The 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament + Playoffs Thread

[Mainstreet]

Same for Boston and Bucks they don’t have to play again till Sat? Wth? I mean I like being able to watch us that often but seems a bit slanted to allow certain teams to rest a lot and other play every other day?

I agree with your take but if the Suns are healthy, playing every other day may be to their advantage.

 

[JosiahLee]

Lol only? They still get a long rest and we do not?

Well if our series with the Mavs goes 7 games we get a 3-day break between games 6 & 7 lol.

Kinda does seem like the nba wants to keep Curry fresh between games lol

If we can sweep the Mavs (which I think is a real possibility) we should end up with at least a week off before heading into the next series. That would be a tremendous advantage.

That's only a two-day break though.

Payton has a fractured left elbow the MRI is to see if there's tissue damage too per local postgame show

No idea who this is but they say same thing about Payton's elbow

 

[Finito]

Shut the hell up Steve Kerr. There’s a code you follow? Bro you coach Draymond Green ****

And Zaza Pachulia, another all time dirty player.

Brutal loss. He would’ve played the Alvarado role vs the Suns except he can shoot and yam on dudes.

That sucks.

Gotta say o agree 100% with Finito here. I get you’re mad you lost Payton and it was a dangerous play, but no one the warriors is allowed to invoke code so long as draymond is on the team.

A big middle
Finger to Brooks!

Here is a replay of the foul being discussed.

If Crowder got ejected for the nutshot on Doncic I wouldn’t have had a problem with it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Draymond Green was injured in the game as well and discusses it postgame.

Come on that was just a hard foul Brooks is not or has never been a dirty player. Sometimes injuries happen Payton tried to catch his fall that’s a no no arms and fingers get hurt easily. It’s unfortunate but in no way was malicious or dirty like the crap Draymond does!

Still a big middle finger. GP2 is very likable and works hard. He brings X-factor to Dubs. It’s a huge loss and I’m pissed.

 

[elindholm]

But it seems more pronounced now. Or at least more widely utilized and for greater amount of steps.

It's because they made it a "point of emphasis" a few years ago, and called the violation early in the season. After the predictable outrage, they gave up, so now players know that the rule has no teeth at all.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Dubs need to play much better so ridiculous calls like this don’t have such an impact.

[nashman]

That wasn’t a ridiculous call Green knocked Ja out of the way that’s a foul. If Curry got knocked down like that by say Steven Adam’s GS fans would lose their **** if a foul wasn’t called. GS is the last damn team to ever complain about getting calls they get plenty more than most teams!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ja is just scary good… like possible player of his generation good.

 

[TJ]

In case people didn’t know that Dillon Brooks has been a piece of **** for a while

Agreed. It was a basketball play - trying to block a shot. F2 - sure. But not intentional like Green does

The foul on Green?

 

[Russ Smith]

Brutal loss. He would’ve played the Alvarado role vs the Suns except he can shoot and yam on dudes.

Given how Ja is shooting 3's they may not even make it to the Suns without Payton to help guard him. Lee can play but he's not quick enough to guard Morant and they're not going to trust a 19 year old rookie in Moody on him. Wiggins is going to end up taking on the task more so they don't have foul concerns with poole, Klay and Steph on him
