Kevin Durant: "There’s going to be problems for the Boston Celtics this year!"

Jayson Tatum: "F*ck outta here!"

Ime Udoka: "We know how to lock Patty [Mills'] ass up."

perfectly flaky kyrie post game interview

congratulations to kevin durant, kyrie irving, and the brooklyn nets on making the nba playoffs

plucky brooklyn startup defies the odds

clippers are beating the shit out of KAT already

its the obvious move

need to see pat bev lose tonight

need to see pat bev lose tonight

pat bev picking up three fouls in the first quarter you do love to see it

Dude is the Westbrook of defense. Just has no self awareness or ability to adapt.

nightmare start for KAT sheesh

Can only go up from here

it hasn't gone that bad for them considering. threes have kept them in it

shoutout to gerson rosas for picking anthony edwards before embarking on a sex scandal

KAT playing like he snorted 3 lines of amphetamines before the game

chris finch letting KAT pick up 4 first half fouls... prob not the best coaching decision he's ever made

shout out to the glue lady

she should've tried to make it further out onto the court

if you're gonna glue yourself to the court it's gotta be at halfcourt

That glue thing was so weird, no one in the building knew wtf was going on

It's really amazing we are only down one

KAT with 2-1-1 on 0-7 shooting and picked up 4 fouls, hard to imagine he's played a worse half of basketball in his life

How in the world did we leave this half up?

Holy shit Red Panda rules

lol

lmao that bev Morris double tech rescinded specifically bc the game matters

classic moment in the history of refereeing

kat out here committing multiple egregious offensive fouls on one play

what is kat…doing

some not great reffing

KAT is playing like he’s filming a jackass sketch where he purposefully bowls over johnny knoxville and steve o

crazy play

Terance Mann with the rejection!

it’s terrance mann time

KAT is a fascinating, if tragic, figure

kat wow man

He always bitches about his respect blah blah blah but these are the moments that people remember, embarrassing for KAT

this game has a lot of classic weird dude energy

got some real chaosball goin on out there. lookin like a good college game

lad

It was so loud in here after that dunk

damn they airballed a wide open dagger 3

good game

awesome game. bad night for the “play in is bad” crowd

Clips really taking some bad shots in the clutch

excessive amounts of pat bev happening

awesome game. bad night for the “play in is bad” crowd

I mean to be fair these are the 7 and 8 seeds

to be fair we got an awesome playoff game that otherwise wouldn’t have happened

Now that the 'ins are over, we need an 'offs thread.
