i have something to say about the offs THE 2016 NBA PLAYOFFS

holy smokes theyve already broke the record for threes in a half with 8 minutes left in the 2nd

13 so far

fucking hell

Lebro is Locked in

3pt shoooting in the fist half

hawks 2-11
cavs 18-27

This is unreal.

Watching the Hawks get straight up murdered tonight, damnnnnnn

Harlan being reduced to just screaming "No! No! No!" at jr smith three bombs

regular season record for 3p makes in a game is 23, playoffs record 21

and cavs made it to 23!!! rad

wish I could've watched this game, instead my wife and I had to hash out details about our move to cleveland which is actually happening for real now. I already talked to my brothers about getting some season tickets for next year

Too bad bron gonna be on the banana boat somewhere else

25 threes good lord

nah the bananaboat is coming to cle

(prob not really though)

Cavs averaging 15.6 3-pointers per game in postseason thus far. All-time postseason record is 11.7 per game by 2013 Rockets.

this could be a problem

i assume this one game has skewed the average since they've only played 6 games right

yeah, but they are balling

live by jr... ... ... die by jr

yeah that's what i'm hoping but now i'm even more disappointed we didn't show up for game one

I would like to remind everyone that J.R. Smith was the "cost" of trading for Iman Shumpert.

is it accurate to say that jr has improved immensely the past few weeks/months as a player? without looking at stats it seems that way idk, he just seems a lot more serious

He's the definition of a streaky player and sometimes his streaks last weeks or even months

this is def some of the best he's ever played but I'm not convinced he won't randomly bodyslam Bazemore or go 0-13 any moment

he does look very locked in and has been playing great d in the playoffs

never trust JR smith

^finals thread title

i feel like cleve fans/j.r. believers are the frog riding atop the scorpion's back rn and the stinger might not come till the finals but it's always a threat

word

no matter what though jr's been a lot of fun lately

i remember korver was on jj reddick's podcast a little while back and they both were effusive in their praise for jr smith

could even be as simple as JR forgoing nightclubs for the playoffs

jr took some extremely bad shots yesterday, and they went it

It's the scorpion riding on the fox's back.

JR Smith was really bad in the finals last year

he was awful

He was great!

For the Warriors!

*feel like this year will be different for jr*

feelings can mislead a person about what is real and what isn't

That song is pretty amazing.

To score you need to shoot
To score more you need to shoot more
Hoops galore

it really is

"It's a certain way of being a professional," Millsap told Cleveland.com's Chris Haynes. "I'm not mad about it, but just being professionals man. If that's how you want to approach it, that's how you approach it. I think our team and our organization has class and I don't think we would have continued to do that, but other organizations do other things so what can you do about it?"

Head coach Tyronn Lue's group attempted seven more 3-pointers during the final six minutes, despite holding a 28-point lead.

Had the shoe been on the other foot, Hawks big man Al Horford believes his team would have done things a lot differently.

"We probably wouldn't do anything like that [if we were in that position]," he said. "... It's hard to say, but I would say no."

lol millsap playing the 'classy' card. must still have the ghost of jerry sloan sitting on his shoulder

im not mad i actually think its classy

If you don't want the other team to shoot a three, steal the ball or block the shot. Relying on them to voluntarily stop shooting the ball so you won't feel quite so bad about the beating you took is stupid.

yea millsap that was super corny

klay/barnes graph otm yes

heat 9 turnovers in 10 minutes is nagl
