden

he hasnt scored 25 in a game yet this playoffs

this is a man who averaged 34 a game TWO YEARS AGO

my god hes totally going to do it

Still plenty of opportunities for Philadelphia to win the series, but if they don’t, I wonder if Morey starts thinking about trading Maxey/Thybulle/etc for a “guy”
