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

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

rip

what on earth is lebron doing

if he truly loved the game he'd play for duke this coming year

booker trolling. i love it

dozed off on the couch, didn't miss much i guess

lebron leaving play to yell at the refs for a full thirty seconds while the suns played 5 on 4 was great stuff

that was extremely bizarre. and then on the second possession where he walked slowly up the court so he could yell at the ref the suns held the ball so long that he was forced back into defense, ended up on chris paul, called KCP onto him so he could switch onto crowder and then just stood there motionless at the elbow as crowder hit a 3 to end the game

shoutout to the suns once AD went out their starting line up just disemboweled the lakers. the lakers made their run in the third with cam payne, torrey craig and cam johnson heavily involved but once monty went back to cp3-booker-bridges-crowder-ayton the suns slammed the door pretty quickly

CP3 had great closer energy, had no time for hijinks

bron didn't feel like congratulating the suns on their win huh

can’t believe the suns are for real tbh

wow, sounds like they broke bron while i slept huh

suns were so done after game 3 really

book in games 5 and 6: 77 points, 78 minutes, 28-45 fg, 10-16 from 3, 11-11 FT. 4 turnovers

that was extremely bizarre. and then on the second possession where he walked slowly up the court so he could yell at the ref the suns held the ball so long that he was forced back into defense, ended up on chris paul, called KCP onto him so he could switch onto crowder and then just stood there motionless at the elbow as crowder hit a 3 to end the game

it was deeply odd seeing lebron lose out before the finals. ive actually never seen that before

"what on earth is lebron doing"

I only watched the highlights but sounds like what he was doing was a re-enactment of his behavior during ECF vs Celts Big 3

it was a Kobe homage. Specifically to Kobe's behavior in game 7 2006 when he was eliminated by the suns

feel like we used to have an unwritten agreement on here to not bring up each others old bad opinions, which was nice
― lag∞n,

knicks in 7
― lag∞n,

i only did that one for fun

congrats to me for picking the suns tho, that one was a serious pick, a lock if you will

all in good fun goon. i think philly/atl goes 7

if the mavs win i dont actually care which way either west semi goes which is a weird situation, theres always been a villain team before

all in good fun goon. i think philly/atl goes 7

totally dependent on embiids health, unfortunately

I'm not rooting for LeBron to retire, but it will be nice to have an NBA with a post LeBron vs MJ discourse

they wont stop tho lol

theres no one whos near to entering the debate so theyll just keep doing that one, tho granted prob with less intensity or frequency

would be neat to see lebron hit #1 career points hes only gotta play like 2 more full seasons to do it

yeah prob 3 more to be safe at the rate hes been missing games recently

one would think hell get there but i wouldnt put it at quite guaranteed lock status

look I ain't counting out the most freakish athlete of our generation but this had a big "last decent season" vibe to it, playing a zillion minutes has got to take its toll someday. as Jon Bois discovered the man has literally spent 0.3% of his life on the court in an NBA game

hes played 3 extra seasons worth of playoff games! and 18 regular seasons, of which he missed very few games, and played big minutes

if he absolutely has his heart set on that record then outside of catastrophic injury theres prob no stopping him but does anyone want to see 43 y/o lebron putting up 15 points a game for the cavs

holy shit if he can still put up 5 a game at age 43, absolutely

i dont see why he wouldnt be able to, what we saw in this series is prob pretty close to healthy 43 year old lebron

i mean jordan scored 20 at 40 and he didnt have the size or strength of bron

Lebron just doesn’t have fun playing basketball anymore.

yeah he seems kind of obsessed with his legacy, too much espn

He always finds a way to challenge himself tho, he needs to figure out what that is
