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

that's just not gonna happen too many times

the suns going up 2-0 without chris paul and then losing four straight with him back would be pretty hilarious

jordan please take your terrible no good very bad vibes elsewhere

look i’m just trying to find the silver lining if the suns lose the series, which would be further pain for chris paul

chris paul is an angel!

hes a lil bastard but hes OUR lil bastard

Suns ain't losing this series

i’m definitely down for the chris paul redemption narrative but i also can’t deny that it would be funny for his team to lose in the conference finals after winning two games without him. it’s kind of a win win situation honestly

Chris Paul is bad for basketball and ideally would never win a title

what a coupla scrooges!!!!

im just going to concentrate MORE good vibes to the phoenix suns basketball organization now

Seems like Suns fever is taking hold. I'm 100 miles from Phoenix but the 1st 2 places I went to to try to watch the game were packed. 3rd place wasn't a bar per se but still had a small but rowdy crowd riveted to the game. This is the 1st time Suns have been good since I moved to AZ so I didn't know if the fanbase had it in 'em.

They pay Gallo a lot but it’s paying off lately

the hawks bench isn't bad or anything but it's pretty clear that trae is going to need to singlehandedly drag them to victory. giannis is doing whatever he wants

i think i would be staggering trae and collins to some degree if i was nate to at least try and keep up w/ the bucks offense when trae is resting

Giannis looks like Wilt

bucks are +28 on 2 pt shots alone

Thanasis 4th quarter showcase let’s go

Throughout these playoffs the guy I’ve ended up questioning the most is Capela. He’s looks like a tenth of the player he was in the regular season

well this freed up a couple hours of my evening

hawks made a great run but i dont think theyre ready to beat the bucks

gallo was somehow -25 in 16 minutes. and he even scored 12 points

if my math is right the bucks shot 35-55 from two

without hunter the hawks don’t have any wing or perimeter defenders, really. the previous two match ups didn’t test them in those spots honestly tho seth curry had a good series. i don’t see any answers for them in this series on that end, capela can’t be a one man defense

The bucks are such a strange team because Giannis is just such a freight train that games can just get totally out of control. But a bogged down game they can look like a .500 team.

Brook Lopez with 16-1-0-3-1. Probably some sort of 7 footer oddity there

Don’t understand why he’s never been a good rebounder

Yeah it’s hard to square with his shotblocking

He’s been pretty amazing ever since he messed up that play in game 7 tho

He’s kind of a microcosm of their issues, like he’s a dude who can dominate on both ends and does a lot of little things right (at least things that do not involve the shot clock) and yet a lot of times they just park him at the 3 point line like he’s Bosh on the Heat. The Bucks are generally the more talented team in every playoff series they’ve been in but Budenholzer insists on this high variance sort of strategy where they shoot tons of 3s despite not being particularly good at them. So they’ll blow out their opponents sometimes but they also lose a lot of close games they shouldn’t. It’s kind of the opposite of what you want to do as the overdog

The clippers might be the most detestable team since the bad boys

clippers radiate insecure fuckboi energy its embarrassing

playoffs baby

A Clippers fan and Suns fan just got into a fight during the timeout.

Book hasn’t been able to solve pat bev

imagine feeling strongly enough about the clippers to fight someone

otm

Fire these grey clips unis to the moon

also trying to imagine actively rooting for paul george to succeed

it would basically be like rooting for a cat. the cat is going to do whatever the fuck it wants and you're pretending you're involved.

lol

Some NICE tip ins by Ayton tonight

that’s 16 missed shots in a row with 4 TOs/offensive fouls mixed in.

— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) June 27, 2021

just came back to this game after finishing a movie, did a triple take on the time/score to make sure i had it right

strong 2005 spurs pistons finals vibes rn

a truly dysfunctional game

idk theres a lot of fatigue, but the d is pretty sound

Rough night of officiating here

CP missing two little mid range shots in a row

lmao paul george has thrown a title in the trash with missed free throws this series

Jesus Christ Demarcus

lol
