NBA Playoffs Thread - 2nd round edition

Gp2 is always laughing

He's a character

If we want to go full on “Tin Foil Hat” we could include the Walt Disney Co and Hearst Communications beings they own ESPN and they probably pulled all the strings? What’s another couple rings?

I couldn't say that ... I'm being watched ....

 

[KingSpeed]

I think you only give rings to the guys on the roster at the end of the regular season. I do not think Otis Thorpe got a ring when the Rockets won their title with Clyde.

Jonas got a ring with Toronto even though he was traded. Cousins got a ring with Lakers and I don’t think he even played. It’s up to the team. They can give rings to whomever they want,

Edit: Jonas did not get a ring. Cousins name was engraved on Lakers ring.

It's the Toradol.

 

[PCmor7]

It's up to the team who gets rings and I think what share they get of the championship money, too, even if they aren't with the team in the playoffs.

It seems to me most teams give anyone that suited up for the team during the year a ring. It's more of a story if they don't give someone a ring that someone getting one.

Hope you're doing alright today man. I know you'll find work regardless of where it is but damn upheaval at the place you currently hang your hat is never fun.

 

[Haakzilla]

I haven't been calling him Choke Harden all these decades for nothing!

Also, someone tweet to Donkey Draymond "that's what an accidental stomp looks like!"

 

[DDolla]

Ayton sucks

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Ayton sucks

Right, In a must win game, Monte Williams has to reveal that he trusts $1.5 Landale over $30 million Ayton.

Adebayo >> Ayton

Suns win don't look repeatable

Easy Money PHX -4

Ayton sucks

He's better than most centers but for his salary, yeah, he sucks

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

Ayton sucks

Correct. Everyone who was advocating to trade for him needs to watch this series

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

He's better than most centers but for his salary, yeah, he sucks

He can be good when he's engaged.

But honestly, I dont think he enjoys playing basketball. Its all mental with him. As the pressure situations rise - he wilts more & more

 

[Whyachi]

Booker tore the Nuggets up.
I'm so glad Anfernee is a top 5 SG in the NBA, that will be Ant dropping 40 on Denver in the playoffs next year.

We are all on their list now. You made the S2 account. You gave them your info willingly. Fact of life now. They/Them know everything about you now.

I give him the benefit of the doubt. He's facing Jokic.

I wish They would remind me. I’m old.

The Warriors should put a Timberwolf statue outside their arena. Minnesota passed on the opportunity to draft Curry twice (Johnny Flynn, Ricky Rubio) & got fleeced in the Wiggins + #7 pick (Kuminga) for Russell deal.

STOMP

You just go ahead and continue doing what you are doing. They will let you know when you step outta line.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Sure does seem like Kevin Love can still play?
He doesn’t look old and washed up?

 

[Whyachi]

Knicks can't shoot at all. Looking like a sad package of rejects that have no business being this high up in the playoffs.

I worry this is us this summer.

Hopefully the lack of success by Minnesota and Cleveland after their big trades will make Cronin think twice.

Cleveland traded away Lauri Markkanen, Colin Sexton, Ochai Agbaji , 3 unprotected first round draft picks, and 2 pick swaps.
After trading away all that, Cleveland won One playoff game.

Minnesota traded away Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, the draft rights to Walker Kessler, 3 unprotected first round picks, a top-5 protected 2029 first round pick, and a first round pick swap in 2026.
After trading away all that, Minnesota won One playoff game.

 

[illmatic99]

I can't believe Jordan Poole makes close to 30 mil per year.

 

[blazerkor]

There were some in here that after the last Laker/Warriors game were saying that the Warriors would dominate the Lakers going forward. Not the best take.

 

[Natebishop3]

I want the Lakers to destroy them. I’m so sick of the warriors. I’m so sick of their fans. I’m ready for Curry to be gone and for that team to fall out of relevance for a long time.

Crazy part is Curry has 3 more years on his contract and it goes up to about 60 million a year at the end.
