NBA playoff chatter 🏀🏆

[jaygee]

Whose watching? Who are you rooting for?

All four CA teams are in the playoffs for the first time. But I only have one love and it is:



I used to be a King’s fan though so them playing each other is going to be weird.

[joy]

I hear the Sixers are in this?

I’m a bad Philly basketball fan.

[George]

I’m a Timberwolves fan and we’re not out yet so I’m here 😂

I kept asking H last night how they were going to botch it and lose... they did prove me wrong.

My son and I went to one game this year so now I feel like I care more than I have before but I'm not exactly a fan fan, especially after all their stupid shenanigans lately.

I thought for sure we would mess it up, even when we were up by 29. My H is a pretty big fan and so we usually watch when we can. D’Lo was my fav and since they traded him, I haven’t watched as much. I still cannot believe McDaniels and Rudy.

[prettypitties]

Rooting for the Sixers of course. I live in a Celtics household so this could be interesting...

[laurie]

Let’s go Boston!!!! 🍀

[jaygee]

Argh. This warriors kings game is sooo stressful. In a good sports watching way. But still.

[jaygee]

Ok Kings. Ok. Good game.

This is going to be a series.

[caer]

I only vaguely follow basketball during the regular season but I’ll watch any Philadelphia team in any playoff situation and probably get overly invested. I do wonder if we can have a trifecta of Philly teams making it to a championship and then losing in one year. If anyone can do it, it’s Philly lol

[Eagles]

Honestly after the WS and SB I'm afraid to even participate here. 😭

Game 1 was great and the arena was rocking, can't wait to be back tomorrow night. I'd love a sweep.

Boston is likely going to kill us in the second round and the curse will continue though.

Your optimism that we can get past the second round is lovely. *cries in drafting Markelle Fultz over Jayson Tatum*

It was such a good game!! I don't think the Kings should at all think they've got this series since they won game 1. Wiggins playing like that after only a few days back?!?!?! Give him a few more days and another game and OOP! 

[jaygee]

Damn. Another good game, but not the outcome I wanted.

How’s everyone else doing? I haven’t had time to watch anyone but the Warriors/Kings.

Our team will pull through and win the series I feel it

The Sixers wasted the first half last night but pulled it together in the second. I need Embiid to stop flopping looking for fouls. He thinks he's invincible. Harden looked terrible.

Side note joy I saw the new jumbo screen at CBP yesterday because 95 was backed up for a mile so we took Pattison and wow, that's aggressive. Like, I've seen it from 95 but not the street. I think it's visible from space.

There were pictures of it from airplanes about a month ago. My BIL texted us and asked if it was a real photo!

I’m going on Thursday night. I’ll report back on its amazingness.

I almost included the Union but wasn’t sure if anyone else would know what I was talking about lol. That one was extra special since it was the same day as the Phils. Being a Philadelphia fan is neat.

The emotional chokehold our teams have had on this city since October...

At least the Flyers don't get our hopes up.

The one bright spot in their season lol. I actually love hockey but the Flyers haven’t been worth following in awhile. Probably for the best.

[Pizzaslut]

The Cleveland game was 1000% better than game 1!!

[jaygee]

Draymond Green is suspended for game 3. I’m not surprised and it’s the right answer. But man, I’m annoyed at Draymond for taking the bait. He makes it hard to root for. I think I’ve declared being done with him 500 times over the years. Reminds me of when Bonds was on the Giants. I love what he brings to the team with performance, but I have to ignore a whole lot to cheer for him. Uncomfortable.

I've hated him since his MSU days (H is an alum). He's been a dirty player from way back, not as bad as that doucheface from Duke (Allen?), but still bad.

Right?

I was really done with him after he punched Poole but yet here I am feeling betrayed again. I don’t know why I have a soft spot for him despite his flaws. His mega watt smile gets me.

He seriously seems very fun and easy to hang with when not playing. I know that so many players know how to push his button and do so but damn dude you are a grown ass adult do better

His charisma is off the charts.
