ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

man he kinda barely got it over the rim

he dunked earlier this series iirc

makes more sense

Well there you go — sounds like he put his all-nba team on his mvp ballot by mistake https://t.co/4iSRY64lc6

you're confusing him with me i dunked in game 2 xp

Tatum's 1Q struggles this series is so freaking weird.

are

Sixers down by 7 at the half while shooting 26% from 3 and with Boston shooting 47% from 3. I'll take it.

need big minutes from marcus and rob in the second half those are our guys

ah dammit

Notable news: Andrew Wiggins is listed as questionable for Game 6 with a left costal cartilage fracture. That's an area of the ribcage.

cartilage fracture, odd

"an area of the ribcage" is some medical shams lol

ah nice four point swing on a wet spot

Sixers D has been pretty good this half.

theyre ripping the celtics on every play my god

tatum really not covering himself in glory during this elimination game

rob being +16 in 3 quarters of a tie game is wild

celtics playing downright awful when hes not out there

Re Wiggins, so much for the glimmer of hope provided by the psychic corgi.

This feels like it's going down to the wire.

If sixers could just hit a few corner threes

If you told me they would be leading while shooting 27% from 3, I wouldn't believe you.

jayson tatum, hello

philly mopin

doin the philly mope

lol harden floppin instead of just taking the shot

it's a tough one. they battled back. they'll get another shot

tatum really turned it around

gimme game 7 baby

no idea how the celtics did that

me neither god bless em go celtics baby game 7 on deck

wow jayons voice quivering in this interview

perplexing team to the end

def an enigma

marcus smart had an absolutely beautiful game btw s/o to marcus

His ability to get himself a bucket has been an extremely gratifying addition these past couple years

yeah after much experimentation he finally found his spots

mazzulla is such a freak man gotta respect it

Joe Mazzulla says Jayson Tatum’s communication, defense and ferocity kept him going all game.

Joe’s message to JT during the fourth:
“I love you. That’s it.”

al was shook did not want to shoot gotta get it together

Al Horford sweaty as hell going through a hard postgame workout. Music blasting in the Wells Fargo Center.

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) May 12, 2023

having biyombo as a key rotation player is pretty tough

its not great

mazzulla is either like getting fired next year or is going to be the next spoelstra, jury's out

jokic is playing with his food in the first quarter

44 points in a quarter, that's a lot

did not know that

The NBA has a rule about the ball going behind the backboard:
Any ball that rebounds or passes directly behind the backboard, in any direction, or enters the cylinder from below is considered out-of-bounds.
Now, we have to argue the definition of “directly” pic.twitter.com/lcOJ6hjI1i

Ah, well, nevertheless.

that rule is worded so weird, it seems like the ball touching a player or a physical object should be the determinant for out of bounds

didnt look like that one went behind it maybe a tiny bit at the end idk, passing over the stanchion does seems kind of weird tho

obvs its not just being generally in back of the line of the basket is out cause then whole baseline area would be out

it does seem weird but that's probably just cause there's no reason to do it usually.

well this is going well
