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

Ibaka being hurt is not good

might... probably...

Forgot about pat bev too lol

carlisle rolling w/ a line up (powell + porzingis) that i don't think has played all series

pat bev has been mothballed this series

haha the three point shooting in this series. gotta love it

"luka plays the entire clippers team to a draw singlehandedly and then two random mavs hit 2 well timed three pointers" has been the mavs path to victory in these games

Not a bad formula

I just do not understand the clippers defensive game plan in this series

batum smh

Lol pg giving it up

Also got stripped twice in a row a few possessions back

what an utterly bizarre turn of events. luka gets batum one on one and tries to make some insane pass to klieba, terrance mann gets the ball on a fast break and passes it to batum who blows a contested lay up

clips need dame rn

terrance mann with the classic pants-shitting “I’m not good enough to take this point blank layup in this situation” to set that up too

klieba

lol

welp

terrance mann with the classic pants-shitting “I’m not good enough to take this point blank layup in this situation” to set that up too

road team has won all the games

Kawhi was gun shy this game too. Clips gonna clips.

wonder what theyll do if they lose this series

lol what was this

Rondo mad as hell. 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/Oq6hb7Xl3w

cursed franchise

Apparently the mAvs only made 3 shots the last 8-9 minutes and still won.

road team has won all the games

― lag∞n,

was wondering if i had this right in my head, this has a bad unnatural feel to me when it happens

Put Dirk in Porzingis's jersey for game 6 and hope no one notices IMO.

i feel like the clippers having not even an ounce of a home court advantage is not conducive to them winning a title

Cheerleader (lifts megaphone): Whose house?!

Clippers fans: Management has entered into a contractual agreement allowing our team to occupy this house!!!

Cheerleader (cupping hand to ear): I can't hear you!!

Clippers fans: Fuck off!

throwing this here for posterity as it should not be lost to time

Shaq: "Think they need 4 or 5 more players" pic.twitter.com/L716GbImBF

kenny’s reaction to that was really good

Shaq and that jacket is a journey

i know it's not a great stat but there were some wild +/- numbers in that game, like PG +17 and rondo -19

Sixers, baby. Just do it and be legends.

lol at the new yorker description of Trae: "Young, who, in every other particular, looks like a teen-ager on perpetual spring break, has a weirdly wispy nest of hair, staticked to attention as if run through constantly by a freshly inflated birthday balloon."

his hair situation is pretty unfortunate

it renders him kind of undeniably an odd looking dude which surely adds to the appeal

Lillard on the Sixers does make a lot of sense honestly

lillard anywhere

def a regular season maximizer

With the Knicks loss to the Hawks, this is the third time a Tom Thibodeau team has lost a series in 5 with home court advantage. His teams are now 3-4 in series with home court.

draymond said last night that the knicks played super hard every game in the regular season but every team plays super every game in the playoffs. kinda sums up the thibs experience

yup, play your best players the most minutes and play hard and there you have your ceiling. there's no other gear to go to.

meanwhile everyone else is resting bringing players along testing different rotations and so forth

yup

I like dray, it’s good having people who watch/understand basketball on tnt

ESPN is really all in on Kendrick Perkins

it's rough

listening to him speak is pretty amusing but the things hes says are pretty lame

hes on every celtics halftime show if espn viewers think theyve got it bad

he just spent five minutes explaining this tweet to Mike Greenberg

Luka jump on over the fence and found out the dog that was barking wasn’t nothing but a damn Pomeranian and went got his ball! He served the Clippers a church dinner tonight that included an family order of 42 leg quarters , 12 pieces of cornbread and 8 slices of pound cakes!
