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

yeah its replacing a cup of water with lake michigan

Everyone on Inside the NBA sounds like they just woke up

omg lopez is a turnover machine

damn the Bucks make you work for a bucket

RIP Heat, weird season for them

yeah, them getting to the finals last year was also weird, theyre not that good but theyre also not this bad

they were pretty obviously a bubble fluke, their offense is basically each guy rolling dice to see if he's hot that night

sabrina ionescu is unbelievably bad in these chris paul commercials, somehow state farm has uncovered a new layer of depravity

shes so bad that i enjoy watching them at least

as first i was like is this a bit but then i was all no its just bad

i don't think i've seen this? have they been playing it for the whole playoffs so far? have i gained immunity to nba state farm ads?

its def pretty new and theyre running at least two other ads as well including one featuring... the return of uncle cliff!

anyway im sure youll notice it now lol sorry

ok i did see the return of uncle cliff one and was casting around the living room for a sharp object

someone (not me or anyone i care about) needs to do a deep dive on insurance ad world building and why it exists (cf flo and the progressive universe of characters)

this is like year 8 of these ads is it not?

the best guy is the general imo he seems cool the rest of them flo the lizard uncle cliff can fuck off

the general is just like "hey i have cheap insurance" and then he leaves, hard to complain about that

Have fun Jordan, hope the Bucks win by 30

he seems like he knows how to party, the rest of them are total neurotics

karma

The Bucks have outscored the Heat by 63 points since Miami lobbied the referees to call that 10-second free throw violation on Giannis.

lol vogel using his challenge on the first play of the game... unsuccessfully

what did he challenge? that's generally a bad time to use your challenge since the score is 0-0

brow fouled crowder on a 3PA

figured he could wipe out 3 points but it wasnt enought to overturn

wow unreal levels of flopping so far

cp3 looking better

interesting that he went from his entire shoulder being kenesio taped to no tape at all

outside of LeBron and AD, Lakers are a really weird collection of players

drummond does not like to hang on to the ball

some ragged play tonight

you can see the promise of aaron gordon in those last few minutes, super engaged, you love to see it

the general just means more shaq on my tv no thanks "general"

Suns should think about trying to put the ball through the hoop ring

think theres some stolen valor issues with the general.

the best insurance? prayer, exclusively from our lord jesus christ.

xp

Jae Crowder is 5-of-24 shooting and 1-of-18 from 3 in this series. High variance shooter and that’s burning Phoenix the bad way right now.

i do not think the general served, no, he's a disgusting little man full of lies xp

He didn't specifically serve but he served in general

portland's defensive scheme, best described as "well they can't hit 'em all!", may be poorly conceived

they were pretty obviously a bubble fluke, their offense is basically each guy rolling dice to see if he's hot that night

not that it matters bcuz the games already happened but the heat were the best team in the east last year. the games that happened on a neutral court proved that... they kicked the bucks ass and were a better team than the celtics. there isn't a basketball argument to be made that those teams were better. the heat chose not to improve their team this year in order to preserve cap space for this summer (probably a bad idea) while the sixers, nets, and bucks all went out and got significantly better. it's been clear since like dec-jan that the heat didn't have the firepower to compete w/ those three teams -- were they better than a fatally flawed bucks team and a 4 man celtics team? yes. they had the best player in both of those series and they won both, that's usually how the playoffs go

cam payne's jumper is wild looking, lavar ball taking notes for future students. just made three 3s in like 2 mins tho

the way announcers talk about campazzo is funny like he’s not 30 years old

sorta forgot about zach collins and his hair

is he ever gonna play again

probably? but he's been injured all over his body seems like now and so young it's hard to believe he'll be effective

that stretch where melo was guarding jokic was fascinating

the blazers have a big problem in this series with nurkic fouling out

well I take back anything negative I’ve ever said about austin rivers

kanter is essentially unplayable in the playoffs much less on jokic and nurk has to cover so much because the wings are so awful defensively that it's inevitable nurk ends up in foul trouble
