2015 NBA 'OFFS

when will he learn

yea like I sort of understand the blake point power forward thing but like cp3 is there for a reason

the blake power point thing is fun (and works better) when it's spontaneous. he's not quite skilled enough to actually be lebron james by design

pat beverly is a dead ringer for the RZA

lol spawes from the parking lot

oh, spencer hawes

wow the rox can play without employing hack-a I'd forgotten

disastrous 1st half for the clips

did i miss anything in the first game? should i watch? when was the "fight"?

your screen name is rude man

it was in Q3 and stupid and bad

check out this insane sloth yall

lol I know what it's in ref to I'm not genuinely offended/to be fair I am a lunatic on here sometimes like getting bent out of shape about clickbait/deadspin etc that by rights should not frustrate me

*etc, shit that by rights

Blakely claims a "60-65% chance" that Matthews will be a Celtic next year. Toscano upped the ante to 75%. Then again, Blakely also said there's a 70% chance that Boston will land Detroit Pistons forward Greg Monroe. So far we're up to about a billion percent.

In a separate video with the same theme, Blakely drops the bombshell that the Celtics have a "35-40% chance" of landing Aldridge and will actively seek to land both Portland players.

lol is the boston sports media really this insane

jeez the rox can't miss when was the last time that was true - game 5 of the mavs series?

xp....yes it is :/

greg monroe is by no means implausible but that aside come onnnn

smart / matthews / turner / aldridge / monroe with thomas, sully, olynyk, zeller, bradley is a pretty killer fever dream lineup tbf

oh man this must be super hard for doc

oh shit

guess it was worse than it looked

I mean less worse jeez

*gives up typing forever*

just a hard fall, he'll be ok

two gems in this screengrab

listening to lowe's podcast with JVG, and god JVG is such a save-a-coach, literally no coach ever deserves to be fired to him

haha i wondered if anyone else listened to that - he gets so heated! especially about spencer hawes's problems, apparently

obviously his bias is understandable and he's right to an extent in that sometimes player problems are attributed to coaches as if theyre solely coaching problems, but the coach is never not at least a partial factor and sometimes is the only problematic factor

Police: Cavaliers forward Kendrick Perkins involved in verbal dispute with wife on side of road

his wife's name is vanity! also lol at this key detail -

Perkins played just 90 seconds in Cleveland's playoff win over Chicago on Tuesday night.

Taj Gibson is as handsome as Sam Cassell.

This is jvg's sole weakness as a commentator, basketball mind and general crank, he's just a little too dedicated to the coaching fraternity code

On the upside he is a good voice for just how hard coaching guys at the NBA level is and usually points out some good things that guys who get piled on are actually doing

ya and coaches are fired all the time for organizational failures

tho sometimes theyre fired cause theyre bad

Or just too limited for what's needed like Monty Williams

Like Scott skiles was awesome at getting awful young teams to get their shit together but was probably never gonna coach a conference finalist

I know he's been doing some amount of good stuff but man...I just cannot get over the amount of burn Drew gooden gets for the Wizards

I thought picking up Dejuan Blair was going to solve that but he's been a healthy scratch all playoffs and barely played past the first two months of the season- did his no acl thing catch up with him or what?

and on cue gooden gets rejected by bazemore and commits a dumb foul on the other end

My problem with him is that he's invisible or fine a chunk of time but then has stretches where he duffs like three plays in a row with various easily preventable mistakes

there is a reason he was out the league the whole year!

*a whole year

literally who is muscala

wall is ridiculous

he made a good pass w his broken in five places hand

rooting hard for the wiz, john wall is awesome

The Hawks need 13 points in the last 5:48 to avoid their lowest-scoring game of the season.
