2022 NBA Playoffs Open Thread

I’m curious how Crean used him. Feels like someone you’d want to play at the four in college.

He played the 2

The rotations are getting a little weird because the Hawks are getting massacred, but my guess the plan was to get Duncan about 20 mins total, but he played well enough to leave Strus on the bench in the first half (he’s 6/7 overall, 5/6 from 3).

This Hawks team with Young and Huerter as their guards will just not ever stop anyone.

Finally - I swear to god Mike Smith is sitting behind the Atlanta bench, but I can’t figure out why (he’s in the Heat system).

Duncan is ridiculous, he can get off his shot virtually anywhere

Should be an exciting finish (fingers crossed) on ABC.

Wow great game and we get at least 3 more of these

Hopefully 6 more, but can’t ask more from Game 1 of a first round series.

Shoutout to the Celtics fans screaming expletives at Kyrie right before he unleashed his whole bag.

They shut down Kyrie then Durant in iso’s on that final defensive possession.

I thought Kyrie got by his guy and then decided to kill more clock.

Heck of a game. Tatum is so freaking good.

I was about to say “that makes no sense” but then realized we were discussing Kyrie Irving.

The Phoenix Suns are a real joy to watch. Just beautiful team basketball at both ends of the court.
