AROUND THE 2024 NBA PLAYOFF: PLAY-IN and FIRST ROUND

[Whyachi]

Cavs up 1 after 1, low scoring slugfest in Orlando

 

[Whyachi]

Magic erase Cavs 9 point advantage. It's getting spicy, double techs and trash talk

 

[kjironman1]

out of curiosity...why are playoff updates being posted in the play-in thread?

I just figured eventually a mod, maybe @PtldPlatypus or @SlyPokerDog or @Chris Craig or somebody with real powers would change the name into something like “The 2024 playoff thread”. You know something all encompassing and that actually tells you what you are clicking on?

I would have done it but I'm just a ghost mod, apparently.

'click' is one of those new-age words. It can be a noun or verb. It can be an adjective and even a derivative pronoun. It would reach the apex of versatility if it could be a dangling participle.

don't downplay Strenuus moderation. We need reality checks when Blazer fans hand out Micheal Porter Jr. comps to Justin Minaya.

 

[Whyachi]

Cavs are folding, only 10 points in 3rd qtr. Intense Magic defense, WCJ leading the charge. Orlando NEEDS to trade Carter and FRP for Anfernee Simons.

What happened to the Cavs?

 

[Whyachi]

Pelicans draw first blood, 2 zip NOP

 

[MickZagger]

Edwards D-Generation X taunt on Phoenix

lol

He’s too young to remember them

 

[MickZagger]

What happened to the Cavs?

They can’t deal with that length

 

[Whyachi]

What happened to the Cavs?

it's simple... Sharpe, Reath & Thybulle squashed the Cavs back in November. If you lose to Portland, it can become a draining and complex problem.

We swept the Pacers too.

roughed up Indy good (the 2nd win was Siakam's big debut. Everyone got mad and called it a stupid trade. Pacers seem to have recovered)

 

[Whyachi]

Thunder 11 triples at 52%

Pelicans barely hanging in there

Leaving the mighty Blazers seems to be the kiss of death

 

[BigGameDamian]

Shaq says Pelicans are going to be in the WCF.

I wonder if Shaq still stands by this quote?

 

[BigGameDamian]

These hostile acts are being looked at in the NBA are hilarious.

 

[Whyachi]

11 steals & 17 threes for OKC

they got the 3&D workin'

 

[Whyachi]

Jose Alvarado 1-11 3pt in this series

... Jar Jar Binks mode

 

[Cugel]

OKC has such a bright future. I know they still have a pile of FRPs to play with too.

[Whyachi]

Celtics rampaging Miami

 

[TYDame]

The Thunder lost KD to Free Agency, traded Westbrook, Harden and Paul George and now is the number one team in the west with 100 more draft picks. Simply Amazing.

 

[Whyachi]

the ABC/ESPN folks put Lakers hype to maximum. Will it help them beat Denver?

 

[wizenheimer]

will Sharpe ever be a better player than Jalen Williams?

 

[HailBlazers]

will Sharpe ever be a better player than Jalen Williams?

Im more concerned if Cody will be as good.

 

[Whyachi]

will Sharpe ever be a better player than Jalen Williams?

you mean when Cronin trades Shaedon to Brooklyn for Mikal Bridges? The Blazers need to keep building up Simons & Billups

 

[Whyachi]

Lakers played well. Now they need to become the only team to win a series down 0-3, and save Coach Ham's job.

 

[TYDame]

Ok my bet is on Denver come Monday
