crazy that on the eve of the last day of the season the only thing we know is the eastern conference 2 vs 7 matchup.

Pretty cool

evidence of 77 entering the collective subconscious

The D League allowing teams to pick who they face in the playoffs, is that an experiment to see if they could use it in the NBA or just a D league 'fun' thing? I like the idea of the team the Warriors/Hawks choose to face feeling extra slighted. Like especially if the Warriors were to pick the Rockets or something crazy.

hmm. if playoff teams are sometimes doing things like resting starters or going half-assed to move their seeding down and get more favorable matchups anyway, why not allow top seeds this privilege in the first place?

obviously this wouldn't be quite the same thing & teams with lower playoff berths would prob still do the late-season shrug from time to time, but if you dominate as thoroughly as the dubs have why not have the preordained right to potentially breeze through the first round? maybe it shouldn't just be for 1-seeds tho, maybe only if you are #1 and also won like over 60 games. so last year's indy would be exempt (and rightfully so imo the wheels so clearly fell off that cart, or rather poor hibbert meekly, depressively pulled them off the cart with tears in his eyes)

btw i had never seen this video of lebron shitting his pants upon seeing kawhi enter the game. in the 2013 finals!

ha yeah thats good stuff

hes all fuck that guy naw its alright you got this bron every challenge is an opportunity in disguise

i hadnt considered the possibility of the bron v spurs finals series continuing into its third year until just now

dying @ that spurs video, "smile proliferation"

Kawhi must be just a straight up nightmare to play against

Heh i was just scrolling down to write smile proliferation

Kawhi ripped Steph twice in on game. He's the DPOY for sure

i think hibachi or cad once asked me what i thought about mcmillan in the first year portland was doing pretty good with roy & aldridge and i'd had a couple beers and wrote like a 6,000 word post about how severely i disagree w/ like every basketball decision mcmillan had ever made

I 100% remember this it was an eloquent essay that booted me directly and permanently off the McMillan bandwagon and he was vaporized as a head coach not long after, maybe the most otm thing ever on ilh

In fact if I were Kawhi I would change my nickname to "Home DPOY" because as a nickname it would be 1) so not baller and therefore 2) appropriate for a Spurs player

no that wld go against everything he is

This dude had a cup of coffee with the Celtics long ago and has been out of the league for two full years! Doc's bench spots 7-15 are just a goddamn superfund site, he should literally just bring a bag of garbage to the game dump it next to Crawford and light it on fire

the burning garbage has a high true shooting percentage iirc

new wiz logo

That spire is gonna penetrate the ball

i kinda like it obvs an improvement over that old weird wizard but anything wouldve been, they wouldve been wise to leave gray out of the equation tho kinda an obvs hack to get more detail/definition in there when really they shouldve just kept working at it

that style of font is so trending right now def gonna look back on it as a teens thing

i mean like then rotate the basketball or something idk

also obvs

yeah and those were just blatant take-your-cookies strips, you just don't see guys like cp3 or steph give up the ball like that. he's special

logo is alright, goon otm about grey. washington monument thing is kinda cool but also kinda shoehorned in

yeah they def got attached to the monument idea even tho it didnt work which lead to the gray which lead to having a gray star in the middle of their logo lol

some of the letter spacing is awful too. needed to give them all a little more room to breathe imo. the A to S is bad.

Not a big deal really cos they have cool jerseys

If you guys don't like the Warriors' font then you should hate that Wiz one. Those ugly serifs!

its bad but the warriors one is just generic bad (which makes it worse imo). copperplate is just one of those typefaces that is a complete no-no to even consider. wiz one is more of a trendy product of its time

otm

the wizards is just better aesthetically too imo

not liek its great tho or anything i wonder what the deal with the serifs on the h and i going diff direction is its odd

the A to S transition in that wizards logo is really awkward, spottie otm

hard too kern that arc text

I also can't believe how suggestive that logo is, like how does that get through a committee

yeah it is but you just gotta do it! xp

ihua xps

not liek its great tho or anything i wonder what the deal with the serifs on the h and i going diff direction is its odd

It represents politicians changing their positions to whichever way the wind is blowing .

lol they prob liked that aspect

i can imagine randy wittman letting out some serious beavis & butthead laughs looking at that

hahaa

I know it crumbles under closer inspection but... I kinda like that bonetown wizards logo

Shoulda had a tiny basketball spinning on top of the monument instead tho
