Around the NBA 2022 Playoffs: The Thread

[MickZagger]

Brandon Clarke the former zag would be nice to have

 

[DDolla]

I can only hope sometime soon we can be in a competitive series like this grizz/wolves one.

Bodies on the floor on every shots

 

[MickZagger]

These playoffs have been good

 

[BigGameDamian]

LoL KAT…You never know what these idiots are going to do.

I'm really hoping sometime soon we can be in a first round series that isn't competitive at all because we're mopping the floor with the opponent.

I was rooting for the Wolves to tie this series up but I've gotta say I loved watching PatBev brick two free throws in a row earlier. Cant's stand that dude.

 

[DDolla]

Great playoff games but Mavs and Wolves should be up 3-1 now

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hopefully she gets locked up for years

Yes, God forbid a billionaire be inconvenienced and a sporting event delayed for a couple of minutes.

God forbid she had a knife like the guy who stabbed Monica Seles. No one knows intent. Best way to put an end to these assholes is to make an example out of them

KD is probably tired. Dude carried the USA team to gold.

Was thinking that very thing. He looks a step slow and he just doesn't seem to have that fire.

Ja needs to quit doing shots of cognac with rap stars and focus 100% on his game, during the season.
It has been a shitty secret that the young man loves to party.
If he gets his priorities right, his ceiling is unlimited.
I love what Minnesota is doing, but Memphis' star isn't shining like he should, and it isn't due to smothering defense.

 

[handiman]

and simmons apparently targeting Game 4 is a joke. You sit out all year with a mysterious back problem only to show up for the final game of the season? I stanned so hard for this dude, but he doesn't have it.

Very transparent, cowardly move. If they lose, he's basically off the hook because they were already facing elimination. If they win, he gets to be the hero.

I'm not sure there's ever been a worse professional teammate than Simmons over the past year.

I really hope this is sarcasm or Henry Abbott’s burner account.

Pat Con
A 6’5” wing that plays defense and can shoot the three as well as Dunk on Yo Azz!
Very good rotational role player. He will be a glue guy on a winning team his entire career.

Love PatC!
However, the Bucks could be goin' for the sweep if he had blocked out Caruso (twice) at the end of Game 2, allowing Chicago multiple chances for Demar to ice it.

Alex Caruso is another example of a guy who just makes a team better.

Too funny. I just posted that Caruso post the same time you did.

Olshey decided to cut Connaughton loose so he could offer Stauskas the same contract

Connaughton has a pretty limited role on the Bucks though

Pretty sure Stauskas has a much more limited role?

I think Morant is a little over-rated anyway because of his poor 3-point shooting. It wasn't good in the regular season (34%), and it's worse in the 4 playoffs games, he's only taken 11 total and made 3. 27%.
Tyus Jones shot 39% on 3-pointers during the regular season and is 7 of 11 through 4 playoff games.
This is probably one reason the Grizzlies do fine without him.

I meant that comment about Pat vs Stauskas as a way to further illustrate olshey's dumbness, not to imply that they were two similar players. Connaughton has found a perfect role for his talents in Milwaukee. Crazy thing is he's been surpassed by Grayson Allen. Allen has decent talent but is a total shithead

Prior to his injury, I think Pat was the "7th man"....
But, olshit

Yeah..
My other issue with Ja is his durability, which will only get worse if he continues to take the beating he does.
Dude is barely 160lbs soaking wet, and he gets thrown to the ground (hard) too much for my liking.
But still, I maintain his athletic ability is in a league of his own. If he can grow up (literally) he can be an all timer.
Meanwhile, we watch his counterpart, a guy like Antony Edwards (the REAL Ant) take his game seriously.
Another, who has an unlimited ceiling IMO.

 

[Wade Garrett]

My 3 favorite players in the league are:
Caris Lavert.
Anthony Edwards
Bobby Portis
I love Bobby Portis. I would have an entire team made up of guys like him.

That certainly is a novel psychosis. Wishing for a team whose entire lineup would've fouled out by the end of the game.

Hope away.

I don't count Blazer players on my "favorite player" list.
Like picking a favorite child, won't do it.

Nah...
The entire lineup would not foul out.
Doesn't matter though, each time one would foul out, I'd just bring in a different Portis.
It'll be fine.
BTW @Rastapopoulos
It should be noted that Portis fouled out of one (1) game this year.
His first in six seasons.
