Around the NBA 2022 Playoffs: The Thread

[BigGameDamian]

KAT plays so fucking stupid sometimes.

 

[wizenheimer]

Minny is the surprise of the playoffs so far for me

and even though Morant will likely have a triple double tonight, his poor shooting has been a huge problem for the Grizzlies

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I never thought I'd say this..but the TWolves are fun to watch

 

[DDolla]

Look at Trae Young, He plays like Dame pick and roll on top then shoot a three. Playoffs is a different animal he gets blitz and double team like Dame. Need that point forward like Draymond that will get you open look like Steph.

Nate McMillan preaching scrappy but right now they need at least some offense?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

And the Hawks can’t even sniff a shot at the end.

Two awful BLOB plays by Atlanta.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Now we witness the Minny Meltdown!

 

[handiman]

I always hoped Atlanta would make Hunter available in trades, with somewhat of a logjam at the position, but probably not now that he's looking like their best player.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Not sure about all of you but I’m pulling for the Pels and CJ to win this series.
Probably won’t happen but I’m rooting for them.

Now we witness the Minny Meltdown!

Memphis has been "my team" all season, but I do find myself rooting just a tad for Minnesota.
I could watch these two play a best of 17 series.

Next time someone says Trae is on Dame's level.... Smack them upside the head

 

[blazerfan11]

Looks like the NBA stopped calling offensive fouls after a lot of rubbish ones.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Lol. Remember when people would get annoyed when @KSF-ERIC and I would say Ja deserved to make the All Star game this year over Dame?

It isn't inconceivable that Ja could end up being better than Dame as early as next year. I'd still bet on Dame for one more year, but then it is gonna get tough.

BAD CAT IS BAD!

BAD CAT IS BAD!

We all get older and start yelling at kids to get off our lawn. Ja has some fresh legs and is on the upswing. Kid is 22 years old!!!

Dame will come out to play next year for sure. He will have something to prove.

Me J is 1-7 from three.

Alvarado is trying to keep the Pels in the game. CJ shooting them out.

Next time someone says Trae is on Dame's level.... Smack them upside the head

Next time someone says Kyrie is on Dame’s level, kick them in the nuts.

 

[OneSport3]

The internet is forever undefeated.

Alvarado is trying to keep the Pels in the game. CJ shooting them out.

CJ is shooting 42/109 from the field this series for 38.5%. Typical CJ playoff showing.

Not a bad impression, though, getting run out of the gym in the 1st round.

Where does Oladipo end up next season?

Made shots when it mattered at the end.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

This was a charge. Nowell was set and outside the restricted area.

 

[TBpup]

CJ is shooting 42/109 from the field this series for 38.5%. Typical CJ playoff showing.

....and under 70% from the FT line and under 35% from '3'. ~22 shots per game, but very poor efficiency.

 

[Shaboid]

The second best part about this game:

Wolves guard/pest Patrick Beverley engaged in some unfortunate trash talk, telling Morant he was too small to guard him after Beverley hit a shot over the Memphis wunderkind with 4:25 remaining. Morant scored 13 straight points after that, including the game-winning layup. Whoops.
