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

he will never change

Cavs don't really seem to be running plays anymore

why bother

refs really asserting themselves here lol

yea its been pretty awful on both ends

there's no minute that's more important than any other minute

ooooo we got a game

bron got a lot of rest tho

Cavs had such good ball movement going they've started to just stand around and chuck it up

god what is with all these "we're sorry about our predatory consumer practices" advertisements

its really something three different companies airing them during the playoffs lol

ok JVG shut up

marcus smart is drugs to tv guys

seriously lol

welp celtics had some shots but cldnt do enough baskets

wow bad call

lebron is amazing man

yea idk how this ends but you could make a case for this being his most impressive playoffs ever, especially given that its his 15th year

may i be the first to say

'lebron james'

lebron james

Guys it’s maybe not his fault but semi ojeley was really bad in that game, lebron just tore him to shreds on both ends and it tipped what could have been a little cs run right back into the cavs hands

I mean I dunno cs basically have six guys to work with plus baynes so they have to get a few wing minutes somewhere but ooof

Anyway I feel fine about this since cs young dudes were playing hard into the last minutes anyway so I doubt they are shook by this or anything. I might have predicted a six game series but this is a lock to go seven

I don’t know what was up with nance the first two games but just having someone active while lebron has elimination mode engaged seemed to rev everyone up

lebron james

he's really had a crazy run this playoffs. i dont see how the celtics beat him 2 out of 3.

seems good idk

they already beat him 2 out of 2

he was 'feeling it out'

home court might matter a lot

for the sake of my wallet I hope it does

lol

the celtics have won every home game in the playoffs and lost every road game but one

the math in this series was pretty much always that lebron needed to win just 1 game in boston... games 1 & 2 were extremely concerning for the cavs but the math is still the math

speaking of math

Gordon and Paul need Harden to take pressure off them. Houston staggered Harden’s and Paul’s minutes all season to give both time to run the offense, but that hasn’t worked as well in the playoffs. The Rockets have a net rating of minus-11.0 in the 169 minutes that Harden has sat in the postseason, and a jaw-dropping net rating of minus-30.4 in the 43 minutes he’s sat against the Warriors.

some interesting discussion on the new simmons/lowe podcast about the rockets prob having a wink/wink extension agreement w/ cp going back to last summer but how perilous that looks now given that his max would be paying him like $35 million when he's 37

He would be worth it. CP is incredible.

he would be worth it on a 2 year deal. they will probably settle for a 3 year.

he needs to play a lot more incredible for the rest of the series

I love cp3 but I don't know how he's going to look in 3 years

He would be worth it. CP is incredible.

pretty much no basketball player would be worth $35 million when they're 37, least of all chris paul

I mean going back there are handful of players you could easily argue were worth the equivalent max at 37.

Stockton and Nash would be among those players, I can see Paul's game ageing as gracefully as theirs did.

In any case can't imagine how Chris Paul is the least of all in this discussion.

I think cp3 will age well...the fact that he's already played at an elite level at this age is a good sign. but 37 is 5 years away...I would not want to invest in a max contract that far out. and I think morey is smart enough not to too

the plot thickens

Andre Iguodala will not play in Game 4 tonight due to knee injury

cp's had injury trouble that stockton and nash (at least until later in his career) never really went through. stockton's among the most iron of iron men in nba history, it's nuts. but that stuff gets worse as you age and i'm having a tough time seeing cp playing 60+ games four or five years from now

I'm not a big one for basketball but I don't understand Golden State. It all seems joyless, ruthless, efficient. German.
