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

even if its only 3 teams, that's 3 teams whose ticket to the conf finals can only really be derailed by injury, which is pretty much what's happening now

When he's on, Giannis is the most joyous player in the game, I feel

which of course is also bad for the league. I mean I wanted the Lakers to lose but more than that I wanted a *healthy* Lakers to lose

i think i’m rooting for a suns or jazz title at this point. i want to see the bucks lose in game 7 i think it would be dramatic and add more intrigue to the league

dramatic in that it will spurn several hundred "what the fuck was Milwaukee trying to do in the 4th" posts on ILH

Bucks knocking off injury-plagued Nets and then folding to Sixers would be maximally disappointing outcome I think (and I like the Sixers)

thew sixers aren't playing next round

hawks suns would be the finals everyone was predicting

Bucks have dominated Philly in the regular season the last few years, I think it's a good matchup for them

bucks have dominated this sixers team in reg season i think

yeah that

bucks-sixers would be the most anxiety riddled playoff series i can remember

never have two teams tried so hard to win the eastern conference and not been able to

neither team would score more than 16 points in a fourth quarter and there’d be 85 combined missed fourth quarter free throws

lol

#Sixers coach Doc Rivers on mood of the team going into Game 6: 'Win the game, be aggressive, play. ... I think our guys are ready, but you never know.'

sometimes these coaches are too honest lmao

doc rivers on game 6: "who gives a shit"

"you know you just go out there and try to do basketball stuff i guess, hope for the best"

how does this happen it shouldnt be this complicated

Ben Simmons worked on FTs for like 10 minutes, form looked different every rep smh pic.twitter.com/nCCAk6JPMp

there's no better time to have the yips than the playoffs baby

just as a reminder to everyone who's been feeling a bit disappointed in these playoffs so far: the Lakers were eliminated in the first round. good times.

that was pretty cool

these playoffs have been good imo

rough start for the sixers (elimination game)

i enjoyed the laker elimination, i'll give you that.
suns/hawks would genuinely be a lot of fun but i was riding for suns/pistons and i'm still riding for suns/pistons eskettit

embiid four turnovers in the 1st quarter

maybe finally saving energy for the 4th

i keep forgetting who the clippers are even in a series with, that's how you leave your stamp on the post-season right there

how could you forget about the league leading utah jazz smh

trae young is good folks

except for the hair

hes in a tough spot with the hair not gonna pretend hes executed but still

s curry balling

whoa john collins

good dunk on "the big guy"

he dunked on embiid and clotheslined him at the same time lmao sick

anyone on twitter wondering if that was an offensive foul is a cop

This looks a lot like 4Q of G5. Embiid and Curry show and everyone else sitting around.

hawks just missed 4 straight fts

okongwu looks pretty good out there

you really do have to love dwight ruining things for no discernible reason

Atlanta just looks like the younger, more athletic team (which they are).

dwights all its time to do some dwight shit

he's all "i can cause an official review if you guys want a 5 minute break?"

it’s funny that doc is keeping simmons in, probably thinking “if he fouls out, they can’t hack him”

How are the Sixers winning when no starter has been to the line until Embiid just now? I would say they were down by 20.

hawks are like 7-16 from the line, kind of a wash
