ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

Heat say Jimmy Butler is OUT for Game 2.

— Andrew Lopez (@_Andrew_Lopez) May 2, 2023

o jeez

the thing where every seed from 1-8 is represented in the 8 remaining teams is freaking me out

yeah the highest seed playing tonight is the #5 new york knicks baby

heat happy to steal game 1

the brackets shaking out such that the high seed teams cant even knock out the low seed ones in this round is doubly weird. could legit have a 7 and an 8 seed in the conference finals

heat happy to steal game 1

also more than most teams they have a specific strategy for when their best player sits that has led to success in the past

and game 3 isn't until saturday so jimmy basically gets a week off

i cant imagine joel tries to play tomorrow either. got game 1 now head home and rest

if the heat win this game im sorry we need to call off the series and cancel the knicks.

knicks are fine cmon 5 seed shouldnt be expected to be a huge favorite even vs the 8 seed

gsw/lal is probably going to break some viewership records

all the hollywood stars will be there *wild applause* and the bay area billionaires too *prolonged booing*

we call them baybi's for short

finally the showdown america has been waiting for, the movies we all love vs the apps we all crave, who will come out on top

being hot and good at pretending is better than owning a company

i don't use apps or watch movies. which playoff team represents video games

the suns

gotta be the suns due to ayton being an elite 2k player

ok, video games besides nba2k

lol

the discourse is already painful, steph and lebron stans just endlessly fighting over the same talking points that have been going on since 2015.

miami defense playing really connected good stuff

they had some really nice possession. will be interesting to see what they do w/ bam at the end of the game bcuz they kinda need him on two guys. he was enveloping brunson

it’s clear the knicks have way more individual talent on the floor but the heat didn’t look uncomfortable at all in that half & should prob be up more

if the knicks lose this game i will simply have no choice but to laugh

i may never stop laughing

jimmy eating popcorn courtside

Tyler Herro giving big Machine Gun Kelly vibes

more like machine gum kelly

the heat are packing the paint like crazy just blatantly disrespecting every knock as a shooter

knick…

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul is expected to be re-evaluated in one week after MRI on his groin injury today, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Suns are preparing to be without Paul through Games 3-5, sources said.

I just don’t see how the suns can win 2 of the next 3

seems pretty unlikely

love alley oops

barrett turning back into an ice cube in this half

somehow brunson has 20, barrett has 22, and randle has 23 and the heat are still winning

i am sick of gabe vincent

its that quickley vincent battle we all tune into the playoffs to see

caleb martin was an incredible rehab project by the heat and they have him on a very advantageous contract now

heats ability to turn undrafted guys, randos etc into players is really something

yeah they are just too tuff

hate riley but unfortunately he's a genius

“was the three point shooter in his motion before the off ball foul occurred” is def my least favorite review in the NBA. there has to be a better way to figure these plays out

definitely the right call to give it to him, not sure what jackson was watching
