NFT: NBA Playoffs - Round 1

threeofakind33 : 4/13/2019 11:20 am
Saturday:
Nets @ Sixers - 2:30ET ESPN
Magic @ Raptors - 5:00ET ESPN
Clippers @ Warriors - 8:00ET ABC
Spurs @ Nuggets - 10:30ET ESPN

Sunday:
Pacers @ Celtics - 1:00ET TNT
Thunder @ Blazers - 3:30ET ABC
Pistons @ Bucks - 7:00ET TNT
Jazz @ Rockets - 9:30ET TNT

Feel like Jazz Rockets should be Sunday’s ABC game. That’s the non-Nets series I’m most excited about.

Still no word on whether or not Embiid is playing Game 1.

Warriors should keep Curry out for a couple of games, IMO  
BH28 : 4/13/2019 2:42 pm : link
don't want to risk him for the later rounds.

threeofakind33 : 4/13/2019 2:49 pm : link
Love Harris coming out firing if you’re the Nets.
Keep it close while dlo is finding his shot  
hitdog42 : 4/13/2019 2:57 pm : link
He’s probably extra amped/nervous
.  
threeofakind33 : 4/13/2019 3:06 pm : link
DLo played about as bad as he has all season.

They are calling this game insanely tight.
well if they can keep this pace up and make this a run + gun shootout  
Eric on Li : 4/13/2019 3:17 pm : link
that may be the Nets best chance. They've lost as many games like that as they've won, but nobody has played more 3 point fests over the past couple years.
Embiid looks like garbage right now  
giantsFC : 4/13/2019 3:19 pm : link
That knee may be the beginning of end for his careeer.
Brown is gone if they fail, and most likely are butler and Harris.

Creating the biggest anti-process disaster ever.
Go nets

May get fired for that matter. His trades looking like garbage too.

threeofakind33 : 4/13/2019 4:11 pm : link
And the tight refereeing continues into the third.
Easy to root for the Nets this round  
Oscar : 4/13/2019 4:15 pm : link
Even as a Knicks fan. Want Philly to tank unless they’re playing Boston.

Holy overreaction.
Big for dlo

To overcome a crap start and come up big in the 2nd half

Needed that to have a shot and got it
Broooooooklyn
didn't really see that coming but philly looks disjointed  
Eric on Li : 4/13/2019 5:22 pm : link
more vulnerable than I realized but I haven't watched them much this year. Didn't expect the Nets to get more than 1 or 2 wins in this series so already overachieving.

Nice to see DLo hit a few shots to help ice it down the stretch.

Magic blew a huge lead, but hanging tough with Toronto.

Bucks must be salivating after seeing Toronto and Philly today.
Playoff Kyle Lowry

Is it? The MRI's are showing no structural damage, meaning his "very painful" knee has to have either bad tendinitis or something else that is a chronic issue. He's 7'2 - 250 pounds, i think its very concerning.
As a Nets fan  
GiantGrit : 4/13/2019 8:27 pm : link
I'm praying we find a way to beat the Sixers. Just an extremely unlikable team.

Exactly. He looked like a 60 year old man walking around at times. Scary stuff for sixers.

Simmons is a whole other fail again.

When is the coach accountable for Simmons not progressing and also the lack of chemistry this team showed tonight? Holy hell Tobias Harris looks like Robert Covington minus the defense now

but still, Spurs stole a close one in Denver. Nugs kinda imploded late with 2 straight TOs in the last 2 possessions down 1 then 3

One of the last guys I want on my team if I’m in the playoffs. Pretty much a guarantee to come up small. Well lookie here... 0-7 against the almighty Point guards of the Orlando Magic.
3 upsets yesterday.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/14/2019 7:58 am : link
Also, Ben Simmons...WTF? I'm really disappointed in this kid. He did nothing to improve his game from last year & was MIA yesterday.
Would love to see Portland make a run this  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/14/2019 4:25 pm : link
spring. I've always liked Lilliard.
Couldn't complain, love DLill & CJ too  
ChaChing : 4/14/2019 4:57 pm : link
but it'll be tough w/o Nurk (what a gruesome injury btw)

I'd probably still root for OKC for Russell & PG13. I thought this might be one of their better teams too (still not likely to beat GSW, at least). But real tough for them w/ PG not 100%, especially for scoring

Either way this should be good, up & down, shots from half-court between Dame & Russ, and actually decent D...s/b fun to watch

all time they are 2-14 in Game 1s. Through the Vince Bosh DeRozan and now Leonard areas it’s been a strange constant
big game 2 tonight for nets  
hitdog42 : 4/15/2019 3:52 pm : link
hard to imagine the roll players shooting as poorly for Philly- nets cant foul as much either.
I think a good start is more important for sixers in this one. If nets can withstand that--- the depth should take over at some point and give them a shot
I'm assuming Embiid  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/15/2019 8:10 pm : link
is playing.
Simmons aggressive  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/15/2019 8:18 pm : link
so far.

threeofakind33 : 4/15/2019 8:49 pm : link
Nets strategy is apparently not rebounding and bombing threes all night.

Let’s see how this plays out.
This Nets team is one scrappy

bunch.

I just became a Kurucs fan.  
bceagle05 : 4/15/2019 9:15 pm : link
Simmons and Embiid are such punks - hope the Nets sweep their asses out of the first round.
All else equal  
hitdog42 : 4/15/2019 9:17 pm : link
A solid first half for the nets
Absorbed the runs and didn’t back down
Man, if the 76ers somehow don't win this series...  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/15/2019 9:18 pm : link
Major changes. No chance Brown survives. I think Buckets walks regardless.

I called the Sixers demise once they traded for team killer Jimmy Butler.
Dep, in fairness,  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/15/2019 9:22 pm : link
Buckets is the only reason Philly didn't lose Game 1 by 20 plus.

The 76ers problem this series is A) Embiid's health, B) Atkinson is like Red Auerbach compared to Brown, C) Nets are playing with no fear & shooting the hell out of the ball.

I think Philly wins tonight & probably wins the series, but it's going to be a grind.

Nets probably lost the game here with an absolutely horrible first two minutes of the second half. Philly didn’t even play that well, Nets just keep screwing up. Missing open shots, fouling, brain farts.
JFC. 76ers have come out like

I'm resigned to losing Durant this offseason  
santacruzom : 4/16/2019 12:11 am : link
And in a way, I kinda look forward to the Warriors playing the way they did prior to his arrival, which is a lot like how they played this first half.

I just hope they don't also lose Klay or... Kevon Looney.
