2020-21 NBA *Playoffs* Thread: Bucks are the champs and you can take that to the bank bromigos (6 Viewers)

I just used some older examples.  I think Kerr is a lot like them too. 

I've always thought that Kerr resembled more of the Popovich style of coaching.

Lebron tweeting that all the injuries are due to coming back too soon from the bubble. 
 

Not sure which injuries would be attributable to something like that. 
 

Not to mention that the players were off from March to July/August and that the regular season was truncated by 10 games and “load management” for certain guys ….

LOL (about Lebron, not your post).

I agree with him. People get used to a routine and then you throw their routine off. 

The less games has no merit. 72 games in just under 5 months vs. 82 games in just over 6 months.

That fits too.

Then you would be wrong too.

Nah, but you do you.

Embiid just crushing Atlanta on both ends of the floor, and the Hawks are missing a bunch of open shots again.

 

[Thunderlips]

Refs have ATL goggles on tonight.  It might not matter but hopefully they'll even these calls out a bit.

Because of the T?

 

[Insein]

Wow. This is an ugly start to the second.

 

[msudaisy26]

Howard   . Slaps a guy in the face getting a rebound and wonders why a foul is called. Now misses a dunk. 

 

[identikit]

Shake hits the shot he could have made the last game.

 

[caustic]

Between Gallinari and Embiid this series has been quite the flop-off.

Might be able to add Trae in there too, but he is much smaller than everyone else and that makes it difficult to tell if he is flopping or just giving 20 to 70 lbs to everyone. 

 

[need2know]

I got my drinks in ahead of time so when the Hawks are getting hammered at halftime I can just go to sleep.

Good night

Trae definitely gets some bs calls

 

[msudaisy26]

All stars do. 

 

[identikit]

Embiid looks like he's ready to throw a punch

 

[identikit]

Atlanta just can't hit open shots.

1 1/2 games' worth of misses.

 

[caustic]

Incredible pass by Trae squandered by Huerter, who has been terrible tonight.

 

[need2know]

All stars do. 

Some of the call on the 3s are bad

 

[need2know]

Embiid looks like he's ready to throw a punch

Hope he saves it for somebody else

Hack-a-Ben in full effect in the 2nd quarter.

 

[msudaisy26]

I give the Hawks front office a lot of credit. They are trying to build around Young's strengths, but right now all those shooters are ice cold. 

 

[Insein]

I just don't understand how someone can be so bad at FTs. 

 

[Insein]

Jo come on man. 

 

[Thunderlips]

Man...Capella...doing everything but using a gun to mug Jo-Jo. 

 

[Insein]

Clear path foul?

 

[msudaisy26]

Easy clear path

 

[identikit]

Yep

 

[Insein]

Unfortunately Ben is shooting them. So that's an easy decision.

 

[msudaisy26]

Capella is obviously scared to put up a shot against Embiid. So unless it is a lob maybe they should stop passing to him. 

 

[Insein]

It's like statistically impossible to be this bad. Some should go in by accident.

 

[identikit]

Unfortunately Ben is shooting them. So that's an easy decision.

Hard to fathom his continual misses.

 

[Thunderlips]

I just don't understand how someone can be so bad at FTs. 

That touch he's putting on it is like he's wearing welders gloves.  

 

[Insein]

Are we really doing this in the 2nd quarter? Hack a Ben for the rest of the game?

 

[Thunderlips]

He'd almost be better trying to just slam it off the glass and get his own rebound.  

 

[msudaisy26]

That touch he's putting on it is like he's wearing welders gloves.  

Maybe he should try that. 

 

[Thunderlips]

Ben should run away from the attempted foul.  

 

[identikit]

Ben should run away from the attempted foul.  

He kind of does that near/underneath the basket

 

[Insein]

This should be a close out game if not for the Sixers mailing in the 2nd half the other night.

 

[Thunderlips]

At least he's getting practice shooting them.  

 

[msudaisy26]

Watching Gallonari trying to get up to full speed to chase down Curry was painful. 

 

[caustic]

This game is miserable. 

 

[msudaisy26]

This game is miserable. 

I went to bed last night with the Bucks up 16. I am scared to do it again. 

 

[Insein]

Sixers need something from Harris second half if they're going to keep this up. 4 points ain't going to cut it.

 

[need2know]

There is a rumor going around that the sixers may know how to play basketball

Not really

   The whole team is playing great

 

[Insein]

They were playing great Monday. Until they weren't. Harris needs to get out of this funk he's been in for 4 quarters now.

 

[identikit]

I think Doc got through to these former hero-ballers
