2015 NBA 'OFFS

i didn't see the final two games of the clippers series, can someone explain to me what happened -- i know in game 6 josh smith turned into ray allen but that's about it

man you really should just re-watch the second half of game 6, pretty historical moment

basically the clippers saw the light at the end of the tunnel and took their foot off the gas. and when things started swinging back the rockets way the clips got really tight and stopped running their sets. obviously the rockets needed a one in a million performance from brewer and smith to make it happen but still

Soon as jet blocked cp in game 6 I knew they were in trouble

ten more years of these guys.

Barkley’s new deal includes access to appear on CNN for issues beyond sports including race, education and politics. Now here's something that might surprise you: Barkley will also be covering the Olympics for Bleacher Report. Or at least he has the option to do if he wants.

It'd be cooler if any of these guys actually followed the NBA anymore

itd be cooler if shaq instead of being renewed was murdered

and that too

lol those ??? almost seem like they're taunting like 'gee i wonder what's going to happen'

well just have to wait and find out ???

lol those are all Jordan Bulls teams right

yup

"You've got to give (Paul) just some more support, you know?" Rivers told USA TODAY Sports. "I think bringing (his son) Austin (Rivers) here (in mid-January) helped us. We've got a 22-year-old (in Austin), and now to me we've got to get another guard who's in the middle age group. So now you're growing with Austin and CJ (Wilcox), and we need another defensive guy too."

lol parenthetical zing

Rivers (who is an idiot btw) told USA TODAY Sports.

i think doc got into the pills again

shoulda got Paul more support than Matt Barnes like 2 years ago

Warriors center Andrew Bogut says he's got a case of hay fever but insists he'll be fine in Game 1 "as long as there's no pollen in Oracle"

OAKLAND - Clint Capela, rookie power forward for the Houston Rockets, was arrested and arraigned on charges of breaking and entering by local authorities after being caught and held by Oracle Arena security personnel at 4:45 a.m. Capela was found carrying a massive lawn trimmings bag full of pollen strands.

Definitely build your team around CJ Wilcox, good thinking.

Kerr's practice methods are interesting:

I have a few delusional Houston Rockets fans in my mentions. this dude just compared Harden to Jordan in earnest.

i love sage but is this crew really the best espn can do for pre and half entertainment? such a weak team.

like this network m/l owns american sports and they roll with jalen rose and doug collins dryly talking about strategy

yeah it's pretty bargain basement, feel like espn doesn't value nba studio shows at all

like once magic left and simmons didn't work out they said fuck it

Should've made monster offers to c-Webb and Gary Payton and put them with...uh who knows whoever really!

But yeah I don't mind jalen and Collins tho both are better outside that format but ESPN def does not prioritize those shows, deliberately

Ugh literally seconds after Clint Capela first scores and mjax busts out his obviously prepared a-Capella pun

He is the worst

i really don't get why david lee is playing so much

there's literally no way the rockets hold this lead right

dubs looking v flat

didn't see this coming

god what if harden and dwight won the chip i would die

there's literally no way the rockets hold this lead right

as a betting man w no knowledge of the sport of basketball i'm also v interested to know

if you're seriously gambling id say stick with the warriors for a series pick but if you made an individual game bet on the rockets I wouldn't be terrified about it, which is a shocking prospect

the line is still warriors -2.5 on bovada, lol

yep def didn't see this run coming

dubs disrespecting dwight w this small lineup

and still getting all he offensive boards

lollll yup

draymond fired up

klay taking it to the hole repeatedly agl

they're also not letting harden draw fouls a lot which is v important of course

steph my god

lol @ sea world having to run ads that are basically like "uh we are not terrifying animal abusers" that's not how you win a war heads up to yr pr dept

Fuck sea world forever.

oh yeah they're the worst obv just like hilarious they don't get the basic political tenant of "don't run ads where you say that you don't beat your kids, you're just getting more people to acknowledge that you are capable of terrible things" it stinks of panicky desperation

scouting report consider guarding steph curry

seems reasonable

Risky strategy
