^ v plausible bracket

that's like straight chalk tho isn't it?

I feel like the cavs won't make the finals

i still think they will but it will be much more challenging than in the past couple years

i dont believe in upsets in the offs.

playoffs bron will emerge from his cocoon

injuries can foster upsets and 5s can beat 4s w/o it being an upset. but with a 7 game series, the 1-8, 2-7, and 3-6 usually go according to form.

true, but for me, clips v jazz is a unique case bc of all the clips' injuries during the season. i think theyre going to beat the jazz handily. (would like to be proven wrong tho). that wizards/atl series im less confident in my pick bc atl has some dece playoff experience and also defense is at a premium? but wall is the best player in this series.

The cavs feel like robin givens era mike Tyson looking for their buster Douglas

Lol

KLove looks bad in this Game 1. Wanders around a bit. Stands on his spot waiting for a pass. Doesn't get the ball out of his hands fast enough. Bad.

jr has also been pretty ineffective

the bron james does it again

pacers offense same as it ever was

^ macmillan's feet firmly planted in 2002

I'm annoyed by that play where they pacers choked away the 5 on 4 off the Lebron flop

Oh my that Giannis dunk

Yes otm xp! Just finished why didn't they just GO

lance looked good!

I think scouts are gonna regret talking themselves out of Thon Maker

Toronto 1-10 all time in game 1s. Incredible stat.

i'm a bucks fan now

I think Giannis could never shoot a shot outside 15 feet the rest of his career and get multiple MVPs

they were like 17-7 or something after middleton came back. real team

good to see playoffs lowry is back

lol so true

i really almost picked that as an upset i'm mad i didn't now

rip spurs

n/m

lowry has the lowest playoff fg% of all time

Did Lowry ever really look like he was back or is he maybe playing hurt here

People talk about ugly jump shots but Kawhi's is the unlikeliest good shot to me. It looks like he's pulling the string 80% of the time.

feels like griz havent scored since half time

everyone see how my mans wrecked on em tonight? <3333

uh gobert out with a knee injury first possession

it does not look good

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

i think the jazz announcer is gonna cry

Jazz say Rudy Gobert has a left knee sprain and won't return to Game 1

quinn snyder sounds like a stoner or a surfer dude or something

jazz looking like the spurs damn

sick sequence from cp3

iso joe hitting game winners in the 16-17 playoffs is pretty wild

Jazzzzzzz. Lowry and B Griffin are bad at playoffs.

Gobert has a hyperextension and a bone bruise, I imagine he will be taking a lot of Advil and playing at some point in the series

MRI done already?

Oh just read it. I dunno if he comes back this series tbf. Would be tough to

I don't know what's going on out there, it looks like Nurkic is gonna play on a broken leg

yeah just started, he was the first one out lol

the field is preposterously stacked btw

lol one wld expect

busting out first and then hellmuth taking your seat is some extreme insult to injury

i saw a photo of cp3 at a poker table recently, if there's one NBA dude who could be a solid player it's def him

that call is a lot more reasonable at the start of the tourney tho

frees up your day i guess

he seemed pretty tilted lol

lol hellmuth despite regularly crushing tourneys that arent primarily stacked with the best players cant stay away from elite games just cause he has a chip on his shoulder

kevin hart is playing every hand

lol ok im going outside

he likes to limp haha

hart is a pretty standard bad home game type player from what i can tell

he's not horrendous but his level of play is definitely very basic

hellmuth about to get coolered

hellmuth getting mad at hart now god is good

*immediately puts it back on*

thread got weird

no basketball for a week will do that

let's not lose sight of what it's all about

feel like talk radio has been dominated by jordan vs lebron debates 24hr/day since the conference finals

that's cleveland talk radio obv but also a lot of national shows

that debate is always the fallback and i couldnt be more tired of it

they shd just get it over with and bone

btw kevin hart busted hellmuth w/ set over set, slow rolled him, then announced to the rest of the tables that he busted him

haw shit
