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

Well you gotta lose 2 for Bucks in 6

i get so mad at the nets' court why is it like that

foosball table-assed basketball court

Watching Blake Griffin out there talking trash like he's 2008 KG is fucking terrible.

the good news is that the bucks can't play much worse than this

Dude's basically an NBA carpetbagger.

blake’s an ass

blake is smart enough to know that to stay on the floor for this team he has to run around and fall down and make effort plays and stir shit up. it's an act like most of the things he does.

blake’s a smart-ass rather than a dumb-ass? i’ll allow it

Game was good til the end. Bucks simply should think about making shots.

I would simply make the shots

one of the nets big 3 getting hurt is prob more important in the long run than the bucks winning game 1 so all in all not the worst night for them

Yah I thought it was really just a bad Middleton game and everything else looked mostly normal.

Harden really shoulda thought about getting in shape.

felt like the nets chaotic swarming really gave the bucks trouble

Sixers coach Doc Rivers says Joel Embiid is a game-time decision for today's Game 1 against Atlanta.

seems insane they’re going to let him play

Source: Joel Embiid (right knee) will play and start in Game 1 of the Sixers-Hawks Eastern Conference Semifinals today (1 PM, ABC).

maybe its not that bad, guess well see

This seems unwise but maybe the tear is in a place that won’t get worse or doesn’t matter as much?

Not sure such a place exists. We'll see.

i mean, they better be right! he’s the entire franchise

it just strains the imagination to me that someone of embiid’s size and lower body injury history is gonna play 3 series on a torn meniscus and lead you to a title and everything is gonna be all good in the future, no harm no foul. i’m not a doctor! but that just seems like an unlikely outcome, to me

does seem somewhat outlandish

hubie just called paint points "painted points" and i love it

they put danny on trae and simmons on bogdan but it doesn’t appear as if danny has any shot of staying in front of trae

Philly throwing the ball all over the court for no reason certainly not helping.

9 Philly TOs in the 1st.

doc benching simmons and embiid at the same time is a bad idea

yeah playing a whole bench unit who does that in the offs

Who would have thought the Knicks would put up stiffer resistance than the Sixers.

I underrated the hawks because Gallinari and bogdanovic started the season so cold. Now that they’ve come around this roster makes a whole lot of sense.

danny green is just getting roasted by trae, they’re gonna have to put simmons on him before too long

the hawks are shooting unreasonably well today so we have to see how things go once the shooting normalizes but it looks like danny green and seth curry are at a big disadvantage in this series

neither trae or bogdan can defend but the sixers guards can’t do anything but shoot. the sixers have gotten some buckets by getting simmons or harris on bogdan tho

xxp Seems insane that wasn't the plan all along.

the sixers defensive strategy vs the hawks starting line up should be “let solomon hill shoot everything”

fast break simmons is so cool

it would be great to see simmons on a team that was like top 3 in pace i mean he’s just unstoppable in transition. the hawks have no answer for him or tobias on the fast break tbh & the sixers have been terrible today in the half court

yeah thats another way he doesnt fit with embiid

embiid looks fine physically but he’s gone into the [hubie voice] painted area like 2 times all half. seems pretty content to shoot jumpers

sixers should consider guarding trae

a foul in the backcourt in transition should be 2 shots + the ball, easy fix

Embiid definitely looks a bit limited on defense to me

he doesnt look like hes moving bad but he does look like hes trying to not move too much

a foul in the backcourt in transition should be 2 shots + the ball, easy fix

otm

Embiid definitely looks a bit limited on defense to me

we call that the brook lopez

Simmons needs to prove he is a DPOY candidate by locking Young up for the 2nd half. Otherwise I don't want to hear about it anymore.
