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

have the bucks tried to go at harden and make him play defense at all? if so i haven't noticed.

giannis just blew by him with zero effort

relying heavily on jeff green and blake griffin… not a recipe for success

hate to see my beloved nets struggle

Hey Green is doing pretty well

Am I correct in thinking this game might be tied if Harden wasn’t out there

no you are not correct

Well I rarely am

this game reminds me of games 3 and 4 of the bucks-heat series where any time the nets get it to 11 points and you’re like “ok might get it under 10 here!” the bucks immediately score 4-5 points

KD/J.Green: 10/16 FG, 33 points
Other Nets: 4/24 FG, 8 points pic.twitter.com/AwI8LHKHeC

I do know that if Milwaukee wins the Game 6 crowd is gonna be absolutely nuts

Per @nbastats, Kevin Durant tonight is the first player to play the entire first half of a playoff game since CJ McCollum in Game 5 of last year's first round.

someones got to have a talk with him over halftime he should not be out there

hahah to paraphrase our great friend dr. morbius, what are you DOING to dmx???

hasn't dmx suffered enough

jeff green simply cannot miss

bud looks like someone who enjoys himself some steely dan

lol yeah the way he talks too

i have a hazy memory of a story from his hawks days where his own players ran into him at i think a young jeezy concert?

i hate the brooklyn nets

Oof Nets cannot miss from 3

bucks got big offensive rebounds on back to back possessions there to salvage 3 points

travis scott bandwagoning onto the nets i see

Yikes the tide is turning fast here

dead cat bounce

bruh…..

this would be an unimaginably bad loss

Nets have shot like 85% in the last 10 minutes

wellll maybe not a dead cat bounce!

so the bucks are just conceding switches so KD can pick on connaughton every possession? k

speaking personally i would choose a different defensive strategy

as someone who lost sleep over this game last night can I just say this was the worst possible outcome

might think about trapping kd

giannis continues to attack without knowing what he's going to do

i know it’s not pretty but if the nets defensive strategy is to just put jeff green on giannis the giannis needs to back him under the basket and jam it on his head

bucks going back to not playing offense in crunch time

bucks should do... something

it’s really amazing it’s like someone suddenly unplugs a cord on their offense

he’s being passive, harden poking the ball from him once shouldn’t discourage him from driving directly at him and putting him in the trash can

i know it’s not pretty but if the nets defensive strategy is to just put jeff green on giannis the giannis needs to back him under the basket and jam it on his head

they were doing it for a bit but giannis fucks this up too

You need lower body strength and footwork to back down defenders in the post; something all these lanky upper body development only new age guys like Giannis lack.

kind of feels like the Bucks franchise is about to be decided in the next 5 minutes here

giannis doesn’t need to lower body strength to back down jeff green he just did it like 4 possessions ago and scored easily the bucks are just playing like headless chickens

bucks come out of the time out and run two screens to get jrue onto KD……..

xp he did it once and then he couldn't do it the next time down the floor because the more time he has to think the worse it goes

Giannis why

win or lose coach bud should retire after the game
