NBA Playoffs 2024

[MFer]

With the Lakers, and Sixers out I have no one left to root against. I can just enjoy things as they unfold now.

I'm not exactly keen on the idea of Boston winning, but the Sixers and Lakers LeBron were really the main ones for me.

So Patrick Beverley is a piece of shit for the few people who still weren’t aware

That is kind of crazy. I could have swore Old Dawg Dirk won a playoff series. At least, Carlisle’s teams didn’t blow any 3-1 leads.

 

[Incandenza]

Oh, Donovan Mitchell had a 50-piece, did he? What was the final score?

 

[Incandenza]

Real talk: that was an absolutely heroic performance for a team that didn't deserve it. Hopefully whatever team he's on next is worthy of him.

It always amuses me when there is a lot of debate about where a particular player is going the next year when his current team is still in the running.

I remember when they beat the brakes off the Celtics in January, Cl(ol)ippers.

Getting flashbacks to gut punching losses to the Pacers in the mid 90s tonight.

 

[Fall of Epic]

KNICKS!!!

 

[909]

It's weird seeing people surprised that Denver's gonna lose this series. They barely had the lead in the last one! Darvin Ham handed them four games. Other teams ain't gonna do that.

 

[alfdogg]

Minnesota is winning the chip this year. I was very close to making this statement after game 1, but I definitely don’t see anyone beating them at this point

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Cavs are playing Tristan Thompson and a Morris Twin in the first quarter. Yeah, I am not too worried about this series as a Celtics fan.

Defensive Player of the Year: Rudy Gobert, for the fourth time, tying the NBA record.

Famous last words. Yeesh. So much for this being a snoozer series

Exposed how important Boston's secondary scoring has to be if Tatum just does his normal 20-25 points and Jaylen Brown has an off night where he scores under 25 (scored 32 in Game 1). Tatum isn't a Jordan/Kobe/Lebron type where he'll try to take a game over to score 35+ so it really leans on Jaylen Brown being a Super 2 and guys like Derrick White going off.

Jrue & Derrick White were a combined 5/19 including 1/10 from 3 point range. Compare that to Game 1 where they were 15/30 and 9/19 respectively.

 

[strummer]

Tough loss for the Knicks. Nothing is ever easy with this franchise I swear

 

[Fall of Epic]

Bullshit.

 

[strummer]

Welp. Just had to be the Pacers again

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

My god, stop hurting em.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Bet those Knicks fans who chanted “We want Boston” after Game 2 feel pretty dumb rn.

 

[strummer]

Any Knicks fan with a pulse or brain cannot be surprised by this. We all know how this is ending

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Hope those games were good enough for Rick Carlisle. Not that it mattered in this game, but his 35,000 dollar bribe paid off.
