The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

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

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.

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

not sure mike brown is a very good coach…

remember how he had different glasses to mach each of his suits lol

hate to say it but the grizz just need to cut ja

ja to celtics for payton pritchard who says no

brooks is a goon whats up w that guy

just a dude who sucks is how i break it down

seems like it

dubs trying showtime passes that are just not working

they need to understand that theyre not that team anymore

not a fan of challenges as a resource there should be 0 or too many

Man curry is not sharp at all and all these dumb turnovers are killing me man alive

The arrogance to keep trying these home runs

every two klay takes is a really tough mid range fadeaway

Curry 4/17 feels like we’re yet to see a curry flurry in these playoffs

4-17 for Curry tonight. Since the first month of the season, he just hasn't made the same 3s he has throughout his career. And if he's not a 40% shooter on those shots, he's not capable of leading a team to a championship.

the steph games were jordan poole in the first two nuggets games

Wonder if he hates the new ball

Cos it’s not like the shots are getting harder. His stats on open shots are atrocious (for him)

that entire possession was insane

Looney is warrior royalty as far as I’m concerned

that didn’t take long

looney 4-22-5 one of the crazier lines i’ve seen in a while

LOONEY. That’s the post

Unreal. Every rebound he got was important too

70 rebounds!

The Warriors had 70 rebounds tonight to close out the Grizzlies. That's an NBA high for rebounds by any team in any game this season. Kevon Looney had 21, Draymond Green had 15, Andrew Wiggins had 11. They had 45 defensive rebounds and 25 offensive rebounds. Wild.

…and the first time a team has gobbled up 70 rebounds in a playoff game since 1983.

theyre crazy for rebounds cant get enough of em

I'm assuming that's because the small, shooting lineups pressured Memphis to go small too and having so many shooters meant that the Dubs could crash the offensive glass more?

I just saw Brooks cheap shotting Curry, just as I was starting to feel a little bad for the guy.

Didn't finish that thought: more defenders on the perimeter meant the key was open.
