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

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?

i know the early returns on that trade were good but gasol has been a disaster on offense for a while

Kawhi passed up an open three there to pass to
Gasol ?

felt like the raps had this the whole game until like the last 6 minutes. kawhi ran outta gas.

lol @ mega-amped brook lopez

what in the hell was that pass and shot to gasol

just want to point out that I always believed in bropez

Way too much gasol this game

this is not an encouraging result for the raps

lowry goes 7-9 from three on the road and you lose yeesh

raptors barely beat philly w kawhi shooting 110%

Lowry was the only Raptor to make a field goal in the 4th. His teammates shot 0/15

Bucks now 4-1 in the playoffs after trailing by double-digits.

For context, the league, as a whole, had a winning % of .230 in the regular season after trailing by 10+. No team had a winning record. MIL was best at 17-19.

they shoot a lot of threes and have a lot of guys that can do it pretty well

that 0/15 stat is crazy. kawhi was either pooped or over it tonight.

lowry was...let down by his teammates in the 4th? strange game

i still think this will be a very competitive series
