btw looking forward to joker cooking gobert euro bigman on bigman violence no offense

cld be looking at a couple rounds of 7footer battles for joker which is fun and classic

think hell prob look to pull gobert away from the basket where he might just go right at ayton cause hes puppy fur soft

Embiid hits the floor 20 secs into the first playoff game - right on schedule.

hardens blown two layups too

nuggets will win the nba playoffs

bucks over suns

bucks
celtics
sixers
knicks

nuggets
lakers
kings
suns

bucks
sixers

kings
suns

nets doubling embiid on the catch at the 3pt line not sure ive seen that before

Death taxes and harden crying for calls in the playoffs

its a pretty funny bit

Embiid really being decisive dealing with the double team so far, passing or attacking quickly.

Yah the nets have the length to do some effective doubling. Cool to see embiid counter and just make his move super quickly. Wonder if he’ll have the energy to do that all game/series tho

tough to break the habit of playing slow too

I guess the Nets finally hired a coach.

not sure the nets have the stuff to keep up here

Gonna need some random outlier performances every game

need to not be giving up a million open 3s too

i know its tiring for him but id like to see embiid get deep post touches and put some fouls on the nets when they double

they dont have anyone to stop him from getting position but hes working out of the high post anyway

finally did it and got an easy basket

predictions

r1
mil>mia 5
bos>atl 4
phi>bk 6
cle>nyk 7

den>min 4
mem<lal 7

phx>lac 6

r2
mil>cle 6
bos>phi 6

den>phx 7
gsw>lal 5

r3
mil>bos 7
den>gsw 6

f
mil>bos 7

i feel so unconfident in these picks tbh, i didnt watch as much hoops this year as i have in the last two decades or so

feel like the celtics and bucks def wont play each other in the finals

God, if Philly had Bridges they would win a title.

hes showing up kudos to him

Yes for sure xp

I didn't realize how long and thin Bridges was - looks like slightly smaller Durant out there.

harden is good at playoffs now

He’s always been good in the first round lol

this season his success will surly continue throughout the various rounds

feel like the celtics and bucks def wont play each other in the finals

lol goddamnit (obv mil>den)

Heart: Nuggets over Bucks

Head: Bucks over Suns

nice thing abt nets getting bridges is he seems like a real star but also they dont need to panic trade to get guys around him, just be patient and add guys when it makes sense

Sixers took care of business. Not going to shoot 50% from 3 every game, but some good stuff (hustle, toughness, good decision making) they've lacked at times.

they might shoot 50% if they keep getting those looks

celtics first sub is rob in for marcus, interesting

gotta love tatum playing fast moving without the ball and so forth here, its the good tatum

rob!

sicko time :)

WOW ROB WILLIAMS ! 🚫pic.twitter.com/vhAVBgf1J4

had to work to make this not straight chalk

hmm you could have done that by picking the boston celtics to win it all (the correct choice)

lol marcus with some very nice screen grifting here early

jimmy is canonically a mom

welp i guess thats why you dont lose the first three games, live and learn

Yeah usually not a good idea

nuggets will win the nba playoffs

paul pierce flew all the way across the country for a funeral… sad

heat finish 5-2 in the garden the last two conference finals

so Caleb Martin is now the third best nba player to come out of NC State after David Thompson and Tom Gugliotta

there it is

oh man

please....show Wahlberg...

oh my god the simmons photo lmaoooo

lol what a fuckin baby

he's a C's fan. he looks like he had his leg slowly chewed off by a persistent squirrel. as is only correct.

that simmons pic is priceless

it's exactly what i would imagine him looking like at that game, but it's good to have an actual photo

that face is probably a react icon in 400 NBA discord servers right now

jimmy butler accepting the larry bird eastern conference finals mvp trophy on the floor of the boston garden :)

(1) denver nuggets (8) miami heat 2023 nba finals ft the joker and mommy butler

flight plan otm

Boston becomes first city to lose a home Game 7 to an 8-seed in both hockey and basketball in the same season.

hard to believe

two finals and a game 7 ECF in 4 seasons in miami for jimmy butler. in seasons preceded by a normally scheduled offseason he’s 3 for 3 in getting to at least the conference finals. he also may potentially pass trae young and karl towns on espn’s nba rank

trae young has an nba rank?

also j cole should get a ring

are there ECF rings

I'm sure there's at least a nice swag bag for the winners

honestly thought martin had a solid claim to MVP

i dont think so but he was a solid second banana

25-8-6-3 vs 19-6-2-1

Jimmy is mother

5-4 vote for series MVP, one of the closest Larry Bird trophy votes ever

martin averaged 19 for the series??

What 26 points on 16 shots, with no free throws, in a Game 7 on the road looks like for Caleb Martin: pic.twitter.com/ds1fNHZNNY

i'm convinced jimmy has otherworldly powers

jordan enjoy your victory lap before the finals start

meh. bring on the nuggets

Anybody that posts a gif of the Celtics player flopping and getting a no-call and crying like “What? Really?” while on the ground will be my friend forever.

salute

beginning of the year is very good, but anyone who predicted this finals at the end of the regular season is a time traveler
