ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

griz folded once ja went out

beast of a game from AD

the grizz are very light on shot creation

I'm officially on board the "let the Lakers take out those cocky bastards, then fade quietly away" train. jjj was really impressive in this game, but he'll just have to take the loss for the good of humanity.

Sadly this is exactly how I expected Milwaukee to come out in Game 1

Hmmm 14 point deficit and Giannis hurt. Glad I planned my day around this

jrue, middleton & giannis all have 2 fouls, giannis is hurt. this one is in must win territory for the heat

Ja Morant says his status for Game 2 is “in jeopardy.” He was downtrodden and not even able to use his right hand to undo a balled-up pair of socks. “Feels like it’s one thing after another.”

Thank god he’s still out there

Ah fuck he’s gone again

Wild how Milwaukees 3% goes down 20 points the moment the playoffs start

Aaaand Giannis ruled out for the game

yikes

24 on 11-17 shooting in the first half for butler

Absolute fucking disaster, just hope Giannis is ok for game 2 :/

herros a true hoister folded in half with a fucked up shooting hand still hits a 3

58% to 15% on 3s, was expecting that vs. the Celtics but not here

Oh shit broken hand for Herro

Oh shit broken hand for Herro

wtf why is everyone getting injured everyone chill ffs. hopefully giannis is just a butt stinger. the heat wont make much noise w/out their 3rd best player.

they gave themselves a head start today and might be able to hold on but the heat won’t have enough ability to score with herro out for the series

ja giannis and herro all down today yikes

after breaking his hand herro made a three pointer because he was writhing in pain in the corner and the bucks stopped guarding him. but with the shot clock winding down gabe vincent passed him the ball anyway and herro swished it. then he immediately went back to writhing in pain. so shoutout to him

legendary shot really

Oh come on that should not be a technical on Butler

playoff basketball is really stressful

This officiating is a disaster

Damn it was within 3 too :/

Holy fuck Milwaukee stop fouling

so… how hurt is giannis?

it didnt look that bad i mean he came back in but who knows a back injury is not really what you want

Curry fractured his tailbone a couple years back and missed time. A bruise would be ideal and then just whatever level of pain he can handle. And Giannis played through that knee thing a couple years back in the finals.

looked like he landed flat on his lower back than on his tailbone which seems like is usually more of a sitting down type motion

Bucks’ superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo (lower back contusion) will not return to Game 1 of Bucks-Heat, per @ShamsCharania.

Giannis sustained the injury on this collision with Kevin Love in the 1st quarter 🤕pic.twitter.com/ep8RFTvVfD

So I think the fact that he came back twice before being ruled out is probably a good sign, had he broken something I don’t think he’d be able to run at all

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer says Giannis Antetokounmpo had an X-ray that came back "clear"

"We’ll monitor him and see how he wakes up tomorrow"

I kinda love how every team has major flaws.

not the celtics they are perfect and nice

Was actually gonna say besides the Celtics but didn’t want to put wind in your sail

too late!

bucks are pretty solid too tbf

god the first suns possession of 2Q was one of the ugliest I’ve seen all year

russ shooting 49/36 w the clips wow

feel like more of the series than usual have been giving me serious cognitive dissonance. I would much prefer the clippers win but I just like the suns collection of players so much more

really don’t think my heart can take cp3 losing to russ

durant losing to russ wld be funny considering the suns incinerated their future for him and the clips got russ for nothing

ffs k3v

This game is not the beautiful game

Westbrook stop shooting challenge

neither of these teams please me

the beautiful yet ugly game
