The nets made the bucks look like a college team tonight. They couldn’t miss. I don’t think they can come back from this but I hope to eat my words.

And if this nets are firing on all cylinders against the sixers it might just be a wrap.

Yeah it doesn't look like anyone is going to beat the Nets.  The instantly assembled/bought superteam thing sucks.
But the Nets are going to kill the Hawks next round, not the 76ers

this man is a liar

Nah.  Good game last night though, 1-1.  See you in ATL, where Philly will not take a game, just like the Knicks.

[close]

LOL you wanna bet that ?

[close]

LOL check out Atlantas home record since we got our new coach then hit me back.  Legitimately one of the toughest teams in the league at home.

looked real tough last night

[DaleSr]

Lost Serge for the rest of the reason was really hoping for the French connection between him and nico in the playoffs

[BallDontLie]

Jokic bout to look like David Robinson when he won the MVP and got TORCHED by Hakeem… nuggets just look like they ready for a vacation.

Edit: i realized the dude is averaging like 30/10/10…. Can’t do it alone.

[DaleSr]

Got that win over the jazz i knew this team was capable of

[rawr1922]

Lakers suck ,LeBron ruined that team for me. Been a fan of the Lakers since I was a kid. Once LJ muddied it, no mas for me. I didnt like Anthony Davis & not the biggest LeBron fan obviously we witnessing history with him however he ruined the Lakers for me. Anthony Davis such a scrub, dissed his city. Ghannis always be a legend more cuz he stuck to his city even though he will never win a ring. Loyalty, lost art in NBA nowadays
 Been a Lakers fan since Eddie Jones, Nick Van Excel, + Kobe. Loved all the different generations expect the LeBron era . He ruined the Lakers for me. I loved the young core of Kuzma, Ingrahm & Lonzo. Rather have that lineup any day. Long story short, LeBron ruined the Lakers for me. Team Clippers ..
 
San Diego State University... If you know you know

What it do babyyyyy

[victorP]

Bucks are gonna take the BKLYN series.

At the very least. They aren't flashy but they have a solid squad.

[Trashcon]

Anyone see that fan fight in Denver? Suns fan beat a Nuggets fan and yelled "Suns in four!" after. It was epic.

[foureyedjim]

Sheesh, he tried to throw a sneaky one and got trapped instead

Ya Murray injury is hurting the team since he opens up the offense and MPJ seems like his back is hurt. Jokic is basically the whole offense, amazing he can get all these assists when half of his passes end up in bricked shots.

I’m also a Lakers fan going back to the Nick Van Exel days. I just found out Van Exels son is in prison for murdering his friend, which is crazy. I can’t stand Anthony “street clothes” Davis. That dude is soft. It also pains me to watch Kuzma suck every night, while Ingraham, Sweet Lou Williams, Randle, Hart, Ball, etc play pretty well elsewhere. Kuzma is garbage.

To the Clipper fan in San Diego, sorry but I pray the Clippers never reach the Western Conference finals. I am just that petty.

That fight was hilarious. The suns look good this postseason.

[foureyedjim]

After the run with the thunder and now the suns, Chris Paul has been killing it after basically being forced off the Rockets.

It's ok, i hate your garbage town and team.

Hawks need to crawl back in this shit tonight. How half the league is dropping due to injury while WebEmbiid keeps playing, i'll never understand. Our best Tobias defender is out with the same injury as Embiid.

Start Huerter! AKA "hammer don't"

Joke's on you, Atlanta teams have never failed in the playoffs in recorded history, dating back to the 11th century. Caw Caw!

I'm mostly mad at WebEmbiid playing because I bet on Hawks in 7 when he was declared out, and i woulda got way sweeter odds otherwise

[cky enthusiast]

embiid is worked

this a open series

[coldbrew]

Should’ve sat him tbh. No need for him to play through a loss tonight.

[DaleSr]

Series all tied up. Also kawhi threw down a soul crushing dunk on favors

[exlurker]

Picture being a literal giant and hitting the floor every time you brush elbows with some tiny human. He might've been less winded if he wasn't constantly picking himself off the ground post-flop

[cky enthusiast]

i mean having a torn meniscus might make playing professional sports slightly more difficult than usual

edit: wait did a hawks fan just accuse anyone else of diving? they’re literally having to re write the rules of the game because trae loves to hurl himself backwards into people

Absolutely. Trae is a weird looking hobbit running around gargantuans. He'll be getting 20 assists in playoff games for the next 15 years no matter what rules the league changes.

Meanwhile Embiid out there like Kramer when he joined the kids karate class, except flopping like a balloon animal. Can't be good for the meniscus.

[DaleSr]

Listen i love doc, but I'm also not upset that he's Philly's problem now. Also Ben Simmons is high key trash. He can be first team all nba defense every year but he can't put in the extra work to develop a jumper like tons of other players with a shaky or bad jumper have. The Kardashians continue to keep up their skill stealing witchcraft. Travis Scott should bail while he still can

Wow you’re pretty bold when you aren’t down 0-2

It's not terribly bold to say that doc sometimes struggles with late game clock management after witnessing two different blown 3-1 series leads. I will love him forever for dragging the Clippers out of the perennial basement, but he also thought Spencer Hawes was a good idea. Also i was a fan through the lob city years, and I've seen a player work hard on his jump shot to add another wrinkle to his game. Ben refuses to adapt or even attempt to take shots outside of the paint which limits his game greatly. The Kardashian joke was lame on my part though

[cky enthusiast]

KD is wild

[BallDontLie]

For sure. What was it like a 17 point deficit?


And Simmons really is an anomaly tho. That game against Utah he had like 40 something then next game attempted 3 shots lol. An elite defender no doubt.

[exlurker]

CP3 and Kawhii out now?? Jesus, this playoffs is a corpse race. The finals will be played in wheelchairs
