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

been kinda charming to watch mchale progress over the season from being very frustrated with a young group of players to being really proud of them. i dont think he initially had any interest in coaching such a young team, but i imagine when they start to, you know, learn things, it must be really satisfying as a coach.

KG remarks from last night reminded me of this from his wolves days

OKC season: 1.12 points per possession (1st in the league). Concedes 1.02 (4th best).

Series:

Game 1: 1.18 PPP, 0.89 conceded.
Game 2: 1.09 PPP, 1.06 conceded.
(no Westbrook from then till now)
Game 3: 1.08 PPP, 1.04 conceded.
Game 4: 1.11 PPP, 1.13 conceded.
Game 5: 1.08 PPP, 1.16 conceded.

Offense looks OK. Defense not really ok.

Ya but rockets are a bad defensive team so okc should be scoring above their season average

i believe that the statistics show that when asik is on the floor and it's half-court then they're actually pretty good. granted they are abysmal in transition.

Gosh, fellas! Did you all see that the Pacers are up 3-2 on the Hawks?! Well, didja?

Thanks for the update! Now that's enough Pacers & Hawks talk.

pacers hawks? *max eyeroll*

At least the bucks did the honorable thing and got swept.

Indianapolitans agog with mildly pleasant feelings about this series. Atlantans are feeling slightly perturbed.

RIP Kahn, enjoy your manna in heaven

which is better, the fine, or karl being a boss:

"I'm going to go on the record — this is one of the softest playoff series I've ever played in," Karl said from the team's shootaround at the gym at the team's hotel.

haha everyone tom

OTM*

for real tho, mark jackson really doesnt have enough chips stacked up yet to be saying shit like that

lol i didnt see microlala snap til my second look

The way he said it too was so typically disingenuous, what a bullshit individual

did we talk abt how he's a preacher and all the players go to his church

microlala?

Did you guys (or I) discuss Mark Jackson's wife singing the anthem before game 4? It was interminable, and her outfit!

i discussed it, she was really awful like her awful husband

did we talk abt how he's a preacher and all the players go to his church

microlala just referred to the fact that on my screen her text and partial pic were really tiny, i didn't see her comment.

Oh I see now.

Shaq's impression of David Aldridge's headshot is the first genuine lol he has given me

Jackson being a preacher is sort of fine by me but the fact that his wife is involved makes him cheating on her even weirder!

Ooh boozer threw a nasty shoulder right into Wallace's grill

Can someone make the "Carlos boozer screaming" tumblr because I'm too lazy

I asume Deron and Boozer have the most wonderful hair and beard conversations.
