2024 NBA OFFS AND INS

its time

Are they really in or just playin

someone is going to win the nba playoffs

thats why they play the games

murphy jones ingram nance out there together is so much arms

Zion such a gifted finisher

its amazing he powers though multiple guys then does an insane layup

bron looking pretty old, which makes sense since hes the oldest guy

the pelicans were doing good but now the lakers are doing good well you know what i always say basketball is a game of one team doing good then the other team doing good

it is a game like that

"life's like this"
--avril lavigne in her hit song about hoops "complicated"

avril knows what up

lil behind here incredible slowmo shot of lebron winking, sports emmy worthy

ok im caught up now

lakers are getting open shots too easy pelicans are over helping

bron gotta get out of the way

ingram real bad last two games since he came back

nuggets will win the NBA playoffs

that happened already

this game is not good sorry no offense

we are a people who thirst for novelty sorry k3v

zion showed up but the rest of the pelicans are on bourbon street celebrating mardi gras

lebron james

the oldest man in the world

Prob shoulda rolled with the team without Ingram and eased him back in

yeah

zion trying to win this game tho

i wish i could talk to someone at tnt to tell them how much i hate reggie millers commentary even if it wouldnt change anything it would be nice to let them know how i feel

a sternly worded letter about how Reggie Miller sucks

It’s sad that he brings down the goat harlen

breaking out my future predictions notebook just to make a note about zion. a decent dog candidate

the pelicans are in the game baby

ok this is getting interesting

Zion taking the Bron assignment is encouraging

plaicans figured out to not play ingram or cj

weirdest team in ages as far as awesome role players paired with unreliable stars

They have flexibility which is nice

ZION

bron waiting for the double instead of just going against alvarado

Joseeeee

being a pels fan is fun I should do this more

alverado thumbs up from me what a guy

very cool guy for sure

Our special boy is really doing it this is what we dreamed of

oh no

damn what’s up this is bad

Oh no!!!!!

he didnt look injured

he threw the towel really hard must be something

its ok jose can just get guys dunks every time

dort dorting

Everything but finals should be five game series. Maybe the conference finals could be seven. Way to much offs.

thats one of the worst opinions ive ever heard

mods

yes, that is a truly wild opinion, controps at its finest

it has been addressed

okc making a lot of preventable mental errors

thunder when nuts to close the half its like im always saying close the quarter strong score 24 points at the end

Why would you want less ball? Ball is life.

i'd be fine with the first round reverting to 5 games but the rest of it has to be 7

I like the “3-0 in the first round is a sweep” idea but like why would the NBA do that

mavs mounting a comeback

its true what they say about basketball being a game of runs

role players lying on the floor because they’re mad about not getting a call…in a playoff game

they learned it by watching the stars

would like to see shai go wild here

couple thunders in the game to shoot threes passing up threes

close game

dallas really had a luka and kyrieless linupe up out there in two point game with under five to play

guess it was only 14 seconds

mavs hitting huge shots here

welp, mavs were better

fun series

good game, luka is a very unlikeable character

rooting for whoever wins the min-den series from here on out

same

will be sad to see you guys left in tears but we all make our choices

honestly i'll be happy with anyone but dallas

Rooting for the Mavs with Luka and Kyrie is a bit like rooting for the 'Bad Boy' Pistons. Someone's gotta do it, but it won't be me.

that would have been a very bizarre and disappointing loss for either side

lively outplaying chet and jones jr outplaying any OKC role player epitomized that series. he’s in the perfect role and is playing w/ two of the best ball handlers in the league but damn lively is a baller

yeah he’s in the perfect situation. gafford too. they made good use of the deadline

it does feel like they will be a dog vs whoever comes out of the min/denver series but a western conference final berth is a huge accomplishment after missing the playoffs last year. and luka is that guy

okc shouldve won that series but they didnt instead they got beat

shai was really good

not exactly an original opinion but okcs galaxy brained scheme to not care about size or rebounding is maybe not the best

also trading for hayward while dallas got washington from the same team turned out pretty rough

okc has positional size everywhere except where it mattered most

they got outrebounded 5 of 6 games including 47-31 tonight

they’re playing the long game (haha but not literally) I think it’s fine

they’ll find some reboundy guy

andre drummond reclamation project coming soon

chet is 2 years older than lively too so it’s not even like they can just chalk it up to their youth

one thing that also tripped them up is that in the regular season they got a lot of supplemental offense from giddey, he was essentially their back up PG and could run the team when shai was sitting or make things happen when they played together. in this series he put up 6-3-1 on 41/18 shooting and didn’t play more than 13 mins after game 1. accordingly there was too much of a burden on shai, j dub had some moments but in the end wasn’t really anywhere close the paul george-ian second creator you can project him to be.

nothing about giddey’s game at the moment makes you think he will become playable in the offs, so imo they need to find another guard who they can mix in w/ dort, wallace, joe who can actually create off the dribble. those guys were all great regular season role players and dort and wallace will obv be key cogs but their collective inability to take any playmaking burden off shai & j dub was a noticeable anchor in this series

using a challenge down by a field goal, when you have one timeout and 2.5 seconds left, seems like a huge mistake to me

When was the last time OKC had a veteran who was a real player? Chris Paul? It seems like it's either youngsters or Presti's salary fodder. They could use a Mike Conley type.

the impact he's had on the won't Wolves has been incredible

the challenge is defensible to me because if they won it it would’ve been a jump ball and the game would’ve been over. so it was a high upside gamble, and your chances of scoring with 2.5 seconds even w/ a timeout are still pretty slim

Sad for okc. Dallas was unwatchable to me last year but adding all this athleticism and high flying bigs has made them much more aesthetically appealing. Hate them tho and need them to be beat.

I thought the challenge was good and didn’t know about the not loosing possession thing

DJJ being a solid rotation piece is cool, this really is the right team right place type of thing ala GP2 2022 Bruce Brown 2023 type of thing
