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

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.

when they went all in on kyrie and post-Achilles Durant even before harden pushed his way in they were always gonna be more susceptible to a major playoff derailment than most squads

for sure. that play on the injury didnt look dirty at all to me. honestly surprised theres not like 3-5 ankle rolls per game with how much these guys land near eachother

maybe the nets are cursed

yeah I feel like I nearly roll an ankle like once a week just running and walking and, like, stepping up on curbs

had a pretty blissed out two beers convo with a friend last night about how amazing athlete’s bodies have to be lol xp

they are superhuman

lebrons injury history makes no sense. like the fact he didnt have a multi week ankle tweak until his 18th season is just mind boggling.

yeah lebron is superhuman amongst superhumans

my idea: they should make some movies about super people with unreal abilities
