The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

lol the refs giving marcus three shots now

they've changed the rules since game 3 i guess

or whichever game that was

not the prettiest first half i’ve ever seen

never seen a pretty game seven

its about what i expected for a game 7 with these teams

every game in the series has been like a game seven, making this a super game seven

Giannis got all ball too, just a horrible call all around

these playoffs already feel like they've lasted 10,000 years

i call it a game eight xp

giannis with 17-12-7 my god

could have felt a lot longer if the nets hadnt rolled over and died

Alright Milwaukee time to revert to the mean for once in this series

rest assured connaughton will definitely hit some extremely annoying threes

honestly if he had any defense he'd be a pretty dece player

what if patty c comes out for the second half in a celtics uniform, just sayin, hes from arlington

Alright Tracer we’re in this together now

mark jackson has called grant williams grant hill like 20 times this series

12

so many times this series the celtics have set a screen for tatum when graysons on him, thats gotta be an iso

that time tehy realized and backed off, probably just not used to them throwing a bad defender at tatum from the start of the play

Can’t believe I actually got my hopes up in the 1st quarter lol

grayson actually has the best +/- on the bucks right now somehow

13

Horseshit officiating too

gonna agree with you there…

Ok that was a bad call on Tatum

14

Giannis is gonna put up like 45/15, Bucks are still gonna fall because they’ll shoot 18% from 3 and leave Hill in for way too long. That’s my prediction anyway

Yeah turns out I overestimated their shooting abilities

Oh they finally made one. It immediately got waved off on an off the ball incidental play

Celtics play is absurd right now

Celtics have gotten huge games this series from Tatum, Brown, Smart, Horford, and now Williams. Bucks have gotten them from….Giannis

man i love jrue so much. quality baller

had to step away right when tatum got his 4th waht happened

very loud arena

grayson actually has the best +/- on the bucks right now somehow

My cherry picked worst prediction from my NBA player model this post-season was Grayson Allen averaging 16.4 pts. in this series.

gotta give the computer a talking to upload some pictures of his face

I continue to respect Giannis’ ability to ball even when his team has completely collapsed around him.

tatum’s 4th was called an offensive foul, a stray elbow to connaughton’s face when going to the rim, could have gone either way. stan van thought connaughton actually grabbed at tatum just before.

allen/connaughton/matthews: 63 minutes, 1-for-14 (0-for-10) FG, one assist, three turnovers, four points

Another missed layup for Giannis, another made 3 for Williams. Congrats Tracer

look i just did what anyone would do

the flaw with the leaving grant williams open strategy is he shot hold on 41% from 3 this year

a lot of thats because he mostly takes corner 3s but still yeah
