2015 NBA 'OFFS

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

but he duz not rebound much no mo commercial inaccurate

if this was minny love the offensive boards alone would do it tho

I have not seen this commercial is it on ESPN or TNT?

just ran during the last dubs & pelis break

I must've missed it I'm at a bar and the hoops are only on one televisions as opposes to the basedball and white ppl with sticks bullshit on many televisions

(xps clay)

lol dayo

o man ESPN cameras just had the long painful "life comes at you fast" close up on monty's face

AD chipping away single handed tho

i love the harden taco bell commercial for real, like the director was all "james just be you, just say your thoughts and feelings about breakfast, about fashion, really just say whatever. we love you here at the bell."

davis is for real beasting rn

rip to the brow c u in october

also rip to the rest of the pelicans, for whom i do not really care

go blazermen

I support anyone in the same underdog boat as my team

what the heck

wes has been calling himself "ironman" for a few years bc he plays through injuries or something. like when he scores the gameops guys play the riff to the sabbath song and stuff. it is silly.

is harvey firestein doing color on this game wth

is por cooked? abtum looks injured

everyone is injured and they are bad

but i mean portland isn't really like suddenly cooked so much as they've been a sub .500 team since the all-star break and memphis is maybe the worst matchup in the west for them other than gsw

found my new fave hashtag

but legit none of these make sense bc none of them are kevin love or rajon rondo or juiceman

*those

from what i can tell #futurelaker is a good way to find what young players are doing well at the moment in a nationally broadcast game

this is why lakers fans are the actual worst people who have ever existed in the history of ever

brow averaged 31-11-3blk for that series

He was so good and it still felt like they didn't use him enough on offense. His midrange game is already top notch.
