2015 NBA 'OFFS

wldve been extremely easy to double bron there and have one player cover two on the weakside considering the time/inbounding location btw

yup

refs missing blatt clearly calling timeouts he didn't have adds a nice layer of conspiracy to this game

lol blatt my god

I don't understand how you could argue with jvg. the cavs ran a set after the bulls perfectly burned the cavs remaining time outs.

Oh I'm not arguing and I think we all agree that was dumb and should be fixed

I am just always amused when jvg gets mad about something

is that a T in the NBA?

Yeah that was horrible, what happens if the coach does that? I forget

Right I think it's a T, I know I've seen it happen in the last few years

the buzzerbeaters have been great, but they're kinda masking what is otherwise a pretty godawful series

yeah it was an awful game

neither team can do offense and half the players are dead

that game was fun you guys are crazy

the offense wasn't great but it was a tight game with some big runs and a bunch of huge shots, dramatic throughout

neither team cracked 40% from the field, half the players were limping, idk hard to care too much under those conditions

this is insane

im sorry i just feel like basketball is better when the teams playing are good

i mean any game can be intense or have runs, quality basketball would be nice tho

blatt timeout https://vine.co/v/emDlHMqHb1a

That's literally the view from the grassy knoll

idk think it was just a dumb blatt move (one of many) that didn't get noticed

this has def been a fun series but that kind of stems from the inherent parity of two teams not playing their best, rather than them both playing lights out

LeBron on benefit of free timeout: "To be honest, the play that was drawn up, I scratched it."

Man he just cannot pass up an opportunity to take a shot at his coach anymore huh

blatt is such a clown

if LeBron wasn't so weird and crazy I'd dislike him

as an aside, the league needs to stop this bullshit with coaches waltzing onto the court for timeouts. It's shameless grandstanding most of the time anyway.

"quality basketball"

I watch about 100000 NBA games a year and this game was def. in the top 10%

dude come on you watch basketball you know what i'm talking about. the drama is great but two teams failing to hit 40% of their shots leaves a lot to be desired xp

you're making up an arbitrary stat that defines whether a game was good

come on

you're being willfully dense

i was def way less excited by the game tying game winning sequence because both teams played so poorly there were long stretches where neither of them could really dribble let alone shoot thats my experience and i demand you respect it also derrick rose takes comically terrible shots constantly

i mean most of that game was objectly bad basketball

i mean it's one thing if it's a true defensive struggle, like maybe the pacers/heat playoff games. but neither of these teams is exactly great on defense. it was just bad offense

i'm not being dense i just have a capacity to enjoy a basketball game in which both teams may or may not shoot 40%

"shooting 40%" is obv a surrogate for "bad offense"

the offense was very bad its true

you guys should be forced to watch replays of the rockets-mavs series for the next month

no one enjoyed that series either. the first round was mostly very bad

we all agreed the first round was bad except for the spurs-clips instant classic

it was a fun game, there were also egregiously bad stretches of offense - especially those two bulls droughts

I would still hazard a guess that rockets clippers will end up be a worse game and not just because the rox will almost without a doubt play like garbage

too many injuries in bulls-cavs both teams are totally off kilter

*being, jeez

also derrick rose takes comically terrible shots constantly

he does it with humility and grit. Not like that little fucker Isaiah Thomas (who makes more of them)

there was one towards the end of the fourth where he pulled up early in the clock for a long contested three that was totally flat and bricked off the front rim that was just like wow why does he do that

it was a jr smith type shot except smith is at least a much better shooter and known lunatic

games with bad offense can still be fun!!! open your minds
