[NBA] East Playoffs, Round Two

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Josh Hart putting up Prime Draymond-like numbers.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Looked like a goaltend to me.

 

[Tetsujin]

brunson!

 

[Kingz19]

Oh we have a DANDY on our hands

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Oh, that one they call.

GDI

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese with the star move (passing it to Nembhard who hits a 30 foot bomb after missing like 10 shots in a row)

As long as it ends the game.....good

 

[Kingz19]

Awful shot by Brunson

Wasn’t even close to being fouled

Very telling how the officiating has gone the Knicks way all playoffs for Brunson to take that shot at all because he expected a bad call to be made

 

[kingdivac]

Brunson still complaining.....

 

[kingdivac]

Nesmith is going to be on Brunson the rest of the series

 

[megapoxy]

Man, I hope Colby does live up to those Josh Hart comps because if he does…

You think there is one in a million chance he will get the (non) calls that Hart does? With the way Knicks get the whistle Brunson would have 10 points or less playing for the Kings (shooting half the free throws perhaps and refs aside perhaps his free throw percentage would be worse).

NBA changed the rules for the attacker to stop getting contact fouls, the famously known Trae Young rule, after Young eliminated the Knicks almost by himself. Brunson somehow makes the same thing but gets a special treatment. Even Trae's father "applauded" Brunson for continuing his son's "legacy" with a ton of sarcasm.

Thibs will bury all Knicks starters at the end with his 47.9 minutes per game, I thought he would have a 6 man rotation not trusting anyone else after all those injuries but luckily (for his players) he used 2 more reserves this time that got zero playing time (apart from some seconds for Burks) in this series.

 

[kingsboi]

Knicks have that championship resiliency, despite the L. that team just flies all over the court defensively. Donte is like a free safety out there

 

[kingsboi]

Josh Hart is such a stud

plant-based diet for the victory

 

[LoungeLizard]

That escalated quickly.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Based on that first half performance, I'm not quite sure that the Indiana Pacers are any good at this whole playoff basketball thing.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings DDV showed up today

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, if you buy into the whole Big Market™ conspiracy thing (I do not), then I can't imagine that you believe that a Cleveland/Indiana conference finals would be what the league wants to see happen.

 

[ockingsfan]

Hali and Indiana must have that Voodoo dolls working overtime. How lucky can one playoff team get. First Giannis, Lillard, and Middleton Out or injured. Now, OG, Randle, Robinson and Bogdanovic out. Can’t get much better room service than that to the Easter conference finals

Do you work in the Kings marketing department? Crazy spin

You know, it’s all luck. Hali sux!

 

[Tetsujin]

Unless Tyrese is intentionally maiming the other team’s best players, yes, it’s luck.

Your spin is out of control. But I get it. A former King seeing major success in the playoffs is not easy to accept for some people

 

[Tetsujin]

The Knicks are starting three guards and their two remaining centers because all of their forwards are hurt.

 

[Tetsujin]

Your spin is out of control. But I get it. A former King seeing major success in the playoffs is not easy to accept for some people

the Pacers have gotten to play the Bucks without Giannis and Dame and Middleton missing chunks of time with major leg injuries and the Knicks missing literally half of their rotation and Brunson on a bad leg. What part of THAT isn’t luck?

 

[Tetsujin]

im fairly certain we’d have beaten the Warriors last season if Steph missed all their games

But it didn’t happen. And now the Pacers have won 6 playoff games this year. Of course we want to spin it and not recognize it to feel better about trading Hali. And we couldn’t even beat the Pels without Zion. Shoot we couldn’t even beat the Hornets without Lamelo

IMHO, the Kings would have had a pretty good chance of beating the Pels in a 7 game series if Zion, BI and CJ were all out.

I want the finals to be Luka vs Haliburton for ultimate peak spinnage.
