he's always really good in the offs

he’s underrated tbh might not even make all NBA this year but advanced stats always love him. he’s gonna need to carry the heat tonight

lowry is out again huh

he was playing bad anyway

lol miami game five 2-2 place is half empty at tip

hey it’s a 7:30 start that’s basically 4 pm in miami

i respect it

philly not looking real sharp here

in a shocking development for this series the home team is raining threes while the road team looks like they found out what basketball was this morning

putting everything else aside i was convinced embiid would come out in china shop wrecking mode with one of those 12 point 8 rebound first quarters but it just seems clear he doesn’t have that in him after these injuries

yeah he dove to save a ball and got up holding his knee and his back which afaik are not official injuries

Ja Morant has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee and is doubtful to return this postseason, the Grizzlies said Tuesday. https://t.co/6iI7JQfbBJ

Oh my god get Embiid out of there

oy vey joel

yeah its over let the man heal

i understand why doc was losing it but that was just a bad break

the two genders

If you're Kane Fitzgerald you gotta just let him vent there. Unless he said something truly awful you can't give a tech when his best player is crumpled under the basket like that.

He ran out on the floor during live play, and then went ballistic on what was a good non-call that he clearly couldn't see from where he was. https://t.co/3DXBc3L3jR

Yeah that tech was bullshit. I know it was an accident but your best dude just got boinked in his broken eye socket

Embiid seems like such a liability right now, he’s running at like 50%

In a sign of how things are going for the 76ers, DJ Khaled just pretended to check into the game and gave Erik Spoelstra a shoulder massage, both of which the crowd loved. Miami is up 18.

i just assumed dj khaled did that at every home game

i can’t remember a series where the home/road disparity was as great as this one

Not a great series to watch

mavs answered the bell tonight

hitting some tough shots late in the shot clock so far

mavs play with discipline, not a lot of mistakes. still need the 3s to fall

it's fun watching booker when he's on

luka has been pretty bad tonight

the suns have missed sooooo many shots from both three and at the rim

Reggie is calling one of his worst games imo. Harlan seems like he’s slippin too, missing opportunities to get hyped then hyping the wrong plays.

the suns have missed sooooo many shots from both three and at the rim

ayton woke up

Yes he did

Deandre Wiggins

yeah, ayton has great touch around the rim but sometimes i want to be all bill walton "throw it down big man!"

it’s extra crazy bcuz he’s a really good FT shooter for a center. but he’s taken 13 FTs in 4.5 games this series

Have the mavs score this half yet?

Wiggins has never been that efficient

We've never seen a team lose a 2-2 Game 5 by 30+ and come back and win the series.

The big winners are 10-0 in eventually winning series.

So... we'll see what the 76ers and Mavericks can do this week to buck that history.

some close games haha

ayton def soft one thing is hes pretty slight with a high center of gravity so i cld def see how he tended towards more of a finesse game also doesnt seem like he has great flexibly which prevents him from getting low and powering through guys but playing soft is still a bad habit he needs to get after it more even if hes not ideally built for a physical game

prob the biggest reason the suns lost last year was they have no one who can even pretend to defend giannis he was just cooking ayton over and over, better hope the bucks dont get through again this year

looked up his weight and the official stats have him giannis and kd all within 10lbs of each other which just cant be true
