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

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

dang

i do not enjoy hubie brown

feel like the schedule has been weird in rd 2? like i'm not gonna get home until like halfway through tonight's second game

this is a complete pants crapping by the raptors

OG anunoby looks like his knees are knocking

god damn lebron is so fucking sick

hes good

lol raps

christ, bron

How the fuck does Lebron keep sinking those

what's even happening here

i’ve never seen anything like this. he’s doing like 720s on these fadewaways

lebron james

some of those shots were nuts

this is stupid

43 points AND 14 assists. so far. That accounts for one hell of a lot of the Cavs offensive production.

have this nagging feeling that if bron makes it out of this series he's going to shit on the raptors

otm

tho I didn't feel that way at the start of the series. pacers had me shook a little

there's no way a one-man parade will get past the WCF winner, even if that one guy is lebron

i don’t want to belabor the point but i feel like it must be repeated

lebron james

lebron james

lebron james to spurs confirmed

ive heard hes a good player
