NBA: The '23 NBA PLAYOFFS

[lefty]

Yep

Game 2 will be interesting for sure

[Spurs Homer]

lakers served their purpose:
eliminating the gs gs

now - the former aba team nuggets get to make their history...

[lefty]

Lakers made a good run in G1 and G2 was really close, so they can definitely tie the series,

But if they lose one of the next two games they are not coming back from that

Joker has been my favorite player since his rookie year so I'm rooting for Denver so he can ring

[TD 21]

It isn’t like Kawhi & Butler didn’t play against each other in the playoffs.

Let’s reminisce:

-“Playoff Butler” got demolished in Gm 1 & wanted no part of Kawhi the rest of the series.
-Kawhi switched onto Butler in Gm 7 after Danny Green got raw dawgged in Gm 6 & turned him into an absolute ghost 
-Oh, Kawhi hit a buzzer beater & sent him packing to South Beach

Butler also got locked the down by a HEALTHY Giannis in ‘21 after claiming to be “stupidly locked in”

Basing it on one series, 4 years ago, where Mr. Pristine Cir stances had the far better team, yet inexplicably nearly lost anyway.

Butler has done more with less.

Jason Tatum is basically the second coming of Paul George, he’s inconsistent & makes too many dumb mistakes for a player of his caliber. Meanwhile, Brown lacks vision & is always just trying to get his at all times.

Agreed. Lack of a clear cut superstar/go-to play making are their only weaknesses.

On paper, they easily have the best top 8 (if Mazzulla would inexplicably stop benching G. Williams) in the league because there's no liabilities on either side of the ball.

[Cry Havoc]

Cs have absolutely no way of stopping Butler. And don't really seem to want to play consistent D.

[Cry Havoc]

Also Cs are incredibly lazy on offense and just chucking 3s.

[D-Wade]

Spo needs to stop playing Zeller FFS. Every time he comes in, we blow the lead.

Thje Celtics are ahead by 12.
I leave for 10 real time minutes and the pussys are behind by 3.

TH is their problem?

[Cry Havoc]

Spo needs to stop playing Zeller FFS. Every time he comes in, we blow the lead.

My thoughts are he's just using him to spell other players and for the 6 fouls he has.

[Cry Havoc]

DWade, who are the Heat targeting this offseason?

[Cry Havoc]

Jesus christ. If the C's are down in the 4th those role players are going to start getting *super* tight. Miami has a chance to take complete control of the series.

[MultiTroll]

Wonder what the 80s Celts think when they watch these games.
Or do they give a F?

The 2008 team was soft every year but 2008 so don't care what those schmoes think.

[MultiTroll]

What's the story on YMCA dad off the bench for the Heat?

[Cry Havoc]

Man, it's gotta be physically impossible to be a fan of this Celtics team if you're a neutral/non-Boston fan.

Gotta be the coaching. It's like they have Coc back running things the way they blow leads this year.

[spursreport]

Boston letting that soft got Bam own them

[Cry Havoc]

One of the most overrated teams I've ever seen in my 30 years of watching ball.

[Cry Havoc]

Gotta be the coaching. It's like they have Coc back running things the way they blow leads this year.

Man, I don't see that. I've never seen Tatum and Brown give consistent hustle + good IQ shots regardless of who coaches them.

At some point, it's gotta be on the players to step up. Come on, they're getting taken to the woodshed by the 8 seed. It shouldn't matter who their coach is.

[spursreport]

now that scrub Gabe Vincent.

[spursreport]

Boston letting Miami look this good is hilarious. Miami is totally getting their pushed in yet again in the finals. The heart and hustle is cute but that act won’t get you a le if your 2nd best player is Bam.

[MultiTroll]

Many of the Boston turnovers look like someone throwing the game.
Not saying they are, saying they look soo ridiculous as if it's on purpose.
