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

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.

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

tyreke evans is so bad this year wtf happaned

and as the final winner of the ILH bowl, the Portland Trail Blazers have officially been declared world champions

tyreke evans is so bad this year wtf happaned

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Tuesday, 19 March 2019

idk man i think his knee is a bother but he also has total tunnel vision, either way he is washed

i feel like sabonis is the pacers only productive bench player in the last 10 years

amazing nets-kings game happening rn

d’angelo russell with an outside shot at 50 points

dang the kings just blew a 28 point lead

Whoa that’s crazy

my god that trade with the lakers was such a heist

other than getting lebron, feel like you can make the case that the lakers have been one of the worst franchises in the league for like the last 6 years

fox was roasting him at the other end but russell was getting to the rim with like 3 guys on him

other than getting lebron, feel like you can make the case that the lakers have been one of the worst franchises in the league for like the last 6 years

kevin arnovitz agrees http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26213791/to-move-forward-lakers-need-long-look-mirror

kuzma was a good pick. that's basically all you can say for them right now.

Knciks and lakers been the two worst teams of the last 6 years I think

p funny

And yet our moody overlords want to play there anyway

ppl like sunshine & celebs, me i think they're crazy

pretty poor goings considering even the suns with all their wasted picks have still got booker and ayton

magic and suns both have a brighter future (as of now)

imo knox and robinson may individually end up more valuable than any of ball kuzma ingram
