Other Sports ****OFFICIAL NBA Playoffs Thread**** - Page 165

Have been banned from the other thread by an apparently sensitive snowflake (ironically after dozens of pages of political discussion from others) so I'll stick my thoughts on the NBA Playoffs here from now on. We needed a new thread anyway.

Can’t believe that lead evaporated so quick

That should not be a foul on Giannis whatsoever. Payne just stopped while dribbling the ball down the court and leaned into him.

Sure if they are vaccinated they might not have to sit but I doubt a lot of the top stars are. CP3 missed 2-3 games in the last series because he got COVID. The Bucks also have a coach missing tonight’s game so they may have an outbreak brewing.

If they aren't, they should be. There shouldn't be any excuses at this point. I assure you the league doesn't want to have their stars missing games and/or cancelling/postponing games (and losing money) for the rest of time. It needs to be something that is resolved with the players going forward.

Holiday playing awesome

CP3 may actually want to do something again in this series if Phoenix is going to do something.

Suns can't handle Middelton. CP3 ran out of gas after game 2. Great season but it's on the brink here. Giannis is not losing a championship close out game at home.

I totally agree but the top star says his status is private. Meaning he isn’t

I guarantee Mahomes is vaccinated though

I don't think he can. Too bad. Ran out of gas.

Being around LeBron James for years, he’s always been private about his medical and never been one to endanger his family or teammates. This statements puts one thing to rest: he’s been vaccinated. https://t.co/Afiwc65fLh

Might want to check again there. Not sure what this has to do with anything though. They all should be.

Game 5 of the NBA Finals is not a great time to run out of gas.

I would certainly agree with that.

Suns are in trouble

Giannis is just so plainly and by far the best player in this series. If he gets any help whatsoever (and he has tonight), the Bucks are just the better team.
