2021-22 NBA Thread: The Bucks are Reigning Champs

[MuggsyB]

Other than Wiggins, Curry isn't getting much help. What this guy is able to do is truly remarkable. 

[MuggsyB]

Tatum has been brutal but it's only a 5pt game. 

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  Derrick White can't miss.  Smh.

[MuggsyB]

Horford is torching Green.  Gotta give Boston credit for picking up White and Horford.

[JWags85]

I'm gonna hate how this game turns out, but my god it has been fun. 

Its an absolute TRAGEDY Mike Breen is out for this game.  Its literally tailor made for BANNNNNGGGGGs

[MuggsyB]

Big concerns for GSW.  Obviously Boston went crazy from distance in the 4Q.  But they got wide open looks.  You add the fact that Tatum had an off night and Kerr cannot be happy.  The problem (which I mentioned before the game) is that if Golden State has to play big with Green and Looney, essentially they're playing 3 on 5.

Amazing turnaround for Boston. I'm already regretting my pick!

These were rhythm 4Q triples MU82.  Between us we may have not gone 9-12 but probably 7-12.

Boston will cool down, but Tatum will play better. Warriors role guys will play better, but you aren't going to get an efficient 30+ from Steph. Warriors will get game two and I think it'll be 2-2 after 4. No guesses after that.

Uh ... no. I've seen me shoot.

Steph was the only one out there that looked comfortable scoring though.  Poole can't be a non-factor while White goes bananas. 

[MuggsyB]

Uh ... no. I've seen me shoot.

Then I would take 10 of the 12 shots.

[MU82]

Then I would take 10 of the 12 shots.

You'd need to take 13 of the 12 shots!

[MuggsyB]

Very disappointed in Golden State.  Green just infuriated me this evening.

The Warriors went almost 4 minutes without scoring.  A 36% 3P shooting Celtics team went 7-7 to start the 4th. 

The size had nothing to do with it.  They weren't getting killed on the boards.  They weren't getting beat inside.

The Warriors were controlling the game most of the game.  Then the Cs got unconscious.  Derrick White is shooting under 30% from 3 in playoffs and went 4-4 including 2 very contested 3s.  Marcus Smart was 4-7 after shooting 30% all year.  Sometimes really good offensive teams just hit shots.

I'm gonna slightly disagree with your assessment JWags and don't forget about Horford.  These were wide open practice threes.  The C's did this vs the Bucks as well in a few games.  One of the sayings that I absolutely hate in general is "this is a make or miss league"   That's not exactly accurate.  It's more about good shots vs bad shots.  The C's got better shots.

Dang, fell asleep last night with the warriors up 12 after 3Qs and the brewers down 4-1 after 8 innings. Quite the turnaround in both games.

[wadesworld]

Does anybody know of a place I could find full NBA Playoff games from last year?  Would like to watch some of the Bucks games from last year's run but can't find the full games online.

I'd bet on Curry having two more 30+ efficient games from Steph, and he very likely may get more than 2.

[MuggsyB]

Kerr is a really good coach but he made a pretty significant error last night.  He began the 4Q with both Curry and Wiggins on the bench.  I get they had a 12 point lead but I think far less emphasis should be on mins.  These time-outs are long amd the Dubs had like 4 days off.  Either way GSW has a big problem if Poole is stymied and Green does zero offensively.   He doesn't have to be great buy in the 8pt range on 5 shots or so. 

[MuggsyB]

This will be a quick series if the Dubs don't get anything from Poole or Thompson.  They really need to wake up.

[MuggsyB]

Poole may have read my comments.  Wow.

[forgetful]

Curry looks to be planning on an efficient 30+ point game.

And what a close to the quarter.

[forgetful]

Last night Draymond showed how you impact a game outside of the box score.

[wadesworld]

Tatum dislocates his shoulder for the second time in two rounds and doesn't miss a possession lol. C's act is so old. Flopped their way to a title. And the NBA has itself to blame for rewarding it.
