2022 NBA Playoffs

WTF is Kerr doing?  40 seconds left and a full shot clock why try the inbounds lob pass?  Terrible ATO play.

At this point, I don’t know why anyone would believe Simmons will be playing until he is actually in a game playing.

Honestly, if you’re the opponent, do you even bother game playing with him in mind?  Seems like a waste of time.

And then if he is out there, you go right at him, right?  He’s probably lost so much game speed reps, make him prove he’s not rusty.

I think he's done in the NBA after this.   Maybe he ends up on a team that's mediocre and has no pressure to succeed, but he simply doesn't want it and if I owned a team, I would stay away from him.  No other player is every going to respect him.  He should just go back to Australia and get away from all of this.  Hopefully he still has most of his money, but if he doesn't, he's not only soft, he's an idiot.

So is that what they mean when they say 'Athletic'? Asking for a friend team....

Example #38490347 on why you need a center with specific skills.

This is who most consider the best C in the game today.  Getting hunted and scored on 6 possessions in a row.

Chuck has been killing KD the past few days.

Ja reminds me of a young D-Rose in terms of athletic ability but I'm not even sure if Rose had the type of bunnies that Ja has. Dude can jump out of the gym but for his sake hopefully it doesn't lead to long term injuries like Rose had.

for the THIRD time!

does lavine just hang out in club covid?

[buddha]

the bulls are a nice example of how teams get exposed in the playoffs.  thr bucks have totally shut them down.  double derozen.  that's all you do to beat them.  lavine is too wild and selfish, vuc just isnt good enough.  coby white is awful.  ayo and pwill stand in the corner and miss 3s.  caruso gets hurt.  bam, bad offensive team.

and derozen and lavine on defense in the playoffs is a problem.  have fun signing lavine to a max extension, bulls!

Yup. It was fun to watch. However, unlike Drummond, Adams, Gobert, and others who are getting played off the court, Embiid is too dominant on the offensive end to get benched for long stretches (or an entire series like Adams) in the playoffs.

This is today's NBA. Much as it annoyed me when Casey did it all year because we don't have the personnel for it (I'm looking at you, Corey Joseph), lineups that can switch everything like Boston are the playoff formula.

This got me out of my seat when I saw it. I backed up the DVR to watch it in live speed three times.

Pistons need some of this in their lineup. Give me Ivey, Sharpe, or Mathurin please.

[buddha]

i could watch the bulls lose by 20 every night.  so sweet.

[NYLion]

I doubt the Bulls would have beaten Milwaukee either way but they really missed Lonzo Ball. It was a totally different team after he got injured. 

[Deleterious]

Tough break for Milwaukee. Shams reported that Middleton is out for round two against Boston and might even miss the conference finals if they advance.

I just need whoever comes out of that series to be strong enough to beat Philly if they make it through Toronto and Miami.

Just got a little more likely. Embiid - concussion and broken orbital.

Did Andre Drummond finally just punch him in the face?

[casimir]

No NBA games today.  Final day of the NFL draft.  I would think both sports benefit from this?

[Betrayer]

That Memphis/GS series has been crazy good so far.

[Deleterious]

But you lost you idiot.

 

[Deleterious]

Bam needs more love as the best C in basketball.

chris paul is so good.
