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

Kerr has always done weird stuff w lineups. Big part of why they lost in 2016. Fans like him but have held a grudge ever since. He just does things that are too cute. Like starting swaggy in q3 last game. Or sticking w javale tonight even tho it was clear from the tip-off this isn’t a series for him to play in.

yeah otm re kerrs rotations, tendencies to be too clever

rockets not joking around here

yeah they look sharp

lol

Draymond Green on his on-court run-ins with Rajon Rondo: "At some point, somebody's got to tell the truth. ... Draymond ain't trying to bait nobody. I'm chilling."

capella has played himself into a max player, no?

oh no doubt

about 3/4 of max seems more likely, but he's been damn good this year

wonder if cp3 will take less than the max so they can load up

I think def

the rockets are sporting a lead of 30 points

i love james harden and i dont care what anyone says

how can he move so slow while moving faster than all the fast basketball men

he doesn't rely on drawing fouls even half as much as he did a couple of years ago, and his game has improved quite a bit as a consequence

yeah going for all those cheap calls really worked against him come playoff time

Can't imagine how anybody could love this

ha that owns

james is a visionary

rough weekend for our beloved rookie of the years

hmm maybe the true rookie of the year is one jayson tatum something to think about

no.

im checking my records and it says yes

it was cool when he was shooting like 65% from 3 for a couple months

he shot 43% for the season thats considered very good

if the jazz are gonna take one like this we at least deserve cutaways to a sad-eyed but still smiling mitt

it's no 65% tho...

always love when a game is over halfway through the 1st q.

did u hear about mitt saying his favorite meat is hot dog today

I faved that tweet my friend

lol gross

his second favorite is hamburger

steak he says is good but not as good as hamburger or especially the hot dog meat

it sounds like he pandering to the common man but i believe him 100% he just looks like a hot dog man

Def a fella who enjoys to eat while walking around in rolled up sleeves

with a jersey over his shirt

[addressing his personal assistant] isnt this terrific

haha they sure can dunk the roundball, huh Sport? fantastic athletes.

ha the playoffs are good

That slo-mo is beautiful. The way the spotlights converge on them just as their bodies meet. I wish they had to play against each other every game.

i think the problem w/ the fultz/tatum trade is that not just that tatum is probably better than fultz -- though that is bad -- but that in philly's system they'd be playing the same exact role. fultz is nominally a PG but with simmons & embiid entrenched his time spent dominating the ball will be very minimal. he is very long for a PG and was a great shooter in college so he can play off the ball and fit w/ their length on defense but uh... that all describes tatum too! it just seems like not only did they misevaluate the players but also didn't quite understand how either would function on their team, which i think is worse.

it is soooooo much easier to say this with the benefit of hindsight. the draft is a crapshoot

otm

the only people questioning the fultz pick at the time were people who thought lonzo was better

well except for

and thats who the sixers are competing against not tweeters or message board posters or whoever

also theres just looking at results, even if there is a lot of uncertainty in the draft some orgs tend to draft better, aaand in this case prob phillys biggest fuck up was giving up a very valuable pick to move up two spots for a player that if were talking about predraft consensus most ppl didnt think was anything special for a #1 pick

it cld end up being a franchise defining fuck up, now philly needs to fill holes via free agency where they cld easily have been stacked w homegrown talent

Celtics were 9.5-point underdogs leading up to Game 3. Looks like only two other times this season that the Celtics were bigger underdogs:

Jan. 27 at Golden State (L, 109-105)

March 28 at Utah (W, 97-94)
