First-round (non-Suns) playoff games
First-round (non-Suns) playoff games
Thought we should have a thread for all these games.
Jimmy Butler is currently shooting 3-15 against Milwaukee, wow. Narrow lead for the Bucks entering the 4th.

Speaking of Butler(s)
Didn't know Caron was an assistant coach and he is basically there playing the whole game from the bench
Don't think he has sat down in the 2nd half

I don't remember Bam not having the confidence to take n make that FT line jumper
The space Brook is giving him so he can help on the off ball cuts is really affecting Heat offense

That was absurd.
Remember when crowds would count out loud every time Karl Malone spoke in tongues to himself before taking free throws? That was fun.

Mavs beat the Clips in Game 1! Wonderful. I love how LAC tanked a few games to avoid LAL and now they're losing to their preferred opponent DAL.

Mavs/Clippers is my 2021 definition of a hate watch.
The Mavs won the game with defense and getting shots at the rim in crunch time. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the Suns hunting three pointers like its early January. I might need a blood pressure prescription.

Giannis is Shawn Marion with slightly better handles. A great player. NOT an MVP. Especially not in the playoffs.

Hey now, Shawn Marion was a career 81% FT shooter.

Re: First-round (non-Suns) playoff games
I counted it out and it was 11 in the middle of his shooting stroke. I was wondering if they were going to start calling him for that. When I watched Bucks games this season, I remember I couldn’t work the remote and skip the FTs like I sometimes do mostly watching non-Suns teams when Giannis was at the line. He was regularly taking over 10 seconds per FT.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Sat May 22, 2021 2:59 pm

Re: First-round (non-Suns) playoff games
I like Giannis, and I think he is a great player. But I hate when these "star" players hold franchises hostage and make them bend over backwards to make questionable moves to pursue a championship when the "star" players ISN'T EVEN PLAYING AT A CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL. Giannis, before you start making demands of the front office, why don't you make the following demands of YOURSELF when playing in the playoffs:
-Make free throws
-Don't get called for 10-second violations at the free throw line
-Learn how to consistently make midrange jumpshots
-Stop traveling all over the court
Take care of those things, then start giving the front office orders.

Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
Re: First-round (non-Suns) playoff games
I mean, I agree with you, but he did just have 26-18-5 in a win and was probably the 3rd or 4th MVP this year.INFORMER wrote: ↑Sat May 22, 2021 6:53 pmI like Giannis, and I think he is a great player.

Watching Blazers-Nuggets. Jokic is so much fun. McCollum looks very sharp, driving to the basket with ease.
Re: First-round (non-Suns) playoff games
So upsets by the 6th and 5th seeds today. Let us hope the West's home teams do better tomorrow!

It would be apt comparison if Marion had been bigger and a better scorer, passer, rebounder and defender.Shabazz wrote: ↑Sat May 22, 2021 10:41 pmThis is a terrible take (and comp).specialsauce wrote: ↑Sat May 22, 2021 4:13 pmGiannis is Shawn Marion with slightly better handles.
