ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

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

not sure going under on maxey is the way to do it

someone wake up the celtics

sixers are playing with a lot of confidence

What is this shit?

expert flop on smart’s part he actually got me in real time

flopping works. you get calls and get the other team riled up enough to get techs.

This is the shit that makes it so hard to root for Boston, they just flop so much and it works

remember when everyone used to laugh at smarts ridiculous flopping, did he listen to the haters, no he put his head down and worked on his craft

This is the shit that makes it so hard to root for Boston, they just flop so much and it works

cant imagine you like either of these teams then lol

in all seriousness the celtics dont flop that much an occasional smart masterpiece aside

celtics cannot hit a shot

its really just smart.

yeah i think boston actually has a team of upstanding individuals aside from marcus

I don’t but I feel like Boston is the most talented team and doesn’t have to do it

i can’t locate a single thing boston has done in this half to make the sixers even slightly uncomfortable

celtics should just do dunks just get a dunk every time

make or miss league and horf/tatum are 0/10 from three 2/15 total

they listened to you

many fouls this game

some might call it a foul game

i’d still suggest boston figure out ways to not let philly score 60 points in the second half. sixers are shooting pretty well but not some insane unsustainable rate
