wow thanks for letting the kings back in the game i thought you guys were no mercy world beaters

theres thing that been going on for a while where they try to play zone and are very bad at it, they even just asked pritchard about it going into halftime and he was like yeah were trying to work on different things so we have them for the playoffs, the celtics are treating games like practices now, i dont think theyre going to get the zone down tho theyve had a lot of time

knicks are getting scotf fostered

Happens to the best of us

celtics pull their starters up 14 with 9mins left and win by 1 all according to plan

kings were blitzing pritchard lmao

Suns being helped by the fact the Wolves forgot how to play basketball

they need to relearn basketball step by step first score one point

take them aside and tell them what a pivot foot is

personally I think it is ok if the wolves lose this one, they’ve already won so many

giannis did not play but an otherwise intact bucks team w/ lillard, middleton, lopez, crowder, beasley, portis etc just lost to a raptors team that was on a 15 game losing streak

congrats to the toronto raptors

bucks have hit rock bottom

so you're saying it's all uphill from here

clear skies baby

they’re good starting now

having watched them play a lot recently it feels conceivable to me that the knicks could slip into the play in

why do they play the bulls three out of their final six games

i do feel a little sad about the knicks falling apart. they were the toast of the nba before the injuries hit, everyone effusively praising their roster building. eastern conference is more fun when knicks fans are excited

agreed

hopefully just giving him time before the offs but you never know with kawhi

Kawhi Leonard will miss a fourth straight game due to right knee inflammation, per Clippers.

not great hope hes ok nba is better with kawhi

hes the engine of the clippers. they look lost without him

scal said scoot looks like a football player playing basketball, brutal

yikes

one of the worst insults for a hooper lol

what is the bucks “plan” btw

unclear

legler said the bucks remind him of the kyrie celtics, the vibe is off the talent isnt clicking, which yeah i can see it, fact that both traded for a star that didnt especially want to be there is prob relevant

Middleton listed out with “mouth trauma” not sure I’ve seen that before

I don't want any trauma in my mouth

capn crunch still hitting the same

maxey 52 points in 54 mins

a 2ot game where the spurs were in the driver's seat to win in regulation and shit the bed (i blame malaki branham who is the anti-clutch)

as you guys know I’m a big lakers fan. big game for us tonight!

bron out with flu like symptoms

lakers have been dece recently tho

they've won 9 of their last 10! half game out of 6th!

steve smith just said that ant edwards used play in his retired nba pickup game in atlants feat dale davis travis best some other guys when he was a teenager lmao that rules

they've won 9 of their last 10! half game out of 6th!

I trust this medical professional

wednesdays this fall on abc, Dr. Lad

lmao

they were talking during the game that kat might get the last game of the reg season in which is way better than the previous prediction of some point early in the playoffs

im starting to believe in the wolves i need to stop

they didnt miss a beat when kat went down, according to unimpeachable sources (dr lad md) kats coming back, theyve been good all year which is really the part that gets me they havent had a major downswing, i know this is just an obvious conclusion that the team thats been one of the best all year might be good but im not the only doubter, their lack of offense and then kat and ants questionable decision making compounding that idk, rudys playoff history, but they are a good team theyve got a something going, an identity as they say

its not just a one man rudy d like in utah theyve got good to great defenders and size all over so the traditional anti rudy strategy of going small and moving him around a bunch might not work as well, theyre second in 3pt% but only 19th in rate maybe they could take some more threes, they could go super physical on d and maybe get away with it because of playoff officiating, idk im still having trouble getting past their offense but maybe they could beat the nuggets it would be ok
