2022 NBA Playoffs thread

I’m a Cavs fan, so it’s strange to say this, but I want the Warriors to curbstomp whoever wins the East just for aesthetic reasons.

 

The Celtics match up well with the Warriors and will beat them in the Finals. They're excellent on defense and with length Golden State just doesn't have. The Dubs are too careless with the ball and will need 4-5 hot shooting nights to have a chance and make up for the turnovers.

I get no joy saying that because, outside of the coach, this is a *tough* Celtics team to root for. The complaining and flopping are bad but combining those with the Boston fan base makes for an undesirable package.

 

Grant Williams is worth rooting for on the C’s.
As a Dubs fan, I hope the Heat can get it done for the reasons you mentioned.

 

This has been the most uninteresting postseason I can remember.

 

I must differ. He complains like Tatum, flails like Smart, and is striving to take the hEarT aNd sOuL mantle from the latter. I admire how much he's improved his shot but overall NAH

 

It's really been lacking in drama - both on-court and off. Shoot, there's nobody even left for Skip Bayless to hate on. Stephen A. even seems subdued. I'm also guessing with the NY and LA teams gone, none of the major sports yakkers wants to spend time learning about any more players than the five they spend 90 percent of the their time talking about.

 

It's been a strange one. The ECF is 3-2 and I really don't know who's going to win, which seems great... except that every individual game is terrible.

 

Nailed it.

Doncic has checked out and Warriors are rolling. Going to be a long night for Mavs if that continues.

 

Chuck you suck will be thrilled he doesn’t have to return to San Francisco
