ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

the heat had a negative point differential this year!

heat really letting me down here

this game is only strengthening my belief that JJJ is the grizzlies best player

JJJ averaged 28 minutes a game this year. if he can figure out how to stay on the court he could give them so much more.

I do think that as presently constructed ja’s playmaking unlocks another ceiling

fucking love to see it

at the end of this heat game the four teams that won game 1 on the road will all have lost game 2

wtf the bucks have 77 points in the first half

could be a long night for the Wolves

hard to get more time when wasting fouls on stuff like this

So this was a weird play in real time, and it appears JJJ was holding AD's hand but making it look like AD was pushing him off.. good call by the ref to figure this out pic.twitter.com/WAnMI5450E

sadly, kat's the definitive 'you're not that guy, pal' of the nba

ok I'm sorry but KAT kinda looks like a 2k create-a-character that some teenager was just trying to make look fucked up

very odd fellow

Jingles with 17 points on 7 shots

the cliip of kat just chilling holding the ball, trying to direct traffic (??) until bruce brown walks up and takes it from him needs to be on the career retrospective

he's a great case for how to differentiate "having basketball skills" from "understanding basketball"

I fucking love bruce brown. it actually took me longer to come around to his fit than most, but he’s for sure a 16 game player

he looks like an above replacement level rotation player in every playoffs and then he hits free agency and no team in the league wants to pay him. it’s hard to figure out

That's one way to clean it up 🧼 pic.twitter.com/I6166eV7sr

Milwaukee's win makes it 13 consecutive for the home team in this scenario and 19 of the last 20. https://t.co/MZ26SuGOvo

the denver simon says guy is such a weirdo

jesus christ 25-6 run wolves

yeah I thought we were cooked

man you gotta hate when this happens in front of the home crowd

call me a Gregghead because I'm a huge fan of Antman tonight

the difference between the quality of the break/halftime music at denver compared to memphis is striking

Rudy lost his shit again

murray flurry let’s go

ant and murray back and forth has been breathtaking

yeah talk about two great performances

that was a blast

we weren't going to win this series either way, but it's tough in a game like this thinking about if jaden mcdaniels and naz reid were playing

super fun game

Glad I tuned back in for the 2nd half great to see Murray look like himself one of the leagues funnest players when he’s on a heater

Riling up lebron has never worked before let’s see if it works this time

"I don't care. He's old. ... I don't respect no one until they come and give me 40."

a new annoying challenger steps forward

nice of him to give Lebron a very specific and attainable goal to aim for next game

Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out for tonight with a right knee sprain according to source.

— Ohm Youngmisuk (@NotoriousOHM) April 20, 2023

god dammit

Leonard aggravated knee in Game 1, played through it in Game 2 and is expected to be day-to-day ahead of Game 4 on Saturday, source tells ESPN. Injury isn't related to his previous ACL injury. https://t.co/v7mXgQLokN

Imagine what would happen without load management.

lol

between this and giannis it kinda feels like load management is seeping into the first round…

the thing is the bucks can beat the heat without giannis and the clippers cant beat the suns without kawhi (& pg)

lol pbkr tho

has kawhi ever played a game where he's less than like 95% health?

this would be the most Wolves thing ever, would have to respect it

With Tommy Sheppard out as Wizards head of basketball ops, expect a a handful of names to pop up for the job including Trajan Langdon and Tim Connelly who has family ties to the area.

yeah if i was tim connelly i too would have "family ties to the area" (rudy gobert isn't on this team)
