THE 2017 NBA 'OFFS™

only celtics/wizards is good, all other series are bad

celtics/wizards is pure ball joy

i can def see celts/wiz getting pretty ugly tho lol

its already ugly but in a good "facing hitting the floor" way

lebron is the second highest scoring playoff dude ever congrats to lebron james

dece player imo

lol, kyrie really into passing up open layups to feed lebron.

gotta feed the big guy

Demar is bad this series is bad

raptors are the definiton of a regular season team

once again everyone in the world has put their faith in the raptors and once again they have let us down

ah yes that's a thing i did

They made good deadline moves!!!!

Still just hard to believe you can have two all stars take turns scoring like 3 pts in playoff games

not sure i totally believe it, but based on 1st Q of the spurs - rox, looks a lot like a rox sweep. lma got nothing, ryan anderson hitting everything, nene rockin' out, just doesn't look like spurs have the answers. sad face for spurs.

the health the rox have had w this roster of injury prone guys is p nuts

Aldridge looks pretty injured huh

somethin

some guys get past their peak and just absolutely crash

he looks out of shape to me, has for the last 2 years but more this season

Enjoying some of the no-calls on guys taking angles away from the hoop

last year was the best season of LMA's career, no? clay otm prob, LMA probably wasn't destined to age great as a below the rim guy

liking danny green taking advantage of harden's lax defense tonight

Pretty sure he was better w PDX but not sure about advanced #s on him

last year was the best season of LMA's career, no? clay otm prob, LMA probably wasn't destined to age great as a below the rim guy

Also don't below the rim types age better usually? Less reliance on athletic ability

Aldridge will always be able to stick 18 footers but everything else is gonna suffer if he turns into an old man here

yeah maybe thats true. maybe he is hurt

he does look like hes not moving right out there

nope; he front-rimmed a bunny in a way that was not normal

harden being fouled shooting a three 17 times in like 6 games seems like a problem for the league

if you're going to foul a three point shooter, go flagrant two or go home.

there was a video of coach nick talking w ronnie nunn (ex ref) where nunn rightly points out that with a lot of these harden really starts his shooting motion after hes fouled, not sure why theyre being called the way they are, also ive notice the rip through move being called a shooting foul some even tho the league explicitly said its not

kevin pelton said the league shd completely change the way it defines a foul basing it on who initiated the contact rather than who has a right to the space, which is interesting but obvs wld take a lot of thinking through/is a huge change

lol harden is a mad scientist coming up with this stuff its pretty impressive

yeah me too, i think it must have something to do with the angle they rip their arm through. like if you go obviously from side to side and swing the ball down low it's def a rip thru but it seems guys are bringing it up at an upward angle now to argue they were going into shooting motion xp

aw 6 years ago ginobili jams that

ive never seen kawhi so animated than he was on the bench cheering that juice simmons jam

there was a play in last nights game where wall was so afraid of isaiah pulling that pull up for a three when the defenders trailing through a screen to draw a foul move that it looked like he bounced off an invisible wall trying to avoid it but then isaiah didnt even do it and just kept dribbling for an easy layup lol

seems to me that continuation has become the default call and non-shooting has become the exception call and that this was true before things like the rip through and the screen-three pointer foul came into vogue.

these seem to be called fairly consistently which is fine but i hope the league changes things up this summer b/c we're going a little too far with this stuff.

Aw man not Parker.

kawhi>>>>>>>harden

well, i completely overestimated the rox. so, looks like it will be 20+ wins for each team. who's got the more sustainable advantages? is kawhi enough of an advantage on his own to tilt it to the spurs? i still go with the rox though it clearly won't be as easy as it looked earlier.
