The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

feels like the bucks can basically only score in transition

basically

Milwaukees best offense this series has often been Boston’s offense

right. brown and tatum started hoisting indiscriminately

just happened again on that giannis and 1

egregious giannis travel there

there’s this weird game show quality to these bang bang calls now bcuz the crowd eggs on the coach to challenge and you can see him debating it internally in his head trying not to screw up. it reminds me of price is right when someone is trying to like decide how much a box of cereal costs and if they get it wrong they don’t win a new kitchen.

yeah the announcers just plowed right thru that one lol

if the rim was an inch wider the Bucks would have like 40 more points

ok that 100% should be overturned

rude to challenge imo

wtf why is twitter so far ahead of me

just came back from commercial here and i was seeing overturned tweets a minute ago

its cause if you have the league pass you saw the announcement while tv ppl were watching commercials

giannis hit his fts keeping the bucks in this

i don’t think george hill guarding tatum is going to go well for the bucks

xp ahh thank you. and yes, giannis free throw variance is massive in this one.

Celtics are shooting 90% on circus shots, it's so fucking frustrating

lack of weakside rim protection from rob has been letting the bucks get a lot of cheap shit at the rim

this guy jayson tatum

he’s going off

thats our guy jayson tatum

Giannis now has the first 40/20 game since Shaq did it in 2001

giannis contested corner 3 idk

that got fucked up by a bad pass, he was not supposed to be that deep in the corner

this series reminds me of nets-bucks last year except the bucks are the nets this time. giannis basically needs to be beyond superhuman to win games

stauskas

the game is ending as we all expected, with nik stauskas shooting some free throws

its stauskas

omg bucks stop with the fullcourt press. people need to get to their cars.

lol

great series

i welcome one more game of this utterly brutal series lol

yeah, as much as this is stressful enough that i can only handle second halves the basketball has been incredible.

crazy theyve gone every other with the wins

heat getting four days off before the ECF

also each team only has one home win

great point--i wonder how many series have had this pattern because it definitely seems unusual

yeah its def weird

Bucks-Celtics in the 21st series in NBA history where the teams alternated wins through each of the first six games. The team that won Game 6 has gone 6-14 in Game 7, although just five of those were at home (3-2 home, 3-12 away). The last one: Hawks-Pacers in 2014.

so five ever with the every other / more road wins pattern, tho maybe some of the series were 2-3-2 so idk

lmao trying to concentrate to figure out the price of a toaster while your husband screams inaudibly among hundreds of other ppl holding up 3 fingers on one hand and 2 on the other and you can’t tell if he’s saying 32 23 or 5

lol

players goading their coaches into awful challenges is a good running gag like why are you listening to them theyre clearly insane

klay hitting shots

the nba, where we call 45 fouls per game and each coach gets exactly one (1) challenge

feel like theyll give em more theyre just easing into it

lmao that curry travel

mike brown really riding the draymond-looney line up which forces the warriors play 3 on 5 on offense

kuminga getting zero minutes is a travesty

griz playing fast here good stuff
