it’s really frustrating to watch the pelicans not pass to AD

what a crushing loss that was for the raptors. i felt weirdly good about the bron-JR-korver-love-TT lineup they rolled out there even after all this time. feels like thursday is a must win for toronto.

all is right in the world

raps loss was depressing

would another cavs dubs finals suck all the air out of the increased viewership this year

Only because GS would flush the cavs down the toilet in great haste

lmao why is toronto so shitty that games was just awful

Went to bed last night in the 3rd quarter with Cavs down 12 or whatever it was. Hard to believe the Raptors played even worse than that in the 4th quarter - they missed 15 of their last 16 shots. Incredible.

The 2018 NBA playoffs, where the Raptors got to DIE

lol

6pm start tomorrow for game 2.

The Cavs are gonna make the nba finals again aren’t they

ugh

Those four missed shots at the end of regulation my god

Raps forgot to lose game 1 in the first round so I guess they’re just catching up

felt like they kept trying to blow the game open but korver would hit a 3 to keep it within 10 or so. then you just knew the raps were gonna rap. cant believe how many layups Jonas missed in the 4th q.

Drake and Perk beef just adds to the lameness of the whole thing.

insanely lame scene altogether

lol at drake and his friend coordinating their outfits

munch the buns

that whole thing was hilarious. draymonds head ended up slamming the ground on the second takedown. we got peak draymond last night tbf. he basically rode the line of 'about to get T'd up' for 4 quarters. that stare-down with mirotic after the and one was v funny.

so hard being a chris paul believer

What a win by the jazz. Winning on the road sans Rubio plus a bad shooting night from their best offensive player is very impressive.

Felt like the rockets were just gauging how easy they could take it to win this series.

That putback by Donovan O__o

rockets are punks, period

arms for days

cant stop watching this, looks fake

And then this pass is just special. How does he scoop it back to Ingles like this so fast while running forwards? It's like magic! pic.twitter.com/otZSZNecFM

still furious about away team wearing whites

onya jingling joe ingles, who learned his trade off me (he grew up a few suburbs away from when I played schoolboy b-ball)

I'm with you Clay

i also am opposed to it, and they shdnt use alternates in the offs either imho at the very least not nearly as much as they have been

away whites is truly reprehensible

It’s genuinely super confusing to me for like ten minutes after I tune in, can’t shake decades of hoops with home whites

Add in so many alternates and so many new unis / color scheme changes this year and I’m a mess

Btw my favorite Mitchell flex was the play after the putback, he got in the lane and kicked out to jingles who was so open for 3 that Mitchell turned completely around and was already walking back on defense before the shot went up

I remember one of the reasons the NHL gave for stitching to away whites is that the teams made so many 3rd jerseys that it became a pain for the away team to bring alternate colors for when the home team did some bullshit which struck me as an odd thing to admit

It's the worst when you're at a bar/restaurant/etc and TV is 20 feet away and there's no sound and you don't see any player closeups to view faces w/jerseys and you're distracted already by making small talk/trying to decide what to order. Then sometimes there's 2 games being shown at once and you're trying to keep track of who is who among 4 diff teams.
btw any place where you have to ask them to turn on a friggin PLAYOFF game on one of their dozen TVs should be shut down by the Feds.

I was at burger place the other day where the were playing golf and lacrosse on multiple TVs while not showing the playoff game. Savages.

hot damn these games are early today

excited for some 2 seed vs 3 seed action

this is basically exactly the same as the okc-spurs series from a couple years ago

Kevin Love is shooting 31.9% in the playoffs. That would be tied for the worst playoff FG% by a player averaged 10+ FGAs per game since the 1950s (min. 8 games) pic.twitter.com/5SzqoX2dGs
