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

well booker just tied MPJ’s playoff record for 3s in a quarter lol

2021 nba baby

yikes

Jusuf Nurkic seemed very uncertain about his future with the Blazers going forward. Asked if he wants to be back he said, "In the right situation, yes." What is the right situation? "We'll see. I don't know yet. Because this is not it."

uhhh ok buddy

whoa all gas huh nurk

really feel like chris paul should not be playing the rest of this game

Yes
Feel bad for Davis here but it was just a bad idea to play at all

kinda want the lakers to lose by 70

sorry

pour it on

70 if it's 139-69 works for me

Lakers finally realized it's just the 2nd quarter?

Booker with SIX threes in the first quarter

schroeder is shooting 4/27 going back to game 4, yikes

he has to be costing himself some money these playoffs

he said, "In the right situation, yes." What is the right situation? "We'll see. I don't know yet. Because this is not it."

nurk's spent so much time injured and in rehab since he joined the blazers, it would be understandable if he just feels depressed at the sight of their practice facility and wants a new start.

he spent a lot of time on the bench too because he fouled out of every game he has ever been in!!!!!

he was also routinely humiliated by the guy he forced a trade to get away from and with whom he also has a sacred blood feud so he might be a lil emotional about the series

he's prob out there googling the cap space for all the teams in the eastern conference

sabonis for nurk

yeah nurk is for sure emotional after a really tough series

lebron already hanging out in the backcourt while the suns run 5 on 4, you love to see it

sabonis for nurk

this would be a sick and twisted thing to do to the blazers defensive rating

haha

lotta credit to monty for a great defensive scheme in this series

kuzma, schroeder, harrell, wes matthews, marc gasol have all basically been zeroes in this series, not a great look for rob pelinka. then again lebron’s teams typically tend to collapse when he isn’t playing like himself, it’s like the sun going out in the center of the solar system

lol I legit thought he meant arvydas for nurk

bahah

same effect tbh

p. damning indictment of harrell that he cant make hay even with kaminsky out there

xp yeah their peripheral moves last year were weird and worked, this year they were weird and didn't work. it will be hard to parse it out from the major injuries but they never demonstrated that they actually wanted harrell on the team and kuzma has been like actively regressing.

Feel like I can stay up and hate watch the lakers lose or get a good night’s sleep
Dadgum playoffs

Lots of people on ILH seem to hate austin rivers but he was out of the league and made the most of this opportunity. Nuggets don’t make the second round without him.

ppl were very effusive of the schroeder move in particular which really flew in the face of my understanding of him as someone who cannot be trusted so now i feel better about my knowledge of the world

Let’s list things we were right about

austin rivers took a long time to justify his place in the league and benefited enormously from his dad throwing him a life preserver when he was washing out. it will be hard for him to ever live down that unearned privilege, but I suppose he's used that fact as motivation to finally become a nba caliber backup guard, which he is now.

thoughts on andre drummond’s play tonight?

I know it ain’t gonna happen but man what if

k i'm getting worried

lakers needed wes matthews to hit that 3 a few mins ago to cut it to 9. about to be back to 16 or more

markieff morris basically just ran over cam johnson with a car lmao

do they have to review flagrants bc that was very flagrant

lakers just handing the suns free throws, not a great idea

jeez lebron just missing the easiest lay up imaginable

bron can jump again but he makes it look hard

whooooole lotta cam payne during this lakers comeback

lebron’s finishing at the rim tonight is making me sad

bron is utterly gassed at 36 minutes played the injury must have wrecked his conditioning

sad that lebron died :[

One thing I was right about was Anthony Davis being injury prone. People got really mad about this somehow

some exceptionally weird lebron behavior here at the end
