So basically it’s okc/spurs vs Boston

These playoffs drag on make round 1 best of 3 - they never should have went from 5 to 7 in round one.

Reed Sheppard continues to get crapped on as he helps close game 5 out.

The RDS disease is real.

Wonder what the odds were on a reverse sweep after game 3 ?

Houston should be better than this. I don’t know what the problem is but they are under achieving.

Looks like Denver is too. But with Antman and Vinny going out they have a sliver of a chance. But 3-1 is tough.

Neither team can beat the Spurs though. So it doesn’t really matter.

OKC/Spurs west finals.

East is hard to say. Boston vs who?
Denver plays almost no defense. Even Minnesota said as much bluntly after they took the 3-1 lead (now 3-2). They just try to out shoot everyone and when they aren't hitting, they usually lose.

Udoka limited reed to 10 minutes per game in this series. They lost all 3. Kd goes out and udoka is forced to play reed who is a catalyst to winning both games.

Reed was the difference in the second half of the season run that even put the rockets well into the playoffs. Then they just stop playing him. No wonder everyone thinks udoka is probably fired after this season.

Meh, he was terrible in the first three games and was correctly called out for it. If he played for Duke, would you be posting this (hint: no)? I really could not care less about Reed Sheppard in general (he did stroke it in the Tennessee game, though, but was also the cause for Kentucky losing to Florida).

Reed averaged 31 minutes per game in the first three games, and shot a blistering 12-45 from the field. He played 46 minutes in Game three and shot 6-21. Thanks for playing, though.

You must have me confused with someone cares what you think and that didn't just put your loud mouth on ignore after the period at the end of this sentence. Fix your makeup and hide your crazy.

Gd nitro can’t even have a normal conversation in the nba thread without losing his mind and trolling like a loser.

What a miserable ****!

I still dont know what to make of Reed and his future. There are times his shooting and playmaker look phenomenal.. and there are times he just gets absolutely cooked on defense because he really just doesnt have that NBA athleticism. There were games this series where LA was absolutely hunting for him.

Id love to get FVV back and maybe use Reed more as a bench guy to really cook the 2nd units. I know thats not what he prefer, but otherwise he has to really hit the gym in the off season.

I’m not enjoying these playoffs like I normally do.

Not a lot of interesting games. The east especially.

I am looking forward the west finals. OKC vs SA is going to be good, I think.

I don’t know if Williams is out for the season. If he is then SA probably wins that series.

Talking to friends about Mikal Bridges having a good game (for an otherwise huge fantasy basketball headache of a player), and it reminded me of his time on the Suns when I think the greatest fan fight I;ve ever seen happen.

SUNS IN 4!

Damn. Reed 4-for-19 and 1-for-10 from 3. Wonder if KD will force his way out of Houston this offseason.

Sounds like Luka is out another week at least. Lakers might get one in LA so I'll predict OKC in a gentleman's sweep.

That was a great and-1 by Embiid. He was going to pass it . Took the contact, mid-air, adjusted, got fouled, made the bonus shot.

Mazzulla using a zone to totally throw 76ers off in the 4th.. which he learned from Bob Huggins at WVU when they used it against? Kentucky in the 2010 tournament.

Pain is a flat circle.

Celtic twitter losing their minds right now and they are very much in this game.

Not all of them but a lot of talk of wanting to move on from Mazulla already. He just won’t a title 2 seasons ago and got a 2 seed despite playing like 90% of the season without their MVP candidate.

It’s not just UK fans. And we’re not as bad as they are.

That’s all i got. Go sixers.
