God dammit

Brutal pdx might be my favorite team in the west when they're on outside the splash bros show

Is Shaun Livingston wearing tights? Didn't Stern ban them a number of years ago?

iirc u just have to have a note from a medical professional saying they are for medical reasons

compression gear shd be banned tho its so ugly and all its purported medical benefits are fake as heck

or at least it shd have to match ur uniforms! these teams they have a lot of money they cld buy some coordinated compression gear

think the benefit is psychological

it does make u feel very pro its true

or just 'something is squeezing my limb, so it is probably still attached at the joint.'

yeah if ur worried abt a limb falling off its prob reassuring

Compression sleeves?

Feels good man idk

hawks assassinating the cavs w 70% shooting in the first quarter

compression is good/efficacious for treating swelling so i always assumed the sleeves/tights were akin to wearing an ace bandage or sleeve but just provided a little more freedom of motion but idk abt any of this speculation

love the old hawks unis

hawks >

big shot by brandon knight

wow nets missed 14 of their last 17 shots

rondo already has as many points in one quarter (10) as he got all night last night

he got embarrassed on national TV last night and must avenge himself

is mozgov really covered tho

i think based on how well kyrie is trapped yes

well yeah

is nate robinson really at the 10-day contract stage of his career?

has he proven he has anything left since his ACL?

I mean he was doing this as recently as October 2014 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sEUBr7kp0K8

shrek and donkey reunited!

the trades got them a legitimate nba lineup, not a championship lineup imho, i say they go down to a more disciplined seasoned well rounded team

i meant to call this post out at the time but to me it's clear that the cavs have as good a chance as anyone

really have u checked out their bench, do u know they start jr smith

their coach has never coached in the nba before

they have 7 playoff-quality players, that added to their top-heaviness is all you need for the playoffs

theres not really any such thing as a "playoff quality player" i mean different guys are appropriate for different roles, and they have at least a few who dont fit the mold, jr smith as a starter, tristan thompson as yr backup center, not sure what you think theyre gonna do about back up point in this seven man rotation either

worth mentioning too theyve been playing a tighter than most teams basically an eight man rotation over their recent successful streak, so the idea that they can tighten things up for the playoffs is a bit suspect, most other playoff teams have a more cuttable minutes going to mediocre players than the cavs do now

also bron has in the past been able to ramp up his minutes for the playoffs bigtime w/o any ill effects but i suspect that might not be the case any more, kyrie for all his brilliance def seems a little not ready too, feel he could be funneled into some pretty bad play

but they will prob make it to the efc just as a default so i guess w a little luck they cld beat atlanta, still overall i dont think theyre too strong

maybe the bulls will beat them in the 2nd round? wld be p cool

also they def lean too heavy on the stand around and watch bron / watch kyrie offense which doesnt play well in the 'offs

pelicans just beat the girz a night after losing to the celtics nba is crazy

lol wut sixers beat the hawks go home NBA you're drunk

i watched some of it hawks cldnt buy a shot, sixers D is p good tho
