THE 2017 NBA 'OFFS™

well I guess the important thing is the young fellas learned an important lesson: don't spot the warriors 14 points in the first two minutes of an elimination game

even more to the point, don't play the dubs in the first round when you were 41-41 and they were 67-15; it ends badly.

I enjoyed the wiz hawks game but i like this hawks team for some reason and was hoping they would square it up. i really like watching schroeder and when dwight plays like he did tonight they are pretty tough. also lots of good eyebrows on that squad, hardaway jr (best in the league), milsap, baze, thabo

pdx was ready for summer no shame in that.

glad they saw the light and kept nurk on the bench this time around

for sure.

warriors bench has turned out to be better than last years.

these normal powell dunks O__0

it2 def the worst in the league at it currently

"the worst at it" is the wrong way to thing about it, hes the best at it

This was awesome

He's not lying about the called shot on that win streak either- Durant told that story a couple of places too the last few months

otm. it doesnt bug me at all btw

kinda feel like they shd clean up the hand under the ball stuff but on the other hand he is insanely crafty at it so i have to give him credit like u watch some of those full speed and they look normal then in slowmo its like holy shit hes devious

yeah the 3 steps before putting the ball down is crazy in slo mo.

waiters article was awesome.

seems kinda ridiculous to moan about the UNSTOPPABLE ADVANTAGE that the 5'9 guy has

just block his shot already jeez

literally everybody in the nba puts their hand under the ball on the dribble. that horse has left the barn

Carrying was much more flagrant in the late 90s, maybe they'll crack down on it again

yah this was great - i didn't realize he was from south philly. i wonder how close he was to me

the headline is so good

eh i am fine with the refs doing their jobs

what is the refs job, makes u think

to swallow the whistles at the end of the game, but also to swallow the whistles if other rules are broken

it's really a very clear and easy job when you think about it. just don't call certain things that are in the rulebook but call other things that are, based on whether i like them

their job is to "don the stripes"

assts/TO for the offs so far:

wow dray

wow evan turner

I think Evan Turner may have had some turnovers on attempted passes that were not credited as such because the ball was grabbed right out of his hands or batted away before he could do anything the scorekeeper could recognize as him passing the ball.

kind of skeptical of that list tbh. cp3 has 10 turnovers but only 3 passing turnovers, so...hes been stripped 7 times? stepped out of bounds?

Charges, travels, kicking legs on threes who knows

harden held the ball on the last two possessions of the half to set up terrible iso shots that he got totally owned on and the second one they had a chance for a two for one??

Spurs game is the one to watch here probably

I have the local spurs feed tho so it's a tough call for me (Sean Elliott)

one of the worst doing it

i want to like houston okc but the shitiness of harden and westbrook is getting to me

westbrook's only missed 5 3Pers

so many fouls to stop the fastbreak this postseason something must be done

I remember watching a nugs spurs game in like february and Sean was talking about how "his spies" say that Jokic is good

lol a producer summarized the scouting report

Local broadcast teams have really declined, maybe because of the death of radio

Maybe I should do a medium article about this

i still really hate the oladipo acquisition for OKC

a game where every single possession ends in free throws is not the most entertaining thing in the world

playoff ball is often not pretty

i really don't dislike kanter but like... they're paying him $70 million and he can't get off the bench in a must win playoff game

re kanter. this was funny
