2015 NBA 'OFFS

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

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

im willing to acknowledge the possibility tho i did not find this game fun

its just frustrating and lame when the teams play basketball bad is how i break it down

the bad version of that game was every bulls playoff game without rose because you knew they had no chance of making any real noise in the playoffs so they were boring to no end

but if you can't enjoy a bron dogfight vs the bulls with real shit on the line i feel bad for you son

Rose is the only healthy PG in the NBA rn

i feel the same way abt yr cp3 loathing (he is actually good at basketball btw)

also that game was not really a dog fight, more of a clown car

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

because he's a selfish moron with a tough, no-nonsense coach who mysteriously can't stand up to a player who actually does something wrong.

and like is "real shit on the line" really, the east is drawing dead prob has something to do with it being hard to get too excited abt this series

As a cbball fan, I'm ok with teams shooting less than 40%.

tho tbh i am curious who will climb to the top of the trash heap

rose 3 pointer thing reminds me that the only guy who solved the riddle of how to get Baron Davis to stop shooting 3s was.... Donald Sterling

have a feeling rose wld prob be susceptible to sustained public ridicule from his boss

rose takes some selfish shots but with pau out he's only ever playing with max one player who has a chance in hell of creating a shot

w kyrie hobbled might not be a bad idea to goto the rose/brooks backcourt more

btw i don't dislike watching chris paul play (let's dig up some ILH posts from hornets-lakers first round). i just don't like him.

omg u said u liked watching the clippers more w/o him in this very thread!

thru the lens of me wanting to root for them

Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley struggling to figure out why a team that went from Pat Beverley to Jason Terry as starting pg is having defensive issues

i want the clippers to win begrudgingly bcuz clips-warriors is the best possible west finals and i thought their no-cp underdog vibe was fun which made it easier to root for them
