Tough to believe there have been 32 playoff campaigns worse than the one Jason Kidd has put together these playoffs. Jason Collins three entries in Top 40 :/

okc wouldve won w westbrook imho, but i do think memphis has a better shot against miami via matchups, also their offense is prob a lil better than they played this season as rudy gay was fn shit up when he was there and then they had to adjust to him being gone, tho obvs youre only gonna be so good starting prince and allen

Jackson even talked about how the sexual-assault charges levied against Bryant in 2003 temporarily changed his outlook on the perennial All-Star.

It "cracked open an old wound" because Jackson's daughter was the victim of an assault while on a date with an athlete in college.

"Brooke expected me to get angry and make her feel protected. Instead I suppressed my rage — as I'd been conditioned to do during childhood by my parents … it left her feeling alone and unsupported. (In the end, after filing a report with the police, Brooke chose not to press charges.)

"The Kobe incident triggered all my unprocessed anger and tainted my perception of him. ... It distorted my view of Kobe throughout the 2003-04 season. No matter what I did to extinguish it, the anger kept smoldering in the background."

of course these stats are v result-oriented and its a small sample ... http://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/NBA_2013.html#misc::none

i can't blame Kidd too much, he's so old

dang that's dark xp

Get the feeling that no ILHers have read The Last Season, which is a totally worthwhile read.

ha

damn

Thank god Linguo is dead and never had to parse that tweet.

lmao jr vulture food

Heh, another lol Kidd missed transition layup.

#InjureSamYoung

espn.com scoreboard has a new blueish highlight, throwing me off

Copeland puttin in work

I think most of ilh is skipping this game

Really just want the Knicks to lose so we can stop hearing about them

Kidd scoreless streak is astonishing tho

Why was copeland buried for half this series and a chunk of the first round? He seems decent

woodson buried all his good players, cf prigioni

because what would the knicks want w a big man who can draw indys defense out to the three point line

KNICKS

i'm glad they are winning. i think they can still win the series. they are a better team than indiana it's just a bad match up.

they re actually not a better team than indian fwiw

i mean they both suck in their own ways so who cares but indy is better

Conrad Brunner ‏@1070Bruno 3m
"We're down 6? As bad as we've played? How tight do you think they're gonna get if we cut it to four?" Vogel during timeout.

Lol that Sam Young flop should be a gif in about 2 minutes, as bad as the boozer bosh sniper flop

i am looking forward to the treeship era on ILH

who?

the dude who posted about the knicks!

my post was also a callback to a post jordan made after i branched out to ilnfl like 5 years ago

i think ILH could use a knicks fan to beat around a little bit

hah i see now

Lee giving the Dubs good minutes is so good to see.

Still cant believe he is playing at all

Zach Lowe ‏@ZachLowe_NBA 55m
There's another quarter? Of this? So, how's "The Office" finale?

The game's over, right?

Somewhere in that sequence, I typed the following in my notes: "I have no idea what is going on."

I just blacked out for the last 30 seconds of the game.

sums up this series

i'm glad they are winning. i think they can still win the series. they are a better team than indiana it's just a bad match up.

yo fyi "a bad matchup" is code for "the other team is better"

also the knicks suck, fuck the knicks

The Spurs defensive gameplan is to let Barnes do whatever he wants one on one and make sure Curry and Thompson never get free and its working

Beidrins is playing awesome

barnes down :(

Has to be concussion jeez looked bad

blood on the floor, hopefully he's ok

Damn

He looks dazed

Barnes 6 stitches and back at it!

curry is really compensating with these floaters

xp that's awesome but i hope dude got concussion checked
