its ok if bron loses a game its not the end of the world....... shd prob get used to it

amazing last play btw, they lulled everyone to sleep and nailed the off-ball action perfectly

jordan trolling, obv you take the win. win a game everyone will remember and lose in 5 vs get swept, not really close lol

hes not trolling hes routing for the cavs because he loves lebron

i got my friend to bet me 20 bucks straight up on the cavs vs the warriors btw yay money

i don't root for the cavs. i'm just saying that celtics fans witnessed trauma of the likes we've rarely witnessed in sports history and i'm not sure we want to reopen that wound, a 20 point comeback be damned.

its a close call but i think jordan wld go nazi

huh what trauma are you talking about

lolol

do you mean game 2? i'm sure it wasn't fun if you were in the building but the rest of us moved on pretty quick once they announced isaiah was out for the durations

i was rooting for the celtics actually. lebron leaving blood on the floor of the garden is one of the most compelling things in sports.

sure sure

anyway it was fun to go to that alternate reality where marcus smart has a j

hes good there

my lord he is frightening when you go through that wormhole

its funny when he shoots with good form it usually goes in, feel like u cn tell when he releases if it has any shot

hope this generates some drama baby

Heh he seems pretty chill anyway, that felt deliberately pitched like here's something to talk about until game 4 guys

i was rooting for the celtics actually. lebron leaving blood on the floor of the garden is one of the most compelling things in sports.

Not particularly traumatized by this one even if it had turned out to be a sweep, it's so clear this Cs team is short a first or second option and just a little too overloaded with small guards/wings, and absurdly clear that lebron is (last night aside) still a fully rested terminator with REACH NBA FINALS MODE engaged

Game 6 in 2012 I think was way more traumatic when he just emotionlessly ripped control of the series back and basically ended the kg-pierce era save the formality of game 7

yeah celtics getting this far is a major victory + 1st pick B-)

prob wlve been a more competitive series w a healthy IT tho

tho winning one w the way brons been destroying them seems like a victory even with a hypothetical full strength IT

anyway series doesnt start til the home team wins B-)

wiz cldnt take game 7 even with a hobbled IT, shameful

makes his performance in that game v. impressive knowing what we know now

yup

lmao an entire feature abt how bron sucks at ft shooting http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/presents19409872/fifteen-feet-trouble

great story

ya

it funny how he wont follow the most universal piece of ft advise, just cant stop tinkering

good trojan horse draymond profile here that explains why i find dray so lovable http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/presents19431278/the-warriors-spurs-fighting-soul-game

both good pieces

any arnovitz piece is a must-read

who used to shoot free throws from like, 4 feet behind the line? tracy mcgrady back when was with the raptors?

there's also been a few people who shoot them like jumpers right

didnt sheed do it? also i think whiteside does it too

nick van exel

now there's a guy i haven't thought about in many many years

feel like kids really loved him, remember a lot of van exel Jerseys in the 90s

a guy on the 80s lakers used to jump on his FTs, i'm blanking who

jamaal wilkes?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrW0-Xzz9P4

i believe whitesite stands like 2 feet behind the line and takes a step forward as he shoots

underhanded just seems harder idgi

its a lil harder in that it doesnt use the same mechanics as normal shooting so its a separate skill to practice but for the guys who cant shoot from 15ft in the first place its a way to get a more favorable angle on their shot

I can get on runs where I make 20-30 in a row underhand. Feel like there's less moving parts.
