2022 NBA Playoffs Open Thread

For my own sanity I need Spo to go off on these guys at half time because I simply cannot take another image of these celebrating Celtics bots.

Poole mic’d up.

He is phenomenal but I can’t take Luka.

Luka and Curry both on pace for 40

He’s incredible. 9-17 so far for 28 points.

And Poole has caught fire in the fourth quarter.

Looney has been incredible in this game. He has hips issue and isn’t the athlete he once was in HS due to this issue yet he has been mainstay for the Warriors.

Jordan with the best ± tonight. I know he had a couple bad turnovers but couldn’t understand when he was benched and always sparked good runs!
That was a great game

Surely Dallas will realize that they need to guard Poole with “playoff length.”

Some team is going to offer Poole not only a max contract but the keys to the franchise.

I would be more inclined to think GSW will offer him the max extension. The timing works out great with Wiggins contract and they’ll let him walk then slide Kuminga into Wiggins spot.

Poole isn’t going to leave GSW. I also doubt anyone will give him a max (which is not to say he won’t get offered a lot).

There is no way he doesn’t get offered a max if he keeps this up.

Wow. Just watched last nights game. Heck of a come back! I think I would be encouraged if I were a Dallas fan, in the sense that they were just dominant in the first half. But that second half was an absolutely wretched defensive effort. Yikes. Ps Dinwiddie just really rough last night.

I don’t think it’s encouraging to realize youre probably gonna have to shoot 45%+ from 3 in at least 4/5 games.

I’m not sure there has ever been a player whose stats and tangible on-court impact have as huge a gulf as Kyle Lowry. He’s just so good.

He really is, almost as wily and clever player as Chris Paul. Adebayo is also having an incredible game, I had no idea he was this good offenesively.

Duncan on the board!

If Bam is guarded by Theis, they are just kicking him the ball 40 feet out and letting him go off the dribble.

Our Miami Heat are off to a good start. Duncan Robinson minutes incoming.

Big for the Heat to play that quarter even.
