NBA Playoffs 2023

Lakers lose. Tragic

No Ja, no Adams, and JJJ banged up. If Memphis can manage to split in LA, then I think we might have a series here with MEM. 

Yeah I think Game 5 could decide the series if it’s 2-2. But Memphis needs to split at LA for sure

Bucks up 29 on the Heat…

81 halftime points...is that a record or something for a playoffs?

[SparzWizard]

Only the Warriors would accuse Domantas Sabonis of using the ball as a "weapon" on offense per Zach. “There is some anger within the organization toward the league. There's a sense in the organization that Sabonis is shoving people on offensive rebounds and playing with his elbows out and using the ball as a weapon on offense.”

I guess Holiday heard all the bad mouthing we were giving the bucks here haha...
21/4/5 in the first half for Jrue, impressive

Memphis should trade Morant while his stock is high.  The shine on Young is fading. What difference is there between Morant and Young?  They're both poor defenders and if anything Young is better offensively.  Morant also has his character questions. 

Memphis would be a really good fit for Luka.  If they can't get a good #1 star, I'd happily trade Morant for Mikail Bridges and a pick or two.

Is LeBron's ankle bothering him more than he is letting on?

It was really strange to see how unwilling or unable LeBron was to drive the basketball.

Good grief. Was listening to Memphis/LAL while working in the garage. Was hoping we’d also see a good game with the Heat challenging Milwaukee again, yet a 26 point lead at the half without Giannis?

You suck, Miami. No excuse for that kind of letdown in a playoff game.

maybe both the Bucks and the Heat are over-rated on this board?

Is it a letdown or are they just reverting to their 8th seed level of play?

This is downright embarrassing for the Heat. I don't think I've ever seen a Spoelstra team look so unprepared for a playoff game.

Well I noticed how Sabonis elbows the heck out of The C's and uses the ball to knock people around...but ZERO sympathy fro the front running Warriors at this point.

Probably a bit of both. Even as bad as they’ve been this year, there’s no excuse to be down 30+ to a Giannis-less Bucks team.

But the Heat have to be one of the biggest letdowns in recent memory. To be this much worse this year after leading the East last year with nearly the exact same roster is mind-boggling.

Crowder pulling a Sabonis and grabbing Butler's leg lolol.

[kraidstar]

Embarrassing, horrible loss for the Lakers. They have been godawful in 2 of their first 3 postseason games now. Can't even beat a team missing half their rotation players.

Nuggets looking very good. They look like a 1 seed so far
