The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[T0INE]

First round is usually pretty mixed bad in terms of game quality, but I think there have been more stinkers than average this season.

Knicks-Sixers has mostly been good and so has Lakers-Nuggets despite it being 3-0; the games have been competitive.

Yeah usually a mixed bag with the first round, one thing that stands out this playoffs is the injuries to key players.

Embiid came into the playoffs banged up, reaggravated his knee injury and somehow gets bells palsy.

Similar situation with Kiwi.

Stringer and Zion got hurt in play-in games and are subsequent out for their teams.

Dame's hurt now and the Bucks are in trouble trouble with Yanni not even touching the court yet these playoffs.

That aspect of the playoffs definitely sucks.

Game 2 was so dumb

Miami’s only way to win any games is to hit an insane amount of 3s and Mazz left them open all game.

Ham looked so confused after calling the timeout.

 

[ALNotSure]

Ham called a time out

 

[dman14]

Denver's second unit usually picks up the defensive intensity.

How was Murray stuck on LeBron in the post twice in a row

 

[pmatic]

Up after the first quarter.

 

[tay1]

They just gon leave Murray on Bron?

 

[sooperhooper]

Refs aren't calling the typical bs they call for LeBron. I'm impressed.

 

[sooperhooper]

Why are they not sending help down low?

 

[dman14]

Malone just gonna burn the challenge
Nuggs letting Bron bully down low

Nuggets need to end it tonite. Swept or not dont matter when you have no chance of winning. Get it over wit.

[frink85]

Myers acting like a Laker lead matters

 

[htg designs]

AD gets props for ballin all season man. Dude needs help

 

[keko jones]

I don't follow Lakers basketball, so I'm only speaking or asking based on this small playoff sample size. Why does Ham get so much hate? He's clearly doing something right to put his team in a position to take good leads. Why is it his fault when the team stops executing late in games?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Right where they want us

pause

 

[akajae]

lakers finally with a good close to the half

 

[pmatic]

If games were only 24 minutes, we have swept the Nuggets.
