Official NBA Playoffs Thread: Warriors vs Celtics Finals

Load management for his big show in Phoenix this Sunday.

 

Jean-Ralphio

 

regular series i would say this one is over

but this series has been so damn wonky i cant get there yet

 

Giannis is fucking cooking. I have definitely seen this show before.

 

Might be controversial, but I like Milwaukee tonight if Giannis continues his current pace of scoring 90 points on 80% shooting.

 

sweet a 3 point variance night

 

Tatum is is having some Westbrook type bricks tonight

but man White and Smart have been solid

 

aint the first time a white has been solid for the celtics

 

Holiday what are you doing

 

this officiating crew has been really good tonight

give them every finals game pls

 

Giannis is so good he doesn’t even have to dribble the ball

 

Quite the battle going between Tatum and Giannis

 

Where is Tatum in the NBA player hierarchy? 1-5? 5-10? 10-15?

 

First half of the season Tatum is like top 30, second half is like top 10.

He did finish 6th in MVP voting, so close to top five.

 

Payton Pritchard just got put in a body bag

 

been waiting for him to baptize house of pain for 5.75 games and it finally happened

 

The pure Will of Giannis

but Tatum is too good tonight goodness

 

I want the Celtics to win this just so I can see more of this series. huge shots by Giannis and Tatum.

 

Tatum is going to be what Melo should have ended up being

 

Marcus Smart is a disgrace

 

Jesus H Christ Tatum is going nuts this quarter

 

I’m doubling Tatum and leaving someone else open at this point my god how do you keep letting him get the ball back. Deny him the ball at all cost.

 

kinda sucks that this is likely the pinnacle of the playoffs and we still have two rounds left

 

Tatum has made that jump. God damn he is cold

 

This Tatum run is incredible

 

Giannis gonna go 50 and 20 and lose?

 

breen made a mistake there not telling the kids to avoid googling elgin baylors work as an executive

 

Dog shit performance by the Bucks tonight

 

miss appleton 1996 really upset with that travel call

 

Getting outscored 51-18 from 3 is not ideal when you're trying to win a basketball game in 2022.

 

Giannis and Connaughton: 57 points, 20-37 FGs, 4-5 3s, 13-14 FTs, 6 turnovers
Rest of the team: 31 points, 14-45 FGs, 2-19 threes, 1-1 FTs, 4 turnovers

 

This Bucks team is so gross.

 

probably would have just taken the advantage on offense there instead of worrying about the use it or lose it timeout

 

Think about how bad you'd feel about yourself if you were on the Milwaukee bench knowing that you can't get minutes over George Hill in crunch time right now.

 

JFC Tatum

 

Tatum is Tracy McGrady man

 

Tatum nearly dunked Connaughton straight to the grave
