2016 NBA Playoffs Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 17

Geez Detroit.

 

*looks at Kyrie and Love's stat lines*

 

Doesn't matter - if Lebron wasn't on this team I don't think they'd make the playoffs

Kevin Love puts up numbers but he isn't a winner / the hottest take

 

Kevin Love came to down some brunch and win some games... and they stopped serving brunch at 2.

 

LOL Reggie Jackson. Horrible back to back possessions.

 

Detroit's shot selection, especially under pressure, is absolutely abysmal.

 

aaaaaand exhale

Hopefully they never shoot like they did in the first half again and we can wrap up a short series

 

Reggie Jackson made some incredible plays but wow. He was awful down the stretch

Surprised at how aggressively he was approaching the ref too. Unbelievable

 

Kevin bumping down to the five at the end of the game was huge.

 

Miami's looking great right now.

 

That 4th quarter felt like the Reggie Jackson show, and it probably should have been cancelled after the pilot episode. Man, what an exciting game though. Seriously cannot wait for the rest of the series. This Pistons team has really pulled my interest back into the NBA, and they're only an 8 seed.

 

Put Lin in. The Hornets have zero energy and look like they're lost.

 

Fucking Deng is murdering us.

 

Jesus 41 first quarter points? This is murder.

 

Welp. That was about as bad as the Hornets have played in a quarter all season. I mean, it’s not 5 points in the 3rd Miami bad. But still. Zero defense. Miami couldn't miss -- 68%. You can't sustain that, but Charlotte looks confused and lost.

 

Hornets can't hit anything.

Also I miss u Batum.

 

That spin move by Wade was nice.

 

If Charlotte can cut the lead to 8 at the half, I'll consider that a huge victory. We are getting torched. No presence. Big Al looks good but other than that, woof.

 

I can't believe I saw Richard Jefferson and Steve Blake playing a decent amount of minutes in a 2016 playoff game.

 

He had nobody close to Love AND Kyrie's level during his first tenure in Cleveland.

 

Cleveland in the finals last year was a spitting image of Lebrons first tenure. This year it's just fucking brutal chemistry. Lebron need's a pure point guard. Not Kyrie Irving.

 

Miami up 17, nice

cheering for Justise Winslow (and Gogi i guess)

 

Kemba is hurt.

Well, fuck. Good season, Hornets. Nothing left in the tank.

 

Deng is having the game of his life. Jesus.

 

So many lazy turnovers
