The 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament + Playoffs Thread

I didn't watch the game and still haven't looked at the score, but from reading the thread, I knew that the Warriors were going to win.

Whichever team wins the opening tip also gets the ball to start the 4th quarter. The other team gets it to start the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Each jump ball is its own isolated incident. There is no possession arrow.

Thanks that explains it Warriors got it to start the 4th.

The wild swings game to game in these playoffs is getting really bizarre.

Jesus I was going to type the same thing. So few really close games.

I don’t recall ever seeing it happen so often.

It’s a pretty ratty playoffs. Blowouts, injuries and so far, one massive upset. Like… the Bucks Celtics series was good, but had a stinker of a Game 7. And that’s the only series that I can think of as some great next level play between two teams with a ton of drama.

Otherwise… meh. And I felt that way even when the suns were in it because they just seemed ratty too.

Jimmy Butler out for rest of the game.

Marcus smart just went down with an apparent high ankle injury.

As I was saying…

Yeah… and again…

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Smart limped back out…just hit a Trey to close gap to ten points.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Jesus… they STILL use that Game 7 Mario Elie kiss of death 3 ball in playoff commercials?!

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Now Jason Tatum goes down with shoulder….

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Tatum back.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

1 pt game 2:28 left!

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Valiant effort …comeback fell short.

Moral: can’t go down 26 pts and have 22+ turnovers and expect to win games.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

So good to see the Celtics lose again.

Love the way the Warriors are playing right now: calm , under control… this is a great start..

 

[Folster]

Mavs bench player in white again standing right on the court. Ridiculous.

It helps that Dallas has missed so many 3's but they're not quite as wide open as they were the first 2 games they're getting a bit better rotation to close on them but they're not going 1-9 the whole way
