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

that trae shot was pure dame

This is a fun fourth quarter

are the sixers actually better with ben simmons on the floor

trae is someone who just needed to demonstrate that he could play his game on a winning team for me to flip my opinion without regret.

miss the old days when it would take 10 minutes for the lights to warm up

Ben's body language is fucking terrible. Looks like a 7 yo out there looking for his lost puppy.

Why did Embiid take that shot? Ridiculous.

that embiid step back was not the shot xp lol

sixers defense was really tight down the stretch.

feel like everyone on the hawks not named trae and gallo was looking like they were gonna throw up their dinners in the last 4-5 mins

kind of anticlimactic final two minutes after that trae shot

huerter was playing hot potato until he took that bad three, collins travelled with no one on him etc

game 7 baby

embiid just letting gallo walk into a dunk?

doc better not put simmons back out there after this to

excited to find out who the clippers are playing tonight

13-24 FTs may really haunt the hawks

I am feeling the only reason the Sixers won was to heighten the pain by losing in Gm 7.

thats the spirit

northeast sports fatalism baby!

sorry but it would be very funny if the jazz lost to paul george and the la clippers

the fact that the jazz have the famous center rudy gobert and absolutely no way to punish the clippers for not playing anyone taller than 6-8 is not great for them

i've seen some weird nba twitter angst about rudy being named dpoy when he can't do fuckall in this series, i guess the regular season/playoffs divide is becoming too much for some?

it is kind of weird

too many games

How are you 7'2" but can't dunk it when you're 2 feet from the rim

i mean it isn’t great that you can apparently neutralize him in the playoffs by just not putting anyone over 6’ 8” on the floor

one weird trick rudy gobert doesnt want you to know

clarkson absolutely roasting the clippers lmao

omg

21 point quarter lmfao the dude is completely unconscious

you gotta be kidding me with this dude

i’m pissed other guys started shouting after he missed one

shooting*

clippers getting spanked on their home floor you love to see it

can't believe paul george isn't putting together two good games in a row when his team needs him

JVG actually with a good suggestion about giving teams a certain number of fouls per game within the first 4 seconds of the shot clock so they can’t hack in transition relentlessly

yeah i don't hate that! i mean i'd ban all transition hacks but he is proposing a nice measured reduction.

yeah i would be more harsh. i suggested outright banning backcourt fouls but in this game they’ve been hacking in semi transition when the ball is around the three point line

the nice thing about jeff's idea that could be incorporated into a larger policy is that it takes ref judgment out of the equation which is never a bad thing

yeah that’s the key element i think, it has to be as black and white as possible

let’s check the replay just to be sure that foul was within 4 seconds tho, the clock is reading 19 but we’re not sure

well this is getting a little interesting

well in a round full of horrific losses this one would take the cake

man that Bucks-Nets G5 really gonna play out 3 times in less than a week huh

holy shit

just learned that terance mann lived in lowell, mass for much of his formative years so i guess i am a fan!

I actually need the clips to win so the suns have a better shot of advancing

the clippers shot 15-21 in that quarter

clippers just spreading the jazz out, putting gobert in no man’s land and feasting on wide open corner threes
