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

if you dont love me at... you dont deserve me at ... etc etc.

prediction with the success of the celtics the basketball nerd media lowe et al are going to get super stoked on toughness, and will not acknowledge the irony

Stevens: We have a lot of tough guys on our team but I think they would all tell you Aron Baynes is one of the toughest. #celtics

rockets too

its funny the celtics and the spurs seem to be the two orgs that have the most comprehensive personnel systems, the spurs are avowed knucklehead avoiders but the celtics kinda love them

NBA playoffs: Klay Thompson expected to play in Game 5 vs. Rockets. Andre Iguodala is considered a "game-time decision."

feel like missing iggy + a less than 100% klay is the perfect equalizer to this series, dubs still have the advantage but rox have a shot

think you gotta favor the rockets by a hair, homecourt plus the injuries.

the x factor will be gerald green again, obviously.

he made some incredible defensive plays.

i heard about that "ojeleye threw us for a loop" thing and i thought it was nba twitter fucking with me. it was not!

like how does your brain fart in such a thorough fashion that you arrive at "uhhhh quick blame that one rookie with the muscles"

i know right like even if that was yr thought at the time it shd be followed quickly by "do not admit this to the media"

think you gotta favor the rockets by a hair, homecourt plus the injuries.

game five will be PIVOTAL

hella pivotal very true. from what ive heard the bay are billionaire club is very good at pivoting.

interesting take had not considered silicon valleys expert pivoting skills, cld prove decisive in the pivotal game five

https://media.giphy.com/media/SsCr1GIFKklr2/giphy.gif

perhaps the greatest pivoter of alltime

and he resides on the rockets of houstons bench during games, the plot thickens yet again.

lot of ancillary pivoting inputs to account for

otm, this game is a coin flip

some p good draymond stuff in here, some of it familiar
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2777471-kerr-and-draymonds-relationship-nearly-destroyed-warriors-now-it-fuels-them

rushing to make it home tonight so i can fully witness the pivot

no iggy, must pivot again.

will the pivot be 360 degrees, 180 degrees, zero degrees, or some other pivot with a disappointingly equivocal number of degrees?

i don't like the dubs offense when steph is this absent

their carelessness with the ball is out of control

how is this not 24-6 lol

xp yeah it's not great

Yeah where is Steph? Gotta shoot to get your rhythm.

Eric Gordon has been hard to watch this series

This is so ugly wtf are the warriors doing

These turnovers I guess they’ll never learn

this game has kinda been trash

This series has kinda been trash

both teams trying really hard to lose

such an advanced flop attempt from cp there...you gotta hand it to him

Warriors trying hard to lose, but the Rockets trying Harden

lol jeering dray for trying to put his contact back in

not a great end to the half from houston

you know curry shoots 25-30% on that shot. easy

dang seeing hakeem lookin all old is giving me some thoughts about how mortality is unfortunate

That jet li pic that was floating around this week made me feel that way.

Just like the dubs last game the rockets blew a major opportunity to blow the doors off in the first half

the math is still slanted against the warriors if they turn the hall over at the rate they did and don’t keep up with houston’s # of 3 pt attemptd

but letting them hang around opens up the possibility the warriors get up like 8-10 and i think things might get verrrrry tight in that arena if so

that was a vintage chris paul drive, backing up to almost half court and the blowby

Yah they need to hoist the hell out of the ball. Rox 14 more 3pa in the first h

cp pulling the dubs bigs way out beyond the 3 pt line is a good idea

this would be a crushing loss for the rockets. they’ve bricked like 10 wide open threes.

wow sick sequence leading to that klay 3
