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

they cldnt defend all year now they cant score

weird def

All lower seeds will win tonight.

scripted

Cavs were somehow 39-0 when leading after 3 quarters this year.

There's a good Athletic article on the Cavs lack of help for LeBron but this is striking:

In three games thus far, the Cavs have scored 270 points. James has scored or assisted on 157 of them. That’s 58 percent of the offense from one man who has played 88 percent of the minutes. No one in these playoffs has played more than James’ 126 minutes. And no one has received less help.

russell wilsonesque

this one getting testy already

Lol at Simmons leveling wade and then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

refs taking over smh

catching up rn

we are good people and we deserve to have this series go 7

sixers have 21 turnovers midway through the 3rd, embiid and simmons have 6 each

just got to the scuffle, embiid took out 3 heat dudes out like a bowling ball lol

im feeling a malice at the american airlines arena

both teams look gassed

yup

lol embiid sneaking in the game sans mask

Philly gettin a lot of 3rd chance points today

this series is so good, sixers are my #2 team as long as simmons and embiid play

miami defense totally breaking down here

heat lost this game cause they refused to wear their miami vice unis karmas a bitch baby

:D

lmao its true

can someone explain something about game 2 of this series to me? the heat were playing very aggressively on defense, playing full-court press, and just challenging the sixers on every play and it was probably why they won that game. but they haven't been able to replicate it in the last two. is that a conditioning issue? a strategy issue? is it just that they were hot on defense that night but couldn't figure it out next two nights?

like they were so in the sixers' faces that saric and simmons were able to execute that across the court pass bc the entire defense was in the back court. ok so obv it can be responded to but at least that game it seemed to throw the sixers off enough that heat could win.

d wade was hitting mad shots is the basic thing

yeah wade sometimes just has a game where he hits all his outside shots which is historically not a strength for him

but its really hard to play a blitzing style of defense for long stretches, and can get disheartening quick if the shots arent falling on the other end.

xp

Olynyk is a lot more mobile than Whiteside, enabling that style of play. With Embiid on the floor Olynyk is food. His return made all the difference.

liking all the shoving in this one, could've been a real scraper had it been a real series

omg the pelicans are doing it again this is rude

they will win the nba playoffs

a philly-nola finals wld be the apocalypse and i love it

it's time to turn the page i agree

anthony davis too good friends

letting him back into the offs was a mistake

Having a couple of young, up-and-coming teams in the Conference Finals or NBA Finals would be kind of refreshing after a decade of King James out of the east and three or four years of Warriors out of the west.

jrue...might not have stepped out?

god jrue wtf IS this where did this COME FROM i feel CRAZY

yeah his heel never came down

if the heel did not commit youve got to acquit

well fellas there's always next year

Blow it up

oh man what's to be sorry for, pelis were gd unreal all series and i'll be rooting for them going forward! hope they can keep it up
