2021-22 NBA Season Discussion

[ardee]

When is Williams going to be coming back for the Celtics?

If their Playoff defense is this good without him, once he's back I can't see anyone in the East stopping them. Kyrie isn't going to play like this every night to keep it this close.

[The High Cyde]

I haven’t seen KD play that bad since his Memphis series, he’ll bounce back, but he’ll need a guard to get him the ball where all he has to do is rise up and shoot. His handle isn’t tight enough against this defense.

Caruso was carrying the Bulls

This is where I love the NBA. Always making tons of criticize to NBA at the point and still miss 00's, but I lived this kind of hype only with OP's 1043 this year with did listen,watch,talk,read about it all along the two weeks and now it's headed excellent timeline with the NBA. At least one week intense insterest I'll have. Probably it's the best first round since the 2011, to me.

Kyrie has the best game of the entire Playoffs and was awesome to watch and what a game!

Caruse could make Bulls-Bucks series more interested.

And Jazz are going to sweep us, probably. We should have steal that game when Mitchell was terrible in the first half.

The Celtics with Williams vs. Milwaukee is my most anticipated series. I really wanna see how Giannis performs against their frontcourt. Hopefully this Nets series goes long enough that he can fully recover

You for sure mean 1044, right?

If Poole keeps playing like this, I think the Warriors are the favorites again to win it all. They're starting to look like the juggernauts they were at the beginning of the season. The injuries to Dray and Steph may even turn out to be a blessing. For one, they weren't serious enough to derail the whole year; two, they got some valuable rest in a grueling regular season; and three, it allowed room for Poole to shine.

this but the roger flashback instead

I don't expect Poole to play like this. And if Curry is gonna be hobbled for the rest of the playoffs then I know GS isn't winning the title this season

[parsnips33]

Watching the end of Boston Nets with my little cousins (Celtic fans) and going out in the driveway afterwards to recreate the shot was awesome

Very fun seeing the game from the younger generations perspective

OP and Berserk easily top 2 all time. Miura’s death hit me like a ton of bricks. No one is going to match his artistry on the page. I’m collecting the deluxe editions right now and they make my entire shelf look amazing ahaha
Waiting for OP to finish, gonna try to buy the whole set in hardback if they make it.

Sorry for the OT, guys.

Gonna be very curious to see Memphis adjustments for game 2. I have to imagine Adams will get his minutes reduced, he was just getting killed by KAT repeatedly. JJJ should be able to do a better job, provided he's not in foul trouble most of the game this time around

definetely a strong contender, but suns look outright unstopabble and theorycraft wise i dont love the bucks and boston matchup (who i have coming off east) for warriors

I feel confident that Memphis will respond well and would be surprised if they don't win. They may have matchup issues with Minnesota, but Memphis is so deep and so good on both ends that I expect them to come through as the clearly better team.

I'm more curious to see how the T-Wolves respond in game 2. Will they take their game 1 win, say that's good enough, and fold when the Grizzlies bring increased intensity to game 2? Or will they show some fight and give them a run for it?

KAT is a bellwether for them. Minny cannot have success relying on Edwards and Russell to overcome a poor performance by KAT. Edwards looks like the real deal, and Russell has been a pretty reliable secondary option. KAT had a nice bounceback game in game 1, but he still looks overly affected by calls that go against him, resorts to hero ball too often, and prone to poor decisions. I still saw too much of that in game 1. I hope he settles down and gets it, but I need to see a lot more before I'm sold on playoff KAT.

They should start SloMo or Clarke on Towns.

IIRC, Warriors were both #1 on offense AND defense through the first 20 games of the season...they looked like the only dominant team at the time. Injuries derailed their season a bit but I also think they were playing the long game with all the vets that they have. Draymond with a full tank might go down as the defensive GOAT in the modern NBA and Poole is going to get the max for sure. Klay is coming into form so now all the Warriors are waiting on now is for Steph to get up to speed.

As long as everyone's reasonably healthy I still think they have a great shot at the title. Poole's emergence makes their long term outlook even more interesting.

they were the best defense by a long shot but their offende was only good and far from the top

[Outside]

Once Curry regains his form, the Warriors offense will be great. They will go as far as their defense and rebounding can carry them.
