The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

these series can flip so quickly. teams can figure stuff out and win 4 out of 5 or whatever (the mavs just did this)

yeah absolutely, and i wld be totally unsurprised if the celtics won, but just as far as the averages and so forth being ahead a game and healthier is nice

xp yeah i take less and less from game 1s. it feels like coaching adjustments are becoming relatively more impactful and homecourt less so

timelord’s got this kinda cute cuddly shaggy dog look about him but everything he does on the court is with extreme force. great combo.

yeah he floats along and then strikes without warning

the clear difference in the series for me is that the heat are going to need to be carried by butler whereas the celtics have at least 2 guys and generally a deeper roster to rely on in terms of scoring. what happened in game 1 doesn’t change that for me but it’s also possible the heat’s defense gives them enough for butler to indeed carry them

with marcus and horf i feel confident they could contain jimmy and herro enough to win, watching theis in the drop was rough last night i mean i like theis hes a good player but that was not what they needed they need to be up switching blowing up that action at the point of attack which is what theyve done all year

that action being the high pick and roll if that was unclear

I missed the second half and was like ... the Heat won?

with boban!

must've forgotten that he isn't playing cp3 anymore

lol

having his nice little bear

beer

beer say hi to me

aw, wonder if luka can speak enough serbo-croatian to talk to boban in it, or if they just talk to each other in english

im doing some research and many but not all sources are saying he speaks serbian as well as spanish english and his native tongue slovenian

also slovenian and serbian are somewhat mutually intelligible so it wouldnt be too hard for him to learn, at the end of the day i think luka just goes ahead and learns serbian he prob had to speak it on some teams or whatever nbd

ha, truly a man of the world

finding it more difficult to get bobans languages theres one piece that mentions he speaks spanish, guess him and luka got it from playing in spain, and we know he speaks english and serbian but not sure what else

every european knows every european language, this is what i believe

some of the more centrally located countries its kinda true, northern europeans speak perfect english, southern europeans only speak the language of their countries which happen to also be the best places

idk what goes on in eastern europe thats none of my business

is serbia even in europe they're not in the EU it could be anywhere

who knows anything about that whole area its like a crazy quilt so cut up its practically balkanized

Out of the remaining players in the playoffs, Luka Doncic is top 2 in PPG, RPG, APG, and SPG. pic.twitter.com/n5kxWquJvw

i hope luka has a beer while on the bench

just turned it on first thing i see is wiggins make luka pass it out of the post

Curry has the yips

if they can hold dallas to 18 points a quarter it shouldnt be a problem

Wiggins does a good job on luka fwiw.

gonna need to see more evidence

Would be cool if the splash bros could shoot

spencer mad

spencer dinwiddie is such a ridiculous name, childrens book ass name

It’s so good haha

im not gonna lie its sounds amazing but i cant respect it as a name for a real person

NBA dudes have the best names

too short halftime, very nice

would be an all-time great joke if the length of that halftime show table got shorter by 3 inches each broadcast

haven't giggled at a barkley line in awhile but "we should just shut up and listen to too short" got me

hes not wrong
