2015 NBA 'OFFS

xp the out of touch white sportswriters don't like rose much though

i think a lot of it is just that nobody knows how to evaluate a player of rose's caliber coming back from the injuries he's had

Ok I'm fine with the hack strategy but man does it threaten to turn these games into sox-yanks 4 hour jerkfests

the only reason i can think for rose getting the treatment he gets is the weird solemnity with which he carries himself, like he never looks like he's enjoying anything so he must be "important"

poor Austin's dunk doesn't count

lol kept going despite like 3 dudes tapping jordan repeatedly

hawse sighting

Still can't get used to idea of Blake as point forward no matter how many times he dribbled behind the back

Hawes needs some tattoos.

i do wonder if rose's lack of development can be tied to the injuries or would have been the case anyway. seems like so many sportswriters/whoever were looking for signs of the old rose or bemoaning what could've been, they weren't noticing the lack of development or if they were it was tangentially, another wrinkle to the late great derrick rose narrative. contrast to the speculation around blake griffin who came in the league two years later really (drafted a year later but missed rookie season) and the nitpicking until recently about him not taking his game to another level. ie if rose turns into marbury or steve francis or insert name here it's gonna get chalked up to the tragedy of derrick rose but isn't it possible this is close to the player he would've been anyway?

yeah possible tho obvs w an accelerated athletic decline

xp oh for sure, one part imo is that the bulls never asked him to do anything other than carry their entire offense in a v. inefficient fashion and the other part is that rose doesn't act like marbury or francis and dumbass sportswriters think all those guys are of the same easily-identified type

the austin rivers thing is getting a little out of control

ok that austin crossover was pretty legit

Uh so Austin rivers guys

Taking over.

I may be saying that bc he was pratfalling on a fast break 2 games ago and it's like grading on a curve but still

watching austin rivers for clues on how to get ppl to celebrate u every time u do one lil thing competently

So many fouls...

--lag∞n

Hack a dj really works they're gonna be tied by halftime

wow i didn't realize shaq took 25 FTs in a QUARTER once

hahahaha brewer

Brewer 😭😭😭

this is just sadistic

Show that Blake crossover again plz

I don't think redick actually knows how to shoot

jordan staying in the backcourt three straight possessions

houston playing scrubs to hack jordan prob counter productive

lol shaq taking this hacka stuff personal

Roy Orbison wrapped in clingfilm

i think i'm done with inside it is just a straight up bad watch these days

yea man not worth it even with EJ still being awesome

maybe if they swapped shaq for c-webb?

rockets need to hack more jordan its their only hope

lots of people really love shaq i guess, like there has to be a reason they let him run roughshod over what was once an untouchable institution

prob just someones bad idea

man that's a weak T

lmao blake grabbed him on the way down!

mchale waiting til theyre down 20 to call a timeout... its too late man

Sick pass by blake

shdve kept hacking

my favorite player is austin rivers

adios dwight

take pity upon dwight and eject him from the earth

lol they did

paul and griffin REALLY do not need to be in this game

doc needs to clear the bench what the heck

lol xp

average margin of victory for the clips since paul came back is a million zillion
