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

little known fact gilbert arenas is a 2 two time MVP

this is wild

Seventeen of the N.B.A.’s last 22 championships have been won by the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio, Golden State and Miami.

Hunter out again tonight. Really bummer that he and Cam aren’t able to play

lol at danny green and javale having the most rings of remaining players

this is wild

true but if we arbitrarily focus on the last 9 seasons including this one, there've been 7 different champs

thats better

player movement is Good

idk what this means

The first-place vote for Derrick Rose was a cumulative fan vote for the MVP award rather than a media member, league spokesman Tim Frank confirms.

Embiid makes moves sometimes that no 7 ft player should be able to make.

They just need to put Simmons on Young and leave him.

Basically, Sixers starters are blowing out the Hawks in the first two games and the Sixers bench is unplayable.

huerter doing things

the hawks are taking some body blows and hanging in there. impressive even if they lose this one.

hox

hawks are not afraid

I did not foresee Shake Milton coming on and sparking the team in the 2nd half.

sixers got a 20 point lead in 4 minutes

getting buried by shake milton, sometimes the playoffs just suck lol

random guy playoff games are pretty funny, kelly o crushing the wizards in game 7, the other team just has to be like "ok"

He was playing a lot (and great) early in the season, but seemed to lose his confidence after the ASB and wasn't getting many minutes lately.

Basically Maxey and Hill had taken his minutes.

dwayne wade making people play ridiculous games inside a large cube is not a thing i believe to be real

It’s real and it’s extremely fucking weird

hmm idk

i think it's normal

i would never make a plan to watch dwyane and his cube but i would be willing to stumble upon it. our schedules haven't lined up so far.

big game for big joel

I know stars up their minutes in the playoffs, but Joel doing that immediately after the torn meniscus feels like living on borrowed time.

jazz arena is lit

clips starting the small lineup

let's just hope everyone is on good behavior because it's great to hear the fans supporting their team

lol morris getting a tech two minutes into game 1

jazz rolling with a 1 guard 4 wing line up vs the team with gobert is pretty interesting. if he can’t punish them for having marcus morris as the biggest guy on the floor it’s not a great look for the concept of the traditional center

rudys gotta have to try to kill them on the glass cause he doesnt have the offensive skills to make them pay for putting morris on him

jazz have gone small now

my recommendation to the jazz would be making a shot

it’s not a great look for the concept of the traditional center

i'd say more it's not a great look for people who claim rudy gobert should be second for mvp. gobert isn't really an archetype, he's a pretty unique player.

yeah you could not play marcus morris on joel embiid for instance

boogie!

I can't quite get a handle on Ingles' personal vibe

simmons had FOUR points, zero in the second half and the sixers won by double digits? doesn't seem likely.

a gregarious australian, everyone likes him apparently xp

ingles seems like a good dude. he very nearly did not have a career in the nba and it seems like he has stayed humble.

also it's wild that he can get to the rim at all, he uses what physical gifts he has but is such a skilled and crafty player

okay he sounds really cool, good news

i have never heard of him dabbling in the alt-right bogut style if we're parsing aussie ballers

the fact that he's Australian makes everything make sense

Joel doing that immediately after the torn meniscus feels like living on borrowed time.

yeah this cannot be medically sound especially for the guy who with the famously iffy knees i have no idea what they are thinking but it is not about the future
