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

oh i meant to chime in on some above evan turner talk but, like, he's bad now yes but he's seriously *so much better* lately than he's been for most of the last couple seasons. by which i mean he's less often actively sabotaging his own team through being an absolute space cadet on the floor

jrue is playing out of his mind

yeah hes a useful player, obv very overpaid, but for me it's just his game is just ugly, horrible to watch aesthetically xp

mirotic trade ended up being a stroke of genius

the pelicans rule, this is wild

playoff rondo

i forgot about rondo shitting on the celtics in the first round last year until he got hurt

unreal pass by rondo a few mins ago

good game

R O N D O

WWWOOO

that mirotic three was gorgeous too. and theyre getting all the loose balls atm

etwaun moore really choked like crazy there and got bailed out twice

sorta weird they were clearing out the entire floor for jrue and just taking brow out of the play even with jrue playing like an assassin

what a win

that was an awesome game. so demoralizing for the blazers.

basically portland is playing like the team that absolutely stumbled into the post-season down the stretch and that's not a team that wins big games

yeah bad time to slump.

btw the pelicans essentially traded saric and noel for jrue. seems like a great trade in retrospect!

morotic for a 2nd rounder too iirc?

they got mirotic and a second for a first. at the time it felt like an overpay but now seems like a fair trade for both sides

mirotic looks bigger than he did on the bulls, is playing defense and so forth, wild

Telling quote from LeBron James on Wednesday looking back at the season and looking smack in the face of the 0-1 deficit the Cavs are in against Indiana:

"I think we spent so much time trying to figure out who we were in the regular season and getting the right lineups and guys in and out and things of that nature, we could never build for the playoffs. It was kind of like, build for the next game. So the postseason finally hit us and it hit us very well. And I think that can be the best teacher for us to know exactly what we should be ready for tonight."

lmao @ Bledsoe pulling the "never heard of him" card on Rozier, the dude who's shredded you the last 2 games

kind of a bad look dude

maybe he thought they were referencing a hair salon owner

nice

Bledsoe’s bad. His defense has been overrated since he left LAC when he only had to play for 20 minutes a night.

i dont understand how the pelicans looked badly coached for gentrys whole time there except now they look really well coached

Maybe...he hates boogie? Not sure honestly. Maybe brow going supernova made everything else easier

Btw I love that playoff rondo is the only rondo that exists anymore, a new spring tradition

feel like replacing boogie with mirotic would go a long way to seeing your vision of a spaced out, up tempo offense out on the floor

seems otm.

i want to pick the cavs to crush the pacers tonight but i just do not understand this team.

With Oladipo already benched with 2 fouls, you might be right.

two flops, the nba has spoken

lol 19-3

lbj is 7/8

26-8 might wanna get oladipo back in

shit tightened up pretty quick

yup

cavs game plan is to get vic to foul out. that contact was 100% initiated by love

Look at how far Kevin Love moves to his right. Oladipo points same thing out to the official. Now he's on the bench with 3 fouls because of this rewarded call-seeking behavior #TwitterNBAShow https://t.co/yikFzk6WNn pic.twitter.com/JAHiQYfsjv
