( ( ( ( ( nba bubble ball 2020 ) ) ) ) )

i very much enjoyed not just the quality of the celtics play but also their style, good smart scrappy team ball

also tonight i learned marcus smart leads the entire nba in pull up 3 percentage at 42 which is frankly shocking

surely for this season only

i also saw that stat and it blew me away, i would have had no idea

i for one encourage marcus smart to keep shooting as many pull up threes as he can possibly take

same, hoisting is key

I feel like the Celtics' only real shot to make the Finals would've been if Toronto had somehow ended up the 4 seed. I think Toronto can beat the Bucks (probably would still pick Milwaukee in that scenario though) yet I just can't see Boston beating Milwaukee given their egregious lack of size. However, even before last night I would've given the C's a slight edge over the Raps in a series.

the bucks will fall to the orlandos magic due to their 7 game home court advantage

The craziest thing about the bubble to me, and it took me a sec to really get a handle on it, is this is really a new season and a lot of guys made an off-season leap. Like is this just who Thomas Bryant is now? Seems like it

yeah was thinking the same young guys had an opportunity to process and work on stuff

rob williams has looked really good the last couple games for the celtics if he can take kanters minutes/give them some legit size it cld make a difference

Gary Trent Jr looks like a 13 year nba player. Legit on defense

Another game with absolutely dire officiating

what was anfernee simons supposed to be good at

having potential

having a name thats similar to a more common name

Clippers can’t seem to get out of their own way in throwing this game

no one told rodney mcgruder the clips want to lose this one

doc looks ancient now what the heck

what was anfernee simons supposed to be good at

t/s: timofey mozgov VS maffew ragazino

denver looks awful. can’t get any looks on offense and giving up open threes every other possession

Denver isn’t taking this game seriously, Malone signaled the bubble regular season doesn’t matter and they took note

ben simmons knee surgery. guess we’re getting another year of wondering if the sixers are good.

turns out that's the actual nature of the process

Honestly Porter looks like a guy who will average 25+ ppg at some point

hes insanely good, its disgusting

Jamal Murray looks so good

Pretty clearly a team that knows whom their big 3 is

Bubble officiating is just bad

Mitchell is good

harlan really got up for this one

just this man's opinion but this game is good

tj warren is doing it again

18 points and counting in the first quarter whats going on

a guy who should cease playing minutes for the nuggets is pj dozier

Dozier has been good tho. Good 5th guard

the stuff tj warren is getting to fall....

Some of those post moves Jokic had on Gobert were practically x rated

TJ Warren's updated Bubble stats through 5 games:

61.4% Shooting

it doesnt seems sustainable but also what if he just plays like that now?

what if he has magic powers but only inside the magic kingdom

does disney own the rights to his story if so booo

if he leave he turns into a pumpkin

my advice for the brow, get more dunks (the best shot)

ruff

lakers might be vulnerable shh dont tell

So are there “home” teams in the bubble? I ask because when the Bucks just had the ball the “crowd” was chanting “Defense!”

yes technically there are home teams

the virtual fans are representing the home team as is the added-in noise
