2022 NBA Playoffs thread

What did the tweet say?

 

It was a video clip showing Poole jerking Ja’s knee and Ja typed “broke the code?” A reference to what Kerr said after Payton’s elbow injury.

 

Because nothing is really deleted.

 

And the response from the Warriors.

 

He was smart to delete that. Incredibly dumb to compare battling for a loose ball with taking a cheap shot on a guy up in the air because you got beat on transition.

 

Then there's this from the weather forecaster at Fox 13 in Memphis, who has since deleted his account.

 

Bold move being that wildly racist in Memphis.

Hope Joey is ready for a career change.

 

Anyone ever play basketball? Your buddy ever grab you when going after a loose ball? You ever done that yourself? I have, It’s called accidental contact. That’s not a code violation, that’s life. Clubbing someone from behind? That’s not cool.

 

There's a thread on Reddit asking if GS/Memphis is the most toxic series ever.

The young fans of today would absolutely shit their pants if they saw what the playoffs were like in the 80s/90s.

 

The Mavs ain't ever gonna do shit until they find the next Tyson Chandler and the next Jet Terry to go with Luka. Until then, they're the NBA equivalent to the LA Angels.

 

Did Klay really say “We play the game the right way”?

Did he suddenly forget playing with Draymond and Zaza during this run?

 

Yeah. I love watching the Warriors play basketball, but Draymond is the modern day equivalent of an 80s / 90s enforcer or antagonist. Love him if he's on your team - I have similar thoughts about Marcus Smart - and have a friendly hate of him on other teams. (Note: I think the Morris brothers and Grayson Allen are on a tier lower.)
