Edgecombe scoreless, playoff atmosphere maybe grinding on the big rookies.

I always forget how boring most of the first round is.

Useless 76ers

I always forget how boring most of the first round is.

First round usually only has 1 or 2 series worth watching. This year I don't know which series that will be. I think Nuggets-Wolves is one of the series that is worth watching

And I don't know how much of a difference Embiid would make. Offensively, sure--but he is totally stationary on D these days and Boston shoots a lot of 3s.

Jaylen Brown has been absolutely weeping to the refs this whole game. He has gotten hard to watch with that.

Brown's entire persona has become Grievance at this point

 

[Dex]

Man, games have been disappointing so far. Already too many stars injured or missing...Ant, KD, Embiid. Basically making these games a formality.

 

[LeBowen]

Lmao that courtside fan casually getting out of the way.

 

[1kangaroo]

OH look one of 4 blowouts that will most likely happen today

 

[NASpurs]

Play-ins > first round, there I said it.

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Boring ass playoffs so far tbh. Hopefully the Spurs keep it that way

Evenly matched teams play closer games, more at seven.

Also that but single elimination game is more exciting.

I still wish it was best of 5..

 

[1kangaroo]

I remember when the first round was 5 games you had more upsets the last big upset of the bottom team of a top team since they switched to seven games that I can think off was Golden State vs Mavericks 2007 that team had former Spur Stephen Jackson on that team

 

[Fireball]

the previous years often had game 1 "upsets" with the visiting team winning, but this first round sucks ass so far

its weird, every year once the playoffs start, its like a completely different game with the physicality and what the refs allow

i dont have that same feeling this yr so far, nuggets wolves game 1 was fun to watch but still kinda felt like they officiated that game like a regular season game

 

[BatManu20]

Suns are prob going to get blown out next as well. Magic vs. PIstons has a chance to be one of the better games today.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

OKC + Doris game idk if I can do it lol

 

[Biggems]

All of these games have been a farce so far

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

already shooting FT lmao

Brown's entire persona has become Grievance at this point

At this point, I don't remember it being anything else. Michael Jordan used grievance and offense and anger as his fuel for years, but still managed to be relatively charming while doing it.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

Pussy ass Chet lmfao

Of course they called a flagrant 1

 

[LeBowen]

Pussy ass Chet lmfao

The hell are you on about?
That's a clear ejection for Brooks.

I'm sick of that idiot hurting players on purpose. He's the reason why I wanted to avoid the Suns, would've surely pulled the same shit against us.

 

[NASpurs]

Suns are about to foul out as a team.
