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

bums me out that Jamal Murray will end up being a big "what if"of these playoffs

it’s very depressing

yeah its like that

tho dont think hed be helping them too much with their defense which had been shredded

Already four unassisted 3s for the Jazz in the first quarter tonight, so they're on pace to do this again.

you know who has been good this playoffs who usually kind of sucks reggie jackson

tho dont think hed be helping them too much with their defense which had been shredded

i think its possible that murray couldve –changed the complexion of the series— as they say, suns are just looking so good tho

also the guards that the nuggets have now are so bad on offense that paul and booker aren't being tested and can focus all their energy on their own offense

it would’ve been an excellent series

it’s difficult to say whether gordon and porter would’ve played better with murray healthy, you’d have to say yes but whether they would’ve been better enough is impossible to answer

murray is streaky too which also makes it hard to say

It’s not difficult to say which is why you’d have to say yes

regardless i think we can all say that we would have liked to see it

this is a ridiculous shot

Donovan Mitchell drills a TOUGH stepback 🔥

He's got 16 points at the half for the Jazz.pic.twitter.com/yedpFVAVbC

jazz are playing like shit but hitting a bunch of 3s

staying vaguely attached

donovan mitchell makes weird faces

We’re running out of healthy teams, sadly

mitchell pulled something. didn't look great.

if we somehow got a healthy west next year of jazz, suns, lakers, clippers, nuggets it would be incredible

blazers, mavs, pelicans, grizzlies… it’s too good to be true

Klays gonna be back too!

murray won’t be back till after christmas, but a healthy playoffs would be amazing

kyrie snapping giannis’ overeager older brother’s ankles was very satisfying

where did this mike james guy come from

He’s been in the nba before and had moments

oof, nasty sprain for kyrie

the bucks have such a chaotic energy

xp yeah that looked bad bad. if the nets are without him AND harden, hard for me to see how KD is enough to carry them through.

it feels like the bucks should be up by much more than 5 points but also hard to see the nets winning this game without kyrie

The Nets have ruled Kyrie Irving out for the rest of the game with a right ankle sprain.

That felt like a little bit of a dirty play from Giannis? I don't think he's that sort of player but if it was say Zaza Pachulia we would all be giving him shit, right?

FUCK ZAZA

joe harris totally invisible today

after we were crowning the nets back to back to back champs in here last week this game is a good reminder of the twists and turns of the playoffs

another game with horrible reffing from start to finish

the fact you don't retain a successful challenge is ridiculous

it’s pretty dumb

That felt like a little bit of a dirty play from Giannis? I don't think he's that sort of player but if it was say Zaza Pachulia we would all be giving him shit, right?

FUCK ZAZA

idk i felt like giannis was just boxing out for the rebound. it didnt look intentional like zaza.

pj tucker has been great on durant today

meanwhile the nets haven’t been able to guard giannis today

i think KD has played the entire second half :-/

is harden OUT out? like are they gonna look at bringing him back for G% if kyrie is out out?

Giannis 15% from 3 in the playoffs this year

BUCKS IN SIX from the crowd

Lol it might happen now

theres been no report on harden yet but my guess would be maybe the finals? this hammy is like the only injury hes ever had and he keep re-doing it.

durant looked like he kinda checked out after the kyrie injury. not fully engaged and forcing it. rumors were dunwiddie could be ready by the finals but maybe they can bring him back earlier. kyrie injury looked like a multi week thing but you never know w some of these guys. luka and klay had similar ones in recent years and like played the next game.

I’ve been saying only injuries could stop the nets and if that’s how it has to be well truly that’s a shame

my sympathy is hard capped

the harden one was like lol well thats kinda what you get for not bothering to get in shape but the kyrie one was a bummer imo. also kyrie is way more fun to watch.
