The official 2024 NBA Playoffs thread - no tankers allowed

Where have you been all season?

Coaching…haven’t had time for reg season chat…why do you ask Two Dogs?

Boston would be better off losing to the Pacers today just to ensure Porzingis plays at least one game before the NBA finals.

The more games he gets in before the finals, the better for him and the team.

This makes sense strategically - obviously you can’t flirt with form to make it happen though…can come back to bite you

Its a free hit for boston. Lose, they get to wrap it up in front of their home crowd.

A lot of flopping from Boston

You seem to have forgotten about a certain Unicorn who will be getting most of those Horford minutes, and who defends the PnR just fine;

I always liked KP but I watched him play some absolute stinkers in a mavs jersey. Wonder if that gets in his head at all, playing his old team. Same would apply to Kyrie.

I think both players have matured and come a long way from their previous stints though so I hope we see the best of both.

McConnell to enter concussion protocols?

 

[DT_35]

This ruling will be interesting…

 

[peternorth]

Not a flagrant foul. Only a common foul by Brown

 

[DT_35]

lol wow no flagrant. I’ve seen plenty less get called for flagrant

Waiting for your whinge in 3, 2...

Like clockwork

Funny when they go to Javie before a call is made he actually says something different to the eventual ruling. Whenever they go to him after a call is pointless as he just backs it up.

Maybe posters suggesting that youve been absent and have arrived with your team up and about I think.

 

[Gak Attack]

That falls in the really shouldn't be a flagrant but if you're consistent should be a flagrant.

Really?

 

[DT_35]

Really?

Yes, really.

And FYI I believe that one should’ve been a flagrant also.

 

[Chadwiko]

Yes, really.

And FYI I believe that one should’ve been a flagrant also.

So they've been consistent this game, at least.

 

[DT_35]

Indy have cooked another one.

Siakam is garbage

 

[eth-dog]

Nobody wants to win this it feels like.

 

[Borough Blood]

Turnover fans are feasting

 

[Gak Attack]

Celtics keep doing their thing late and Pacers play dumb basketball. That's been the difference.

 

[Borough Blood]

Get your brooms out (Pacers were damn good, get Nembhard and TJ some help)

 

[Chadwiko]

Absolutely nothing but respect for the Pacers in that series. A 4-0 sweep doesn't do justice for how competitive and gritty they were, especially after Haliburton went down.

 

[eth-dog]

JB huge down the stretch

 

[DT_35]

As soon as TJ blew that layup to put them up 11, you just knew they were gonna choke again
