It is the 2018-19 NBA Playoffs discussion thread for hoops friends ONLY

darker magic

Crazy ft disparity but seems like it's being called well.

I have no idea what the blazers are thinking leaving curry open after one screen like every single play. He got bored walking into wide open threes and decided to throw up some one legged floaters for the f of it. Kanter is unplayable in this series and Stotts shoulda known that already.

Oracle was deaaaaaad

Portland kept it eerily close for a long time, despite very poor shooting and sluggish play, but they never clicked and the dubs barely sweated. One hopes for much better from them in coming games or this series will be a walkover. Nurkic would be a big help here, if not for his shattered leg and stuff like that.

alright I bit the bullet on some tickets for tonight, too bad all I have is a knockoff Jabari Parker jersey (VINTAGE!!!)

Nice one. Now bite the bullet on a Giannis Jersey!

safe to say the blazers wont play curry like this again

I thought they for sure would make halftime adjustments or that it was just Kanter Kanter-ing but Collins was doing it in the 2nd half.

man giannis taking 3s is like do u want this or not bro dont have that kind of leeway to ef around

the bucks entire chances depend on him wrecking the dam rim

raps r amped

Just Finished the 1st q and that was a tonnn of hoisting

hard to not root for the raptors in this one

its not hard at all, they are extremely villainous

Lol that’s how I feel about the bucks xp.

i like them both

tho i do find myself rooting for the bucks cause i said theyd win lol

You promised us the Celtics were good and would win so I can’t trust you anymore

i hope to rebuild this damaged trust

40 3pa between the two teams so far

fwiw tho i think what i said was it wasnt impossible that they wld win which tbf might also be not true

wld be cool if all the cowardly players on both teams overcome their feebleness and have good series

siakim gets into his actions so fast catches defenders off guard then punishes them w physical talents p cool player

His spin move is top notch

Lotta brook Lopez pump and drives in this game very weird

brook out there doin stuff salute

giannis passing real good tonight

this truly is the battle of the craven point guards huh

right, gasol also suspect

Pretty traditional lineups thus far not much small ball action

Bledsoe vs Lowry is a fascinating matchup for sure

the stocky scared guys

bledsoe out here

maybe the raptors should try and start every series on the road

when lowry and siakam play like it’s a normal game the raptors look really good

also feel like this is another game where the bucks don’t seem to have much of a plan for getting giannis the ball in places where he can easily score

yeah

wow time warp to when kyle lowry was really good

game is wild

Lowry hey now

really feels like the raps should be ahead in this one, i guess their bench guys were just a black hole

bucks getting bailed out by this insane brook lopez game

playoffs baby

Raps can’t waste this Lowry game

brook lopez's transformation into 3&D big man continues to be inspiring

yeesh and toronto dribbles into a marc gasol midrange 2

lopsanity

playoff brook lopez

why, did lowry use up all his MP?
