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

Respect to the spurs, man. Would not die and doing it big for pop. Best organization in the league. Kawhi better stay.

master coaching by brother brad

yea I was kinda hoping that a longer series would favor the Bucks, as it would allow Prunty to finally figure out which lineups were actually gonna work for him. but yea, Stevens seemed to completely solve the Bucks offense that game. they actually got a decent number of breaks and couldn't really make anything of it. nobody really had a good shooting night. Bledsoe has been godawful.

btw ojeleye really took giannis out of his game tonight, didnt know what to do vs an insanely strong guy who can move his feet, type of situation that cldve been helped by having a jump shot

otm it was funny watching giannis repeatedly try to body semi and just bounce off of him. i can't imagine how strong that dude is.

How did I entirely miss that cs Bucks gm 5 was last night not a single ESPN or nba notification and they’ve been swamping me all playoffs lol

Heat were a good test for the sixers they looked ready to collapse under that 4th q run with a little too much ilyasova and belinelli trying to veteran it out and they finally went back to Simmons embiid Redick to lock it up

Btw Chris Vernon on a podcast drew up a v convincing lineage of melo Rudy gay Jeff green Andrew Wiggins as inefficient high scoring small forwards who have plenty of talent but just are hard to integrate into a winning team concept

I think their destiny is to all get overpaid by the kings at some point

I would add that they also have a tendency to get overrated at some point by the dumber corners of the basketball internet

But have enough talent to convince smart hoop internet sometimes that they are good (me w Jeff green for a split second lol)

Jeff Green was assertive for that one half season w the Celtics

yea green has moments occasionally but that's about it

F REFS GAVE FN CELTICS GAME. U have to see blatant shot clock violation on Celtics & no call & then they score 3. It is 100% fix. Corruption rampant in @NBA @Bucks game! So FIXED ITS PATHETIC

agreed

for some reason, kato is a semi-regular call-in on our local mpls sports talk and yeah he is bonkers for wisconsin sports, very angsty about the brewers too, hilarious

Corruption rampant

One rule by which I live my life is: never attribute to malice any action adequately explained by stupidity.

it's more fun to imagine vast conspiracies than vast stupidities

we've already established that there's an occult underside of the nba

why 4 games today and only 1 tomorrow?

just the way that the finished/unfinished series fell

thought it had something to do with the NFL draft too

nfl draft starts thursday tho

thursday is tomorrow iirc

oh. hehe

makes sense then.

celtics-bucks vs the nfl draft for all the marbles

what's the nfl

national fuckers league

now that's what i'm talkin about

will Jacksonville take an OT in the 9th round??? I'm on the edge of my seat here!!!!

lol

the russ slander is out of control

that is a really misleading statistic

totally

refs just letting them go in CLE tonight

tom haberstroh did that riff about players leaving russ on a pod yesterday but he was mostly doing it for lols. i guess someone took it seriously?

lebron commits a lane violation on a high percentage of his free throws

if the raptors lose this series man

... it will confirm that the nu-raptors are the old raptors.

They did it!

wow @ indy & cleve tied up

the 17-18 pacers are like the friskiest team of all time

Sabonis looked shocked to be so open.

these cavs jeez

jesus bron my dude not good there

they are uh not a championship team

James bad

Seems good to me

LEBRON JAMES
