The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

pacers had a layup and they kicked it out for a missed three

Much worse

Playboi Carti really is one of the worst. Have yet to meet an actual person who is a fan in real life. He’s even worse than Travis Scott. And that’s saying something

 

[rolaholic]

Pacers seem fraudulent to me

Did they have any expectations to begin with?

Feel they're right where they're supposed to be all things considered

pacers had a layup and they kicked it out for a missed three

I've seen this scenario with almost every team approximately 100 times so far this playoffs.

How is it game 5 and the pacers haven’t figured out yet that pat beverley isn’t going to try and shoot it when he gets into the paint?

Against a Bucks team missing their two stars, yes they did.

 

[brian8598]

In two days I've gone from excited about Pacers/Knicks to wondering if either deserve to move on, especially the Pacers.

 

[ballinsam23]

Middleton finally found his groove yet Dame/Giannis are out.

Also, Pacers suck

 

[dragicon]

Scott foster is just so bad at his job.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Oh Beasley wanna be good now?

Against a Bucks team missing their two stars, yes they did.

This Bucks squad is a lot more experienced and playoff tested than them even without Giannis so they were never gonna have them laying down the whole way

They're still a win away from advancing, blowout tonight and all though.

Obviously no one expects them to go much further but reaching the 2nd round should be considered a success for this squad in their first return to the playoffs since the bubble.

Fraud for me would be reserved for teams that had legit contender aspirations before the season only to fall flat on their faces like Phoenix.

Yall not gonna talk about Embiid getting bailed out? He allegedly has no help though according to SOME PEOPLE

 

[superblytrife]

I will use this as an opportunity to reiterate my strong personal belief that TV blackout rules are silly and outdated and must be finally, forever retired.

Blackout rules are why I decided to follow the Hornets.

I’m in no man’s land down south, so I’m blacked out from any Grizz/Hawks games. Wanted to find a team that was “close” and had easy, quick flights to catch a game. Lo and behold, direct flights to Charlotte are wild cheap from my local airport. So here I am following a miserable team thanks to the antiquated blackout BS smh.

Bailed out with 19/16/10 on 48 minutes while on an injured knee and half a face that doesn't work? Harris finally pulled his weight, Maxey continues to ball out, and Knicks had some untimely late errors.

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

Josh Hart missed a clutch FT, Mitchell Robinson fouled on a 3 pointer for no reason while being up 6 w/ 26 seconds left in regulation, and my barber ****** my beard up.

 

[elpablo21]

Bucks would be up 3-2 if it wasn't for Portis pulling a Draymond

 

[addict4sneakers]

Portis and Siakim can’t guard each other

 

[rolaholic]

 

[dman14]

time to pull the starters

 

[brian8598]

If Giannis or Dame comes backed, zero chance for these Pacers. Can't lose to Portis/Gallinari/Beverly/Lopez/Middleton this badly.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Portis going to be able to flip his Milwaukee career into whatever he wants in the city

 

[lynchpin33]

Day 11 of the playoffs is a wrap!!
