2021 NBA playoffs thread

If the Bucks go small tonight (meaning play Lopez fewer minutes), hopefully we could see Nader play in Game 2 as a backup wing since Dario Šarić is out for the series.
 
Game 1 wasn't super close but the Bucks had it down to single digits a couple of times despite getting "meh" games from everyone but Middleton, just couldn't get over the hump while the Suns got good games from their important guys. I think the Suns will end up winning but it seems like people are already crowning them, the Bucks aren't dead. If I'm them, I think I have a shot.
 
I've never seen someone airball so many free throws

I coached my son's 5th and 6th grade basketball teams.... and I don't recall in any of their games seeing any kid from either team airball a free throw.... so how can you explain full grown NBA players doing it? It's just unreal.
 
If Giannis could shoot 65% from FT and had a 10 foot jumper, he'd be one of the most unstoppable players of all time. PHX is just loading up waiting for him to lower his shoulder, daring him to either drive and get fouled or shoot a jumper.
 
I was trying to explain the no-call charge from Giannis on CP3, to my wife who just walked in. "That should have been a charge on the white guy. The black guy fell down and took the charge."

Then I realized how silly that might sound. There are no "white" guys, They're all black guys! Anyway I made it thru the awkward explanation. :)

He needs to develop that sky hook! LOL

I agree with you though. He's pretty awesome in close!
 
Free throws looked great by Giannis!

Probably like shooting a beebee for him!
 
Any time Giannis is even considering shooting a jumper, he needs to pull it back down and take it to the hoop instead.
And in the last 3 min I've seen him shoot two 3's!! He did make one, but I'm not sure I want him shooting those, if I'm coach.
 
Nice to see some 'bank' shots! Booker made a 15 footer bank Lt side not too long ago.
 
Abdel sighting, going into the locker room after the game. I think he plays game 3. Did he play at all tonight?
