ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

based malone

instead they ended up w/ option e, which was get zero opportunities to win the game bcuz your team ran the clock out before shooting. i'm sorry but it was a complete coaching apocalypse, truly could not have been handled any worse

it happens :)

idk i don't think it requires a timeout to remind your all-star players to maybe run their offense before 0:04

that's more on tatum because he thought he could create his own shot, and was wrong

you're talking hypothetically here but we quite very literally saw that, in actuality, a time out was required to get jayson tatum to start the offense prior to 4 seconds, as jayson tatum had the ball and didn't start the offense prior to 4 seconds

regardless calling the timeout and advancing the ball is the right thing to do because its faster, when youre behind you want to go fast, thats the basic principal

I have to say I always understood that jeff green was a polarizing player, but having him on your team really crystallizes the experience. his whole career he’s been a role player who’s been thought of as a high-end starter, and now hes a sub-replacement level player who’s thought of as a role player. he has an insane poster dunk about once a week but is otherwise so, so harmful out there. this also gets to one of my pet issues about defense — see also discussions about jokic’s value — which is that rebounding is just so systematically overlooked as a part of defense both by casuals and even big-time talking heads. you just simply can’t be 6 foot 9 and rebound like you’re a foot shorter. the nuggets just get absolutely killed on the glass whenever jokic is sitting

jordan u are truly deranged my friend

both jokic and malone referring to ishbia as “a fan” in the post game was really funny

he has an insane poster dunk about once a week but is otherwise so, so harmful out there.

Jeff green 41

agreed

Great win for the Suns last night in an amazing series so far!
That should be and is the only story. Suspending or fining anyone over last nights incident would not be right. I have alot of respect for Jokic and don’t want to see anything like that. Excited for game 5! Go Suns!

— Mat Ishbia (@Mishbia15) May 8, 2023

"Go Suns" is a sentiment we can all agree on

are the suns better without CP on the floor?

it's a ridiculous way to run an offense but at least KD is getting enough touches

i cannot agree on "Go Suns" sorry. not until the nuggets win the nba playoffs

are the suns better without CP on the floor?

we are learning tho

Joe Mazzulla on no timeout: “It’s something we talked about all year. I trust my guys to make the right play.”

Still said with 14 seconds left you definitely want to get “as many chances as you can.” Said he would learn from that.

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) May 8, 2023

love to learn from that

the nba playoffs are a journey

just thinking about that game yesterday and i dont understand how horford is still this good on defense. he was in embiids head... he'll be 37 in a few weeks, 5 blocks 2 steals yesterday

yeah its crazy

he also had by far his best 3pt shooting season this year

yeah hes always shot them well in the offs though he's like 41% career

i cannot agree on "Go Suns" sorry.

How about "Suns must go!"

hard to overstate what a nightmare philly fans avoided yesterday in what should have been a back breaking home loss in which all of the blame would have had to fall on embiid

yeah that was a huge win, it was looking like another late game embiid tired collapse. harden really saved the day.

just over here comparing jokic and embiid’s playoff performances so far…doing the judge judy laptop meme

Philly didn't even look like they were running offensive plays in the 4th quarter, so many possessions had both Embiid and Harden right next to each other beyond the arc with 5 seconds left on the shot clock, resulting in a double covered Harden having to make something happen

next time the celtics should consider playing good in the first three quarters

Per 100 possessions, the Knicks are generating ~60 closeout situations against Miami, which would have been No. 1 during the regular season.

New York is also producing 0.88 points-per-closeout - 0.72 against man-to-man - which would have been No. 30 during the regular season.

they need to play grimes more. they tried playing quickley more too, but kyle lowry took him to school

i don't feel like she's got the size to guard athletic wings

grimes starting tonight indeed

Warriors sick of getting roasted by DLo

Gary Payton II expected to enter Warriors starting lineup in that roving fifth spot, per @ShamsCharania. His minutes have fluctuated in these playoffs. https://t.co/Sy5pVfbVF6

wld be cool if all the series tied 2-2

For sure

Jokić fined $25,000 for run-in with Suns’ owner Ishbia, not suspended https://t.co/KyQCoxrmZU

— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) May 9, 2023

now fine the mortgage guy

what a joke man

I was honestly expecting a suspension.

heat are playing with their food

i didnt think theyd do it just cause ishbia touched jokic first

also it was funny they prob take that into account

funny and good, should do it again

All the money the heat gave to Duncan Robinson and they end up w a better version of him for dirt cheap w max strus. Duncan’a making 20M per for the next three seasons oof

he’s overpaid but he’s showed in these playoffs that he still has value. he’d be the best role player shooter on the knicks, suns, lakers, sixers… not the worst problem for the heat to have

knicks gifting possessions, lucky they’re not down by more

Uhhh GP just ran off the court???

and dray passed to his ghost

Donte wide open dunk passes out it’s the worst thing about modern nba

feel like people make too much of a deal out of that its just a mistake

It’s common
