lol gordon hayward has been feisty inside the bubble

awesome bam game tonight

another incredibly competitive game overall

too many fouls

Yeah, Griz are done. I will lol eternally if someone other than NOP get in and the NBA diapers become soiled.

i wonder if the refs are getting psyched out by no fans

there's def a strong undercurrent of sloppiness to these games but everyone is playing super hard and there has been good scoring

bam doing his giannis impression tonight

marcus smart just fouled out in the 3rd quarter lol

that's dope as hell

i'm not gonna lie when reggie miller said that a minute ago i simply thought i had misheard him

lol

tatum has 5 fouls still the 3rd quarter

i don't see the issue personally

i heard today that there's like 10 more fouls per game, which is completely nuts. i guess one theory is that they hear contact more easily without crowd noise?

is the fake crowd noise just on tv they shd play it in the stadium

they probably should at this rate

the celtics should play “kemba walker”

its a good idea

That really sucks about JJJ

i heard today that there's like 10 more fouls per game, which is completely nuts. i guess one theory is that they hear contact more easily without crowd noise?

i do think some of it has to be chalked up to the odd alchemy of intensity and sloppiness that could only come from dropping the players into the final 2 weeks of the regular season after a 4 month layoff

Tbh I haven’t been super upset about the number of fouls but there’s been a lot of clearly wrong calls (many of which aren’t challenged for reasons I can’t grasp)

there's a few sequences in each game i've watched that are like benny hill preseason level play w/ bodies flying everywhere and 6 missed shots in the span of 20 seconds but at playoff level intensity

forgot how completely weird the rockets are now

pretty wild that melo is now a functional role player on a playoff (?) team

harden missed four or five threes in the last 2 minutes

harden is the anti-clutch

You love to see it

margins of victory in today's games were 3, 4, 2, 11, 6, and 8 points

Bubble ball has been a delight and the playoffs haven’t even started

Seems like Grayson Allen is pretty good now

he has the funniest body language he really looks like a little kid out there

Michael Porter Jr is a CONSPIRACY

the conspiracy would be a good nba nickname

Starting to believe in this Thomas Bryant guy

Sixers have their hands full with the championship contender Wiz.

Michael Porter Jr is probably just a starter now

is he a black hole or just a bad passer?

MPJ will be an all-star next year

Michael Porter is absolutely a black hole. He plays with Jokic, it’s fine

true

Key thing is the defense, which is definitely getting better

I like this Dort guy! Gonna be an elite defender it seems

it’s kinda nuts how the thunder completely changed their team and are still a really good team in the west one wing shooter away from being a finals team

also i have to say... after years of being a massive cp3 hater i’m ready for him to have the last laugh especially at morey and harden’s expense. bring me the cp3 revenge tour i wanna see them beat the clippers

CP3, Gallo and Steven Adams are serious professionals. They just went out and won games.

i still feel like it's snake oil when i look at their roster after the top 4 guys but what hell, it's working and everyone is happy.

hes a lil bastard, but he's OUR lil bastard this year. honestly this year's team is the most impressive thing cp3 has done imo.

otm, for a guy who could legitimately say he has better things to do i'm incredibly impressed at the amount of effort he's put into a middling playoff team in a small market. most people aren't wired like that.
