NBA Playoffs 2023

i just want the winner of denver/phoenix to win it all. #breakingnews

Will be interesting to see if a Phx team can actually come through against a good opponent for once in forever.

Your who are what?

Ja isn't individually great enough to make the requisite difference in the playoffs when the entire offense runs through him. He doesn't make his teammates better and he isn't particularly efficient on offense. 

And this is an "I told myself" moment as I thought this Grizz team had some upside for maybe making a WCF run and I drew up as much in the playoff pool.

I'm just waiting to see which big Denver player goes down with injury. The only reason phoenix made it to the Finals 2 years ago. Just like the Warriors 2015 run. Except Milwaukee didn't have any and they beat Phoenix. They already faced LAC without PG and then Kawhi for a free pass.

Reeves stinks tonight. Lakers need to play some defense so they can all rest up for Golden State

That said - I fucking love watching this guy play.

Feels like the Lakers should just punt this game

They should punt the series they're a bunch of losers and they'll never win anything.

Unless they can beat the Warriors then they should close this out as soon as possible.

@Message Board User hey it's gonna be okay. 

[Aqua Buddha 14598]

So, the Hawks beat the Celtics on that last second shot, forcing a Game 6 in Atlanta on Thursday.  Problem is there was a Janet Jackson concert at State Farm Arena.  They have since pushed that to Friday night.  Problem is that same night at the Mercedes dome, there is.....Taylor Swift.

Not sure downtown Atlanta has the space but we'll see.

[ztejas 43503]

Heat up after 1Q.

[LTtxfan 49304]

Lakers looked old -- Better win Game #6 and hope warriors/kings goes 7 games.

[LTtxfan 49304]

Fox early is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kings up 28-19

[aggie08 21505]

Warriors are -45 points per 100 possessions when Steph sits this series. That's, uh, not ideal.

Winner of LA/MEM probably has no shot against the SAC/GS winner. The Clippers would have given either the Lakers or Grizzlies serious issues. 

[LTtxfan 49304]

Whistles not friendly to Kings in 1st qtr

[Reynolds Woodcock 4783]

Sabonis is a good player, but he has been supppperrr underwhelming this series.

Refs have missed a few obvious hacking fouls on warriors... is this official crew supposed to be good??

 

[Fastbreak 3988]

Klay going off

[LTtxfan 49304]

Kings settling on jump shots too much on offensive end, and lack discipline on defense...

Tie game  50-50      4min left 2nd qtr

[Fastbreak 3988]

“Who’s on Klay?”

12-0 run with Steph on bench

[ztejas 43503]

*basketball becomes more popular internationally*

*basketball becomes more bitchass*

 

Lol Steph didn't get anything out of it either. What a fucking pussy. 

[LTtxfan 49304]

60-56 halftime lead warriors

That was a foul on Steph... and yah, weakass acting job trying to get a flagrant foul call against the kings

[LTtxfan 49304]

Another Looney hack foul goes uncalled...

WTF

[ztejas 43503]

That's a really bad tech to commit. That could swing the entire game. 

[LTtxfan 49304]

Fox has a little Isaiah Thomas in him when he drives the basketball...

How many tech's in playoffs results in an automatic suspension??

Fox already has at least two...

[ztejas 43503]

Maybe God wants Suns/Warriors.

[LTtxfan 49304]

Kings are only 1 for their last 15 3pt attempts...   yuck

78-71 warriors lead     under 6min qtr3

Edited April 27, 2023 by LTtxfan

[ztejas 43503]

They want this to go 7.

[LTtxfan 49304]

Kings getting to the foul line more late in 3rd qtr is keeping them in the game.

89-86. warriors lead.   2min left qtr3

[LTtxfan 49304]

Warriors show their championship character and experience -- Big time closeout to 3rd qtr

GSW leads 99-90         end of 3

 

Dumb turnovers piling up for kings

[Mitch Cumsteen 18550]

Bucks falling apart. 

[aggie08 21505]

Um, what the fuck is happening in Milwaukee?

[Mitch Cumsteen 18550]

Milwaukee’s defense on Butler is mind boggling. He’s killing Jrue and Bud won’t switch anybody else onto him. This last possession….

[Mitch Cumsteen 18550]

And he got a great look just didn’t knock it down. 

[LTtxfan 49304]

Kings better play some 4th qtr defense or warriors gonna win tonight...

[Fastbreak 3988]

Payton making big difference. Looney is modern day Rodman.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18550]

Jimmy Butler omfg. Milwaukee deserves to lose. Just one brain fart after another. 

[Fastbreak 3988]

Take foul there is fucking stupid call

[Horny Bull 2760]

Holy shit

[Vic Mackey 47089]

Wow!!

[Michael Knight 12989]

wow

[LTtxfan 49304]

Kings finally on a run... 10-2

Correction. The refs are calling lots of bullshit

[shadow_operative 15932]

wow, jimmy butler keeps himself physically away from the entire play and giannis sends up fouling max strus on a three point shot. that's crazy.
