ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

nah he just keeps saying the same thing over and over lol

expert brain at work where he immediately jumped to rule book without really analyzing the play, and now hes stuck defending a dumb position

honestly based on the tony parker example he posted he might be right. but if that’s the case I think the rule is kinda dumb

announcers were so bad, no ability to communicate what an amazing game it was

thats just pedantry imho as i was saying to coach nick if that play happened in a normal situation in full view of the refs its called a double dribble every time, and also it really was a double dribble

did not know this

i would agree that the NBA should look into sync’ing the broadcast clock with the official in-arena one. most people dont know there’s usually a slight difference, and thus we get these “conspiracy” tweets in big adjustment moments like this with millions of views. bad business. https://t.co/xfZq7Rvzfs

Was cool seeing Jimmy nail 3 incredible high pressure FTs but I think that would’ve been a lame way for the Celtics to go out

celtics going to the driving range instead of watching film before winning three elimination games in a row is pretty funny maybe thats the secret

“We completely skipped film,” Grant Williams said.

Instead the Celtics went to Topgolf. It was Al Horford's idea, writes @JaredWeissNBA.

The irony? Horford shanked just about every shot he took in a trip that shifted the energy within the Celtics:https://t.co/VLx0q1kKKg

As for the Jimmy Butler play with 3 seconds to go, the L2M says that Butler didn't double-dribble, with the explanation being: "Butler fumbles the ball out of his control when he ends his dribble, then recovers it and legally attempts a field goal." https://t.co/Ziz1isUtq5

Sometimes there are plays where there is no clearly right interpretation of the rules and that can legit be called either way. It makes perfect sense to me that this was one of them and the L2M evaluation just endorsed the way it went down in real time.

I’m kind of sick of coach nick and the constant rule book analysis

I mean ultimately if I pull half of the post moves he says aren’t walks during a pickup game I’m just gonna get called for a walk. What am I gonna do pull up Twitter and point out that it’s legit

I’ve done it lol

who is calling walks in a pickup game

Plenty of ppl call walks and if everyone agrees they all turn around and walk to to the other side leaving me standing there with twitter

i approve of this court tbh

crazy shit

lol refs finding themselves innocent of missing the obvious double dribble

you'd make such a great ref g∞n! you should apply for the job. pay's pretty good, too, I hear - even though it involves a fair bit of travel. think of all the respect you'll get from coaches, players and fans.

he would be great

might require capital letters and punctuation of him tho; not sure that's feasible

thank you all for your support i look forward to my new life getting yelled at by the worlds greatest athletes

i will also yell at you from the stands and give you the big thumbs down and a "bronx cheer"

lagoon get some glasses!

all i ask is that you put asses in the jackpot

I just watched it again and for the first time I noticed Tatum was crashing the boards from the other side... had it bounced that way he would have put it back

Bad slowdown offense by Boston in the last 3 minutes, not good, but quite a few little putbacks and layups that just happened to roll out. Also Robinson with a couple of absolutely wide open threes that he missed, could have won it

they are extremely devoted to the slow down offense its their favorite

feel like shot clock management is a big remaining moneyball frontier almost every team is bad at it

one thing thats a no brainer is to get the ball into the front court fast and start running offense, yet teams just wander up the court all the time

and at some point it does make sense to start playing slow if youre ahead but i dont think its at the beginning of the fourth quarter (celtics style)

depends how far ahead you are but yeah start of 4th quarter i'd want to be like 15 ahead

i think itd have to be like 25 to start at the beginning of the 4th, verging on garbage time

whats the deal with this injury celtics were calling it a tendon strain but then an anon source said it was a partial tear which sounds much worse he could barely get the ball on the rim but now hes shooting fine at practice

The Boston Celtics are the 1st team in NBA History to play in Game 7s in both the Conference Semifinals & Conference Finals in consecutive seasons. 🤯

The Cs consistently delivering the drama we crave.

Gonna be tough to top game 6. Half court game winning 3 might do it.

ecf will go to 7
