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

Mute is your friend

i went to take a whiz during lillard’s three free throws and, by the time i made it back, steph hit 2 3’s

game 1s are bad because no playoff adjustments have been made yet

man golden state is tough

pretty ragged out there

guard curry imo

blazers are playing...not good

1 off day is tough after playing in an epic game 7

it’s bad kanter again

curry parents need to get real and both just wear steph jerseys

oh wow look at that even Blazers fans cheering Steph right now pic.twitter.com/J4e3wFg7Ld

dude have you seen the split pats/titans jersey that devin/jason mccourtey's mom would wear?

that's how you avoid controversy with yr twins

some place a lot of value in "making the three pointer" but tonight portland is trying the opposite strategy

gotta zig u know

portland scheme so bad mark jackson noticed

somehow theyre only down by 8

dark magic

6

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
