gary f'n trent cannot miss

he has some very real sam cassell big balls dance energy

big quarter for liberation

if this celtics iteration was a different team besides boston they'd be everyone's leaguepass darlings

i guess they couldn't be the lakers either

wtf there's no foul there

messed up the backcourt violation call too

ya

Absolutely insane officiating, almost every game

bubble life has driven the refs nutty

people were worried about the players being rusty when they should have worried about the refs

my least fave thing about the celtics is definitely hayward's kinfolf cover model lifestyle thing i just ... i get enough of that just driving around here u know

good game!!

obviously tatum scored a lot but 8 assists is really encouraging for him and he also guarded dame in crunch time.

blazers going for 2 down 3 with 4 seconds left and no timeouts was an interesting decision

"an interesting strategy there" indeed

Markelle Fultz just hit a 70 footer

NBA teams took 124 shots this season when down by exactly 3 points with less than 20 seconds left in the 4Q or OT.

Every single team that took a 2 instead of a 3 in that situation lost the game: 0-31.

Teams that took a 3 went 10-73.

you can't say though that is not an interesting strategy

its interesting, in some ways more interesting than trying to win

when keith van horn is right keith van horn is right

I wish America would just go to the euro club model for all sports and we could just be done with the NCAA. The NCAA’s foundation is so flawed that it’s just never going to be right, ever.

well, yes, ofc. but an entrenched system that generates many billions of dollars of revenue and has a huge, highly loyal fan base is not going away just because there is a more rational alternative to it.

Jonathan Isaac planted on his left leg going into the lane, and immediately began grabbing for his left knee, going down to the ground in a ton of pain. He's only just now being put into a wheelchair after probably being on the ground for two minutes or more.

wow god is NOT good all the time?

lol ouch

sucks for issac, just got back from a pretty bad knee injury.

I guess he’s just one of those guys

so as i was saying....

the bucks have ~3 weeks to figure out how to score when the butts tighten

bud ran a really nice play for giannis out of a time out to get him the ball at the top of the key w/ a wide open lane, but pretty much every other possession in the final 90 seconds was a catastrophe

couple of rough offensive possessions down the stretch. i don't think middleton is a pull the fire alarm type of shooter.

I have a hard time believing in a title for a team that starts DiVincenzo at guard.

they'll get eric bledsoe back but that presents its own set of issues

suns mavs is good. ayton and bridges both bad games but they are still in it.

just a MASSIVE w for the suns. huge comeback by the bench.

Yeah Middleton cannot run and gun 3s like that

That game def felt like a preview of how they could lose a playoff series

that's m/l how they lost last year iirc?

acl tear for isaac

damn, kinda feelin bad for jokes

You're forgiven my (bi)son

I love my not dead bison

it never turns out well when a guy jumps and then immediately falls out of midair in a heap

.@satou_sabally tells @sportsiren the Wings are playing for Sandra Bland today.

has anyone seen an nba player do anything like this?

seems like the layoff did a zinger good

He was putting it together before the quarantine, I think he’s just really good now

porzingus now gets to play w/ doncic and under carlisle instead of whatever mess the knicks cooked up. lucky man.

Isaac is a complicated situation now because it looked like he was a future all star but he’s officially injury prone now

He’s up for an extension but do you even bother negotiating that?
