NBA Playoffs, Conference Finals

[kingsboi]

Paul keeps falling to the floor whenever he shoots the three...NBA, are you watching this?

 

[Tetsujin]

Mavs gonna give Reggie Jackson a max contract in the offseason at this rate.

 

[Tetsujin]

really not sure why the Clippers decided to bench Beverly in the Mavs series but he’s saved them tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

Big day for Steve Ballmer.

 

[kingsboi]

OKC Jackson transformation complete

 

[Tetsujin]

Monty Williams about to give CP3 COVID again just to go back to game 1 style ball.

Yeah losing Cam Payne seems to be worse for them than losing CP3 if this is how things are gonna continue.

 

[Joshoua]

I don't know about all that, but I tell you what: say whatever you want about the "weak" east, the next time Doncic leads his team past an opponent as good as the 76ers in a playoff series will be the first time.

clown talk

 

[Joshoua]

They're also at least built to withstand the minutes where Trae is resting as opposed to the Mavs, who immediately turn into a nuclear waste dump the second Luka comes out of the game.

How was young in game 7 vs Brooklyn Haha comedy dallas loses by 30 if Luka plays like that

 

[Joshoua]

Bud is the dumbest coach in history why he wasn’t fired two years ago is beyond me

 

[Capt. Factorial]

clown talk

Looks like simple fact to me. Doesn't even need the "as good as the 76ers" qualification.

Lebron win it for us -> kawhi win it for us -> PG win it for us. Genius

actually that’s just joking. I did see him make an adjustment with Beverly playing more and guarding booker and Paul. Whether he’s saying this cuz he’s getting more PT or really feels this way about the coaching I don’t know.

 

[Joshoua]

So about that Trae Young slander

 

[kingsboi]

this was the Bucks I was expecting Game 1

 

[SLAB]

Wow; that spiraled for Atlanta FAST!

 

[burekijogurt]

this was the Bucks I was expecting Game 1

Trae is having a rough one. 0-5 for three, 7 TO and 2 AST.

But in general too many turnovers for Hawks.

 

[Tetsujin]

What’s the worst a team has lost by in the conference finals?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Trae shimmied his way to a 32 point half time deficit

Bucks playing defense like they have some pride, unlike Game 1

 

[Sluggah]

Welp. At least they avoided the sweep.

 

[burekijogurt]

Sure, they are playing much better defense which is contributing to this, but Knicks/Philly played some great D but they did not produce 8 TOs out of Young in a half. Atlanta could still do better even with this defense.

That’s what chuckers do.

Ended up with 8 TO’s at the half.

Funny, Trae gets all the media attention and praise for scoring 48 on 34 shots despite the Hawks having to win despite him the final 5 minutes but when they’re down 30 at the half tonight the announcing team didn’t focus on the 8 turnovers and 0-6 with the same tenacity. Go figure.

That’s one of many things I so dislike about the NBA today. The invention of stars and the overhyping of them.

Young had a good game on the whole in GM1, but was 4-13 from 3 and struggled the last half of Q4.

During the stretch where ATL got down 7 late, Young was 1-5 from the floor which included 3 shots from beyond 28 feet that he missed. And he was super fortunate to get bailed out on some highly questionable touch fouls.

If De’Aaron Fox got calls like that he’d average over 30 a game too.

Honestly, I think Trae Young could be a much more efficient player if he wasn’t trying to be Steph Curry and was more selective on his 3’s. He doesn’t shoot a good enough percentage to keep chucking so many 3’s from so deep.

I'd like to think that Bucks will show the NBA fans that the Hawks do not belong in the ECF

Yeah De'Aaron is so great that if he got calls like other random guys in the NBA he would average 100 points. Also if his teammates were as good as other average NBA players he would average 50 assists a game. De'Aaron misses free throws on purpose to give other teams a chance lol.

I mean Trae is such a scrub, he's only doing well because the NBA clearly conspired since 2020 that they wanted a star in fan-favorite money-making mass market Atlanta. Heck, Robert Woodard would lead the Hawks to the ECF if he got calls like Trae. Papa G would lead the Pistons to the championship if he got calls like Trae.

Great to see fresh teams in the finals.
Trae Young scores near 50 in a win, and the next game the Bucks practically shut him out. Great defense.
Giannis is from another planet when stays within 15 feet.
The defense on display in the finals is awe inspiring to watch.

Booker was dominant. The Suns were at the bottom of the league with the Kings and are showing what a good front office can do.
After the head butt by Beverly, Booker is tentative and I cannot blame him.
George just takes over games.
These are very interesting games to watch.

Out of curiosity, who do you think "belongs" in the Eastern Conference Finals?

haha where were you after game one ?

ok he chucks 3’s but he runs that offense like a seasoned vet don’t compare fox to him you’ll look silly

Exactly!!
