hello friends it's the 2018 NBA Playoffs, a place where dreams GO 2 DIE

the fuck is happening w/ him

vaguely reminiscent of the wtf pacers implosion back in 2014 or whatever year that was

kind of seems like he’s being a little fuckin punk tbh

Spurs need to tear it down imo

Also maybe bump Pops up to the front office? He seems a little fried to me

the organization is def at a crossroads here

I wouldn’t say Pop is fried, he still dragged this Kahwi-less Frankenstein of misfits and olds to the playoffs

this made me feel better tbh

hmm idk

hes accomplished a lot obv but he just needs to say SOMETHING. the radio silence is a very bad look.

ballers de bellyasova

josh richardson was arguably the best heat player for big chunks of the season but he looks shook out there.

im saying i think he has an anxiety thing im sticking with this explanation

Keep the dream alive, gotta stay strong

When did Kawhi stop travelling with the team – just for the playoffs? Anxiety about sitting next to his judgy creakyass Spurs teammates doesn't seem far-fetched. More surprised that Pop wouldn't mask his exasperation a little more.

this wade performance is cracking me up

19 points all on shots where he’s like turning around a full 180 degrees before shooting

dwyane is putting together an impressive years long stretch of having a little left in the tank

Heat really have no use for Whiteside; wonder if there's a team that wants to handle that contract.

seems doubtful

i didn't realize he was maxed out ouch

wait ben simmons is australian, is that legal

no, he is currently a fugitive from justice

i think wade just picked up his dribble, then dribbled again before hitting a turnaround jumper

whiteside will actually be useful in this series once embiid gets back but yeah otherwise they’re way better playing with olynyk & johnson or even smaller

Whiteside might be the dumbest player I’ve ever seen. He takes himself out of so many games mentally. Miami got duped.

Good thought I imagined the double-dribble -> travel there.

he’s okay. he has warts that ultimately make him not worth the money they’re paying him, but he also has stretches every year of really good basketball. he’s overpaid but they still get use out of him.

re whiteside

miami's payroll is 4th in the league jeeeeez

waiting for somebody to post video to twitter lol xp compuipost https://twitter.com/search?q=wade%20double%20dribble&src=typd

IIRC Blazers were after both Parsons AND Whiteside during 2016 FA summer bonanza for max / near max $.

there were plenty of other mistakes the blazers were delighted to make that summer

can't stop the Ersanity

Yes Wade!!

wow heat looked like they were ready to go home there for a min

btw feel like the refs might be letting 'em play a little too much

historically comedic performance by wade tonight

it is okay fun to root for wade in the playoffs

only**

Steal was very sassy

lmfao wade, this is out of control

6-34 on 3's, sheesh

hell of chuckin

hard to get a handle on the series... i guess the sixers could feel good about the fact that they won by 30 when they shot incredibly well and lost a very close game when they shot incredibly poorly? embiid coming back throws a wrench in that tho. i think this comes back to philly 2-2 and we'll see what things look like at that point.

heat still have to figure out how to score without wade putting up 27 points tho

embiids return is a huge wildcard, rusty guy who demands tons of touches cld easily disrupt phillys rhythm for an unaffordable game or two when theyve been rolling without him, or he cld also just give philly too much talent for the heat to deal with

Good Defender danny green is kinda helpless against KD

yeah hes just raising up and doinking in little mid rangers like nbd

embiid's return will also screw up the heat because whiteside has to match a lot of his minutes

Also maybe bump Pops up to the front office? He seems a little fried to me
