2015 NBA 'OFFS

http://bkref.com/tiny/DMoDs

We should have a goon v Armstrong fite thread over the summer wld be good entertainment for the offseason

Btw that Tim Duncan coaching Etan Thomas story moullet posted is hilarious

Reminds me of the clips of Andrew luck telling guys who just sacked him "nice job" and "good hit"

he is pippenesque but he's not quite as good as pippen yet but he's only 23 hey guys it's saturday ur wasting ur lives

bout to picnic B-)

I love you goonie, enjoy the picnic.

thank u friend xo i am at the deli buying tacos now

whoa whoa whoa tacos are not picnic food this is the real fight

tacos are anytime food bc theyre great

man, Kris Humphries wtf dude

ugh, schroeder is killing us, korver is cold, alison brie is at the game w/ her franco bf, this game is painful to watch

Brooklyn really isn't that bad with the rejuvenated Bropez

yeah that's what i'm telling myself, 'thad young's really working out for them' etc.

we're fucked.

i've been telling myself that the hawks are just warming themselves up again, but i'm starting to wonder. maybe this loss will shake em up

I would say there are some similarities between that game and the spurs' first game, as in hawks missed a bunch of shots they usually make and I wouldn't predict that to happen two games in a row

bulls bucks already getting back into the chippiness

Deron had that shot to tie game 2 with like 10 seconds left tho, this series has been close.

it's entirely possible that the dude doing play by play for the bulls-bucks series has not seen an entire NBA game this year

Kev will concede the point soon, like Jord did with the 2011 draft. But you, you have the long term potential to find a problem with a Kawhi MVP season or something.

ha i have long conceded that gobert is not actually a rich man's ryan hollins, but it does still make me chuckle to think about it, i mean at heart the guy is an overathletic spaz

the bucks are playing the right way so far

if gobert had Hollins' hops we'd have to change the name of the sport to Gobertball or something

Jimmy butler just personally decided this game should be tied by halftime and made it happen

bulls with home court advantage in milwaukie a lil sad

Also these couple of minutes for the bucks are a good argument for having a veteran point somewhere on the bench for a young team

i didn't think cliff paul ish could get cornier but this identity theft one where it's like "do you get it, it's chris paul, but he's wearing a fake mustache and glasses, that is the hilarious joke" has me like @statefarm delete your account

such an underrated dunk here

yea lol close city proximity will do that

milwaukee pro teams have always been happy to tap into that home away from home market for chicago sports fans. selig actually moved the brewers from the american league to the national league so they could have the cubs in the same division.

given how many minutes jimmy buckets will inevitably play he's gotta be on track to score like 50 or some shit

greek freak fired the fuck up!

I hate that Minnesota isn't in the same conference/division as Milwaukee major Matt Armstrong pet peeve

other than the literal geographical issue, whys that

fun ending so far

yeah, like i'll daydream of ways to move new orleans and memphis to the east and then i'm like who can i move to the west and the only plausible team really is milwaukee and there's no way in hell they're gonna let themselves be in a different conference from chicago and moving chicago to the west almost definitely just exacerbates imbalance issues longterm irregardless of how good that team is right now. basically just do away w/ conferences, go to that weird four or five mega divisions thing someone proposed, accept you can't have truly balanced schedules for every team plus teams don't want it - the bucks want to play the bulls more than they play the suns and the suns want to play the lakers more than they play the bucks - and just do it 1-16 and any inequalities or unfairness in the system will be weeded out by having seven game series. baseball and football don't rig their playoffs to have some sort of geographical balance in the finals, maybe when there were really good odds the finals were going to be lakers-celtics and lakers-celtics was a really optimal scenario for a league that wasn't as established or strong as mlb it made sense to have a system that funneled things to that matchup but it's 2015.

I think Steph just phase shifted wow I've never seen that move before

Quick reaction by Kidd and Dudley calling timeout!

Also stupid hero ball by rose trying to split a triple team with a behind the back dribble

Also never passing on a full possession to win the game

jared dudley, heroballer

wow nice

Lol Bayless knew rose can't make that Manu style back cut fast enough and burned him

or wait nvm bayless stupid similar names and matching headbands

Dudley threw a great pass tho

there's probably several reasons this couldn't happen beyond logistics and inertia but maybe you could do away w/ divisions and then for scheduling since not everyone can play everyone else an equal amount of times you do it that every team has a home and home w/ every other team in the league and then the rest of the schedule is purely determined by previous year's record a la the nfl (sorta, only like two or three games are determined that way in the nfl schedule). this would 1) increase number of holy shit amazing matchup games every season 2) generate more out of nowhere cinderella teams 3) incentivize winning and create something as close to relegation as could be possible in american professional sports since bottom dwelling teams either thru incompetence or design would lose out on revenue. this might solve the tanking issue since it's really hard to deliberately construct a team that can put up one of the worst records in the league playing a disproportionate number of its games against equally awful teams several years in a row.

wow norris cole doin some dumb shit out here

aka why you never trust ex-heatles

other than the literal geographical issue, whys that

Man you go either place and all you hear is badger this and gopher that, natural rivalry

Uh oh klay alert

Oops he missed the heat check 3

man brooms should be on deck in NOLA

kevin love has a national tv commercial in which rebounding is a metaphor for the restorative qualities of... chocolate milk #branding
