part two of the nba 2020-21 anything but regular season

ugh brutal loss for the nuggs tonight

Jokic shouldn’t have passed to compazzo

pretty insane block by AD, it was reasonable for jokic to think he'd get a clean look.

that offensive foul on him on the MPJ 3 a few minutes before that was some bullshit

Flopped like crazy on that

hated that call

the bucks have beat the nets two games in a row

yes - but just barely, and without harden playing.

also does not bode well that the bucks crunch time lineup will feature one of byrn forbes/pj tucker/brook lopez

Zion and Zo coming up big in the clutch; nice to see Lonzo bounce back after that horrible stinker last night. Really hoping they hang on to make the play-in; don't want to see this lethargic incarnation of the Spurs keep out one of Zion or Curry from a play-in tourney with Ja and Dame. Would be more 10x more entertaining than the actual first round probably lol.

Nets w/ Harden does not seem like a particularly worse matchup for the Bucks

whatever helps you sleep at night

i personally think adding another mvp is good BUT that backcourt is seriously flammable

Bucks are pretty good at forcing Harden into bad shots and I think the Nets would need to score like 130+

lol

Steve Nash on not calling a timeout during Milwaukee's 16-1 run: "Maybe I should have."

wild thing about harden coming back is that it will improve the nets defence

ayo can someone post Lowe's article on Capela on the C&P thread?

done

thanks!

fyi if you use a proxy or vpn to give yourself an Australian ip addr and then add .au to the end if the espn url like espn.com.au you can read any of their articles 4 free!!

or you could just shoot that article directly into my veins. i love capela.

that might vaccinate you against capela tho

They should amend the CBA so that every player is allowed to have their top 5 like on Myspace where they are allowed to talk unlimited shit to that player without consequence as long as they can demonstrate they have a secret handshake before the game without making a mistake.

(in reference to technicals called in a tatum/bamba trash talking session when those dudes are well-known to be friends)

Suns/Hawks is a good one so far

what is going on here

Pacers assistant Greg Foster went OFF on center Goga Bitadze during a timeout with the team trailing the Kings, 80-59. 👀

super good vibes in indy these days

thats not the former pacers player greg foster btw i looked it up, its the former non pacers player greg foster

oh wait the pacer was named jeff foster, nevermind!

knicks are having a tough time defending jokic

btw jokic had 4 dunks in the first quarter

tbf he is tough to defend

which tied his career high for a game

he is a real dunk machine now they should call him "the dunker"

oh wait the pacer was named jeff foster, nevermind!

greg foster

jeff foster looked so much like a euro but was not

jeff foster played for 13 years as a backup center on the same team which seems inconceivable these days even though it wasn't that long ago!

that is crazy, even for then, jeff foster indy institution salute

yeah if you stick in one place for that long you must be doing something right

wtf the refs just reviewed a non-foul on Westbrook for 5 minutes and still got the call wrong

wow crazy last 3 minutes in Bucks Wizards

This Anthony Edwards sequence is A1 😳 @brhoops pic.twitter.com/R2gh520EI5

still got the call wrong

if it was originally called a foul by the ref on the floor, then there's a tendency to want really clear visual evidence to overturn it. i think their outlook is that we (refs) get lots of shit w/o us (refs) dumping on each other.

yeah if you stick in one place for that long you must be doing something right white

This is what led up to the Greg Foster blow up with Bitadze. He let Harkless get to the rim for a 2nd chance dunk and got scolded for not contesting. Bitadze responds w/ a 3 and when he runs back you can read his lips pretty clearly. “Sit the f$&@ down.” That did it #PacersKings pic.twitter.com/oFEmdUpPUl

Anthony Edwards, when asked what he’s looking forward to working on this offseason:

“I ain’t telling nobody. I wanna come back like Houdini.”

the Lad is the best quote in the NBA rn

Anthony Edwards says he's going to Spain with Ricky Rubio and Juancho Hernangomez this summer.

Says he's gonna learn fluent spanish so he knows what those two are talkin about all the time.

unfortunately telling your coach to “sit the fuck down” is still “frowned upon”

I don’t think the Greg Foster thing is a big deal. Bitadze probably needs that approach to some degree.

When Jeff Foster played for the Pacers they called him “Feisty Foster” for a while and I’ve never gotten it out of my mind entirely
