Hassan Whiteside out for Game 4 of Heat-Raptors

rip big man(s)

so long as lowry and derozan stay unshook (not guaranteed) i think losing valanciunas hurts them less than the whiteside loss hurts miami

that said, if the raptors advanced as they currently are, the cavs very well might not lose a game till the finals

the raptors would be lucky to take a game from the cavs even at full strength

the cavs are kind of bound to have an off game or two, but yeah they're not gonna have trouble getting to the finals

raps can take a game or 2 from the cavs but yeah they're a huge underdog for the series

i think the heat at full strength could maybe take 2 from the cavs cuz they've had some hot shooting nights in the offs so far but the cavs are gonna sleepwalk thru the finals regardless

raps sweep cavs after mathew delveldova smashes into lebron like a bowling ball

Been enjoying the rejuvenated tony parker these last two games, looking very spry out there

he had one layup in the 4th quarter with some of the craziest english i've ever seen, like there was no way a ball that hit the board at that angle should have been anywhere near the basketball ring, let alone have gone in

Parker is one of those guys where every time he shoots I feel like it's going in. Especially in the offs

Yeah k3v that one they showed the replay from above the backboard and it looked like it just actually defied physics

ya that was nuts

being able to do that while hurling fullspeed at the basket with a 7ftr looming over you in borderline supernatural

occult ball

feel like we don't talk enough about how occult rites are present in nba basketball

(exception being m. bison's ongoing analysis of rune usage among the spurs)

been sorely lacking in this thread tbh

he doesn't quite come out and say it but this lowe piece makes the point that the thunder are beating the spurs by going big after a whole season of people saying that the spurs were zigging away from the league by going big http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15492500/staying-steven-adams-helped-thunder-even-their-series-spurs

I think this is the end of the road for ol timmy

Haven't read it yet but I did think the Adams-kanter halal towers look was p beastly for a stretch, also kind of surprising which is not something I've ever thought about an okc substitution

There is a lot of strong hair in this series, really driving home that the tyranny of the Jordan shaved head is over and it can take its place as one of a variety of baller styles

I don't know enough about josh Richardson to say if he'll be good but he's definitely not scared

he's been shooting real well

iirc he was low key v good at tenn. def a good gamble for miami

renaissance wade is completely unbelievable, i'm in awe
