ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

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

they can hope for embiid to get tired

welp they managed to stay attached was a pretty dicey sitch

cute

Nikola Jokic just gave Mat Ishbia the ball after his pregame workout. The two chuckled. All seems to be fine.

a couple of my coworkers visiting from ireland bought tickets to the game tonight, met up w/them today and they were like cad how long will the game be, is it 3 20-minute periods or 4 15-minute quarters, meanwhile i'm not even turning it on because by the time i was ready and checked the score the celtics were obviously playing like ass.

Philly getting really careless good thing they’re up so much

12 points is nothing

not much niang this game

That's the idea.

well now we’re in the territory where this would be a back breaking loss for philly. so should be a fun ending

Philly in foul trouble too

Lmao Tucker just chilling

feels like that was embiid's 15th wide open uncontested mid range jumper of the game

Philly isn't winning the series without this game anyway, so they should just win it.

Good lord every single shot for Philly is rolling in

Well here’s Embiids MVP game

man that was a sick block

Sixers shooting well, but not some sort of insane percentage (at least from 3). Boston shooting poorly. Sixers pretty workmanlike here, imo.

apocalyptic performance from boston

the sixers shot well yeah but when practically every shot you take is uncontested that can happen

Of the 51 teams that have lost Game 5 at home in a 2-2 series, 26 of them (50.9%) actually won Game 6 on the road! Then, 19 of those 26 went on to win Game 7 at home. So historically, C's still with a 37% chance of winning the series. Did it vs MIL last year.

Second straight season that Celtics go down 3-2 in the semifinals

Doc Rivers will have a chance to break 7-game losing streak with a chance to clinch conference finals berth

the playoffs is not fun the playoffs is an evil form

I am just mystified by these playoffs overall, I have no sense for what's going to happen

doc calling the playoffs “emotional terrorism” was so real

Doc Rivers will have a chance to break 7-game losing streak with a chance to clinch conference finals berth

this seems impossible but thinking back on his teams...

the playoffs is not fun the playoffs is an evil form

otm

otoh i have no teams in the playoffs so it's awesome for me (except for the lakers)

really good start from denver. change of scenery needed

choosing to not get upset about that booker pushoff

the Booker/KD thing Pheonix has going on with CP3 out reminds me a bit of Kyrie/Luka, and how that could look insane one game and completely unworkable the next

interesting whistle tonight on both sides

man I just love MPJ so much

Booker 4/4 and the Suns are down 11, not where you wanna be

PJ Tucker is such a tough guy I wonder how he feels about Boston just not guarding him at all. I bet it really does hurt him

he shoots 3 times per game so i think he knows what the deal is

now, dillon brooks? sure

doc calling the playoffs “emotional terrorism” was so real

as I see it having to win a seven game series at each level of the playoffs optimizes the chances that the better team will almost always advance. so, doc, deal with it. every other team has to run the same gantlet.

yeah but his reputation is that he makes the corner 3. but in game he's just standing there in that "Dad forgot to pick me up" pose
