ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

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

it’s hard enough to stop booker without this whistle

hate to terrify the Nugs fans here but Russell Wilson is in the building

lol let’s ride

this whistle…

14-12 FTA margin for the suns…

the suns never really shoot free throws tho. i’ve thought some of the whistles the nugs were mad about were annoying but rightly called

KD having to play all game might be a problem

murray was trying to get that tech for 3 straight possessions

murray stank face lol

jokic has some of the silliest and-1s

if you’ve watched a lot of nuggets this year the inability for anyone other than murray to enter the ball to jokic has been an ongoing storyline…so that tough 25 foot entry from KCP of all people was fuckin sweet

that was some Magic Johnson shit

watching some rich motherfucker clean up her own mess courtside is one of life’s small pleasures

4 on KD oh no

denver’s defense is on a string right now. let’s go

CP3 watching that 3 cut the lead to 17 and thinking "damn could be me out there"

grant hill “I’ve been watching KD 15 years, I’ve never seen him trip over his own ankles before”

KD rather famously was recently out with an injury after having done just this

god i was actually kinda happy about getting in bed early but then booker & KD had to hit two impossible contested fadeaway end of clock jumpers
