[NBA] East Playoffs, Round One

[Tetsujin]

Middleton is just so freaking smooth

 

[Tetsujin]

Pacers shooting better from three than they are from the field and three point line lmao

 

[gunks]

Middleton is just so freaking smooth

Still hoping for that best case comparison with Keegan.

Kings fans have tried telling people about Buddy for years and no one ever listened lmao

everything lining up for a second consecutive improbable Heat finals appearance lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Speaking of dudes who are still in the league for absolutely no good reason, Tristan Thompson is playing backup center minutes for the Cavs tonight with Allen out lol

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but this "Knicks defense" includes dozens of fouls not called, same thing for those "hustle offensive rebounds" and I am not buying the "it's playoff mode". Officiating in this series is dreadful (Sixers had their share as well in the 3rd match).

 

[iowamcnabb]

Feeling second hand frustration with that Sixers game

 

[megapoxy]

OMG Maxey!!!!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Wow!!!!!!

Maxey was hit in the head from Hartenstein some seconds ago, no call, Brunson gets hit, flagrant foul.

 

[Tetsujin]

Back to back terrible turnovers followed by a near turnover hahaha

“If we can’t get the lakers in the finals, may As well get the Knicks!” -Some dude at NBA HQ probably

 

[Tetsujin]

Embiid with a quadruple double (points/boards/assists/turnovers)

"There was a little bit of contact" TNT announcers.

To be fair a bit after that Hart may not have been out of bounds saving the ball, but overall there are so many fouls not called all game long, I thought Oubre will have stronger reactions this time if the match would end with them losing.

 

[iowamcnabb]

What an insane ending

 

[Tetsujin]

Pat Connaughton drives to the basket as a main feature of the offense. The Bucks are going out sad.

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh, Gallinari is cooked cooked.

 

[Tetsujin]

lol PatBev is hitting post up fadeaway middies. The depleted Bucks are fun to watch in the classic train wreck sort of way.

 

[Tetsujin]

And people didn’t want us to offer a contract to Middleton in free agency last summer…

 

[Section 101]

So Buddy can't even get off the bench the past 2 games.

ya ya

 

[megapoxy]

The Pat Bev show, back to back baskets followed by "too small" gesture.

 

[LoungeLizard]

As unentertaining the first 4 games of the CLE/ORL series was, the last 5 minutes of that game 5 4th quarter was fire. (Never hurts to have the ultimate hype man Gus Johnson on the call)

 

[Tetsujin]

Pacers with no answer for the Bucks Big Three (Khris Middleton/Bobby Portis/PatBev for some reason).

 

[kingdivac]

Knicks loss on Hart - 1/2 on late FTs.

 

[kingdivac]

Pacers FT shooting has been bad. They're sleepwalking on offense.

 

[Tetsujin]

PatBev apparently loves playing by the Great Lakes.

 

[Tetsujin]

Carlisle about to run out of timeouts before the end of the third quarter

 

[kingdivac]

Pacers the cheap suit folding.....
