'21-'22 NBA Playoffs Games/Series

[bajanguy008]

Yea folks
Figure we don't want to be posting all the game by game opinions in the prediction thread

Just tuning in to see Dinwiddie going iso over n over
Not sure bout that and his stat line doesn't support that offensive choice
I would guess Brunson doing his thing if this game still close

[bajanguy008]

The Jazz struggled to shake Mavs and now lead was 8 I think and been cut down to 2pts with 3mins left
These dudes really not going to start the Playoffs throwing away another 4th quarter lead right

[dragickingdom]

Utah takes game one in Dallas and now has home cort advantage.
The tree pups are playing really well against the teddy bears.

[Split T]

I wanted to pick Minny, I really think they are going to give Memphis a series

[bajanguy008]

JJJ doing his thing which is " foul trouble "
3 fouls in like 8mins

Fast starts for just about all the key guys
KAT, Ant, Ja

[Split T]

Towns feels a little unstable on the court.. like he’s definitely a guy you can get in his head. Wants to be physical but doesn’t know how without fouling and doesn’t like when you get physical with him.

[Split T]

JJJ has 7 blocks and 4 fouls in 16 minutes

[Wally_West]

Smh lol

Wolves 97 - Grizz 92 at end of 3rd
These teams scoring a bunch

[bajanguy008]

Ant has 34 !!
Wolves just went up 10 with 4mins left but quick response by Grizz

Ja can cut it to 4 in less than a minute

[Split T]

Up to 9 with less than 2 minutes to go. Minny is gonna steal game 1

[bajanguy008]

Yup

[bajanguy008]

Wow



Raptors choosing to go with their "best 5" which means not starting a Center against Embiid
Interesting

[Split T]

They don’t really even have a center do they?

Khem Birch is their only listed center and he’s 6’9 233, Siakam is listed at 6’9 230

[Split T]

I am questioning my Raptors pick, Philly looks pretty good

[Indy]

Same

[Flagrant Fowl]

It seems rare for Game 1 to indicate series' results. The home crowd, different officials, injuries.. so much can change from game to game.

[Indy]

Agreed. But Philly does look good, and Thybulle hasn't been that impactful, so his missing games in Toronto might not be as big of a deal as I thought.

[Superbone]

Man, if it’s that hard for Utah to beat a Doncic-less Mavs team, they’re not going far.

[LazarusLong]

76ers looked great, and Raptors looked flat.
Embiid didn't dominate that much, either, as Maxey and Harris more than took up the slack.
Announcers kept saying Maxey and Harris were third and fourth options, implying Harden was second option.
I'm thinking Maxey is the emerging second option for that team.
