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

lowry is just bumming me out at this point. so off his game it is hard to watch

maybe he's depressed

speaking of gerald green I should've saved my coke joke for him bc he legit looks like he did 3 bumps in 3 seconds

just put it in down low for jv every possession

drake not at this game?

was that Lowry's first bucket of the 4th

lol ok wade

Wade with this playoff magic from 3 is ridiculous

this is intense!

toronto gonna lose by 1 and it will be a downer

lowry found his shot

wow what a terrible play/shot

jeeeeesus

lowery walking the ball up what the heck

he hit two consecutive shots then forgot how to play basketball

What the fuck is Jon Barry talking about

derozan and lowry combined 16-46 from the field, 3-10 from the line

miami doing a good job offsetting raps terrible shooting w a ton of turnovers.

both lowry and derozan better than 85% ft shooters in non-shook scenarios iirc xp

starting to think ding is not a great inbounder

evergreen comment

Carroll had some really tremendous defensive plays down the stretch, I didn't think he looked healthy all season but maybe he is now

Whiteside is the greatest defender I've seen who isn't really any good one on one

such a weird player

This Toronto thing is so bizarre.

Carroll played great but also was the one that gave up that three to dragon to tie it.

i really don't get why the heat kept going to joe johnson post ups on carroll. it's a decent play when he's got a guard on him but blech.

Such bad offense from both teams

Toronto doesn't run anything

hassan played great tonight. it was one of the good whiteside games where he was scoring at the rim and also clogging up the opposing offense just by being in the paint. lowry and derozan dribbled away from the basket a bunch of times when hassan was under there.

but jonas was eating him up at the end of the game when hassan looked pretty gassed to me. i wonder how his stamina is generally right now, he's at the point now where he's played more games this season than he has in his entire career combined and he has to do so much for the heat every game. things get really sketchy for them with him out. sometimes the game shakes out where they don't get too hurt when he's off the floor but it's pretty harrowing every night.

Lowry had a couple of these and some better looks he ran thru that seemed always to end in worse shots

if you forget the part where they turned the ball over 5 million times the heat's offense was pretty decent for a night when they weren't randomly hitting threes but the end of game stuff is getting really frustrating. both tonight, game 1 of this series and game 6 of the hornets series dragic dominated the second half but got turned into window dressing in the final few minutes.

it was nice to see spo run a real play on that dragic 3. not sure i'd ever seen that action before. they tried to run it again in OT but the raptors had it marked.

the heat shouldn't have lost that game but i feel pretty good about their chances of wrapping it up in 6 some way or another

crazy both games went into ot

torontos D was insanely good from the point when they were down 8 they just raised their energy level very high, p sweet to see

passes per game, playoffs

Interesting about the blazers being so low on the list. I'd be curious to see how many assists each team made, in contrast to just passing the ball.

info is here http://stats.nba.com/tracking/#!/team/passing/?sort=PASSES_MADE&dir=1

portlands 4th in assists

its interesting the dub have a lot of scorers (tho steph has been out for most of the playoffs) and pass a lot, but boston passes a lot cause they dont have anyone who can create a shot

i saw some figures somewhere that showed ball movement, player movement, pace, and quality of shot selection (via distance of nearest defender i think) for all teams during reg season, and dubs were like #1 in all of them but celtics were the team closest behind them in all 4

I was so uninterested in the end of that heat-raptors game that I just turned it off when it went to ot

Also it feels like the west series have been off for three months

yeah these breaks were way too long

Millsap has got to quit cheating on d when he's guarding love

The Cavaliers have now set a record for 3-pointers through nine playoff games. This is their seventh game of postseason.

want to see kover some how kill delly w a three

why do the Cavs looked gassed in the 2nd Q?

shooting threes is hard
