the most surprising thing in that tweet is rondo having a positive effect on defense

playoff rondo is real, and hes my friend

houston's future draft pick situation turns out to be unsurprisingly complicated and ugly and destitute good luck guys

you can just trade the three of 'em for each other without fussing with it it almost has to happen

xposts re: Pacers trades -

Reminiscent of the Celtics “upgrading” from IT to Kyrie (IT’s immediate physical breakdown notwithstanding). Sometimes I’d rather have the lower ceiling but keep the more likable team/players. Need those good vibez

lmao this is horrific, the trade we need now

lo when the much-loathéd three-headed beast doth switch stations this is the final sign

lol three unwatchable teams.....will remain unwatchable

I’m so excited that I’m going to see the Lakers vs. Clippers for the Western Conference Finals!!! The battle of the best in LA!

I think whoever wins four games first will advance to the NBA Finals!

magic is the best person on twitter

the dark age of nba trades

Westbrook on the wizards would be proof of karma

It was amazing to me to see how teams just stop biting on pump fakes in the playoffs. Somehow they can’t bring themselves to do it in the regular season and I think that’s a big explanation for James Harden’s career.

classic regular season player all around

the refs also dont call the touch fouls as much in the offs

need to get harden on another fast pace / all shooters like the 2017 one where he played pg, that was far and away the most watchable harden rockets iteration

*fast pace / all shooters team

yeah all those looping cross court passes he made were cool

Bob Myers still with the realest commentary for why players with regular season success don't always thrive in the postseason. Failures are less confounding when you hear it. I go back to these words when some of best appear at their worst in the playoffs.pic.twitter.com/GhUPrAfdrm

I do think it’s worth questioning whether the rockets would be better if a 7 footer was in the rotation

Capela was a great player for them, I thought he was sorta key

same

he gave them versatility which as everyone stated is a staple of the elite teams.

yeah he was core to the team

marcus morris is a guy who obviously has pretty serious anger issues

LAC already had pat bev. they have too many goons.

doesn’t morris have an assault charge?

yeah he and his bro beat up his moms x or something in phx

they were acquitted tho

fire malone

craig and millsap on the floor at the same time is fucking malpractice

kawhi being with new balance is so perfect, salute

what happened here

harlan "right between the eyes" alert

Great nugs comeback in this one

Damn those clips uniforms are the worst!

lol respect to mpj for going for the score with 7 left

It’s strange seeing eastern conference games start so late

siakam needs to show up

honestly feel like that second half vindicated my nuggets fandom for the entire year

that was extremely enjoyable

MPJ is a journey, he’s a destination, he’s an experience.

I think we can lose by 40 next game and it would be ok

why is this floor always so slippery
