Everything Playoffs 2022 (Non-Raptors Thread)

[slaw]

I'm telling ya, Raps are trying to do the same thing the Celtic's are. They want guys like Theis and Horford playing C, not guys like JV.

Don’t think it’s quite the same. Raps don’t want guys playing centre at all. Or PG. Or SG. Or SF or PF. If they had Theis they’d want him to run the break, go ISO and shoot threes.

Bulls are so reliant of Caruso that they forgot that it is actually a team game….

their top three players are pylons

for them to give up 52% fg and 51% 3ptfg at home in a playoff game is unacceptable

Lavine and Derozan must be thinking this is a preseason Drew League game lol

Simmons officially out for game 4. Nets could be the only sweep this playoffs. That's hilarious and exact opposite of what everyone expected.

2nd only to a 2nd chip is both LA's and the Nets out of the playoffs. Perfect.

Does Ben Simmons actually want to play basketball? because this shit is getting weird. And no, i'm not buying all the bullshit injury excuses that his team is saying.

What happened to Ibaka? Bucks traded for him and he just gets garbage time. Has he fell off that much since we had him?

Raptors Culture.

That's true. On defense though which I think is what everyone asking for a big C is referring to, the Raps are doing something very similar to the Celtics.

he never really recovered properly from having a bad back after he left us.

Yup. Lotta hate (not necessarily here) for letting our two bigs go but where would we be now with Gasol and Ibaka on our team taking up a not insignificant part of the cap

Shockingly, Simmons out for game 4. His back is still sore. This guy.

Pelicans playing great. Playoff JV is in the house.

[The Great One]

JV puttin on a show lmao.

Paul lost his composure then so did his team. These Pelican rooks are making his life miserable. Who is this Alvarado guy? I love him. He’s right in Paul’s grill chirping the whole time.

Suns are headed nowhere without Booker. They are falling apart against NO. This fourth quarter was awful. They are in big trouble.

Imagine if the Pels didn’t waste their first pick a few years ago… that team would easily be in the top 4 of the west
