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

knicks will pay him anyway what else are they gonna do

jayson tatum guys

tatums got 40 through 3 quarters here celtics up by 12

blake just made a very dirty play

what did he do

this clippers mavs game reminds me of the eastern semis the year after the heatles lost to the mavs. they had the pacers in the second round and were down 2-1 and it was becoming do or die on the big 3, bosh was hurt and lebron and wade had this incredible game where they ripped off like 40 points in a row to singlehandedly win the game

celtics young players trying to guard kd and harden... lol

which is to say paul george and kawhi have made what feels like 22 shots in a row

what did he do

What do we think about this call on Blake Griffin? pic.twitter.com/fqz2fI20Vp

cant quite see it from that angle but hes got his arm pinned the whole time

my god luka is so good

i’ve never seen anyone play at the speed he plays at. he almost strolls down the lane

man blake is gonna be this year's dwight on the lakers isn't he

randle is just a guy who does not get buckets imo, not made for that life

luka doncic otoh

Luka really is a joy to watch

he's feeling it

tatum fourth 50 point game in the last couple months and second in 4 games of the offs+ins

porzingis is a statue out there

celtics won too

my god luka is so good

clippers just killing porzingis

he for real cannot move his feet, batum took him off the dribble and you could immediately see carlisle call for cauley stein

smh they need to give him the play in game too

as usual for the celtics, good things happen when jayson tatum scores 50

having a guy score 50 is good, recommended

damn i already forgot about those jamal murray games but tbf the bubble was a fever dream

he was out of his mind that series

i'm not sure why they are so baffled by this cauley-stein shove, it's a pretty standard cheap shot

zubac is really playing well

zubac has been great. WCS is too skinny for him

the clippers haven’t been able to pull away tho, rando mavs continuing to make enough shots

yeah feels like they should be up more

Dallas has had a really bad stretch

steve ballmer should ask himself, 'am I getting my money's worth?'

clippers are not playing like this is a must win game

that's the clippers way

the celtics were running everywhere scrapping and screaming thats what you have to do

Clippers always talking and taunting like they’ve done anything

a serious bad vibes team

lol morris getting a tech for making finger guns at the mavs bench

It takes kawhi and pg shooting 90% to beat this mavs team apparently

i think they should consider trying harder

Why is Luka bad at FTs

seems like he kind catapults it up there too hard

Looks like Mavs outside of Luka might've run out of juice; ever since that first quarter explosion they've been dominated this game. People were clowning Ty Lue for his post-game comments but he was 100% right; Mavs roleplayers were never gonna stay 50% from 3 nuclear for a whole series. If Zingus is gonna continue to be a complete no-show no reason why Clips won't come back; Kawhi and Leonard playing as well as they ever have on offense right now.

Kawhi and PG* lol

i’ve never seen anyone play at the speed he plays at. he almost strolls down the lane

mavs dont have a lot of defensive talent either

luka hurt his shoulder

zinger felt like the primary reason why the mavs lost that game. the clippers went small and stretched the mavs D too thin meanwhile they were sticking anyone than half a foot shorter than zinger on him and he couldn’t do anything. his shot was way off

Porzingis is trending towards being an average NBA player, which is tough scenes for the Mavericks in general
