The official 2024 NBA Playoffs thread - no tankers allowed

Giving up on a playoff game down 5 with 30 seconds to go is... interesting.

Sixers probably not unhappy with the result. Not expected to win game 1 away. More minutes for embiid.

Northy currently furiously masturbating after that first q

Long way to go. 4 day break will be telling

 

[peternorth]

Gabe Vincent. lol

Lack of the third option will cost the lakers.

No one can keep up with jokic/murray/MPJ/Gordon

 

[peternorth]

lebron/davis playing 2 man game outside the perimeter. not what you want for the team in white

when the Color commentator says "stay attached", havea shot

 

[The King!]

Lakers will be swept

Lakers will be swept

Of course, Denver is their worst match up in the entire league but the idiots won in NO to get the 7 seed

19-6 FTs advantage. Refs doing there best but not enough unfortunately for them

nahnah i kid you not - I woke up around 4am, decided to switch on Cavs/Magic for a bit.

Offensively challenged would not begin to cover it. That was some old school basketball.

Start of third quarter was legendary.

Cavs had five turnovers in five minutes, and the Magic shot about 5 bricks, two airballs and a lay up that hit the side of the backboard.

I regret nothing.

32/21/63 shooting splits for the Magic.

They are so going to overpay Klay.

Lose the first game to go into sudden death against the warriors or kings. Just as likely to lose those.

Order of scenarios best to worst:

1. Lose to NO, beat Kings, play Thunder
2. Lose to NO, lose to Kings, get better draft pick
3. Beat NO, play Nuggets

You have to beat them at some point to get out of the west, you take the guaranteed play off spot.

Not if another team takes them out

The Kings swept you, you don't want any part of that.

Also we own swap rights with you, so sliding into the lottery is of marginal value at best. Also weak draft class, and no way LeBron would agree to it.

It's just hilarious that the Nuggets lost to the Spurs last week to drop them to second seed.

DLo is a clown show. The point of a mouth guard it to protect your teeth not have it hanging out of your mouth the whole game

Mavs are getting torched.

 

[Memphis]

Need to sweep the Heat after that game 1 performance.

 

[peternorth]

Ivica Zubac feasted on the Mavs much vaunted frontline who contributed 8 boards between them including 0 from gafford.

 

[Memphis]

Bucks hot af from 3.
