NBA Playoffs 2023

Bucks aren’t even close to being as good as last season or before even with Giannis

Giannis out for rest of Game 1 with lower back contusion per ESPN.

C'mon Heat, push this series!

[SparzWizard]

Maybe it was a good idea to be the #2 seed after all. Not drawing the Heat is huge.

Tyler herro broke his hand. So heat likely can't win this series unless Gianni's out.

Yeah @Clay you may have been wrong, Love was a good pickup clearly 

Not sure if you are being serious or not. Has been shooting like 28% from three since they got him.

Was dreading the possibility of playing them first round. That could have gone 7 games.

Wow. That changes things

Herro with broken hand wow

Half joking. He’s been good today though, doing all the little things

Herro broke his hand, seriously? Terrible day of injuries. Didn’t even look like much from the video.

But, man, he took and made that three with a broken dang hand haha Talk about tough.

EDIT: haha just rewatched and he actually airballed it with Bam putting it back in. Still tough to even catch that and shoot it with a broken hand, though.

Bucks defense a sieve. Honestly I think even with giannis they may be vulnerable.

Miami is really not that good. They fought to just make the playoffs. Although unfortunately without Tyler herro this may not be the series we thought it would be if Gianni's can come back.

Although I expect it to go at least 6 games now

[celticsclay]

Yeah @Clay you may have been wrong, Love was a good pickup clearly 

Yeah if he has a good playoff run where he plays like this I will definitely say he was a good pickup but he has been a net negative for a few months. Not gonna discount that over one half.

I do really hate injuries in the playoffs. You wait all season to see how these teams stack up and then whether it is Davis, morant or Gianni’s we will just end up arguing over what would have happened (see the 5000 mentions of Middleton being out last playoffs over the course of the year)

Duncan Robinson really benefitted from the Bubble run in 2020. Got a 5/90M extension off of it, but he's been garbage since (and mostly unplayable). With Herro done now though, Robinson is playing and he's getting abused

[jpotter33]

Miami is really going to choke this, aren’t they?

Finally Bam starting to contribute. Jimmy has been doing it all.
