OFFICIAL 2021 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - YAWNIST WITH THE CLOSEOUT 50 PIECE - BUCKS WITH FIRST CHIP SINCE ‘73 - CP0 LOSES AGAIN

[ace]

If we can weather Embiid, I think we'll be fine against Giannis. We did better against Milwaukee than Philly in the regular season so we'll see.

i don’t think you got the dogs to build the wall to stop him.

PJ/Trae going to be an instant classic

Yeah I just keep seeing Yanni running down and powering through everytime. Idk if Collins has the foot speed to keep up.

Dude used to shoot right as a kid too. Insanity

Damb...looks like Ben Simmons is the new NBA public enemy #1

Collins, Capela, Huerter, Bogdanovic could do it I believe.

I'm going out on a limb and picking Hawks in 6.

They’re also gonna sick Jrue on him

 

[finessence]

Has to be the worst playoff performance from a star player ever!

Star in salary? Yes
Star in talent? Never

He’s always been overhyped...

 

[pmatic]

Looking forward to this.

Giannis will get his for sure, our strat has to revolve around making Middleton and Holiday take contested shots. My concern is that Giannis is in better shape than Embiid and can play 40+ minutes on any given night.

PJ can't stay with Trae, aggressive defense actually works in Trae's favor.

bogdon is cooked. That’s my guy but he can’t move.
Collins can’t defend like that either. He just had to guard Simmons and jump shot Julius. Tobias got what he wanted on Collins it’s just that’s Tobias. Giannis a whole monster.

feels like Giannis turned a corner. He’s going to hoist some awful threes but yeah he looks ready.

Damb...looks like Ben Simmons is the new NBA public enemy #1

LeBron didn't even get this much flame after his performance in 2011. Twitter and social media has effectively taken away are decorum from the media and players. Add these faux press conferences we're getting from bloggers and couch journalists, some of these questions are so one-dimensional.

 

[lawdog1]

The crazy thing is I have no idea if you're serious

I think I’ve gotten pretty good at telling HIM - ions v. legit posts and I’m gonna say the one about the video rant is real.

Stars get slandered for losing big games cause they choke, put up terrible numbers or make typical boneheaded plays. But, they putting up shots, trying. This the first time a star getting slandered cause he has more missed FT’s than FG attempts. Probably will never see anything like this again.

 

[a-friend]

I knew the slander was going to be loud and all day.
I didn’t anticipate folks suggesting that Ben go back to Australia and play.

 

[misha]

How tf you questioning this now years into your career?

Ben been a clown this been known for 5 years philly fans been delusional blamed the coach . Guys on cod more than he practices shooting . Ben ain’t even top 50 player in the league no more

 

[FreshLeeLA]

bogdon is cooked. That’s my guy but he can’t move.

Is Bogdon hurt?

Mental Health? What the F?

Hold on… HOLDDDD ON We not about to make this about mental health. THIS BOY IS TRASH, HE HAS BEEN OVERHYPED SINCE HE WAS 18, You realize that there are guys that just want a taste of the NBA that would make way more out of the opportunity that Ben Simmons has? This man literally has had years now to work on his JUMP SHOT, NOBODY WANTS him to shoot 3s just develop a mid range. You can’t be serious a professional basketball player with no mid range that plays some fake hybrid PG position that was an all star

nah we not doing this mental health shi* there’s a time and place for that but Ben Simmons don’t get that pass hell nah.

Think he means the social media and the ppl covering the sport always go extra with the jokes and take it beyond on court play alotta the time…The NBA made social media and hot take journalism their bread and butter a while ago n there is alotta disrespect n slander beyond basketball that comes with it unfortunately…I don’t see anybody complaining when ppl talking n laughing bout how bad his stats are or actual facts from game play

 

[addict4sneakers]

Looking forward to this.

he going to let the yoppa sing since Embiid and doc dissed him?

Not sure what he could say

Yes...waking up this morning to see reactions. I expected it to be bad, rightfully so. But Ben is officially the most hated man in the league by far this morning.

And LeBron in 2011 was pretty bad too (much worse imo)

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Dude used to shoot right as a kid too. Insanity

Over 2/3rds of his FGAs are with his right hand but he insists on shooting FTs with his left hand at a rate of 34%?
Also the roasting is warranted. Literally all he had to do was TRY to score in the 4th and ppl would let him slide a little bit. But to not even try is inexcusable

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Folks gotta stop with this man.

Just stop.

LEt him be him.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Is Bogdon hurt?

knee pain. Look at his last 3 or 4 games too. He just out there at this point. Add to it he’s going to have to play defense this round
