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

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

i have to say ty lue seems like one of the best playoff coaches to me

ja i would agree with that

mann shot 42% this season on 91 3pa so maybe he shouldnt be wide open

he wasn’t just open, they were giving him practice three pointers

rudy gobert’s 5 year $205m contract kicks in next year!

the clippers are basically like, we’re gonna put 4 guys on the arc and get an open three every possession down bcuz your center is still hanging by the rim. and the jazz are like, ok

i’m assuming quinn snyder must have died 20 minutes ago

Terrence "The Boat Rocker" Mann

haha this is bad

though otoh

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

granted this might be the most insane display of shotmaking i’ve seen in any game ever but quinn snyder is watching his team give up an 80 point half and is just like…. not changing his line up whatsoever?

one of the most crushing losses i can remember jesus

clippers vs nets finals would have me so vexed dudes

They can’t beat the suns right?

81-47 in the second half

it's pretty funny that quinn never gets the heat that coach bud does

but if the entire team is based around rudy gobert playing all the time it's possible you're a little bit fucked out of the gate in the playoffs

rudy gobert’s 5 year $205m contract kicks in next year!

shoulda put the jazz on my depression teams list yesterday

absolutely insane that batum, jackson, and mann were the clippers #2-4 guys in minutes in a clinching playoff game

Jazz in a very weird spot where they absolutely have to run it back but they’re gonna feel really depressed about it

Conley and Ingles are gonna be 34, Bojan 33... You’re kind of stuck here.

I mean what do you do when the other team shoots 80% in a half

you learn to guard the corner 3?

i basically agree that they have to run it back but if they don't have a better answer for "how do we defend smallball" heads will be rollingt

This is extremely Ewing theory btw. No one likes Kawhi, he bums everyone out and takes vacations during the season.
