*~*~* 2022 PLAY-IN GAMES THREAD *~*~*

nets have stepped out like 5 times so far

and again lol

Maybe vaccines are bad for playing basketball

jeez kyrie is insane

maybe taking more than half of the season off is good for playing important basketball games

Good point

Nut hunting

dragic was called for “unnecessary contact to the groin” which does beg the question of what is necessary contact to the groin

Lol

Cavs within 7

nets trying to duck the celtics

garland is gonna be a good playoff player, can break down the defense and make tough shots

thinking the celtics don’t have a ton to be worried about

kd playing pretty passive, weird

or not lol

cleveland mightve won with game if they werent spazzing out for most of the first half

very well

there's now a loud "we want boston" chant inside barclays

Kevin Durant: "There’s going to be problems for the Boston Celtics this year!"

Jayson Tatum: "F*ck outta here!"

Ime Udoka: "We know how to lock Patty [Mills'] ass up."

perfectly flaky kyrie post game interview

congratulations to kevin durant, kyrie irving, and the brooklyn nets on making the nba playoffs

plucky brooklyn startup defies the odds

clippers are beating the shit out of KAT already

its the obvious move

need to see pat bev lose tonight

need to see pat bev lose tonight

pat bev picking up three fouls in the first quarter you do love to see it

Dude is the Westbrook of defense. Just has no self awareness or ability to adapt.

nightmare start for KAT sheesh

Can only go up from here

it hasn't gone that bad for them considering. threes have kept them in it

shoutout to gerson rosas for picking anthony edwards before embarking on a sex scandal

KAT playing like he snorted 3 lines of amphetamines before the game

chris finch letting KAT pick up 4 first half fouls... prob not the best coaching decision he's ever made

shout out to the glue lady

she should've tried to make it further out onto the court

if you're gonna glue yourself to the court it's gotta be at halfcourt

That glue thing was so weird, no one in the building knew wtf was going on

It's really amazing we are only down one

KAT with 2-1-1 on 0-7 shooting and picked up 4 fouls, hard to imagine he's played a worse half of basketball in his life

How in the world did we leave this half up?

Holy shit Red Panda rules

lol

lmao that bev Morris double tech rescinded specifically bc the game matters

classic moment in the history of refereeing

kat out here committing multiple egregious offensive fouls on one play

what is kat…doing

some not great reffing

KAT is playing like he’s filming a jackass sketch where he purposefully bowls over johnny knoxville and steve o

Awesome 1st q from b ingram

That zion footage… dude looks huge

Ha

Sorry just finished

The hawks have had an awful season but Trae has just been ridiculous all year long

man I care a lot less about this game than I thought I would, fuck a pellie and/or clipper

Much love to Delon Wright

The hawks have had an awful season but Trae has just been ridiculous all year long

Reggie Jackson (lebron James kid voice)

Huge nance game

Murphy!

Game is good

pins and needles here for the 11th pick lmao

Imagine if the Pelicans add a 27 point per game scorer unstoppable near the rim who can pass, handle the ball, run the offense, screen and roll, and rebound all at a high level. And he’s only 21. When Zion Williamson returns and if he stays healthy New Orleans will soon contend.

pelicans fever baby

zion tbf is maybe the biggest wildcard in the history of the game at this point

Now that the 'ins are over, we need an 'offs thread.
