The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

This was just the third time in Trae Young's career, and first time this season, that he did not make more than a single shot in a game. He finished today 1-of-12.

heat defense is good

Celtics D is no slouch either

still thinking about ted turner’s retired jersey

tatum relatively anonymous so far, hope he can turn it on

refs need to chill, also the players

18 combined fouls is the most in the 1st quarter of a game this season. @ESPNStatsInfo

lol not this time big al

Did Marcus just wink when he got up after the collision with KD?

how many players are gonna foul out in this game

marcus smart gets ten de facto fouls at home

love the techno-cam timeout!

(on league pass)

this type of celtics offense is not going to work against the heat

nets switching is bothering their ball movement they need to just drive more

it’s working

yeah i mean the nets are soft you gotta go at them

“ecw! ecw!”

hox are bad

also bad

theyre not exactly bad but theyre definitively worse than the heat

they lack physicality esp with capela out and it’s way too easy to score on them

nets doing tons of work to get the lead down to 6 or so and then the celtics score on two straight possessions and it’s back to double digits. one of those games

tatum just blocked kds jumper straight up ive seen him get blocked from off ball but i dont think ive ever seen that

man kyrie just lives to be the heel doesn’t he

i think hes just genuinely a little baby

gotta wonder about kd legs after playing 40mins a night for the last month, kyrie too

i’m sure that middle finger was justified let’s be honest here lol

i mean sure but no one else does that

theyre not exactly bad but theyre definitively worse than the heat

if youre kyrie you cant just freak out when a fan tells you vaccines are more effective than crystals

pretty much every time theis has switched onto kyrie kyrie’s made him pay

yeah thats not a good matchup lol

dragic may be more annoying on a deep vibrational level than kyrie

who are the nets fans at this game…

Hope these two teams play 7 physical games like this.

the ugly game

tatum guarding kyrie has also been a win for the nets…

i’m going to be standing up for the rest of this game at this point

i can’t remember when i got up

holy shit!!

what

oh my god

OH MY FUCKING GOD

think the nets might regret that one…

That came out of nowhere. What an ending.

that has to be the most actual ball movement on a buzzer beater ever

Smart pulling down the 3 with 3 seconds left. Amazing.

NBA Playoffs, baby!!!
