ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

yeah seems like it should be considering it subverts the rule of having a limited amount of time to get the ball in bounds

you should not be allowed to do it twice in a row without some sort of consequence lol

welp cant say i loved this series but the celtics got the job done

cant say theyre particularly looking like a team thats ready to beat the sixers but tomorrow is a new day

are the sixers actually good this time, unlike all the previous times?

i havent really watched them this year

theyre about the same

embiid still seems like a guy you can throw off his game

def but also he can kill you you cant mess around

Still have Embiid and Harden and their particular strengths/flaws, but they might be a little deeper/tougher than the last couple years.

the celtics know these guys extremely well, they play them well, and embiid isn't 100%, so i guess this will be a 7-game nailbiter

That ending sucked but glad the hawks occasionally showed what they are capable of. Just so undisciplined. John Collins played great but man he needs to catch the ball and go. Trae needs to make a lot of changes. How many times does he have to watch one of his heaves turn into a fast break for the other team to stop. Bogi’s really awful on d. On the plus side I think the Bey trade worked out and still love the young pups. I guess run it back with Quinn see if he can do anything. I mean what are the other options really

hawks played great celtics defense couldnt do much with them i thought this series would be a walk but it was not

Also gotta give it up to Smart. When they decided to go with him rather than White I thought it would backfire but he killed it

marcus is a gamer you have to have him in middle of things for cruchtime

tatum 30-14-7 1stl 2blk 0to 1pf 50/40/100

not jimmy buckets numbers but pretty good

i guess its helpful for athletes to be a little delusional but like man your shooting percentages are publicly available

3 or 4 threes….dare to dream

lol yeah maybe his standard is like every six games or so he hits some threes

i def thought that quote was fake when i first saw it

Dillon Brooks believes in the power of positive thinking. And mouthing off.

you gotta love a guy with a shooter’s mentality who shoots less than 30% from three

it is decreed

lol snitch tagging himself

PER is the only advanced stat I can find a playoff leaderboard for, but FYI:

oh I guess RAPTOR has a leaderboard too but it’s kinda silly, too small a sample for those kinda stats

sabonis looks pretty jittery

sometimes the refs call a foul cause they cant believe how good a play was

Poole killing the dubs right now

sabonis got fucked up

Mike browns adjustments look good so far

pretty daring to play the warriors game

Warriors very sleepy this first half

steph grifting

Darvin Ham on the Milwaukee Bucks, Mike Budenholzer and Giannis Antetokounmpo losing in the first round: “Coach Bud is going through a lot on a personal level. He just lost a brother. He and I have been texting. I love those guys. They’re a part of my basketball family.” pic.twitter.com/yqVzLw9FVH

Might explain why his head wasn’t in it

damn

its too bad these teams had to meet in the first round instead of beating the lakers and grizz

Sabonis being in foul trouble the best thing to happen to the kings

this doesnt really feel like a playoff game

I do not have faith in the dubs being able to pull out another Win on the road

Warriors had no pop. Never strung together a run of any kind

game 7 baby that’s what it’s all about

its true that is what its all about

game 7 baby xp haha

what its all about

to me, it's all about the Game 7s

whats it all about?

a: game 7

this doesnt really feel like a playoff game
