It is the 2018-19 NBA Playoffs discussion thread for hoops friends ONLY

i can't tell if the thunder should be concerned they blew their lead or if blazers should be concerned that dame has scored 34 and they're only up 3

really good game so far

russ still taking early shot clock pull up 30 footers is just unbelievable

weird game for sure. george started off hot then foul trouble. dame on fire the entire half. nobody else seems effective so far.

last two blazer wins they came back from early to take the lead late in the half and then dominated the second half as russ came out way too emotional and made mistake after mistake so idk this is kinda becoming a pattern

russ had to start shooting too much once PG sat but before that he was playing a good game

feels weird to say but if portland hadn't lucked into kanter late in the season they'd be absolutely boned

Kanter is really great at two things and if you can’t make him pay on the defensive end then he’s a positive player

The Loves logo on these unis is an absolute travesty btw

i mean without kanter out there it's 48 minutes of meyers and collins getting their faces smashed in by khal drogo

Wow Lillard I mean you just love to see it

russ is noticeably playing anti-elimination game russ tonight and it’s absolutely keeping OKC in the game

russ has been good yeah after a very weird series for him

i think the blazers are the better team and will win the series but blowing this game would not be fun for them

fragile team psychology for sure

put dame in

ok turns out it was the blazers

Westbrook in crunch time here we go

paul george really needs to not foul out of this game...

That Russ 3 was massive

his form was perfect too

russ and PG both showed up but huge mins tonight from grant, schroeder and even ferguson tonight

shroeder hit a couple soul-killers middway through the 4th

best game of the offs so far i think

the see-saw runs in this game have been nuts. this entire series has been great

oh my god

oh....... my god

omfg

boly sbit

dame singlehandedly won that game

yeah both those last two plays were nuts

speechlessssssssss

Ohhhhhmmmmmyyyyyyyy

w a terrible russ miss between

hope my friends who had tix tonight had the damn time of their lives

DDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEEEE¡!!!

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

Russ was bad of course who coulda guessed

That pg turnover tho. And the calm cool of CJ too he was clutccccch

dame's in the HOF just for his two walk off insane threes

the 2 for 1 lay up was completely nuts

Lol, Nurk dropping f-bombs in post-game interview

35ft buzzer beater to ice the series nbd

i'm shaking this dude is not real

the irony of mchale coaching the .9 shot in 2014 and announcing for this one

put dame_waves_goodbye.gif on my tombstone

What a hero

His casual glance at the camera after being tackled to the ground by his teammates was total

I consulted the internet a few moments ago and upon doing so I discovered that Mr. Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers made a 37 foot shot with 0.4 seconds to win game 5 of their first round series, thus providing the fourth win required to advance to the next round. Bravo, Mr. Lillard! Bravo! I believe I shall seek out a video recording of this feat of skill and daring so I may enjoy it.

Russ w that classic 11/31
