Official Around the NBA April 2019 Playoff Edition

[TorturedBlazerFan]

You play hard all year for home court and the first two playoff games, road teams won. Now I’m scared for the Blazers

Hopefully homecourt matters tomorrow...

Only in our series.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Brackets are busting!

 

[illmatic99]

Their playoff record in toronto is pretty much like ours

 

[KingSpeed]

Okay. Time for Clippers to win.

 

[James lamphear]

76'ers and Raptors loose today.

Bruh you people man. What does Philadelphia losing without Embiid and Toronto losing have to do with us? Now you're "scared"?...

 

[illmatic99]

Lowry going 0-7 in a game one. Man I feel for this guy

 

[KingSpeed]

Embiid played. Had 22/15/4/5.

 

[Chris Craig]

2 upsets to start the playoffs! Can the Clippers dobit next?

 

[H.C.]

Lowry going 0-7 in a game one. Man I feel for this guy

Lowry after g1 loss.
'look I got paid 31million this year to play in 82 games not 83. I'm going to the bahamas.'

 

[Chris Craig]

Embiid played.

Half a game only 24 mins

 

[Chris Craig]

Lowry after g1 loss.
'look I got paid 31million this year to play in 82 games not 83. I'm going to the bahamas.'

Wow

 

[KingSpeed]

Lowry going 0-7 in a game one. Man I feel for this guy

Got destroyed by DJ Augustin.

 

[BonesJones]

Embiid played.

Thought he was gonna sit? I didnt see that 1st game. Either way, dont see what that has to do with us.

 

[KingSpeed]

Half a game only 24 mins

And he was a -17 in those minutes.

 

[KingSpeed]

Thought he was gonna sit? I didnt see that 1st game. Either way, dont see what that has to do with us.

Nah he played. The playoffs have been awesome so much. Nets and Magic both took big first half leads, both pulled off the upset.

 

[KingSpeed]

2 upsets to start the playoffs! Can the Clippers dobit next?

Yep. Go Clippers! Hey can you merge this thread with the Around the NBA Playoffs thread?

 

[BonesJones]

Nah he played. The playoffs have been awesome so much. Nets and Magic both took big first half leads, both pulled off the upset.

I saw the Magic game.

 

[andalusian]

Playoffs have been awesome so far!! Nets and Magic kicking ass. How Magic kept their poise I'll never know. So calm under pressure in that building.

No pressure, is my guess. They are playing with house money.

7 mins before the broadcast started it came down he was playing.
Guy had like 11 free throws in the first quarter.
He was dominate. Until he got tired. But his conditioning is always a question. It's a serious question when he plays in like 9 of 22 games to end the season.
Simmons, JJ were ass.
Philly loses by 40+ if not for Butler.

 

[KingSpeed]

So the Raptors fire the COTY and trade for Kawhi (who will leave this summer) and nothing has changed. Still choking in playoffs. I like the Magic in a sweep.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Brackets are busting!

A #6 just beat a #3.
A #7 just beat a #2.

Wow.

 

[KingSpeed]

No pressure, is my guess. They are playing with house money.

They made a good point on TV too. The Magic have been playing must win "playoff" games for the last month. They're used to the pressure.

 

[Chris Craig]

I said the Magic would win that game

 

[KingSpeed]

A #6 just beat a #3.
A #7 just beat a #2.

Wow.

YEP. Clippers up next!

 

[H.C.]

Lets be honest tho for as shit as Lowry played.
Geko's had the game tied until Gasol & Leonard blow a P&R coverage giving Augustine an uncontested three.

The Magic are the hottest team to end the regular season and now to start the postseason

But Vucevic had an off game too and the Magic (with almost no playoff experienced players) won on road vs a Toronto team that was supposed to be much improved. Magic shot pretty badly overall too.
