ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

they should just award the LOB trophy to the winner of the nuggets suns series

that dray fakeout was a beauty yeah

of all the players in this game I wonder who would be best at "The Cube". Curry seems like an obvious answer but I wonder if his hands are quick enough. LeBron and AD are way too big. Klay not quite nimble enough. Dray would probably find a way to cheat. idk it's probably Austin Reaves, he just looks like he's good at things like beer pong

Poole might be the worst big minutes guy in these playoffs sheesh what is he doing out there he’s getting worse every game

Currrrrrrrry pass

lotta quick 7-10 point runs in this game

Yup taking turns

amazing play by Curry but come on he was not fouled

This is tense

kinda feels like this is the series here, lotta weird energy out there right now

back and forth between steph and the lakers bench

It is playing a bit like a game 7 isn't it

its the Lonnie Walker Four game

steph got desperate there

Still thought it was going in

Warriors just chucking for no reason like they have all season

that was one of the worst executed hammer plays i’ve ever seen

what on earth

steph didn’t know they had a timeout huh

Warriors man

steph curry, the Warriors man

welp

lonnie <3333

i’m very very happy for lonnie, he’s always seemed like a great kid and i think he has an NBA skillset

i still think the warriors win this series

They don’t play consistent enough to win three games in a row. Not sure they did it even once this season

They’ll probably win Game 5 with ease but idk after that

the end of game execution on their part was shockingly bad. also their rotation is really jacked up if moody is playing crunch time

surfing twitter… knicks fans really do not like julius randle

Randle in a great defensive stance and fighting hard thru a screen to contest a Kevin Love three-pointer.

crazy that most of the regular season the Lakers looked like a bottom 5 team with no clear path to getting any better at the deadline and now are 1 game away from the WCF where they will actually have a decent shot

one of the best trade deadlines ever

that is why i voted for pelinka for executive of the year and no one else even bothered to vote for that award, sad

it really just puts into relief how epically bad the westbrook trade was... the bar for putting a contending team around lebron james + a second star player is so so sooo low. it's literally like, 6 vaguely competent NBA players, three of whom may need to be slightly above average. you really couldn't find an easier task as a GM, in all honesty. and yet the lakers figured out how to put a team around lebron that was so bad they couldn't even make the playoffs. completely crazy stuff

lets all move on, to game 5 :) tonight at 7:30pm on tnt

Malcolm Brogdon said Joe Mazzulla came to the team after game 4 and said he should’ve called timeout and that he messed up. But Brogdon said that they trust Joe and Joe trusts them.

“It’s one mistake and then you move on.”

i give mazzulla credit for saying they should've gotten a 2 for 1 out of that and he screwed up. it's sort of a separate case that doesn't necessarily run counter to his general philosophy about not calling timeouts at the end of games so it's encouraging that he wasn't being a stubborn hard head about it

i'm super super excited for this game tonight

the normal man is here

glad to finally have some normal man representation on tv

This fucking guy is the appropriate sentiment when he is on your team, imo.

lol why is he walking like a kid who picked up a toy at a store and his mom said “no you can’t have that” & now he’s walking back to the cash register at a theatrically slow and sad looking pace

haa

lol perfect description

inauspicious first possession

i would love harden if it wasn’t too fun to root against him. very funny individual

first couple i mean

kd harden and westbrook all becoming different types of weirdos is cool

what a long strange trip it's been huh fellas

teams just trading bombs
