oh wait

Gaydawg will surely be in here soon to update on what LeBron accomplished in his first fame of the 2022 playoffs.

Surely.

Any minute now..

Not a lot of shockers honestly. I knew Minnesota had a shot, Raptors would get smoked (and now they've possibly lost Barnes) and Warriors would do what they do. Dallas has no hope without Doncic.

More curious to see how Brooklyn fares against Boston and I also think the Hawks have a chance to take a couple from the Heat.

Lol ice trae young

wow the intensity of that Celtics/Nets game1 was crazy


this series is gonna be an all timer

[luckyboy23]

Fuuaark the Celtics. Can't stand em.

KD got stripped 4 times, blocked, and Tatum put a spin move on him twice in the same spot. Taking those wild ass 3s. SMH. Next one hopefully. Nets lost that one.

Insane for Game 1. It's like they're playing the finals right now.

[AlBHappy]

Celtics fan since 1975. The new "green teamer" fans are idiots. Other than Yankee stadium, you won't see a bunch of fake wannabe white tough guys than today's Celtics fan.

Chanting "Kyrie sucks" Yeah, 43 last playoff game and 39 yesterday. Just enjoy the show.

Tatum is SO frustrating. Had a horrible second half, then makes plays FANTASTIC defense on the Nets final possession and makes a great cut to the hoop and laid it in Guy is a top 7 player talent wise when he feels like turning it on.

Great win, need to stop blowing 15 point leads.

[WoofieNugget]

God, Raptors are really being exposed. And every fan is whining about the refs when Embiid and Harden are drawing foul after foul perfectly and shooting 90% from the line.

Put $100 on Suns to sweep the Pelicans at +260 before game 1, looking good so far.

[IsLifeRealLife]

Jordan Poole is unreal

[ghostfacedup]

Suns are going to win it pretty easily this year. People will be surprised, but if you watched them this year you know they are the most well rounded team by a mile. Team lost Booker and CP3 for stretches and didn't miss a beat. Only team that has a chance at beating them is MAYBE the Warriors if they are clicking on all cylinders.

Think you'll do better this year?

Sorry bud

I believe it’s 14 playoff games in a row Chris Paul has lost when Scott Foster referees

[Skylinerd1]

Im only going to give a **** about this rubbish once Denver gets some decent players around Jokic. Its a crying shame that guy doesnt have any support.



The NBA sucks ass. Bring back hand checking and rough ball from 80's and 90's.

[RiceBrah93]

If Luka becomes 100% healthy and Mavs come out of round 1 victorious, they could very well win the championship

Jokic needs to join Doncic for a 3peat in Dallas. They're the only 2 superstars who don't have help

Youre crazy. Them beating the warriors would be a small upset

Lol

Jokic has plenty of help. They're all just injured

[WoofieNugget]

With Booker possibly out that makes Phoenix more interesting, but that series still shouldn't be a problem.

Curious if the Raptors will make a game of it tonight at home. At least closer than the first two have been.

No way, Suns have been an elite team all year. Question is Booker and CP3 healthy though. They are better than the Warriors fully healthy, way more clutch.

before injuries were clear. Injuries will always muck up a series.


Nets would win a ring pretty easily, for instance, if Simmons got off his ass.

The fact that Zion is too fat to play in this first round series when they have a historic chance at beating the #1 seed is pathetic. This is why people are tired of NBA athletes and their drama/arrogance.

[microsuede]

Sorry bud

funny thing, i was watching the game last night with a girl who knows nothing about basketball. she said she only likes to root for underdogs, so during half time we made a bet i gave her pelicans +10 points. not only did i lose the $100 sweep bet, but now i owe her a night out. as soon as we agreed on the bet, pelicans made a run and took the lead she thought i was mad about her bet, whole time i was thinking about my $100 sweep bet.

[Jaydawg08]

Jokic is the perfect example of why you don't give MVP to someone who is a 4-8 seed (unless your LeBron).. he gets exposed for being a "fraud" because the # of MVPs he has. He has just as much as Shaq and Kobe combined lol. That's ridiculous

You could also say the Lakers would be a 3-6 seed if injuries never happened.. and with Bron and AD you never know what happens.

But that's not how it works. Injuries are a part of it

We need some good round 1 overreactions. If I had only started watching basketball at the beginning of round 1, I would be convinced Golden State was coming out of the west.

From the east I'd take Philidelphia (but not be as confident). Miami and Milwaukee have looked solid, too, I just think Philly has looked better.

I'm also convinced that Celtics/Nets will be the most fun opening round series and whoever wins there will be a tough out.

Utah is cooked. Nuggets are getting swept. No playoff magic for Trae this year.

Actually, I don't think I've said anything crazy enough to be a real overreaction. You guys have some better ones?

[luckyboy23]

Suns might scrap out of the first round. They're far from a contender without book, who is proven to be the most elite bucket getter in the NBA. He's automatic and has it countless game winners/big shots over the other teams elites.

That's what I'm talkin about.

Tyrese Maxey = Westbrook with a jump shot (and better decision making)
