Playoffs Thread

Discuss all the games going on in the playoffs…

I moved to Mississippi when the Hornets left Charlotte, so I followed them. Needless to say, I have a soft spot for the Pels.

 

Glad they pulled off the win tonight

[Brooklyn 3.0]

Hope BK can steal one tonight. Almost had the win in game 1. Where in Mississippi did you live, Aggie? I lived in Jackson for 6 years.

I think BK will get tonight’s game. Durant will have a better game.

 

I lived in Biloxi; well, a small town outside of Biloxi. Never really been to Jackson. Never really been North of Hattiesburg.

Haven't watched much of the playoffs, but f*** the Pelicans anyway.

When I was in 7th grade our choir had a competition in Biloxi. That was before the days of water casinos I think. There was nothing in Jackson. One AA baseball team ... and yep. That's it. I did go to school with Othella Harrington though. God bball player who went on to star at Georgetown before floppingin the NBA.

Meanwhile checking in on the Nets...

Yeah, brutal. Just goes to show how chemistry can actually beat Super Teams (see: Lakers). Kyrie not playing half the time and KD being out for so long hurt just killed the Nets this year. Plus, KD is not clutch at ALL. Great player, elite. But they keep giving him the ball as time expires and he misses ... every time. I'd much rather them just have one star and the rest a solid squad of good players and I'm ok with that one star being Kyrie. KD can go choke somewhere else.

That said, the Celts are going to the Finals.

KD is washed and not clutch but Kyrie is still a cornerstone star? That’s some take ya got there. Good luck with that. But I do agree the Celtics look Finals bound. Though the Bucks should have something to say about that.

KD is not washed. Didn't say that. Dude is elite, but folds when given the big shot. Last year, playoffs, chance to win it ... brick. Multiple times this season ... shot needed ... brick. He has no killer instinct. We've ALL been spoiled by the likes of MJ and Kobe. They got it done. Killers. KD ... meh. Thanks for the 30 ppg and all but come on man ... can I see some fire? It's like he's high 24/7 out there. Kyrie is just as good as KD IMHO. He's a headcase though. From a flat world to not getting his COVID shot ... dude is one of a kind. KD missed 6 weeks this season, Harris played only 14 games, we got rid of The Beard for Simmons ... who didn't even play one minute, and Kyrie couldn't play home games until the very end. Messed up season for sure.

My Timberwolves lasted longer than the Nets so I am proud of my boys.

Also, Steve Nash has NO business being a coach.

Does Nash even have any designed plays he uses? When I’m watching, it’s normally KD or Kyrie playing iso. 
 

From what I understand, Kyrie and KD don’t want a real coach over there, but it would do them some wonders.
