NBA Thread: The Haliban

Nuggets have really never had elite net ratings in regular season either, they excel in close games and clutch time. They are not built likke or play like some of the recent regular season juggernauts.

 

You’re good man. Happens.

 

Thank you

 

OKC got 104 FGAs up (and 22 FTs) and got 104 points out of it against a bad defense with Jokic giving zero fucks for 3+ quarters. What a bizarre game.

 

Young teams are frustrating. Offense just shut down any type of flow near the end there outside of JDub.

Blowing teams out all season and only having like 5 close games all year is showing.

 

Sprinkle in the get Russ a Ring campaign

 

Jokic should have 5 straight MVPs at this point

 

Motherfucking nuggs

 

OKC offense devolved to 3 consecutive air balled Harteinstein floaters in OT

 

Giannis should have won the year Jokic got his first, but ironically voters didn't want to give it to him for the same reasons they didn't want to give it to Jokic the year Embiid won.

 

I just don’t understand “voter fatigue”.

I’m voting for the best guy. Jokic is just better and more efficient than everyone else

 

Of all the nights to plant your flag on this, lol

 

There’s no argument for SGA IMO.

 

Nugg

 

Can confirm.

The only time I've seen the Can rowdy than it was tonight was the Finals.

 

Went to bed at halftime. Wtf happened to Chet Holmgren in the second half?

 

It happened to the entire Thunder offense. It devolved into isolations and hero ball, centered around a superstar guard who played like anything but.

 

I remember when he was using a ton of slang to sound like Stuart Scott which was the thing back then, but he sounded like Tim Meadows doing Stuart Scott. Always bothered me.

 

Ok NYK, no fucking around today, you got a job to do

 

I very much do not enjoy him exclaiming "Wet!" I'm far from a prude but it's unsettling.

 

Da Knicks

 

Celtics were gonna win today anyways but its gonna be cruel if the Knicks' shots keep rolling around every inch of the rim without falling

 

Nothing beats his legendary insurrection call from 22 Finals LOL

 

I have a Celtics + padres (vs Rockies) Ml parlay. Putting it out there in the universe to hope I could potentially mush Boston

 

Absolute dirt

 

Bostons adjustment to shoot 85% on threes seems like a good one

 

Is it just me, or is the sound mix so bad the announcers are inaudible.

 

Mitchell Robinson's FT shooting might be the most consistently reliable thing going this postseason from any player

 

refs are calling this one like its December

 

Absolute art*

 

Dort was just lashing out after the fourth time his three point attempt missed rim.

 

Not bringing Brunson back at that timeout was an odd decision

 

Ewing’s daughter (hopefully), hello

 

Those extra 4 seconds were huge

 

They chose to wait after that travel, too. He's still waiting.

 

Larry Johnson looking that old makes me feel really old

 

Celtics in 6

 

Very gross but very true

 

You knew this shooting performance was coming at some point but NY playing like a bunch of morons isn't helping. KAT has some of the worst defensive instincts I've ever seen from an NBA player. He's a decade+ into the league and still has zero clue how to do anything against the PnR.

 

the NBA playoffs without 3 point spamming and injuries

 

3 point attempts should be like home runs in slow pitch softball

 

Every time I look up the celtics are taking a 3
