I'm rooting for Hawks please.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

not really sure what to make of a Sixers Bucks EC Finals but let's see what happens

Can I interest you in a Bucks/Hawks conference final?

This might be another Raptors year where injuries to the dream teams changed the whole outlook. The only one left standing are the Clipps but they're currently standing on one leg with no info on when or if Kawhi is coming back.

I don't see that as a likely scenario

helps that KD was dead by that point

I think it would be safe to assume that he will be out for the series

I have no affinity for the Hawks, even though I live here. But I guess I'm "rooting" for them in Game 7. Because **** the Process, that's why. I don't want to see any aspect of Hinkie's vision prosper, ever. Not nary a one.

do you really want to see the Bucks sweep the Hawks?

You and me both. I guess I also feel like Philly fans are jerks too, but mostly f the process. I am rooting to see a Bucks/Suns final.

see above. I would not cry if the conference finals went all of 8 games.

 

[Tetsujin]

KD’s last shot attempt really the real life version of this

Coming into the playoffs, the Hawks getting to a Game 7 in the semi-final round wasn't a likely scenario.

But, if KD is Carlton, then who is supposed to be Will, in this scenario?

Sixers gave them life and a fighters chance early in the series and as a result here they are

3 superstars showed up to the battle of the century to see who could trick the refs into blowing the whistle more often. What a game.

The Nets missed advancing by less than an inch.

If Durant's shot the end or regulation was a three the Nets move on. Game of millimeters.

That was my thought as well and got me asking myself whether or not KD should be smarter than to take a long two with his foot on the line in that scenario. I mean it's what all the advanced analytics say, right? Long twos are all but dead in today's game and anyone take a shot like that should move back an inch and take the three. Of course, in the last seconds of a game 7, it's likely easy to not be thinking about that and just try to get a shot off no matter where it's from, especially when taking a turn around fadeaway over tight defense.

And if the 2019-20 Defensive Player of the Year sacks up, and demands to guard him at the end of regulation, maybe he doesn't even make that shot?

 

[Tetsujin]

Crazy how every single NBA team has a drum line now

 

[Joshoua]

It’s impossible to play defense now a days between rules and these dumbass refs

 

[Tetsujin]

Embiid playing on fumes right now. That knee’s really affected his mobility.

 

[Tetsujin]

Good lord Joel Embiid

 

[Tetsujin]

Bogi fouled him too lol

 

[Joshoua]

Nba refs are incompetent it’s actually embarrassing

 

[Tetsujin]

The Philly crowd is chanting something unsayable on national TV lol

Is Korkmaz any good? No

 

[dude12]

Refs letting Hawks be awfully handsy…….not sure it’s going both ways

 

[dude12]

Is George Hill any good? No
