Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Derrick can't give a good recommendation on any places for him to fantasize about going to. You know, cause Joe's vacations usually involve him still on the court going through the motions while he's sipping mai tais on the beach in his head.

Awwww, son of a *****.

Son of a *****!!!

In other news Roy Hibbert came to play.

That 3 was more luck than anything though lol

EDIT: The 3 didn't count.

Also Paul George following up his triple double with a 16 point outing already.

2 techs have been called on the Hawks already too.

Josh Smith being out has literally turned the Atlanta offense into dribble upcourt really fast and try to get Korver a shot at 3. Just did that resulting in a shot 5 seconds into the clock 3 times. Went 1-3.

Hate hate hate leaving Smith on the bench there. Yes, he has 4 fouls. Thing is Atlanta isnt going to make any dent in the game without him. Be aggressive, take the risk. Its your only chamce to make this a game.

Can we just advance Indiana?

Atlanta just isn't really inspired or something. They haven't played bad, but they haven't been much of a threat either. Feels like Indiana gets anything they want and they're always up by 10 points.

Losing culture. The Hawks are a bad team with good players. In the Western Conference, and I hate to bring up this tired argument again, I don't think they'd be in the playoffs.

For sure, neither would Milwaukee.

Also Atlanta, is a sub par team, with sub par talent, playing in a sub par conference.

One fringe all star, Al Horford and a bunch of castoffs, gets you as far as they are going to get this year, a first round exit.

Team has virtually no identity and no legitimate player to build around. They need to go into tank mode and start over.

I fully expect PeeJ to do another **** coaching job tonight.

Also more of this from Reggie Evans

That's not a jab, it's just funny

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

That picture though lol. My man got every zoom level of Evans' face. As if it wasn't already clear in the first one.
