NBA Playoffs Thread - Play-in and 1st round edition

Man Keegan Murray is a guaranteed bucket

I’ll take Sharpe, thanx

 

[blazerkor]

The Lakers are looking like the more talented, deeper and more composed team in this game. We'll see if their "experience" translates into dead legs late in this game. I still think that they'll close out the Grizz tonight but I thought that the fucking Warriors would close out the Kings tonight, so we'll just have to wait and see.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Damn Hachimura’s a nice player and we could’ve had him for Hart’s expiring. Ugh

Don't think it would've taken Hart, just a few seconds.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

It’s really weird I’m actually rooting for the Lakers in this series

Same, didn't like the trash talking to LeBron, or the strip club guns of Ja. Pretty impressive to see this old geezer still beating up those punk younglings.

 

[MickZagger]

I know. But, but he’s better than anything we got for Hart

 

[Whyachi]

why is Doris Burke so gosh darn mean ??

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Well maybe....but Harts not even one of Cronin's three worst moves. Clippers trade, Nurk, GP2 all clearly worse.

Agreed. I’m anxiously excited to see what’s going to happen this offseason

 

[MickZagger]

I hate the Laker franchise but this particular series I want them to get it. Grizzlies got a couple guys I can’t stand and I like Hachimura and Reeves.

Lebron doesn’t bother me. Which my borderline racist, right wing father in law got in an argue with me about. That’s a whole nother story though

 

[DDolla]

Kings vs Lakers or Warriors vs Lakers?

 

[blazerkor]

Kings vs Lakers or Warriors vs Lakers?

If AD is playing like this it won't matter.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Yeah all these trade ideas daydreaming of Siakam, Brown, Bridges, or KAT.

We'll probably trade Ant and lottery picks for DeRozen, then hard cap the team to sign Mac Streuss. I'll go nuts having to hear the entire summer how we're so much better off now that Olsheys long gone.

What players or stars does a racist old fan root for?

 

[blazerkor]

DLo having a game.

 

[Chris Craig]

The NBA should be embarrassed.

 

[blazerkor]

The NBA should be embarrassed.

Why?

 

[Chris Craig]

Why?

Because a team is down 30+ in a game 6 on primetime tv in the playoffs. #notarealplayoffgame

 

[blazerfan11]

The Blazers got the 23rd pick in the 2023 draft for Hart.
Rui Hachimura was obtained for three 2nd round picks and Kendrick Nunn.
Hachimura doesn’t have a contract for next season, so he wouldn’t have value in a trade in the off-season. The 23rd pick does.

The number 7 seed is blowing out the number 2 seed. That's impressive. Blowouts happen, even in playoff games. I think it's a real playoff game, just one that the Lakers dominated.

 

[HailBlazers]

I'll never forget when wenyen Gabriel stopped LBJ for us.

Not really impressive. It's the Lakers.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

L*kers can suck knob.

(No offense noknobs)

 

[blazerkor]

People complaining about seeing an unprecedented dominant performance. Some blind hatred.

 

[inconceivable]

Budenholzer’s brother died just before Game 4 of the Bucks' series vs Heat. Sad news.

 

[MickZagger]

What players or stars does a racist old fan root for?

I think it’s Lebron injecting himself in politics that bugs the casual racist

 

[Ripcity4life77]

As much as I hate the Lakers the antics by Brooks has made me not root for the Lakers but more that IF the Lakers won the series like we just saw I can live with it cause Memphis with Brooks is a joke. It almost makes me upset that Brooks got me to want them to win that series and at one time I was OK with Brooks. Also at one time kind of wanted his toughness on this team NOW I would rather bring back Payton and I hate him so tells you what I think of Brooks if I would take Payton back then EVER see Brooks in a Blazer uni. Now that this is over I hope the Lakers get swept in the next series and go home cause like most Blazer fans -- We Hate LA and only wish the worst for them.

It's not about hatred. Its boring.

You not watch the other games if this series? Oh that’s right , you just watch Blazer games.

 

[THE HCP]

The NBA should be embarrassed.

Trust me, the last thing the league is, is embarrassed. They are THRIVING right now!

 

[THE HCP]

It's not about hatred. Its boring.

The lakers this playoffs have been “boring”? What feed are you watching? Hating on teams just cause is lame man. “I’m a Yankees fan, fuck the RedSox no matter what!” That’s corny shit. Game recognizes game, plain and simple.
