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

they sort of have a thibs/bulls kinda thing going on now where they have such a strong system/culture that they excel in the regular season but it sorta cracks in the playoffs

calm down, they won the title two years ago, we are talking about a sample size of 2 series.

this is crazy, sooooo not what I expected from this series

ethan strauss from espn said on a true hop podcast the other day that someone from the warriors told him that the spurs offense was much more predictable/easier to defend than people think

bc it is! dump the ball into the post, try some shit, works? shoot. dont work? pass to someone. oh shit look at the time *heaves*

yeah

meanwhile if the thunder blow this durant will leave and it will be the most crippling loss in recent nba history

marc stein just tweeted that the spurs are interested in mike conley yessssss

that makes a lot of sense

this OKC collapse would be amazing

mike breen is amazing at announcing stunning momentum shifts

oh god timmy

:(

damn they were right there

we need tmac right now

marc stein just tweeted that the spurs are interested in mike conley yessssss
― 6 god none the richer (m bison)

yeah i was thinking that might happen! a lot of pacers fans want to sign him because he's an indiana guy. i'm not convinced - he's 28 and just missed half the season with a foot injury.

he missed like 25 games

mike conley would be perfect and i endorse it

ya kinda weird they abandoned the crazy ball movement that one them a title

i am happy for conley to go to the spurs also

looks like tp is due $15 mil for the next two years? and david west has a player option for 1.5 next season haha

conley isnt a max player, but he'll be at least 12-15 mil a year, so the spurs will have to shed some salary to make it work. bet patty mills and boris are on the block.

i guess i'd actually like conley better if he made more than one and a half threes a game but maybe with a spreadier offense than whatever the grizzlies were doing the past few years might open him up some

spurs have developed tony into a three point shooter, theyd find spots on the floor for him to hit em (the corner especially)

Someone actually asked a relevant and substantive coaching question and popvich went with "are you a coach now?"

congrats to the refs on defeating the spurs

refs undefeated, GOATs

Crazy that ibaka is like the 5th best player on okc now

Pretty sad we didn't get a game 7

xp
kd
russ
refs
adams
ibaka?

congrats to the great nba coach billy donovan

Something like that xp

seriously tho it sucks kd is gonna entertain like a dozen teams trying to court him this summer and there will be a zillion articles about it and then he'll resign with the thunder and I will die of boredom

ya rly, this series should put to bed any idea that he's leaving.

so basically go dubs, trash the fuck out of this wack association

idk things cld look diff if the dubs destroy them xp

Swear every game these teams have played the last couple years has been close.

And they destroy the dubs on the glass so if bogut is out...

Could just go death lineup for 35 minutes a game tho

ya my memory is more close games until the dubs win by 15

I want 4 repeats of that ESPN game earlier this year where steph won it with a 35 footer at the buzzer

warriors are obviously favored but i at least hope it's a real contest

haha yea he was testy

q: "after such an amazing 67-win season, are you disappointed with this result"
pop: "everyone gets disappointed, only one team in the end is not disappointed"

kinda sad for the spurs but salty af Pops bringing the goods

Thunder with Adams and Kanter on the floor: +27 in 66 minutes
Thunder otherwise: -30 in 222 minutes

Goddamn

Oklahoma City outscored San Antonio by 21.8 points per 100 possessions with Adams and Kanter sharing the floor, making it the most effective of the team’s 25 most-used two-man units in the series. Durant and Westbrook (+4.0) didn’t come close.

When Adams and Kanter played together, the Thunder grabbed 45.1% of available offense rebounds and 84.1% of available defensive rebounds – marks that would’ve led the NBA by miles.

:O

whoa

They're saying boguts injury isn't bad.
