2023 NBA Playoffs

[TripleOT]

Atlanta played lousy the last few minutes of the half. Capela bricked two FTs that would have pushed the lead to 26. Then they let Lowry scam his way back into the game. Bogie needs to be on the floor at all time to stabilize the Hawks.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

I haven’t watched him that much, but T. Young is not very good.

Go look at Trae’s numbers in last years Miami series and his games this year against them. Lowry makes him his you know what.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Heat are going to win this.

Part of it is reputation but the other part is that the Heat really can overcome this lead fairly easily, especially with halftime to adjust. So I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[benhogan]

I'm not sure Dejounte Murray is all that much better than Derrick White.

 

[Ale Xander]

Let’s just say I’m surprised the Heat are down 15. But Hawks are a better matchup for the C’s,.

 

[Ed Hillel]

They're gonna blow a 24 point lead in 7 minutes of game time lol

 

[ifmanis5]

28-3 vibes?

 

[Auger34]

Lowry hasn’t been guarding him. Trae is just playing stupid and out of control

 

[Ed Hillel]

Heat by 25

 

[ifmanis5]

Big missed 3 for a 5 point swing. Not big enough. The choke continues.

 

[Ale Xander]

Hawks choking hard

 

[PedroKsBambino]

It is impossible to have any faith in the Hawks at all.

There's talent there, but man is it a soft, leader-less looking team.

Honestly both of these teams suck. I would much rather play the Hawks because the Heat are a dirty, physical team but I have no fear of them actually winning the series

 

[djbayko]

You guys were shitting on Butler, but you just know that if the Heat end up playing the Celtics he'll be a killer again.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol here come the Butler calls now

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a call that is

 

[Deathofthebambino]

You guys were shitting on Butler, but you just know that if the Heat end up playing the Celtics he'll be a killer again.

Yup, I want nothing to do with him.

The Hawks need to make some fucking shots. They're going inside and missing bunnies, or turning it over...

 

[Helmet Head]

What a call that is

Well, you see, Jimmy fell down. So foul

 

[Auger34]

If you’re a fan of shameless flopping and non-basketball plays, the Heat really are the team for you.
Butler reacts as if hes been blasted in the chest by a shotgun and didn’t get touched

 

[Ed Hillel]

What the fuck is Trae doing

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Jesus Trae, stop it with the bullshit fancy passes, make the fucking correct one.

 

[Ale Xander]

Trae makes some bad passes

 

[Euclis20]

You guys were shitting on Butler, but you just know that if the Heat end up playing the Celtics he'll be a killer again.

He's been a killer all year, and Herro/Bam have been just as good as last year. Their problem has been that all of their role players (literally all of them) are worse than last year.

 

[Ale Xander]

PS what the hell is a Kaseya?

 

[lars10]

You guys were shitting on Butler, but you just know that if the Heat end up playing the Celtics he'll be a killer again.

He's a good player, but it's the whistle that he gets that kills you

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Yup, I want nothing to do with him.

The Hawks need to make some fucking shots. They're going inside and missing bunnies, or turning it over...

I agree, Butler is a warrior. He is, by far, the guy playing tonight who I least want to deal with.

 

[Ed Hillel]

These free throws lol

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Finally Trae, first made 3 tonight.

 

[djbayko]

He's a good player, but it's the whistle that he gets that kills you

His clutch shooting and playmaking has been a thorn in our side as well.

 

[Auger34]

He likes taking those logo 3s but he's just not that great at him. His real strength is driving to the hoop and either hitting a floater, drawing a foul or tossing up a lob for a teammate (he is A+ at that).

My god this is so true.

The highlight reel pass attempts also need to go.


Okongwu is miles better than Capela

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol that goof

 

[benhogan]

Like Okongwu, he'd look nice in Green backing up TL

 

[PedroKsBambino]

How big a skill gap do we think there is between Trae and Steph Curry? I don't think it's big at all.

The gap in mentality, competitiveness, smarts on the court....that is enormous.

 

[Auger34]

I think Jalen Johnson should be stapled go the bench at this poinf

 

[Red Averages]

Butler is so good at finding the mismatch.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a flop

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Butler hooks him, gets around him, stops, initiates all the contact, gets the call.

The NBA, it's Fannnnnnnnnnnntastic.

 

[Auger34]

Butler is a very good player. He’s an absolutely legendary grifter. Somehow his actions haven’t caught up to the rep yet

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Bey just got hammered on that put back, no call.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fucking Herro can't miss

 

[Just a bit outside]

How big a skill gap do we think there is between Trae and Steph Curry? I don't think it's big at all.

The gap in mentality, competitiveness, smarts on the court....that is enormous.

The skill gap is huge. Steph is the greatest shooter of all time. Trea is not close.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Atlanta is dominating the offensive boards, or they'd be down by now.

 

[Ed Hillel]

The O boards offset by the pitiful fts maybe

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Atlanta is 12/22 from the line.

Fucking ridiculous.

 

[ifmanis5]

Atlanta is dominating the offensive boards, or they'd be down by now.

Yup. But they are giving away tons of points at the line.

 

[Auger34]

Jalen Johnson sucks

 

[Ed Hillel]

omg

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Butler: 'Oof, that rebound is just out of my reach.'
Butler: *Leans into defender and jumps sideways.
Ref: *Whistle

 

[Auger34]

Butler hooks him, gets around him, stops, initiates all the contact, gets the call.

The NBA, it's Fannnnnnnnnnnntastic.

Hell of a flop on that “foul” on the rebound too

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why did they double Trae?
