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

Every made basket like an 8 year old unwrapping a christmas nintendo for ballmer

Clippers now looking lost

Ugh I hate that call against batum right there

well reggie jackson has turned into klay thompson

love Reggie

Reggie is anti shook

royce o neal not hitting his wide open threes

!!!! Mannnn

not rudy’s best stretch of rim protection here in the fourth

Until that Donovan drive it’s been all perimeter action for Utah

I want this utah woman with two watches to lose

Not very inspiring play by either team here at the end

mitchell missing a few threes by like 2 feet here

Those rainbow threes were truly bizarre

both bogdanovics have a case for being the best role player in the playoffs

Jazz needed just a normal mitchell game and didn’t get it

i think they also shot something like 3-15 from three in the second half

Couldn’t miss in the first.

Clippers say Paul George is the first player in franchise history to have at least 35 points, 15 rebounds and five assists in a postseason game.

haha. congrats to paul but considering the franchise….

Yah kinda surprised Kawhi hadn’t done that yet

Or Blake

Really impressive win w no Kawhi jazz at home game 5

i admittedly don't know much about the strange and beautiful game of basketball but it seems to me like losing game 5 at home when the other team's best player cannot play seems not to bode well

Happy for pg

he got revenge for those "over-rated" chants at least

i have very little faith pg can recreate that in a couple days

he’s kinda playing with house money at this point

He’s the best player in the series I think he can do it

i think mitchell might be better at this point but he’s also hobbled to some degree

Correct

So I liberally have no idea what happened there. Went out to watch the game with friends, one of which is a philly fan. Around the end of Q3 when it’s like a 22 point game, the philly fan ask if anyone brought a pen. So I say yes and we go smoke in the parking lot. We’re talking about our families and stuff and eventually walk back and it’s an 11 point game. But I’m baked so I can’t really tell if the score says 80 to 91 or 60 to 91 bc either one is plausible. So I spent the rest of the 4th quarter with the philly fan across from me and I’m trying to be chill just saying things like “I don’t actually think this is possible” and then they did it. I think I need to watch that last quarter like 3 more times just to make up for having to be nice while they pulled that shit off. That was unreal

Must have been beautiful. I had the inverse(?) of this in G4 - I got baked when the Sixers were up big and started talking to a friend on the phone and half-watched the Sixers give the lead away. I didn't smoke for G5 because I didn't want a repeat. So much for that theory.

Woke up this morning at 5am and couldn't stop thinking about the game last night. Just brutal.

Simmons has to go. It was one thing when the debate was "why can't he shoot 3s?" Quite another when the debate is "why can't he shoot FTs?"

atlanta did not appear to be even guarding him in the fourth

it was among the weirdest games i've ever seen. i picked detroit out of the east, i still think it's possible but i don't know what happened there.

lol just owning it huh

ben simmons' year by year playoff free throws

oi

hes got the yips

I'm afraid Giannis is gonna go down the same path

Something weird is definitely going on with Simmons.

kemba (90% post season ft) for simmons

Throw in Marcus Smart and a 1st for Kemba's busted knee and I'll think about it.

no we need marcus

kemba nesmith a 1st and a 2nd

I'm going to be at dinner at friends with no tv on Friday and I almost feel relieved not having to watch Gm 6. Sit Embiid.

ok, lol

Ben Simmons has been clutch, not missing a single shot in the 4th quarter of the last 2 games.

He’s a perfect 0-0 FG in that span.
