Figured we should have a thread for people interested in the playoffs. (Less so for people to pronounce that they don't watch the NBA.)
I definitely directed a lot more of my attention and a lot less to the Celtics this year. I'm on the bandwagon now though.I seem to remember there being decent NBA discussions on this board during the playoffs in years past. Seems to be less interest every year. This thread will be moved to the “pro sports board” and subsequently dead in no time.
A shame as this is the most compelling playoffs in years. Kings vs Warriors last night was awesome. Should be a ton of great matchups in the next round. I’m very excited.
Absolutely completely 100% different playersAustin Reaves = Alex Karaban ??
Call me crazy but why can’t he get there?
gauntletNow Tyler Hero breaks his hand damn the playoffs have turned into a gauntle already.
The hope would be for Newton to tighten his handle and become a Reaves-type of player. Roughly the same size & athletic profile, good at the same things (sees the floor, draws fouls, clever finisher in the paint) and with the same weaknesses (Reaves had to tighten his handle and polish his shot out of college).Austin Reaves = Alex Karaban ??

I hate "the Process," and any team who intentionally tanks for multiple years as a sorry attempt at a title (which has still alluded them). They don't win it this year, I don't think it's happening anytime soon with an aging Harden and too many miles on a player like Embiid.i hate the celtics
Feels wild to have been rooting for the Lakers.
I get rooting against Memphis. What’s the deal with Phoenix?Feels wild to be rooting for the Clippers.
Russ 3-19 but made some huge plays down the stretch. Such an enigmatic player.
