NBA Thread: The Offs - Round 2

youd think an official would be embarrassed to call something like that

like have some pride as a person

 

Here come the Lakers

 

This game is on drugs

 

can we stop talking about ty lue like hes some awesome coach now

 

A flagrant review for that???

 

Considering they’ve been a poverty franchise for most of their existence these mavs jerseys are nice

 

idk man he’s only been gifted generational superstars his entire time as a coach

 

Luka D on that harden drive was something I could of done

 

Harden takeover would be hilarious. He was one of the most hated people in Dallas for a long time

 

that 5 fouls defense

 

Let’s go dump !

 

Watching Embiid and Luka play almost makes me feel silly for thinking LeBron has been unlikeable on the court for the last 20 years. Almost.

Spoiler

 

Kyrie is just an amazing finisher. Love his game

 

The shot making in this game is unreal

 

Harden is fucking cooking Dallas

 

Hopefully Kawhi comes back in game 5

 

This defensive coverage from Dallas is certainly something

 

Maybe I don’t know ball but it would seem Kyrie should be on him

 

Luka looks like Trae Young on D out there

 

MAYBE having Gafford or Lively in could have prevented Harden from having free access to the rim

 

The neat thing about Dallas is when their two best players stand next to each other they look like the number 10

 

this is a game that shows why box scores just don't tell the story anymore, Luka is gonna end up with a statistical output nobody can complain about but he simply wasn't good enough tonight

 

This loss is solely on Kidd tho

 

the shame about this game tightening up was that we didnt get to see the embarrassing luka ejection

 

Westbrook stays dirty af

 

Going with Kleber over Gaff and Lively in crunch time should cost you your job

 

ty lue masterclass

 

any coach should look great compared to the women beater on the other end

 

A Herculean effort to overcome the Boston slanted sports media. They all wanted that Town watching weirdo to win it

 

Daigneault joins OKC legend Scott Brooks as the 2nd COTY in franchise history

Congrats LuPoor

 

LeBatard still has a vote, I see

 

Bill Simmons lead a truly courageous late charge for him, but couldn’t get over the poisoning of the Boston sports media against Mazzula done by Bill Simmons

 

I can't imagine George leaves LA after all the work he put in to get himself there, but I'm really curious to see what kind of deal they end up with this summer after already committing to Kawhi.

 

He should leave, that's a sinking ship and I trust Zion to stay healthy more than I do Kawhi

 

no dame or giannis

hobbled haliburton

lotta 2002 eastern conference playoffs vibes in this one tonight

 

well one is injury prone and the other has a knee made of silly putty but yes I get your point

 

If you're Philly, are you giving 34-year-old PG a 4-year max?

He needs to cash in on one last big deal this summer, and Philly is the only remotely competitive situation that could afford him outside of LA.

 

Orlando can pay. But also Embiid is 31, it's zero hour in Philly. They should be totally willing to throw stupid money at someone like PG.

 

Didn't see Orlando had that kind of space. That could be fun if they can fit him in, although I wonder if they do that with max extensions coming for Franz and Banchero coming and whatever number they end up with Suggs. Makes it kind of their last chance to make a big splash before that stuff.

 

a smooth 6'8'' All NBA level point forward to the Magic in free agency?? How could that possibly go wrong?

 

Paul George sucks. Bad player who will never win a ring

 

a tech after a too small gesture??

what happened to the game that I love

 

there’s an alternate universe where tmac, a healthy grant hill, and tim duncan all sign together in the summer of 2000 for the magic

unfortunately, they’re still coached by doc rivers in that universe as well
