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

Harden is 0/14 and the rox are up 2

doesnt seem like a great sign for the jazz

he got a dunk, high % shot, good choice

have the jazz forgotten that you get a better chance to win when you put the ball into the hoop? so many blown opportunities.

Jazz offense is what we thought it was

raps & magic series is lowkey cursed

only one team in the 2nd round currently...not looking good for the rest of the field

if no one else makes it to the second round the celtics are declared champs

this series right here is so emotional like a dorm room romance out there

dame looks kinda worn

he has 13 in the quarter!!

every series except spurs/nuggets feels over now

congrats to everyone in the world including me for picking okc to win this one in five or six

the thunder have been broken for months but still a pretty nice feather for dame & CJ to beat russ & PG

pretty satisfying to see those two step up and play well

Also from @ESPNStatsInfo: This is the 29th time in Westbrook's playoff career that he missed at least 15 shots, which is 8 more games than any other player since Westbrook's first playoff appearance in 2009-10.

second half 1 point on 0-7 fg

challop: russ is actually bad at basketball

in 20 years there's going to be a lot of squinting at his actual stats. "but he played so hard and he really cared!"

i think russ is a great regular season player. it's hard to deny his impact on games night in and night out for the reasons you joke about... his MVP season especially i think the praise was justified, he carried a pretty sorry team just by force of will. but all that same stuff makes him a particularly frustrating playoff player when paired with the... realities of his game.

he did average 23-6-6 on 43% shooting in the playoffs the one year they made the finals to his credit

he's a con artist

russ is a weirdo

doesnt really have an elite skill in the halfcourt

He’s a stat chasing AI

The People Have Spoken.

Giannis ain't the only MVP on the Bucks

lol good box out

russ has been a floor-raiser in the regular season but unless his shot comes back somewhat those days are over.

yeah it's true... in that sense he's worse than like lamarcus aldridge now

hes not even really putting pressure on the defense or attacking that much any more, just really angry pull ups from midrange and three

wow looks like kyrie is the best sorry

How impressive is #PlayoffKyrie?

Here's what he's done in the postseason...
- Has never lost a first-round playoff game (16-0)
- Has the highest playoff winning percentage of any player in NBA history (minimum of 50 games)https://t.co/Ff8wbihYyW pic.twitter.com/uI84AgSTFO

Tonight's games seem lacking in suspense.

someone just told me in the hockey playoffs the top two seeds are out in the first round and the 3 and 4 might be

sharks vs knights game last night was so good.
