04.18.22 | truthfully i've watched very very little nba this season but i'm all in watching these playoffs... nets/celtics was riveting yesterday tatum is so good |
SteakByrnes
04.18.22 | I'm SO mad about luka man lol |
CrisStyles
04.18.22 | The Tatum buzzer-beater yesterday was a heartbreaker |
Trebor.
04.18.22 | That Nets/Celtics game was classic
The winner of that series against the Bucs next round is gonna be wild |
AlexKzillion
04.18.22 | lmao yeah steak think the mavs would beat the jazz in like 5 if they had luka. still convinced he comes back around game 3 or 4 and win the series haha |
Trebor.
04.18.22 | Everyone outside of Utah is sick to death of this Jazz team and yeah it sucks that they might be gifted a round 1 win |
SitarHero
04.18.22 | Why are people sick of the Jazz? I thought they were inoffensive enough to be most people's second team. |
Trebor.
04.18.22 | Good in regular season, bad in the playoffs, Gobert fatigue |
DominionMM1
04.18.22 | nugs got a shit draw and no support coming for jokic |
engleprunt
04.18.22 | Go Dubs
|
SteakByrnes
04.18.22 | Ya I still have the mavs taking it but this could've been an easier time if jkidd wasn't a buffoon and kept luka in that last game when they were doggin the spurs |
AlexKzillion
04.19.22 | Yeah even as a jazz fan I can pretty comfortably say this jazz team has passed its expiration date and needs some sort of shake up. Unless they make some magical run, one of Gobert or Mitchell prob needs to go... and I'd assume Snyder is prob coaching his final games as well.
2020: blows 3-1 lead to Nuggets
2021: blows 2-0 lead to the Kawhi-less Clippers
Some serious nuking potential if the Jazz can't make it through the Luka-less mavs lol |
SteakByrnes
04.19.22 | Brunson vs the jazz rn |
Purpl3Spartan
04.19.22 | Me over hear just wishing the kings would be good again |
SteakByrnes
04.19.22 | brunson bro, fuck yes lmao easy mavs series win now |
YoYoMancuso
04.19.22 | My Wolves are winning in 6 you heard it here first |
Storm In A Teacup
04.19.22 | Philly will blow it unless Giannis/CP3 are injured. Suns championship in 6 vs Bucks. |
AlexKzillion
04.19.22 | Mitchell is so hard to watch when his shot isn't falling lmao... like after five years of never really improving on defense or his playmaking its fair to wonder if he's just a chucker at this point |
Storm In A Teacup
04.19.22 | OKC Thunder about to be a playoff team next year and a title contender in two and champions within 4 years. |
Colton
04.19.22 | storm in a teacup doesn't know basketball at all lol |
YoYoMancuso
04.19.22 | Jalen Brunson went to high school about 10 minutes away from me, and he used to drop 60 on my school regularly lmao. Nice to see him have a huge moment on the big stage |
Storm In A Teacup
04.19.22 | I actually do, Corkon. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.19.22 | Warriors are so iffy right now. What they are doing to Nuggets is brutal but even tho warriors arent at full strength the Nuggets are a shell of themselves |
Storm In A Teacup
04.19.22 | I think Deandre Ayton is the key to the Suns beating Warriors. Book, Paul and Steph, Klay can cancel each other out probably 4 games out of 7 and both teams will have to rely on Ayton Poole etc |
Storm In A Teacup
04.19.22 | Celtics are also a big threat this year. Happy to see Smart win dpoy. A Celtics Suns finals would be amazing. |
Trebor.
04.19.22 | DPOY for Smart is kind of a joke |
pjquinones747
04.19.22 | it'll be suns/warriors and heat/bucks in the conference finals and who comes out of those two series is beyond me to predict but im a suns fan so i know the result i want. Mikal Bridges was robbed of DPOY so i guess we gotta get my man a chip. |
Eakflanderyof
04.19.22 | Probably gonna be a repeat of finals last year tbh. And I think bucks will take it again |
pjquinones747
04.19.22 | suns got way better bigs behind ayton this year (mcgee, biyombo) and the bucks roster is virtually unchanged if i remember right. if its a rematch itll go to 7 this time. suns are haunted by losing 4 straight so they wont let that happen again. |
pjquinones747
04.19.22 | i honestly am worried about the warriors though. we split the regular season series and it was very contentious. |
AlexKzillion
04.19.22 | I want a Suns/Warriors series so bad. I actually like the warriors again hahaha |
Storm In A Teacup
04.19.22 | Suns warriors would be must watch. |
pjquinones747
04.19.22 | I think its an inevitable matchup. the West seems stacked until you get to those two. they're head and shoulders above the rest imo. |
SitarHero
04.19.22 | "DPOY for Smart is kind of a joke"
Haven't really been keeping track this season, but the dude has been one of the best defenders in the league for a while now. Supposedly this year has just been more consistent than the past years but he definitely impacts games on the defensive end.
|
CottonSalad
04.19.22 | Warriors and Bucks finals? Bucks take it all?
Not a Bucks fan lol...would love to see Durant and Irving really pull it off, just for the aftermath - but that timeline is somethin evil |
Ryus
04.19.22 | finals rematch this year, with the suns taking it |
SteakByrnes
04.19.22 | feel so bad for jokic man. Dude carried this sorryass bunch of bums to the playoffs and now the warriors are just feeding on them |
SitarHero
04.19.22 | CP3's body isn't making it to the finals. |
SaveBandit
04.19.22 | Feel like it's going to be Suns vs the winner of Nets/Celtics in the finals honestly. That's just my initial hunch though. These playoffs have been a blast so far, this is definitely the most interested I've been in the playoffs in at least a few years. |
YoYoMancuso
04.19.22 | I don't think anyone in the East can beat Giannis 4 times |
Devastator
04.19.22 | Let's go Wolves baby. First year since '04 they haven't been an embarrassment. |
pjquinones747
04.19.22 | I have the Wolves upsetting the Grizz. Would be super fun to see them surprise people. |
SaveBandit
04.19.22 | Idk man.. I think a healthy Celtics team makes it REAL difficult on Milwaukee. They're probably the only team in league that has the length to match up with the Bucks.
And hell yeah man, happy for the Wolves. It's nice to see so many of these no-ring teams making the playoff push this year. |
pjquinones747
04.19.22 | Suns/Celtics would be just as exciting as a rematch of last year. I feel like the Nets are gonna make a strong push though, don't count them out. |
YoYoMancuso
04.19.22 | Wolves will only be better next year too. Edwards will keep getting better and the whole roster except Beverley is young (Jaden McDaniels will be scary too) |
pjquinones747
04.19.22 | Yeah Edwards is fun to watch. KAT talks too much shit but we all know he balls haha |
Storm In A Teacup
04.19.22 | I wouldn't count the nets out either, but you know, fuck the nets |
SaveBandit
04.19.22 | Yeah basically Storm lol. |
SteakByrnes
04.20.22 | My big upset picks were the nugs over the warriors and hawks over the heat lol |
YoYoMancuso
04.20.22 | The Heat are so annoying |
Eakflanderyof
04.20.22 | If anything, this shows me the heat definitely aren't worthy of that number one seed. Hawks are unhealthy, down their best defender/rebounder and it's taken a career game for butler to win this in the 4th |
SteakByrnes
04.20.22 | ya the heat are fake, same with the bulls and jazz |
Eakflanderyof
04.20.22 | Yeah heat will get handled next round |
dedex
04.20.22 | still watch Tatum's spin every hour
shit the Pels won a game? bye bye perfect bracket |
YoYoMancuso
04.20.22 | Scott Foster must be stopped |
AlexKzillion
04.20.22 | isn't scott foster the ref who was betting on games in the 00s??? how is he still even employed after that lmao |
YoYoMancuso
04.20.22 | Tim Donaghy is the one that got caught, but he made around 130 phone calls to Scott Foster in a 2-week span during that time. Dude is definitely involved in some sort of betting |
pjquinones747
04.21.22 | Scott Foster can eat shorts |
YoYoMancuso
04.21.22 | Booker out for 2-3 weeks zoinks scoob |
Hyperion1001
04.21.22 | nets are gonna get swept imo. |
SitarHero
04.21.22 | "Booker out for 2-3 weeks zoinks scoob"
Honestly surprised it's not CP3's body crapping out. |
SteakByrnes
04.21.22 | That's a huge shame, I love Booker |
SitarHero
04.21.22 | Naah fuck him #TeamTheRaptor |
YoYoMancuso
04.21.22 | “Nets are gonna get swept imo”
But Ben Simmons is coming back in game 4 to further stagnate their lifeless 4th quarter offense! How could you say such a thing? |
Hyperion1001
04.21.22 | his presence will make the Celtics have to think twice about doubling and tripling KD!
(obvious sarcasm but you never know on this board.) |
Trebor.
04.22.22 | lol Jazz |
Nipple
04.22.22 | lol Nipple |
SteakByrnes
04.22.22 | y'all see that catastrophic collapse by the wolves lmao
also go mavs |
Eakflanderyof
04.22.22 | Now Middleton is injured. Things are getting a little more interesting. Maybe no bucks suns rematch after all |
AlexKzillion
04.22.22 | between the luka and booker injuries the jazz should waltz to the wcf but nah they're about to get gentlemen's swept by jalen brunson and maxi kleiber |
Nipple

Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | That's what you get when you're the evil no good Jazz. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Jesus the one year everyone goes down is the year James Harden and Joell Embiid team up. Maybe the injury gods are sacrificing so many stars because thats how much power is needed to keep Embiid healthy. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Fuck Scott Foster and fuck the bald one. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | I wish Game of Zones was still around this season would have definitely been the best material to work with. |

04.22.22 | The shitty animation for Games of Zones is so off-putting
|
SitarHero
04.22.22 | "fuck the bald one."
You better not be talking about Alex Caruso or I will come to your house and drink all your milk and leave the empty cartons in the fridge. |

YoYoMancuso
04.22.22 | "y'all see that catastrophic collapse by the wolves lmao"
i'm so pissed lol |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | The fact that they would go far enough to have a catastrophic collapse is shocking itself. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Holy shit 12 points in the 2nd quarter and 12 points in the 4th quarter. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Idk who coaches the wolves but having karl anthony towns go 3 for 4 and losing a game like that is obscene. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Prolly shouldn't be coaching. Also quinn snyder shouldn't coach either. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Mavs about to go up 2-1 🤣 |
nash1311
04.22.22 | Lollllll these wolves takes did not age well lmfao. Poo ass wolves |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | If the wolves dont win another game in the series then maybe the owner and gm will panick break up the team and give us Thunder one of their starters for our second best pick in this draft. 🤣🤣🤣 |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | I have faith that Josh Giddey, SGA, Lu Dort, Poku, Tre Mann, Roby will be much better in 4 years than the wolves ended up being. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Thunder are taking part in both summer leagues and Aleksej Pokusevski will play both summer leagues so he should be even more improved. Our baby Giannis is gonna be a star 😭😭😭😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩 |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Tre Mann is maybe better than SGA. Giddey is maybe better than Westbrook |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Oh the future is bright for the Thunder! |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Lu Dort will be the third guard after Peyton and Smart to win dpoy |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Tho will he end up a small forward or not? |
YoYoMancuso
04.22.22 | "Idk who coaches the wolves but having karl anthony towns go 3 for 4 and losing a game like that is obscene."
Let the Grizzlies go on a 24-0 run without calling a timeout and still had 2 timeouts left at the end of the game. Dude sucks |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | Nuggets on a 21-6 run right now |
Storm In A Teacup
04.22.22 | And Poole looks in a lot of pain |

robertsona
04.22.22 | I like that this was the highest rated opening wknd since 2011 for the nba playoffs. nba on a come up even with these injuries |
SaveBandit
04.22.22 | I like your predictions my dude. I'd go C's in 6 over the Suns though. But maybe my bias is showing lol |
pjquinones747
04.22.22 | And I'm a suns fan so there's definitely bias on my end too lol |
teamster
04.22.22 | I like my Bucks to squeeze by the Bulls but there is no way they beat any of the 3 teams left in the East without K Midd. |
pjquinones747
04.22.22 | Is he out long term? |
YoYoMancuso
04.22.22 | "Grizz over Wolves (sorry YoYo) in 6"
at this point we deserve to lose this series, pain |
teamster
04.22.22 | Midd is out 3-4 weeks |
pjquinones747
04.22.22 | @teamster I'm sure my fellow Suns faithful are okay with this turn of events. |
Hyperion1001
04.22.22 | honestly i have grizz celtics finals. |
YoYoMancuso
04.23.22 | Scottie Barnes wins ROTY, glad the media made the right pick |

04.23.22 | Nice. That's who I wanted Thunder to pick. Happy with Josh Giddey though. |
AlexKzillion
04.23.22 | "I like that this was the highest rated opening wknd since 2011 for the nba playoffs. nba on a come up even with these injuries"
Yepp this is by far the most interesting/entertaining first round since I started following the league |
Eakflanderyof
04.23.22 | Hawks heat series may get more interesting now if lowry is out and Capela potentially comes back |
AlexKzillion
04.23.22 | Only thing that would improve things (and I feel like a complete fucking knob for saying this) is if the Lakers somehow got the eighth seed and (most likely) completely melted down against a booker-less Suns team
Though it has been extremely nice to get a breather from the lakers discourse |
Eakflanderyof
04.23.22 | Yeah, I for one, was extremely happy to have a playoff year where the discussion doesn't revolve around lebron |
AlexKzillion
04.23.22 | Mitchell to Gobert alley oop to win the game after Mitchell refuses to pass to him the entire season lmaooooo straight out the plot of a canceled netflix original |
nash1311
04.24.22 | Nah fuck the lakers/Lebron any playoffs they miss is a good one |
SaveBandit
04.24.22 | [2] thank you Nash |
Eakflanderyof
04.24.22 | Maybe it's just recency bias or I'm being overly optimistic but it seems like the league is figuring out how to beat these super teams by just playing good basketball. It seems like people are talking about the importance of good defense more this year |
Trebor.
04.24.22 | nooooo not the Celtics in the finals noooooo |
AlexKzillion
04.24.22 | Tbh I'm rooting for the Celtics to go all the way at this point. Death to all the super teams |
nash1311
04.24.22 | Agreed Eak and yes death to super teams. Ruins the league. I also feel like Lebron made that “cool” to do as well so I hate him for that also lol |

04.26.22 | Giannis has gotta be the undisputed king of the league now right? |
pjquinones747
04.26.22 | Work gave me a free ticket to the Suns game 5 tonight. Last time I saw the Suns it was 2018 so they were still awful and we got blown out by the Pels, so it's redemption time! |
Ryus
04.26.22 | damn thats hype |
pjquinones747
04.26.22 | Too bad my first ever jersey purchase earlier in the month was Booker. The injury might be all my fault! |
Ryus
04.26.22 | i know how u feel
the first knicks jersey i bought was porzingis
that didnt really work out |
Hyperion1001
04.26.22 | if the sixers get reverse swept this will be the greatest playoffs I’ve ever witnessed and it’s not even to the second round yet lol |
pjquinones747
04.26.22 | Guy's career has been hectic to say the least |
pjquinones747
04.26.22 | Something about watching Sixers fans suffer just makes me happy. Maybe its the MVP votes Embiid got over Booker. Raps in 7 |
nash1311
04.26.22 | Yeah I want sixers to choke too |
Ryus
04.26.22 | that would be a beautiful thing |
Storm In A Teacup
04.26.22 | I hate the nets players except claxton too but if Simmons comes back full time and Claxton has had another year to develop you would think they'd definitely be a playoff contender. |
pjquinones747
04.26.22 | If the superteam stays together that long. Someone will whine their way out before they get a fair chance. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.26.22 | KD had his third highest scoring season ever this year w 29.9 so i dont think he will be an old 34.5 year old next playoffs. Fuck the nets and kd tho |
Storm In A Teacup
04.26.22 | Possibly pjq. Maybe even likely |
AlexKzillion
04.26.22 | Westbrook for Simmons straight up who says no? |
pjquinones747
04.26.22 | Lmao now that would be a hilarious trade |
AlexKzillion
04.26.22 | I. Westbrook for supposedly washed CP3 on a max
II. Westbrook for John Wall
III. Westbrook for Ben Simmons
It's like poetry, it rhymes |
YoYoMancuso
04.26.22 | "if the sixers get reverse swept this will be the greatest playoffs I’ve ever witnessed and it’s not even to the second round yet lol"
The playoffs have been so amazing ever since the KD Warriors broke up. So many iconic moments since then:
-OG buzzer beater with 0.5 left that suddenly turned a potential 3-0 deficit into a 7-game series
-Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell dropping 50 on each other for a whole series
-The Clippers' historic choke job against the Nuggets
-The Hawks cinderella story, Trae Young becoming the Knicks' dad, and Ben Simmons' hilarious downfall
-Giannis dropping 50 to win a ring
-Lakers missing the play-in and Nets getting swept |
pjquinones747
04.26.22 | Lakers and Nets getting punked is good for the NBA. Now gimme the eliminations of GS and Philly and we have a great finals ahead of us. |
AlexKzillion
04.26.22 | Would also add the Heat's bubble run and last years instant classic Bucks/Nets series to that as well... nba playoffs are must watch now even the 1/8 series |
nash1311
04.26.22 | Yes. Super teams ruin the league. All we want is some good ass competition and we’re finally getting it |
pjquinones747
04.26.22 | A little too much competition if you ask me. These pesky Pelicans need to stop pretending to be for real so my Suns can have a shot at another chip. |
YoYoMancuso
04.26.22 | "Would also add the Heat's bubble run and last years instant classic Bucks/Nets series to that as well... nba playoffs are must watch now even the 1/8 series"
Both valid, watching Butler carry in the Finals was amazing even though I hate him as a Wolves fan |
nash1311
04.26.22 | Go Pels! |
pjquinones747
04.26.22 | They have a very bright future ahead especially if Zion can stay healthy. Ingram-McCullum-Williamson can take this team to 40+ wins easy next year. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.26.22 | Breaking news it looks like westbrook is trying to come back to the Thunder. Only way im okay with that is if lakers buy him out and thunder sign russ on a veteran minimum and play him 12 to 18 minutes off the bench. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.26.22 | He has deleted all lakers wizards and rockets stuff on his social medias and only thunder remain |
Ryus
04.26.22 | "Only way im okay with that is if lakers buy him out and thunder sign russ on a veteran minimum and play him 12 to 18 minutes off the bench."
i have a feeling that that isnt how its going to go down lol |
Storm In A Teacup
04.26.22 | Correct. Lmao. But I know for a fact Thunder wont want him back except as a small role player. We had Al Horford and decided to train him as a coach instead play him so young players could develop. Speaking of, very happy for Al's success and hope he gets a chip with Cs this year. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.26.22 | If the Thunders 10 young players all get 10% better next year and all stay reasonably healthy wr would have absolutely zero use for Russ. Hard to turn down signing your former mvp and franchise player on a veteran minimum tho. |
SteakByrnes
04.26.22 | Russ is still my favorite player but this last season was very hard to defend him lol |
Storm In A Teacup
04.26.22 | Same for me. My favorite player ever. I watched his exit interview with the Lakers and it is the second worst moment ive seen of his career. Second was losing to the trail blazers and lillard shot. |
YoYoMancuso
04.26.22 | he's an absolutely transcendent athlete and talent but watching him be such a baby has been terrible. compare that with the mentality of players who shoulder the whole burden of winning like Giannis or even retired legends like Kobe |
nash1311
04.27.22 | “Russ is still my favorite player but this last season was very hard to defend him lol”
Hard agree. Love him so much but this year was brutal. |
nash1311
04.27.22 | T wolves choked again lol. Ja too much |

pjquinones747
04.27.22 | So my team can have one less game of wear on their bodies going into the next series. Only advantage of a game 7 would be more time for Book to get right before the Mavs but I'd rather my team not leave us stressing about a potential game 7 lol. |
pjquinones747
04.27.22 | Even so, Book was recorded yelling "I'M BACK!" after the game ended so lots of people speculating he'll return for game 6 anyways. |
SteakByrnes
04.27.22 | mavs vs suns is my number 1 fave team vs number 2 fave team lol |
pjquinones747
04.27.22 | Which is which? It would certainly be a far better series than Pels v Mavs lol |
SteakByrnes
04.27.22 | mavs 1 suns 2 |
pjquinones747
04.27.22 | Could you believe that my number 2 team was the Bucks before the 2021 playoffs? :') |
pjquinones747
04.28.22 | Book is back
Suns in 6 |

04.29.22 | Hell fucking yeah. |

04.29.22 | Fuck the process. |
nash1311
04.29.22 | Yeah I think Gobert or Mitchell are gone, plus Snyder. That Conley walk was awful and then wide open Bogdan brick 🧱
Lol Booker wasn’t the reason Suns won in 6 but yeah. Pels had a good run |
YoYoMancuso
04.29.22 | West is going to be an absolute bloodbath next year with all the already good teams + Kawhi and Zion returning |
nash1311
04.29.22 | Yep and I am HERE for it. East was already super competitive this year too
We all gotta be scared about KD to Celtics though rofl |
AlexKzillion
04.29.22 | zion returns after him and mitchell force their way to the knicks prob |
pjquinones747
04.29.22 | Suns > Mavs in 6 |
Storm In A Teacup
04.29.22 | Zion to Knicks would be hilarious if he really is not taking care of his health like those punks and people on tv suggest. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.29.22 | I hope the Sund thrash the Mavs, and then thrash the Warriors, and then thrash 76ers. |
pjquinones747
04.29.22 | Even with DMitch and Zion the Knicks would still find a way to be mediocre. |
pjquinones747
04.29.22 | @Storm expect it. Although I expect a 7-game series against Boston to get the chip instead |
SteakByrnes
04.30.22 | Epic Wolves collapse once again lmao what a travesty that team was in the late game. Ja played like hotdog water the whole series and the wolves still lost |
nash1311
04.30.22 | Big [2]. So glad I’m not a wolves fan. Terrible |
pjquinones747
05.03.22 | I may have been wrong about Suns > Mavs in 6. Mavs looked terrible last night. Luka got 45 and it did nothing for them lol. |
Storm In A Teacup
05.03.22 | Tyrese Maxey giving us all what we want to see last night 🤣🤣🤣 |
pjquinones747
05.03.22 | I saw parts of that game. Hopefully Embiid can get back soon enough to keep it a competitive series cuz that looked bleak as well. |
Storm In A Teacup
05.03.22 | Did you see maxey so mad at harden? Harden tried following him around the bench and maxeu kept moving to get away from him 🤣🤣 |
teamster
05.04.22 | If you didn’t see that 2nd bucks/celts game coming you have not followed the NBA long enough.
Best of 5 series now with bucks home court. Can’t expect Celtics to go nuclear from 3 like that 3 more times so I am sticking with the bucks. |
pjquinones747
05.04.22 | I still feel like the bucks celts series could go for 7. genuinely unsure as of now who takes it. |
SaveBandit
05.04.22 | I've still got C's in 7. But this series is going to be a fucking rock fight. Can't wait for game 3. |
AlexKzillion
05.04.22 | Yeah still leaning Boston cause without Middleton the Buck's half court offense seems insanely stagnant... like its just a Giannis free for all |
pjquinones747
05.04.22 | would love me a bucks elimination. lets goooo |
Hyperion1001
05.04.22 | i like the grizz but fuck brooks tbh |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | Poor Steven Adams 😪 |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | You know things have gotten crazy when the Heat are closer to being the good guys than the bad guys compared to the 76ers, Nets. |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | They villains still for sure tho. The most dangerous guy is the small white dude who is more gangsta than Kendrick Perkins ever pretended to be. |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | What a team tho, Lowry, Herro, Butler, Adebayo, Oladipo 🤯 |
SaveBandit
05.05.22 | The Heat are wild man. They might be a little douchey and unlikeable but they are fun as fuck to watch and they play hard. One of those situations where it's like I don't like you, but I have to respect you. Ya know? |
SteakByrnes
05.05.22 | "Poor Steven Adams 😪"
ikr, I love that man and I wish he was playing but I get why they aren't |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | He is supposed to be playing. He has Covid. |
SteakByrnes
05.05.22 | oh shit really damn, I thought they were just doing what they did last round |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | Nah they were going to use him. It’s actually brilliant because most seasons with the Thunder Adams was broken down at the end of every season. New Zealanders are big and strong but they have a lesser endurance and he fit the stereotype. Thunder learned it a few years too late. |
SteakByrnes
05.05.22 | I loved watching opposing point guards try and defend Russ as he's going 80mph down the court only to be met with an Adams screen at half court, just absolutely laying them out |
Trebor.
05.05.22 | Embiid going down is such a bummer
Adams was def not going to get much play time against the small ass Warriors anyway |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | I called Embiid going down. It happened too often early in career to not continue. |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | Adams numbers as a grizz are pretty phenomenal tho. Most rebounds and assists per game in his career. Was a better offensive rebounder in one season than any season Zach Randolph ever had. |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | I also loved Adams screens. Probably his best quality as a player. |
Trebor.
05.05.22 | yeah he would have been great 5-10 years ago but not so much in the modern playoffs |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | This is probably Doc Rivers fault. You let a higher risk of injury superstar play more games and minutes than they ever had done before in their career. To me if I was the head coach that would have been obvious common sense. |
Eakflanderyof
05.05.22 | "I called Embiid going down. It happened too often early in career to not continue."
This was just a freak accident though. Anyone can get elbowed in the face |
AlexKzillion
05.05.22 | lol aren't embiid's injuries a thumb injury and a concussion though? like not overuse injuries
oh wait yeah what eak said |
Storm In A Teacup
05.05.22 | The Greek Freak and the Freakuently Injured. One is a champion. The other has James Harden as a teammate, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

05.16.22 | holy fuck mavs |
CrisStyles
05.16.22 | That was probably the most embarrassing playoff performance I've ever seen by a team, especially in a Game 7 |
YoYoMancuso
05.16.22 | Suns embarrassed themselves but Luka is that dude don’t get it twisted |
SitarHero
05.16.22 | Lmao suns and sixers eliminated. Im 100% ok with this. |
SitarHero
05.16.22 | We shouldve seen this coming all along tbh. The minute Booker had the Raptor ejected for distracting him we shouldve known he wasnt cut out for playoff bball. |

05.16.22 | let's fucking go luka, now go beat the warriors |
nash1311
05.16.22 | Mavs and Celts Les geaux |
SaveBandit
05.16.22 | I had Celts and Suns in the finals, but I'm totally fine with the Mavs being there instead lol. Never been a CP3 fan |
AlexKzillion
05.16.22 | I really wanted to see Warriors/Suns but I think this Mavs team is super interesting. Seems like everything is just clicking for them while its kinda not for the Warriors. |
Storm In A Teacup
05.16.22 | This is all crazy. A Mavericks Celtics final would be nuts |
pjquinones747
05.16.22 | Wouldn't be a season of Arizona sports without an amazing team absolutely shitting the bed in the playoffs. RIP Suns |
SteakByrnes
05.16.22 | now root for the mavs with me pj |
AlexKzillion
05.16.22 | Rooting for celtics mavs finals, I'd be fine with any of the remaining teams tho |
pjquinones747
05.16.22 | Can't. Must watch the Warriors wipe that stupid grin off of Luka's face. |
nash1311
05.16.22 | He has a grin cause he just had the suns eat his shit |
pjquinones747
05.16.22 | Warriors in 5 |
Eakflanderyof
05.17.22 | I think golden state are good but warriors in 5... lol naw. Maybe in 7. They aren't what they used to be and got beat by like 40 pts by a Memphis team without ja |
Hyperion1001
05.17.22 | I’m all in on luka my man is the TRUTH
also pat bev waking up at 4:30 this morning to talk shit about cp3 all day is absolutely hilarious. a true hater. |
pjquinones747
05.17.22 | pat bev just mad he got 40 dropped on his head by CP3 in the WCF last year LMAO |
SteakByrnes
05.17.22 | I can't stand pat bev so seeing him all over the place yesterday sucked lol |
Anthracks
05.17.22 | booker is my favorite player rn but last game really exposed some weaknesses of his. namely his lack of mental game (back to back emotional / mental collapses in game 7s) and his inability to overcome double teams. i remember watching kobe on his second ring run and every team would throw countless defenders on him and nothing would stop him from making shots. book just seemed to give up when he got doubled. |
SaveBandit
05.17.22 | Pat is a clown. He thinks everyone takes him seriously like he's some franchise player lol. |
pjquinones747
05.17.22 | He WISHES he could have CP3's career lmao |

05.26.22 | These conference finals have fucking sucked lol |
Trebor.
05.26.22 | Heat fell apart hard
Hopefully Warriors - Celtics finals won't suck |
Eakflanderyof
05.26.22 | I feel like a heat vs warriors finals would be way more entertaining than warriors vs Celtics but I could be wrong. Warriors will probably dominate either though. Could be a boring finals |
nash1311
05.26.22 | Hard disagree. Heat have 0 offense outside JB and Herro and he’s hit or miss and injured. Celtics Warriors will be way better |
Slex
05.26.22 | Yeah these 2 series have been a lot less entertaining than the previous rounds
Does indeed seem like GS is gonna steamroll their way to the trophy |
SaveBandit
05.26.22 | Can't wait for GSW and Celts in the finals. Incredible offense meets incredible defense. The old saying though... defense wins championships. |
Slex
05.26.22 | I don't hate GS like most, I am extremely impressed that they're back where they are after all the injuries and whatnot, but yeah I'd definitely root for Boston |
Hyperion1001
05.26.22 | doubt I’ll even watch a gsw Celtics finals. couldn’t possibly care less about either team. |
Slex
05.26.22 | Best offense v best defense, don't understand how that lacks appeal tbh |
nash1311
05.26.22 | Agree I think finals will be good. Better than this round for sure |
SaveBandit
05.26.22 | I'm curious to see how guys like Steph and Klay handle being guarded by the team with the best 3pt defense. It's not going to be easy for them to be matched up with guys like Smart and Tatum for a series. Then you get past those guys and you have big Al and Rob Williams. I'm just excited to see how that series plays out... but also both teams gotta take care of business in the conference finals first. Trying not to count the eggs before they hatch lol |
Storm In A Teacup
05.26.22 | Celtics in 6!! 🤑🤑🤑 |
Storm In A Teacup
05.26.22 | I’m leaning towards Jabari Smith for Thunders #2 pick. I feel like we may already have a version of Chet Holmgren in Pokusveski and the combo of frailty and disappearing against the toughest college teams makes me think Chet as a bust. Banchero…kind of the same but mostly just disappearing thing again. |
Trebor.
05.26.22 | Poku lol get real
Jabari is way too safe to take top 3, dude has a very low ceiling. You need a superstar, especially the Thunder who are coming off having Durant/Harden/Westbrook. Jabari is gonna be the third best guy on a good team some day |
SteakByrnes
05.26.22 | I cannot stand poku |
nash1311
05.26.22 | Chet will def be a bust |
Storm In A Teacup
05.26.22 | "Poku lol get real"
I am. Chet is a bust if number 1 expectations are put on him and Poku will be just as good as him. Poku is 4 months older than Holmgren and has been developed by the NBA for 2 years. Poku's overall season stat averages are irrelevant and the plan from the beginning was his first years in the NBA are all just training for the future. |
Slex
05.26.22 | Every one of yall put yr energy into rooting for the Mavs tonite thanks |
pjquinones747
05.26.22 | Nah, as much as it would help the Celtics/Heat to have the Warriors have to play another game, i'd rather watch Luka get humbled tonight. |
YoYoMancuso
05.28.22 | Butler with the best game of his career to force game 7 |
Eakflanderyof
05.28.22 | People were telling me I was wrong about the heat warriors being a better series than Celtics warriors would be. I stand by my comment. Heat are tougher. I will say the heat do get the most favorable officiating of any team I've ever seen I think though |
CrisStyles
05.28.22 | Butler was incredible, just hope it's not a repeat of the bubble where he had the triple double in Game 5 of the Finals only for the Heat to get blown out in Game 6 because they ran out of gas. They can't afford Bam to only take six shots again. |
RabbitInTheGround
05.28.22 | First game in the series where I felt both teams played well lol |
YoYoMancuso
06.30.22 | LET THE KD SWEEPSTAKES BEGIN |

06.30.22 | The snake wants to go to a 67 win team |
YoYoMancuso
06.30.22 | other than players resigning or getting supermaxes, Ingles to Milwaukee is the only major thing I've seen so far |

YoYoMancuso
06.30.22 | oh and PJ Tucker yeah |
Hyperion1001
06.30.22 | is Kyrie the most toxic player in history? like actual women beaters and shit aside, from a pure basketball standpoint, is there anyone who comes close?
i don’t understand why any team would want him at this point. |
SteakByrnes
06.30.22 | KD a bitch |
Storm In A Teacup
06.30.22 | I'd say yes but you have to qualify with a "Kyrie is the most 'publically' toxic player in history". |
Trebor.
06.30.22 | He's a basket case |

07.01.22 | KD a bitch [2]

Storm In A Teacup
07.01.22 | Why would anyone want Kyrie [3] |
Hyperion1001
07.01.22 | i honestly don’t really mind KD he’s a genuine hooper who just doesn’t have much self awareness.
Kyrie is the most annoying person in professional sports and I hope they ship him to Sacramento so he just quits basketball forever. |

07.01.22 | honestly Kyrie going to the lakers and ruining Lebron’s final seasons would also be pure entertainment. |

07.01.22 | Yes indeed. And what would be even more hilarious is if the Nets win the championship next year with Westbrook and Ben Simmons. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
Storm In A Teacup
07.01.22 | A starting 5 of Westbrook, Simmons, Deandre Ayton, Seth Curry, and Harris oh my |
Storm In A Teacup
07.01.22 | Westbrook would have to concede rebounds to Ayton, layups to Simmons, 3s to Harris and Curry, and Westbrook should run around passing to all of them for assists. 0 3 pointers attempted all season by Westbrook and Simmons. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.01.22 | I mean, in 2K that's a starting 5 of 4 players in the 80s and a Seth Curry who probably should be an 80 (he's a 78 with 20 badges) |

07.14.22 | I highly doubt that happens. There's a reason Kevin Durant listed the Suns and there hasn't been a trade yet. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | My bet is a 3 or 4 team trade
Jazz get Ben Simmons and a few draft picks
Suns get Durant
Nets get Ayton
|
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | Knicks might get involved because they're absolutely incapable of anything great. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | I can see them throwing some picks and players and settling for Ben Simmons. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

07.14.22 | I hate the Jazz so much but it's almost cruel to think of a team having Ben Simmons and Patricia Beverly on the same team. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | But they've had Rudy Gobert and Mitchell ao it's almost just as bad. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | Thunder will be in the play in and probably win this year. Looking forward to it. Whoever is number 1 in the west will not be infallible either. I ain't scared of Chris Paul Booker and Durant on a team. |
YoYoMancuso
07.14.22 | The Suns have 8 hours to get that deal together or else Ayton can't be moved at all |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | They are going to match his contract either way. |
pjquinones747
07.14.22 | I'm super confused on the rules for trading assets that have just signed an offer sheet. Some are saying there's a rule preventing trades for resigning FAs, and another thing i heard was that that only applies for brand new FAs and not returning guys like Ayton. Either way this Ayton Pacers news could be a death knell for KD trade talks depending on how that rule actually works. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | Woj says |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | It's a rookie max signing. So yeah. Can't trade Mitchell to neets without trading simmons etc etc. Can't trade for rookie max extension players when you have at least one already. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | Lmao Pacers wasting their time. |
Trebor.
07.14.22 | The trade rules are really stupid |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | Pacers are underrated as one of the most incompetent front offices. They are on the same level as the Knicks. |
YoYoMancuso
07.14.22 | Yeah so Suns will match and be stuck with Ayton until January |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | I wouldn't say stuck is the right word. He's a top 60 player in the NBA. |
YoYoMancuso
07.14.22 | fair but Monty Williams apparently hates him so that can't be good for morale lol |
Storm In A Teacup
07.14.22 | Im sure knowing he can leave in January and they get back a grear player is enough for them to coexist for 4 or 5 months |
Storm In A Teacup
