2021 NBA Playoffs Gamethread

[k-factory]

I’m rooting for Phoenix but their stars are sooo sloppy. Their role players are keeping them in it

 

[Ale Xander]

Wisconsinite maybe not so embedded?

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Frank The Freakin Tank giving the Suns quality minutes! This series has everything!!

 

[Jimbodandy]

Giannis iso on Kaminsky:

“I think I’ll launch a 3!”

I'll take "How do you know when a guy is gassed for $200".

 

[ifmanis5]

Portis is Gowron.

 

[Kliq]

Portis definitely got the Daniel Theis treatment there.

 

[Ale Xander]

C'mon Suns, just win the quarter please.

 

[nattysez]

Pat Connaughton getting major minutes is killing the Bucks.

Booker has learned all of Paul's dirty tricks.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Bucks are winning this, maybe even comfortably

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Tank with the YMCA move in an NBA Finals.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This is awesome

 

[Ale Xander]

Portis legit has crazy eyes

 

[TripleOT]

Portis is good crazy.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Portis legit has crazy eyes

Crazy in general. Never seen an opponent block a player from getting to the ref to debate a call.

 

[k-factory]

Gotta respect Portis. Guy coolly makes his shot and takes no bs from Paul. Actually gets under Paul’s skin as he laughs him off rather than the expected inverse

 

[ifmanis5]

Celtics are missing a Portis-type energy guy.

 

[JCizzle]

Would not fuck with Portis

 

[ifmanis5]

Giannis two huge plays.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That block of Booker tho

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

OMG another challenge that shouldn't exist. I'm kind of leaning towards the Suns but that stupid "it went off the offensive player's fingertips last" call annoys the hell out of me.

 

[JCizzle]

Giannis isn’t letting them lose tonight. He’s incredible.

 

[Ale Xander]

Best thing to come out of Greece, Giannis, better yogurt, or drama/tragedy?

 

[Red Averages]

When this game ends the real analysis will be why the Suns didn’t attack Middleton with 3 fouls midway through the 2nd and why Anton getting his 5th was the “BANG!!!” Moment of this series.

 

[loshjott]

Best thing to come out of Greece, Giannis, better yogurt, or drama/tragedy?

Democracy?

 

[Ale Xander]

Crazy in general.

Confirmed

 

[thehitcat]

Democracy?

I think he means that we still have today...

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Ball Don’t Lie. Never ever doubt this.

 

[Kliq]

Booker is such a baby.

 

[Red Averages]

This game is over.

 

[ElUno20]

Please eliminate the offense hook arm for a foul. It ruins the game

 

[ifmanis5]

Best thing to come out of Greece, Giannis, better yogurt, or drama/tragedy?

The word.

 

[JCizzle]

It’s a foul, but Giannis is unstoppable

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Obvious no foul - Whistle

Obvious foul - No Whistle

Oh boy here we go.

 

[CreedBratton]

Scott foster. The worst ref in the history of sports. The suns never had a chance when they assigned him tonight. Might as well have forfeited.

I’m really hoping the NBA is serious about reining in that type of stuff next year.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Giannis isn't just throwing dirt on his naysayers. He is sending them to the earth's core.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

This is going to be an incredible freakin finish!!!

What a product!!!

 

[Kliq]

Scott foster. The worst ref in the history of sports. The suns never had a chance when they assigned him tonight. Might as well have forfeited.

Wait you think PHOENIX is being screwed?

 

[ifmanis5]

Giannis 16-17 FT is pretty crazy.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Scott foster. The worst ref in the history of sports. The suns never had a chance when they assigned him tonight. Might as well have forfeited.

I thought Scott Foster was the ref the league assigned when they wanted the series to continue.

 

[Ale Xander]

That hand is f'ed up

 

[Ale Xander]

Got to get Payne and Ayton in there

 

[JCizzle]

Huge flop

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Terrible offensive foul call there.

 

[ElUno20]

Bucks just missed like 3 possessions to end this

 

[Red Averages]

I thought Scott Foster was the ref the league assigned when they wanted the series to continue.

He tried…

 

[Bleedred]

What kind of fucking call is that with Connaughton flopping against the premiere star on the Suns?. Just such an atrocious call.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Bucks just missed like 3 possessions to end this

Yeah that Connaughton shot in particular would have been a dagger, up 9 with like 4 minutes left. Instead now it’s anyone’s game.

 

[JCizzle]

Giannis has an insane compete level. KG and Kobe territory? He's exhausted and deserves to be.
