Around the NBA (and other Sports) 2021-22, Part 3

I love Trae. I don't care what the haters say haha. Kid is sick.

I was kinda jealous of the Hawks success if I'm being honest but I got over it and have been enjoying the Hawks a lot this postseason. They are a much better team than they get credit for, and a lot of fun.

Some players make the game more interesting dont they. I just cant stand behind Giannis bully ball game even though it might get him the chip this year.

It’s unbelievable that a trio of Harden Kyrie and Durand didnt make it through the East this year.

Also i love how Suns and Hawks are young teams. Kind of breaks that typical mould. Still if Leonard comes back in conf finals have a feeling Clippers go all the way

[Ill News]

Wouldn't it be something if the Clippers can somehow win their 3rd straight series when they were trailing 0-2? They'd be doing something similar to what the Nuggets did last playoffs, except that was for 3-1 deficits and the Nuggets failed a third time. If the Clippers can pull this off, it'll be more impressive considering they're missing their best player.

[Bleeding Green]

Tony Allen, Avery Bradley, Gabe Pruitt, Rajon Rondo, Leon Powe, Glen Davis. Soon, maybe Abdel Nader can add his name to the list of players that Ainge drafted who have won a title.

So Kidd goes to Dallas and they also sign a Nike exec to front their basketball operations. I guess that's one way to try to get stars to your team. Zion+Luka in 2-3 years is gonna happen.

said the same thing. This has to be in order to facilitate making Luka a bigger star, get more endorsements and drive other stars to DAL.

Jrue has not impressed me that much in these playoffs

Anyone who has seen pictures of luka’s mum is
Ok with this

Ayton has been a beast on both ends this postseason. Funny how he's gonna make the Finals even before Embiid does lol.

EDIT: To be fair, Embiid has never had an elite floor general. The 6'10" pretend point guard they have who can't do anything in the half court doesn't count.

[NYCelticsfan136]

Awful basketball game but suns up 3-1. Don’t know how booker fouled out. Guy needs to stay away from foul trouble. Put the clippers out of their misery in game 5.

[GoGreen]

If I'm a Clippers fan I'm ripsh*t about the reffing down the line. Straight trash

Really? I thought the suns got screwed on some calls. Clippers still took more FTs.

To my point above... Imagine if Sixers got hold of Harden or even just Lowry or Conley or CP himself.

[Triple7]

Maybe we can get them for cheap after their stint there. still hard pass

[Andrew McCeltic]

Suns-Bucks would be an interesting matchup. Suns have no answer for Giannis, Milwaukee has no answer for Ayton. One team could end up running roughshod over the other, but no idea which.

Hell of an emergence for Ayton - what is he, only 22? And dominating as a "traditional" big man.

Ayton is so smooth and fast. Not brute strength like shaq in his youth but damn the fella is playing amazing bball

[Andrew McCeltic]

I get David Robinson vibes

[Tatumfor2]

Wow, Middleton taking over.

[Celtics_Champs]

Middleton caught fire. He does that from time to time. He continues to do so, and the Bucks will win this whole thing.

Danny Ainge is taking this job, folks

[Tatum43]

Aytons touch is so impressive. I wonder what he’d look like with much more usage.
