2022 NBA Playoffs Gamethread

[Ferm Sheller]

They're gonna lose by 50.

If they stop the game at the end of the third.

 

[tims4wins]

+10 in the first. +20 in the 2nd. On pace for +30 in the 3rd.

 

[radsoxfan]

This is WILD.

I was aways a bit skeptical of the Suns compared to their record/rep....but this is an unreal 2+ quarters in a home game 7.

Luka grin after every made basket is making me laugh.

 

[Cesar Crespo]

Dallas has 21 FGM, 10 3PM, 10 FTM
Phoenix has 10 FGM, 3 3PM, 4 FTM.

That's.... no words really.

 

[JOBU]

Could you imagine shelling out big money to be at this game as a Suns fan? Tragic.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

It’s only 10 possessions and in 2022 that is far from insurmountable. I don’t expect the 1H Suns to come out of the locker room.

Well it wasn’t the 1H Suns…….it was worse!!!

 

[bsj]

I just turned this on. What in the world?

 

[djbayko]

Can Luka outscore the Suns for the game? Probably not, but I'm rooting for it.

 

[ifmanis5]

Bonkers. It even got worse.

Right, It's not like the teams are unevenly matched. It's a game 7. Sometimes teams have really, really bad games in the playoffs and it doesn't mean anything. This one probably doesn't either, but they'll have no chance to do anything about it. They are getting sent home.

Teams lose by 20+ just to win the following game in a blow out. There is no following game here. They are gonna get trolled so hard.

About that...

 

[joe dokes]

If the C's played 6.5 quarters today, they would've been up by 40 after they broke the bucks.. Dallas doing it in 2.5.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Is this the worst game 7 of all time?

 

[shawnrbu]

Warriors have home court the rest of the playoffs after not having it in Round 2.

 

[joe dokes]

Bring in the garbage timers Monty, at least they'll play hard.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

This one was pretty bad, too:

It's really hard to do anyway. It could have been done, but it would have been historic.

Gonna be hard to wash off this stink.

 

[ifmanis5]

OMG what is happening. Paul/Booker/Bridges -39.

 

[Van Everyman]

Did the Suns smoke up or go on a team peyote trip in the desert before this game? What the hell is going on?

 

[NYCSox]

I’ve never seen anything remotely like this.

 

[johnmd20]

75 to 34. Lolol.

 

[soxin6]

What a no show by Booker.

 

[Cesar Crespo]

Bridges leads the Suns with 6 points on 3/10 shooting.

 

[patinorange]

I’ve never seen anything remotely like this.

This is really inexplicable.

 

[tims4wins]

Celts Hawks in 2008 wasn’t competitive but that was expected. This is totally unexpected so for that reason I wouldn’t rate it as one of the worst game 7s of all time.

 

[Cesar Crespo]

What a no show by Booker.

And Paul.

 

[ifmanis5]

Dallas can probably sit Luka to rest him and avoid injury pretty soon.

 

[osori]

Disappointing game.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

First round against Atlanta in ‘08 was a pretty bad G7 but that wasn’t surprising. This is shocking.

 

[shawnrbu]

This should be a good motivating tool for the 2023 Suns.

 

[rymflaherty]

Suns Reddit is currently set to private…Have never seen that.

 

[soxin6]

And Paul.

True, but I kind of expect it from Paul since he has done it his entire career

 

[tims4wins]

First round against Atlanta in ‘08 was a pretty bad G7 but that wasn’t surprising. This is shocking.

Just wrote pretty much the same post

 

[joe dokes]

13 straight 3s and shutout defense, and phoenix is right back in it.

 

[RorschachsMask]

God damn Statmuse.

[patinorange]

The good news for the Suns is they are going to get every call for the rest of the game.

 

[shawnrbu]

Thought 05 Game 7 was a contender, but just checked it was a tight game into the 3rd. Was just a horrible game to watch.

 

[ifmanis5]

God damn Statmuse.

Dead.

 

[Van Everyman]

This is like when I took my Celtics-loving daughter to see her first game at the Garden and we saw … the Cavs playoff game we lost by 44.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

What is the story here---I'm amazed seeing the score.

 

[tims4wins]

Not getting doubled up any more. Progress!

 

[JCizzle]

I was at this one (Pacers vs. Celtics - Game Summary - May 7, 2005 - ESPN) and thought it was the most miserable thing ever. This is next level.

 

[shawnrbu]

Hawks fans can stop trolling Luka about never going as far as Trae in the playoffs.

13-12 2nd Quarter. What a time to be a NBA fan.

Complete no show.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Luka vs. Tatum is going to be awesome. Changing of the guard finals.

Yeah. I wanted him or Morant.
