#focus#mustwin#playoffs#drama? : 2013 NBA playoffs

stan van would be good... it's hard for me to get a read on how people view the clippers now. like the roster is good but is the franchise seen as stable now? has the sterling stink kinda been washed away, if only temporarily? do they even have a gm?

for real cp3 is apparently effective gm, which mostly seems fine

sterling is still a vile human being but he seems to have realized he's going to have to spend money on actual contracts if he wants this team to win anything before he dies, so basically he's just a rich racist who can hand out a max contract, which means he's only like 20% worse than your average nba owner

eh the racist thing makes him at least 95% worse imho

I'm listening to Jason Collins on the B.S. Report. He kind of has a Buffalo Bill voice?

lol i'm just getting this now.

seems like a great guy.

"The screen on Curry by the foul line is a shot at his ankle, clearly,” he said. “That can’t be debated. I’ve got inside information that some people don’t like that brand of basketball and they clearly didn’t co-sign it, so they wanted to let me know they had no parts in what was taking place. Let the best team win. With the exception of someone going down with a freak injury, let everyone leave out of here healthy. That’s not good basketball."

smh Jackson doubling down on this nonsense

if i wasn't in a public workspace i think i would watch turiaf get bodied for....a number of minutes.

turiaf looks spooked in that gif, like he thinks somebody put a hex on the ball

was she a great big fat girl

person*

He puts the basketball in the basket or he gets the hose again

if faried is really trying to jam steph's ankles he should probably not wear the bright orange shoes, making the internet detectives' jobs a little harder

reminder that Jackson told the players to go out and club the Rockets to stop them from breaking the 3 pointers in a game record

That article OTM about him playing it way up as to swing the refs in the dubs favor.

yeah seems like standard playoff psych warfare stuff

and he does have a star with ankles ready to shatter into a zillion pieces so he probably should try anything he can to protect him

sb piece was fair enough. the trip was shitty, but the rest looked like hard playoff hoops.

ppl out here are all "jackson is shook" and well, NOT FUCKING LIKELY. dude is ice afaict.

who's the next clippers coach?

CP+SVG would be so awesome. CP hasn't played for a decent coach since like Byron Scott 5+ years ago; SVG hasn't coached a non-knucklehead star player since young Wade.

knicks pulling out the "wear all black to the game to signal your opponent's funeral" ploy is pretty great

stephen a smith: "read jackie macmullin's column in today's, you know, *mumbles* boston paper"

lol I couldn't tell you the main Boston pper eithet

hand down man down has a ways to go before becoming a zen master

Boston Globe, son.

I just call it the 'obe

plz plz plz beat the knicks

this is just a post to remind myself that the pacers and the hawks played a series in 2013

jr is having a hell of a night

this terrence williams handling the ball thing is completely terrifying

also paul pierce might die

nobody really needs to see another game of this series, damn

the garden for game 6 will be some legitimately insane shit

JEFF

and the good version of jeff green has entered the building

Jeff Green earning that contract.

"now it's knicks fans that might need heart surgery!" -- doug gottlieb

hahaha

celtics not running anything that remotely resembles nba offense

OLD MAN KG!

lol knicks concede

lolllll knicks

god where is that photo of KG putting his hand in front of his face while staring bug eyed at some random teammate

i know which one you're talking about, it's either in the offseason or first rolling season thread

game 4 suspension was bullshit
*sulks back into cave*
