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

It still blows my mind that Curry is 6'3". He looks so tiny

i just assume with all the lil guys theyre adding an inch or two

Even if Curry were 6'1", he'd be several inches above the US average for men.

what jordan said is there for anyone who wants to read it, without filtering it through Matt's brain:

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

“When i said he was a terrible nba player actually I meant” like why are we doing this

good question

i’d once again be remiss to not point out there’s only one person on this board who “freaks out” over greyson allen and it certainly isn’t me

anyway, i think the celtics had a big 3 with PP, ray, and KG... all are hall of famers. it feels on the lower end to me tho... the heatles of course. steph-klay-dray it almost feels like a disservice to what makes them good to call them a big 3 but i understand, steph-klay-KD obv. lebron-kyrie-love counts for me even tho love has fallen off since then. kyrie-harden-KD obv tho we’ll see how it plays out... bucks are pretty close in all honesty.

I was right about Grayson Allen being a solid backup. You guys were very annoyed by the idea and basically called me an idiot for saying it and then it turned out I was right. Given the nature of the conversation it would be cool if people could admit they were wrong but I accept that no one really does that online. That’s bad though, that things work that way. I would say in general it’s a juvenile way to handle things.

I guess you've proved yourself the bigger man than all the rest of us, Matt, having the courage to declare yourself completely right all along and the wisdom to see how anyone who disagrees is being childish. Hats off to you.

You don’t disagree, is the thing.

a "big 3" consists of 3 players over 6' 9" in height

I believe I said some pro-Grayson stuff

btw I was just ribbing, even self-ribbing a little, the time I initially said “big 3” was after the bubble where murray looked like he was making a leap and I was definitely getting ahead of myself about porter at the time. my comment today was just having a little fun with that because porter really does look like an imminent all star now. murray had a really nice last few months of the season btw after a slow start

Porter looks like he could be a top 20 player at some point and Murray will probably be a top 6 SG as long as his knees hold up. That’s enough for me.

i had a high school sex ed teacher who referred to the penis and testicles as "The Big Three"

the only big 3 real players care about is bitcoin, etherium, and doge

two levert assists from this happening with a quarter left

Wow. Per NBC Sports Washington broadcast, this could be the first time in NBA history three players record triple-doubles in the same game. How fitting.

Would you rather have TJ McConnell’s haircut or be bald?

lol westbrook just bricked a 15 footer for the win classic russ

levert did not record any assists in the 4th but now there is overtime

levert not only did not get any more assists he committed a terrible foul on westbrook to fall behind then got his shit blocked by westbrook at the buzzer SMH

nets dont seem like theyre in a good place

three lunatic alphas on one squad who coulda seen it coming

that said, if I were a betting man

what would you bet

I have no idea how to feel about the Sixers in the playoffs. They keep winning, but haven't played a good/healthy team in what seems like forever.

if I were a betting man, I'd lose my shirt on practically every bet I placed. my confidence in my ability to foresee the future is very low.

Sixers would have trouble with Milwaukee I think

Oh, absolutely.

philly looking like theyll get the 1 seed which is good

what would you bet

― lag∞n,

that the really good players will be rested and locked in and play really good in the post-season, so the nets will improve on their shaky regular season aka i would prob bet the nets will win "the whole shabang"

wow i dont know, but maybe!

it’s so crazy it just might happen

It would be funny if Milwaukee won the title when no one was talking about them

i support it

i think there’s starting to be a groundswell of “nobody is talking about the bucks!” talk as everyone kinda looks around and realizes they might be the least flawed team out there on paper

jazz bucks would be the no one believed in us even tho we were a top team all year finals

eastern conf finals rematch baby (6 vs 7 teams lol)

let’s go! (multiple starters on both teams not playing)

tbf the celtics are only missing one starter (their second best player)

yeah i meant multiple starters in total across both teams sorry

ah

without kemba on the floor the heat are basically quadruple teaming tatum and giving any player on the celtics 10 feet of open space to shoot

off**

think i might go on a bike ride

lol miami calling a timeout up 15 because smart scored too many points

rob clearly not moving right out there

To add injury to insult, Rob Williams will miss the rest of the game due to his exacerbated turf toe injury, per Celtics.

no point in throwing him out there in a 24 point game

It won't happen, but I'm amused by the thought that the Lakers could theoretically fall into ninth place in the West, whereupon LeBron's much-despised play-in mini-tourney would give them a last-gasp chance to advance, instead of their being wholly eliminated from the get-go.

(I wedged five hyphenated words into one sentence; I claim the ilx record)

they need a Grayson Allen type.
