nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

i think he might shoot some traes (three pointers)

he will do this

Bucks sure are turning it over a lot

awkward brook is back tonight

Well both teams are playing like shit but I feel like Middleton and Lopez are not having another half like that

Seriously why do the Bucks keep doing that thing where they get up 10 then spend the rest of the game jacking up bad 3s. Hawks are playing like garbage put em away

I remain a basketball noob, but between this game and and the last Clippers-Suns game, the difference in chemistry and technical ability seems to be night and day.

Ok time for Middleton to turn it on

Weeeeeeeeeeeew

both teams suddenly draining threes an unexpected development

Never mind take as many 3s as you like boys

It’s so weird how Middleton just suddenly becomes Michael Jordan for a 5 minute stretch

he looks like he's on fire in nba jam when he gets like that... did any of those 23 points in that quarter even touch the rim?

kris quarter

hope giannis will be good for the finals!

tense and nervous, can't relax

Still not relaxing until the Hawks miss a few

don't play not to lose bucks

Sheesh

Hawks cannot miss right now

it's not fun without a sweat

Cam Reddish thinks he's Khris Middleton or something, the gall

The hawks have so many good players

Fuuuuck this

Bucks at sea

This is so frustrating all we had to do was keep playing our game

yeah it seemed like a bad sign when coach bud stuck with his rotation at the end of the 3rd q and took out the lineup that was annihilating them

that turnover by middleton was an extremely unforced error, he dribbled into falling out of bounds. pressure getting to em

Hawks just need to miss a few shots

thank the goddamn lord for brook lopez

THERE HE IS

bucks should be thanking the lord that trae young isn't right, hawks made that comeback with him missing a million shots

PJ!!!!!!!

PJ's three can only be described as merciless

Yeah if Trae sat this would’ve been a different game

this series is a good example of the difference between the eastern and western conferences and chris paul never having reached the conference finals until a few years ago

take a breath folks, you're going to the NBA Finals

Bucks host Suns
Won't you come

I am so excited

now we can all move on to the evening's main event, Animal Kingdom, only on TNT!

I know this is a series we were massively favored to win but fuuuuck this is awesome , did it without Giannis too

congrats to the wisonsin deer

The heart of this team in getting their heads straight and arresting what looked like an epic collapse

Flirting with an "epic collapse" is hardly the most reassuring evidence of massive "heart".

The hawks have so many good players

rip marv don’t let the door hit ya etc

Welp, at least by now we've discovered all but one of the teams who are full of losers. Should we have a new Finals thread or just ride with this one?
