Play Nice 2021 NBA Playoffs Thread - Conference Semi Finals. Nets v Bucks, 76ers v Hawks, Jazz v Clippers, Suns v Nuggets

[Financialpanther]

So tune in tomorrow for the live execution of Ben Simmons?

Any predictions?

 

[scaryness]

Giannis is going to win with spuds

Maybe, it took Middleton standing up in game 6 and then averaging 5 steals a game to get there though.

I had Clippers v Bucks as my finals tip, but if CP3 can come back I'm backing the Suns.

 

[fidstar]

Good call well done to Middleton.

Maybe not good enough to be number 2 on a championship team but he is trying his best .

Smooth af too

So, Giannis is only good enough to be a number 3 for a Championship team. And it sounds like Middleton is the same.

Going to be weird when the Bucks win a Championship with two number 3s.

 

[scaryness]

I hope the Sixers win game 7. Bucks vs Hawks will be an awful series, possibly a Bucks sweep.

 

[Sixpence]

No one has won a ring single handedly, its not possible, so saying LeBron did this while KD couldnt do this or vice versa is silly.

True, even Jordan needed Pippen and Rodman/Horace.

Don’t forget the best 3pt shooter of all time. And the Croatian dude. And Longley

Yup Jrue will lock down Trae and it will be awful

Philly Bucks has 7 game series written all over it

I went through Trae's splits and there are only two teams he plays worse than Milwaukee and that's GSW and Utah.

Sub .500 TS% against all of those teams.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I don't think I've ever seen two teams as gassed as Bucks and Nets were in yesterday's OT. Huge series win for the Bucks and much needed, with Irving and Harden's troubles with injury they just had to make it count.

Hoping Philly win this game, Philly vs Bucks will be a lot more competitive than Bucks Vs Hawks.

Tight match so far

 

[Warsaw]

Doc is gonna kill me. Game 7 Dwight minutes was not the plan.

 

[Memphis]

Young 0-6.

 

[stewie griffen]

Going from the suns clippers to this game.....ugh

 

[Westy Bogan]

Young 0-6.

Yet they lead... not good signs for Sixers

 

[Westy Bogan]

I would LOVE Simmons to be great.... He has all the tools... But......

 

[stewie griffen]

Imagine relying on George Hill in a game 7

 

[stewie griffen]

Imagine if philly ran a high pnr with Simmons to get him a head of steam going at the rim ala Giannis

 

[stewie griffen]

Joeeeeeel

 

[Westy Bogan]

You really have to take a lot of abuse in the NBA as Refs...

If I was Stern reincarnated I would make it that tech fouls just counted towards your personal fouls and they were a 2 shot penalty and then call a shitload more of them.

Then it would shut them up.

Refs are scared to give them out because if they give out 2 then a star gets ejected and no one wants to see that.

 

[Warsaw]

Bogdan raised his hand for the obvious foul, and they still didn't give it to him.

Get the * outta here.

 

[stewie griffen]

Imagine if you had a 6 10 guy who could guard multiple positions and playing dwight howard at the 5

 

[Westy Bogan]

Imagine if you had a 6 10 guy who could guard multiple positions and playing dwight howard at the 5

Yep - Thybule should come in to guard Trae and move Ben to the 5....

Doc doesn't think of those things...

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Imagine if philly ran a high pnr with Simmons to get him a head of steam going at the rim ala Giannis

Imagine if you had a 6 10 guy who could guard multiple positions and playing dwight howard at the 5

Imagine all the imaginings?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Turnovers are killing Philly.

 

[Maveric]

Trae 1/12 get Atlanta somehow still up by 2 at the half.

Simmons again in foul trouble and again to passive, but facilitating nicely and playing awesome D

 

[Financialpanther]

I guess at least they aren't blowing a huge lead.
