NBA Playoffs thread - Scientists unite

[TKing]

Someone who's actually excited about basketball must be so terrible

Lol he sounds miserable, not excited.

 

[Croaker]

Time for Buddy Hield to drop 54

Lmao at home teams utterly shitting on themselves.

Home teams are 5/13 in game sevens since 2021.

While trading for Butler was an amazing move, I absolutely hate his extension and what his AAV is going to be at.

Ant did his best Luka impression after that no call.

He's the best player on the Warriors, he should get paid the most

If they don't trade for him, they're not even here. They're likely at home. Curry has been understanding despite all the shit moves they made after the title, especially in the draft, never asking to leave or leveraging his pull in the media. They owed it to him to maximize his last few years, even for Butthead.

What kind of trash effort is this by the T-Wolves. It's embarrassing so far.

I agree, but his salary starting next season is going to make it hard for them to fix their other issues in adding a quality big man and strengthening their bench.

 

[Corona]

This game is hideous

 

[TKing]

Draymond carrying this entire game, now Naz Reid limping.

 

[Corona]

cAnt and Corey locked in a battle of who can motivate their teammates more

 

[RJ43]

The hamstring gods have come to collect.

With the way the new aprons and tiers are set, it's going to make it tough for most teams to level up unless it's Bird rights or they're willing to pay hundreds of millions in extra payroll escalators. GSW is one of those teams. Even Boston is going to unload contracts next year under new ownership because of the luxury tax aprons and team restrictions. That said, who else were they going to pick up? Would you be willing to just wash a year of your best player away waiting?

Looks like the wolves won their first round championship and didn’t bother to show up today.

I’m in agreement with you that they absolutely should have traded for Jimmy, just think they should’ve tried to get a friendlier salary is all.

Winning this game without Curry seems almost impossible for the Warios, but Donkey got Bron's HGH shipment last night after the Lakers got eliminated last week.

 

['Rocky']

Anthony Edwards on pace for the worst playoff performance of all time. Right behind Curry's 2-for-15 performance in the Finals.

Without that extension he's probably a cancer or refuses to go there.
