NBA Thread: The Offs - Round 2

Bird took Indiana State to the championship

Durant could barely even get Texas to the Sweet 16

 

No one can overcome that Rick Barnes anchor

 

Whoever said it could be a documentary wasn’t lying. Mom was a teammate of Lisa Bluder at Iowa. Dad played over seas then had a ‘career’ as a Christian rapper. And that’s before they have 9 kids, homeschool them all. Raise their kids as Christian hippy anti vax vegans. Then all the shit we know about the kids starts.

Just an insane unserious family. That create great bball players

 

This is an absolute fact

 

Incredibly unserious, wild fast twitch muscles

 

Some journalist tweeted that MPJ hit like 15 3 pointers in a row in warm ups so I bet my life savings on Missouri to win their first round game, I will never forgive the porter family

 

They fucked up his recovery so badly. Kept him from getting actual treatment to send him to natural healers and shit. There’s a reason he didn’t get fully healthy until a year or so into the Nuggets program.

 

Look at this clown!

 

Smooth brains, smoother jumpers

 

Meh. Let it be one sided. Make it obvious the heat can’t run it back.

 

It's shameful, really

 

time to cancel NCHusker

 

bad player who only won a ring in lebrons backpack before going on to ruin every other team he played on

 

No flex, zone!

 

Jesus Dallas you had like 5 cracks at a bucket there

 

No memory of this post but not surprised you made the joke first

 

Exum

 

Kyrie's just lucky he's playing the biggest loser in the history of the league in Harden.

 

I mean technically the biggest loser in the history of the league would be someone like Shareef Abdur Rahim

 

possibly

 

imagine seeing that last play and thinking he's a bad player

 

yes but he retweets stuff like this

 

super nice guy though. Like legit awesome person when I met him

 

The only thing Westbrook is used for these days is to throw himself into star players to purposely injure them

 

paul george is in the garage

 

Ballmer with the thousand yard stare

 

thinkin bout that wall

 

First night of shitty games in a bit

 

Luka is back folks

 

I’m just happy we won without Kawhi playing

the Ewing Theory is called off for now

 

Bought game 6 tickets and a parking pass, I’m ready to be hurt

 

In my defense, I’m an idiot.

crazy how off this was

 

Never

 

Harden is also largely responsible for both of their wins tbh

Zubac is the only one who has shown up at all 5 games tho

The only player who has shown to have negative value to the team is Westbrook. Dirty ass player can’t do nothing.

 

Its just a shame that the hoop gods had to shred Derrick Rose’s knees only to leave Westbrook unscathed

 

Welp, please place your bets accordingly

 

This nugget from ESPN's end of season Heat blurb has to be a league-wide concern:

"But how can Heat president Pat Riley and his front office evaluate a roster that missed the fifth-most games to injuries and used 35 different starting lineups, the most in franchise history and tied for fifth most among teams this season?"

So Miami set their franchise record for most starting lineups because of injuries...and that was still on 5th in the league this season.

Baseball is consistently having talks right now, especially around pitching, injuries being through the roof. In a time when medicine/training and travel are certainly at a higher quality than in history, is there something the league should be looking at for what feels like an increasing amount of major injuries?
