THE 2017 NBA 'OFFS™

Jvg and jax spending more time talking about the rules zzzzzzzzzzzzz

not much to talk about in the game, this shit is over

this series has been ruled invalid by m'self

the current shooting guard landscape is a desolate wasteland but i feel like beal and middleton are at least as good as klay

ok i don't want to sound overly butthurt, but at one point in the last year or so i said beal would be as good as klay and you vehemently disagreed

*vehemently is prob a lil strong here

uh because beal had a much better year this year than last and klay stagnated?

exactly what i was predicting

beal has been v good but theres still something abt his game that im not sold on..... cant put my finger on it he doesnt seem totally in the game like hes doin his moves which are v good but it feels like hes on another planet or something its all kinda rote

beal is good altho i havent watched quite enough of his defense to make a call on that side.

yeah i still think he's streaky

but maybe klay is too

iggy mccaw was nice

beal has a very unsexy game but it feels like he puts up 35 every night

i was impressed by his ability to go to the basket also in game 7, he wasn't just making shots off of screens

the one thing is that he feels a bit underwhelming to me as a primary ballhandler/scorer when wall is on the bench. i think in the regular season they can prob get away w/ it but now that they have realistic conference final aspirations i think they could really use a lou williams/jamal crawford type guard for when wall sits.

Go Celtics!

Tristan gonna grab 350 offensive boards this series

i for one am shocked at the score after one quarter

as everyone predicted, jaylen brown is the only celtic with a pulse

the celtics are in some kind of finding themselves/experimental phase when it comes to deciding who guards lebron

alley oops to tristan <3

good time to take a big sip of beer and turn the game on

lol why is bron diving for balls

welp that was a good game while it lasted

The Celtics are shooting below 50% [4/11] from the line tonight and 1/15 from three. The water has sunk into the earth.

cool conference

hmm lets check in on the other conference

I knew this was coming but that doesn't make it any easier to walk into the human buzzsaw that is rested playoff lebron

Hey a franchise record! For playoff halftime deficit

yeah the west is getting to be as bad as the east

at least theres a good team on each side, just too bad the dubs had to go and add kd

since we have nothing better to do i'm calling it now--the east has a great chance to become the better conference in a few years

hm, idk. what teams are ascendant?

seems like west has minny and denver bubbling under, plus the warriors and spurs will still be good. east post LBJ prime will have the celtics and....

bucks maybe

maybe even philly if embiid can stay healthy

milwaukee, phil, boston. another random one will emerge.

meanwhile the clippers, okc, grizz and one of the rockets/spurs fall off

lakers might even be good in 3 years

this would be a fun poll thread tho

do it!

bucks are better than min and den already and will continue to be better if giannis plays at this level

the ascendant Chicago Bulls will reclaim their throne as the best NBA team in the (state due) east (of iowa)

Boston kind of reminds me of Thibodeau's better Bulls teams in that they are really good at beating teams during the regular season when clubs play at like 82% most of the time and they play defense hard all the time, but in the playoffs their lack of real scorers gets exposed.

also, Lebron is so fucking good

they made it to the conference finals lol xp

Lebro is so ridiculously comfortable right now. Just dancing around out there. That one play where Kelly o got matched up against him and he just stops and dribbles back to him turns around sizes him up and blows by.

lebro is in a very good place no question

Ty Lue wasn't lying I guess.

its like a video game to him, just unreal
