ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

dubs live! this series is cool

great defense on the final possession by steph and dray

i think you see there why so many coaches are willing to forego calling timeouts in that situation. i’d rather have fox w/ the ball in his hands in a scramble situation than against the warriors D. they did have a weirdly bad time in transition in the fourth quarter but still

Yeah they had numbers cos Steph was on the ground too

traes a hoe

hawks couldn’t get a stop at the end of this game to save their lives

i did not enjoy the way the celtics played offense tonight a w is a w but theyve gotta have more ball and body movement

hawks are one of the most fascinating teams to me. no idea how you bring back this roster even with better coaching. we’ve seen two straight seasons of the same thing. new GM doesn’t have ties to any of these guys except for maybe dejounte. they gotta try and shake it up again

wait I just realized it’s only 3-1 and we have to watch another game of that, distasteful

that was a pretty good game tho

they did better late game with this but yeah there are holes everywhere in the hawks defense you gotta move the ball and find them

feel like the celtics all thought they had individual advantages which they prob did but thats a trap cause if those advantages exist you can get much bigger ones by playing good offense

like if you think you can take bogdanovich when hes squared up just wait til you see how he looks in rotation

yeah i think that's exactly right. some of the late plays i liked were when jaylen was finding rob for layups on interior passes, you can get that stuff all day once you get the hawks moving.

jaylen tbf was just getting right to the rim on every drive maybe they shouldve just given it to him every time

tatum pushed a ref out of the way earlier players mightve not been that stoked on the officiating

this game absolutely blows lol

nuggs gonna give the gentlemens sweep? are they gentlemen

it's a 6 point game, let's take some deep breaths

I just meant from an aesthetic POV…way too many whistles

part of this is foul trouble, but the wild thing about this series is the nuggets bench has been the most dominant unit in all 4 games

anthony edwards is really good

The NBA is investigating Hawks guard Dejounte Murray’s actions toward officials at the end of Game 4 Sunday night, a league source told ESPN.

should be 1 game

one would think

wolves blowing it?

probably

what a run

concerning…

gobert getting wrecked under the rim, embarrassing

if this is how the wolves season ends… yikes

kat defending with his hands lol whatre u doin

cmon nikola you can’t miss that one

grant hill seems to be really enjoying this

haa some good basketball here

well at least he got a clean shot off

ant just dribbling right into murray

man that’s just inexcusable defense from AG. you can’t let him get a 3 off there

the big guys back

Sources: Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will return to the lineup in Game 4 vs. Heat tonight barring any setbacks. Antetokounmpo missed Games 2 and 3 with a lower back contusion.

Devin Booker's defense through the first round:

-League-leading 2.8 steals per game
-1.3 blocks per game
-Opponents are shooting just 39.6% against him overall and 48.8% within 6 ft
-Has defended more shots (96) than anyone pic.twitter.com/3QhKU1CJ0T

Hes been locked in

hes been a maniac out there for sure salute to him

much bigger test for him next round but if he can play true lockdown D on murray et al that definitely changes things

we thinking tatum and dejounte will both be suspended for the next game?

feel like the Bucks would love to be able to rest Giannis another game but man after that last game you kinda have to

havent heard that theyre investigating the tatum ref bump like they are dejountes, dejountes was obvs much worse but i guess i could see them suspending tatum to try to be fair idk

dejounte was way worse for sure, like legit threat to his face rage and tatum just shoving away. tatum should get a fine and dejounte should be suspended imo

yeah sounds right

jfc

Sacramento Kings star De'Aaron Fox has suffered a fractured index finger in his left shooting hand, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Fox is expected to be listed doubtful to play in Game 5 vs. Warriors.

maybe like a kobe thing where he can play through it? he looked great down the stretch

That sucks. Wanted to see if Kings could at least go up 3-2 to really pressure the champs.
