It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

Quality tanking

omg that fn owns

lol alvin gentry watching that duke game while that was going on

Guess the Dubs don’t need KD anymore?

Hezonja the goat

Lakers have lost to the worst team in the nba, therefore they are now the worst team in the nba and lebron is the worst player in the nba

the logic is unassailable

Lest we not forget they also lost to the other worst team the suns in a must win game

Re kd: Dubs need kd in certain matchups but they would still be title favorites without him imo. Just less margin for error. And obv would need someone at least as good as young Harrison Barnes was in his place. Although I have to now admit that the draymond slippage is real as all the possible excuses are out the window and it looks like he’s just lost a little athleticism. Still a genius and I’m sure he’ll turn it up for the offs but the days of him dominating every night are behind him.

CJ injury sounds like no major deal bless the hoop gods

giannis is 5/7 from three today

Time to retire

Can it get much worse for LeBron and the Lakers? 😬

Hezonja STUFFS LeBron in the final possession to seal a Knicks comeback victory.

lebron is calling kd after that and just reciting the draymond speech word for word

sorry, 3/7. still, he looks pretty good taken them.

Giannis will never be a Good shooter unless he ditches that hitch in his shot. Unlikely at this point.

ditch the hitch

holy shit @ giannis

he’s treating the sizers like he’s shaq

sixers

awesome game. gimme this series.

Really fun game. The back to back dunks by Giannis over Simmons then Simmons over Giannis were sweet. Embiid guarding Giannis is a cool matchup

tonight is ILH night: celtics/nuggets, warriors/spurs, blazers/pacers

the big games

more like march radness B-)

Looking forward to seeing our favorite players showing us their sick skills. Hoisting, dunking, breaking ankles, things of that nature.

those are the fundamentals right there

I watched all of bucks sixers last nite

Giannis just looks like the dad playing with the five year olds in the driveway and dunking just because

It Is really full young Shaq vibes with him only it’s like alien limbs instead of a mountain of beef (both extremely useful in basketting)

I still get surprised by some of his dunks. "oh nice move Giannis, that'll surely result in a soft lil layup, maybe an underhand flip. it's a shame you didn't start that move closer to the hoop plus there's a big man in your path, but a layup or short floater is still 2 points, job well done"

lol totally

yeah, he did one of those in embiid's face yesterday that was just ludicrous. that extra extension he gets often seems like it's done with post production cgi.

wait we have a pacers fan here?

iirc compupost likes the pacers, maybe micah too?

micah yeah

i wish jaymc liked hoops, it would help us sort out the Fandoms

so bogut got the start tonight. first play called for a moving screen lmao

I wish Tatum would drive into defender’s chests instead of constantly trying to slither past. He should be shooting 8-10 FTs a game.

curry man. started by going like 0/6 all shots halfway down then out but then hits an impossible scoop lefty layup then heaves a 3/4 court shot to beat the 1st q buzzer and banks it home

for reference

round 1 of the ILH bowl is over and the nuggets are officially better than the celtics d8)

it actually didnt count since youtubetv will not allow me to watch nuggets games, in fact the nuggets arent a real team

round 2 of ilh bowl down, spurs are better than the warriors

golden state and denver now tied for first in the west. I really would just love to dodge the rockets or jazz for as deep in the offs as possible

Spurs are ridiculous right now. I had figured the streak would end tonight. props to Pop for turning this team around.

gotta tip the cap to demar for that shot over klay

reasons why spurs are good now:
(1) i rly feel like cutting pau was addition by subtraction. he wasnt getting a lot of minutes anyway, but it has boosted jakob poeltl's play since he's been added to the starting lineup. i was initially skeptical of a trad two-big lineup, but they have made it work on offense by stretching LA to the 3 pt line where he satarted to hit a couple. and defensively, poeltl and LA are juuuust agile enough against most starting units that they can make it work against opposing frontcourts.
(2) demar was in a baaaaad slump in january. he got some time to rest and it's paid off big time. he's been cutting to the basket a lot more which is getting him to the FT line. when he cuts, he gets passes to open outside shooters. he's hitting some tough midrange shots again, too, and he's become a decent enough defender! no one will mistake him for 2017 kawhi, but he gets in passing lanes and creates fastbreaks off steals.
(4) their core 9 guys are all finally healthy. this is white-forbes-derozan-aldridge-poeltl starting and mills, belinelli, bertans, and gay off the bench. gay has been able to pick apart second units off the bench instead of getting third option scraps as the starting PF.
(5) derrick fuckin white.

(3) pop

clinched 22nd consecutive winning season, seems like it’ll be 22 in a row for the playoffs too.

yeah the 8 teams are set, seeding of 3-7 could change wildly tho
