@TeWaio said in NBA Season - now 22/23:
@Higgins LAL made tremendously hard work of that by the look's of things, people were predicting a cakewalk with Gobert out. Ant shot horribly and they still nearly won it. Lakers just can't put teams away.
The T’Wolves offence in the final 5 minutes plus the OT period was just appalling. KAT was either injured or just choked. Antman was shooting jumpers. They should not have lost their lead let alone the game.
I’m surprised all the ‘experts’ went all in on the Heat. It seemed a lazy “they’ve got playoff experience” pick and failed to realise that the Hawks length and rebounding was always going to trouble them. Hawks aren’t a great side by any stretch but giving them countless second chance opportunities will bite.
Tomorrow I have Bulls in an upset (of sorts) and Pelicans just getting the W against OKC, even though I’ll be cheering for SGA and Giddey.
-
I messaged a mate who loves a punt this morning saying Atlanta at $2.90 seems nuts! He responded with some nonsense about Butler being too good and length and some other shit, so I pussied out and didn’t bet.
Damn.
I also like the Bulls tmrw, and it appears a genuine bookies upset @ACT-Crusader , they’re paying $2.80.
I don’t even mind a double with OKC @ $8.58

What a comeback by the Bulls. Down 19 points and came back to win.
These play in games are fun.
Loved the Bulls defensive pressure in that 4th when they went with that small lineup of Vuch, DeRozan, LaVine, Caruso, Beverley.
LaVine was cooking too.
-
Woohoo, OKC get the win. Very happy about that with SGA and Giddey both coming up big.
A what could’ve been season for the Pelicans. With Zion in the lineup they were a top 2-3 side in the West. Without they are a middle of the pack.
T’Wolves v OKC matchup is intriguing. KAT has a slight injury and their defensive stopper McDaniels is unlikely. SGA or Giddey are a tough cover for Mike Conley.
-
upset day!
-
oh and Torrey Craig with 22 points in a play off game

Westbrook coming up clutch in the playoffs - what a world.
And his ex-team had a convincing win

No Adams and potentially no Ja, the Grizzlies are cooked.
-
the Warriors dynasty is dead
Even if they now go home and get it back to 2-2, they aren't progressing far.
It's time. With a couple of shrewd moves they may get one more run at it with Curry. But if they keep all of the current pieces they'll go nowhere.
To win four rings in the LeBron era is an incredible return. But all good things come to an end.
-
Lakers win game 3 comfortably on the back of a big defensive effort and aggressive offense in the first half. Dylan Brooks falls into the Quade Cooper trap, draws the ire of the crowd right from the start, gets ejected when he plays whack a mole with LBJ's groin in the 3rd. Bonus for LA is LBJ had a light load, sitting for much of the the 3rd and 4th quarters
-
Jimmy Buckets with an all-time playoff performance yesterday. The Bucks had no answer for him.
Cavs are playing far too inconsistent throughout the 48 minutes. They’ve looked their best when it’s Garland running the offence and Mitchell playing a more traditional 2 guard role. Not when Mitchell is playing iso ball. Knicks are playing with a ton of confidence even with Randle not contributing much. Brunson, Barrett, Hart and Mitchell have all been excellent.
Loving the Kings / Warriors series. The Warriors are very unpredictable - both good and bad. Could go either way.
Memphis choked badly yesterday.
-
Damn the Clippers blew that one with missed layups and unforced turnovers.

It's pretty damning for the Suns that they struggled so much against this Clips team - no PG all series, no Kawhi for 3/5 games, and relying on Russ, EG, Marcus Morris, Nic Batum (!!!) and Mason Plumlee (!!!!!) for scoring...how did that motley crew put up 130 points today!!!
-
@voodoo Plumlee and Zub were killing it on the boards. Suns got pretty lazy on defence.
-
@ACT-Crusader Good time to be a Clips fan eh, Kawhi plays 52 games all year so he’s well rested for the 2 playoff games he fronted for

Such a quality player, but a 100% walking sick note

The Kings head into SF and win to force a game 7, making the warriors look old and slow in the process. Meanwhile in LA the Lakers rout Memphis to clinch their series, on the back of a bunch of efforts. AD gets a 14 rebound double double and generally stuffs his stat box with great effort, showing a whole lot more heart. Lakers starting to look scary
