It is the 2018-19 NBA Playoffs discussion thread for hoops friends ONLY

do

brick

well that's a closer score than i thought it would be at the first timeout

embiid is gonna beat the hell out of allen more often than not

i know it's been said a lot but philly's offense is remarkably less than the sum of its parts

i think if you give butler enough rope he'll hang your team, but i admit that's partially just considering him a dipshit

*just me considering

if the sixers can't get past the nets then (shrugs) the playoffs will continue just fine without them.

Sixers just aren’t the type of team to blow people out really.

My Nets

Are there still Boban doubters around

whom would dare doubt boban????????????

People used to think he’d somehow discovered the secret to being insanely productive in a fake way

"fuck you dude you're not really that tall"

*boban stands up and is very tall*

"psh...i guess"

Cascading boos, never change philly fans

Lol

The Nets have a gigantic coaching advantage in this series, huh

*rubs hands like birdman* i bet we'll see a lot of offseason drama in philly...and it's gonna get MESSY

Kenny Atkinson was unsure about preparing for his first playoff series so he googled “playoff preparation comments from Gregg Popovich.”

“I’m not sure how advanced that research is. But I did get some good things.”

lol

xp incredible

I’m already annoyed about this cell phone thing

i guess it's tough when you shoot 12% from three but there didn't seem to be much urgency or effort from the sixers. no wonder the fans were streaming out with four minutes left

nick nurse is definitely a fictional character

just as everyone predicted, the magic had no answer for dj augustin in the first half

Siakam doing crazy things to get to the rim but missing all the layups

the only answer for dj augustin is another dj augustin

magic team is impressive. i didnt really think of them as a worthy adversary for the raps, but they are playing their asses off.

kyle lowry is scoreless, fucking incredible

He’s the real coward

they trade away demar but kyle is out here still being a problem

magic playing them even with a shit game from vucevic is interesting

Amazing that Toronto needs kawhi to basically never miss to maybe win this game

cool game

augustin mvp

Djaaaaaayyyyy

Who could’ve guessed fit issues for philly and Lowry issues for Toronto

This is truly a banner day for the Charlotte Bobcats

(Even though I still haven’t forgiven them for taking DJ over Brook Lopez).

The Dwight Howard trade happened seven (7) years ago and the Magic have won their first playoff game before the Lakers did.

magic screwing over the lakers again!

congrats to markelle fultz for winning more playoff games than ben simmons

wait the lakers haven’t won a playoff game in 7 years??

lou has some legitimate complaints here imi

o

xp yep. 1-4 loss to OKC in 2012. they made the playoffs in 2013 but got swept by the spurs.

2012 was a 2nd rd loss

been out all day and catching up--can anyone tell me what exactly tobias harris was doing for 41 minutes in the first game?

wearing a headband

he was a total non-factor
