season is winding down and we may not get it again til february...

winding down? when we still await the exciting, climactic NBA Finals where the Denver Nuggets hoopsters prevail in seven games over whoever comes out of the east?

celtics v nuggets would be the ilh bowl we deserve this

538 has the Celts at 59% to win the Finals...pretty wild, idk what’s driving that probability

prob cause they have marcus smart

did some digging on nba.com’s lineup data and in 87 minutes of torrey craig and paul millsap playing together, they’re -17.6 pts/100 possessions. if malone can’t figure this out it’ll be a shame

big night for ball

setting aside some time, yes

538 has the Celts at 59% to win the Finals...pretty wild, idk what’s driving that probability

nvm he just forced a few bad shots straight

lol that was the actual fratboy celtics mascot they showed

starting to worry about kemba

this is going to be a good series

my blood pressure is not going to survive 5-7 games of opposing marcus smart

c's need something better in the crunch than kemba & tatum alternating hero ball shit

yeah celtics have played awful on offense

their late game offense has sucked and they need to figure out how to stop fouling

i’m grinding my teeth bcuz i know marcus smart is hitting at least one more three before this game ends

i’m typing it here to preemptively release the negative energy from my body and to accept that which i cannot control

i would like to see the ball swing to jaylen a bit more. he tends to play faster on offense which would be very helpful right now

millsap and torrey craig in the starting lineup! malpractice

spo purposefully leaving herro in the game on defense... i...........

tatum did about as well on that as you could ask for

yeah jimmy's just so strong

ok. do better next time.

Omg

oh wow that prayer was so close

he must've traveled getting up though, right?

mark jackson just talked about "putting some respect on the name" of wilt chamberlain omg somebody please hire him as a coach and make him go away

my heart is beating very fast!

it feels like the clippers have rimmed out on an unsustainable number of shots

Oy at that bam block

how did he not break his hand

lolclips gonna be tight in this 4th

man if they don't win they truly are a cursed franchise

just like that a missed dunk and a turnover

Nugs adding to the lead with joker on the bench

Haha

lou will missing the bunny --> murray downing a long desperation three

i vote cursed

the clippers have no way of just getting normal offense

this is amazing

wow rip

perhaps the death knell of the idea you can just assemble a team out of thin air and walk to an NBA title. KD era warriors were 1 in a million

Bron Heat?

ooooof that "most seasons without conference finals" graphic

ok fine them too but the east was kind of a different animal

lmao

i don't think it will change any behaviors but it is certainly a cautionary tale. they should stay the course, i think there's a reasonable case that the restart and the bubble were harder on them than any other team.

otoh, paul george might not be an elite player anymore.

Clippers fucking suck and always will. Been telling y’all for years

also more the point of what i mean is that the clippers never even treated the season as if it mattered. bron heat were figuring it out every day in the trenches... KD warriors never really had a single problem to work through as a team aside from personality clashes. that’s why they’re 1 of 1

the heat weren’t exactly smooth sailing out the gate

anyway bubble ball baby and ciderpress otm
