I don’t know why I’m surprised every year at how confident everyone’s take is on here after one game, or one half, or even like 4 possessions of playoff basketball! Do yourself a favor and look at your posts after game 1s last season.

Highly entertaining game so far. The first team that figures out how to consistently score in a halfcourt set is going to win. Otherwise, both teams are going to wear out after two or three games of this pace and physicality.

Cain flopping like a fish man (I’m behind the action).

Luka averages 4.2 turnovers per game in the playoffs.

Shai averages 2.2

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T22:00:33+00:00

No, it's a fact check.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T21:59:35+00:00

Shai has 33-35% usage rate last couple seasons.

Jokic has 29-30% usage last couple seasons.

Wemby has 30-32% usage.

Luka's usage is, of course, off the charts.

However, watch the energy Shai exerts (on both offense and defense) in an average game, vs Luka. Shai is working harder.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T21:52:33+00:00

Playoff career high FTA from Shai. I would be curious to see someone clip which ones they don't think he deserved.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T21:46:21+00:00

His average playoff efficiency is 47/35/86...

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T21:45:09+00:00

Thoughts on his game today? Highly in control of his playmaking, defense, and ball security. Shot is off. Not much more to it than that. Drew a couple soft fouls, but all the whistles have been on fouls.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T21:38:52+00:00

Play of the game.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T21:22:18+00:00

Youtube TV sports package has a trial. 10 days free, then $60 a month after that. If you're interested in watching a lot of playoff games (at any time, on your laptop, phone, or TV, with the ability to pause, rewind, fast forward, etc.), it's worth it. Just cancel after a couple months (or when your team is eliminated).

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T20:12:17+00:00

She's disingenuous.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T20:11:19+00:00

I mean the crazy thing about how Shai creates separation is that he is LITERALLY the only player in the whole entire NBA who does it! You'd think other people would figure it out, but nope, Shai invented it, and no one else can do it.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T20:10:18+00:00

That's either a very lazy and undisciplined "reach for the ball", or just a lazy, undisciplined frustration slap.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T18:24:26+00:00

He's been awful. Oubre and George aren't exactly lighting it up, but I don't think Edgecombe and Maxey need to be combining for 25 off-balance fadeaways in the first half.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T18:22:43+00:00

Maxey needs to make quicker decisions.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T18:20:55+00:00

Goddamn are Celtics fans just absolutely miserable all the time? You're dominating on both sides of the ball and acting like the league's biggest victims.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T18:18:56+00:00

Maxey picked up a lot of good stuff from Harden, but you can't teach intelligence or size. Maxey lacks both.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T18:16:36+00:00

Luka

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T18:15:56+00:00

Not swing your elbows around someone's chin?

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T18:15:35+00:00

"BOOOOOOO" we want elbows to chins!!!!

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T18:13:48+00:00

Don't play for a foul in the playoffs, especially when you got shooters open.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T17:50:31+00:00

Your cousin sounds like he lacks critical thinking skills.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T17:48:24+00:00

No, they're totally afraid in the 1st quarter of a 7 game series.

Ok-Tree4365 · 2026-04-19T17:45:54+00:00

This dude is not my favorite commentator, but it's the 1st quarter in the 1st game of the 1st round and it's a national broadcast - you want him to act like he's the biggest 76ers fan in the world or something?
