nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

he doesn’t look particularly.... engaged

nooooo he does not

he had some tiny guy on him in the post a few plays ago and just passed it

it's established that i'm not a gambling man but if the lakers lose this i'm going to be so tempted to put a nominal amount of cash on the grizzles

bron protesting the play in game?

you know its bad when wiggins is more engaged than bron

i wonder if anyone explained the play-in to the lakers. they seem to think this is the 73rd regular season game.

wiggins has been the best player on the floor by like a mile

leading the game with.....(triple checks notes).....9 points!

lebron is trying to score but it’s not working

he looks awful out there

right now he looks like his first few months in cleveland when he couldn’t make a lay up and then took his mysterious vacation to miami

meanwhile anthony davis is playing like he’s mike muscala

this is fun to watch but GSW only being down 5 right now is a miracle

does dray know he already has a tech

really dumb double technical

this is starting to be funny

jesus someone call a TO

ad looks like hes moving around out there at about 70% effort level

dray is owning him so hard

on the one hand if wiggins, bazemore, jordan poole are gonna shoot the lights out i’m not quite sure what the lakers are supposed to do. on the other hand the lakers look like total shit haha

he had a couple of good games toward the end of the season too! i get why lebron looks like a statue but less sure of AD's excuse

rip lebron he had a good career

both teams are getting so many deflections and blocks

my god steph is insane

OMG

took on three players godaaammmm

ridiculous

Steph is the best player on the floor right now and its not even close

i like this steph curry guy

the lakers missed the playoffs completely two seasons ago

(remembers, smiles)

steph moved like a UFO on that play

schroeder just asked if that could be a shooting foul and the refs were like sure

why are they playing at this insane pace

these play in games, unsurprisingly, have not been of the highest quality

its intense tho. feels like a game 7 in a way.

draymond has AD in a straitjacket tonight

bazemore, poole, wiggins, juan toscano picked a great night to make every shot

the west games have been way better than the east games. everyone should remember that for all the 1 game excitement there's only so much a game between the 9 and 10 can do to be aesthetically pleasing

i always say just make every shot why not

funny that the nba's brilliant scheme is to introduce america to barely above average basketball on tuesday and wednesday night

i thought up a better idea today, first round round robin tourney

that is definitely a better idea

i always say just make every shot why not


the analytics definitely favor this strategy

one good idea for both teams is to stop whipping the ball around at 150 MPH

the warriors could have handled the 3rd quarter better

JVG pointing out that the lakers offense has woken up since drummond got hurt... rough night for matt armstrong

lol

i dont get why ad has played the 4 his whole career when hes the perfect modern nba center

i love bontemps, he just tells it like it is

Predictably, the Lakers look much better without Andre Drummond on the court — and with Anthony Davis at center.
