The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

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

ok must be something else did u check the uhh history of tripping guys

Congrats to Bill Simmons, the Barstool guy, Dana White, Mark Wahlberg, etc.

oh come on frogs

besides is donnie wahlberg whos the celtics superfan

Thanks I forgot about him

marky prob roots for the lakers

or only watches mma

Mark is exclusively a Jimmy Butler fan

Shittiest thing about this is being a nervous wreck for 5 straight days only to have both close out games go exactly how you feared

celtics were better this series but i think its pretty clear that the bucks wouldve been the best team in the offs if they had middleton, and hey they get to do it again next year with some upgrades even

Lol c'mon dogg be real

wow maybe you just dont know the mind of marky

Yeah hope they don’t just sit on their hands during the off season they desperately need shooters

Oh well we still won it last year so I’m good, non-sarcastic congrats to Tracer and the other Boston bros

Also let’s be real, Bucks should have lost Game 5 so this shouldn’t even have gone this far

yeah i mean the celtics outplayed them this series they were decently ahead in points before tonight but obv u got to win the games

sundays are for the bois

that chain what a mook i love it

hmm looks like a yellow court idk

bucks fo should take some heat for the shitty supporting cast

As someone on this thread (Jord?) mentioned the problem with having a good starter out isn’t so much starting a bench guy as it is having to replace that bench guy. I mean:

The Bucks guard not named Jrue Holiday today:

6 PTS
2-17 FG
0-12 3P

i honestly dont think theyre that bad everyone was being asked to step up a level with middleton out and the bucks just couldnt generate good shots for them

i mean it happened to jrue too he missed a million shots over the series

Sucks cuz Greyson & Hill might’ve actually played well against Miami

having said that yeah they should be looking to upgrade the backcourt

gianns 1st ever 200p/100r/50a series

i hear james harden might be available xp

a change of scenery might do him good

xp playoff series counting stats are dumb because if you're too good you get fewer

its still good tho
