2024 NBA OFFS AND INS

its time

Are they really in or just playin

someone is going to win the nba playoffs

thats why they play the games

murphy jones ingram nance out there together is so much arms

Zion such a gifted finisher

its amazing he powers though multiple guys then does an insane layup

bron looking pretty old, which makes sense since hes the oldest guy

the pelicans were doing good but now the lakers are doing good well you know what i always say basketball is a game of one team doing good then the other team doing good

it is a game like that

"life's like this"
--avril lavigne in her hit song about hoops "complicated"

avril knows what up

lil behind here incredible slowmo shot of lebron winking, sports emmy worthy

ok im caught up now

lakers are getting open shots too easy pelicans are over helping

bron gotta get out of the way

ingram real bad last two games since he came back

nuggets will win the NBA playoffs

that happened already

this game is not good sorry no offense

we are a people who thirst for novelty sorry k3v

zion showed up but the rest of the pelicans are on bourbon street celebrating mardi gras

lebron james

the oldest man in the world

Prob shoulda rolled with the team without Ingram and eased him back in

yeah

zion trying to win this game tho

i wish i could talk to someone at tnt to tell them how much i hate reggie millers commentary even if it wouldnt change anything it would be nice to let them know how i feel

a sternly worded letter about how Reggie Miller sucks

It’s sad that he brings down the goat harlen

breaking out my future predictions notebook just to make a note about zion. a decent dog candidate

the pelicans are in the game baby

ok this is getting interesting

Zion taking the Bron assignment is encouraging

plaicans figured out to not play ingram or cj

weirdest team in ages as far as awesome role players paired with unreliable stars

They have flexibility which is nice

ZION

bron waiting for the double instead of just going against alvarado

Joseeeee

being a pels fan is fun I should do this more

alverado thumbs up from me what a guy

very cool guy for sure

Our special boy is really doing it this is what we dreamed of

oh no

damn what’s up this is bad

Oh no!!!!!

he didnt look injured

he threw the towel really hard must be something

its ok jose can just get guys dunks every time

I fuckin love this team

have any previous champions lost a playoff game by 45 points y/n

Warriors got smoked by the Grizz in 2022 but don’t remember the score

murray saying his elbow was bothering him

Murray looked like games 1-2 Murray

xxp Dubs lost by 39 while up 3-1 in the series. This was def a worse situation and it's going into a game 7.

Yah I think ja had just gotten hurt and they figured they could coast. I think they were down by like 55 in the 4th

0th percentile is rough

these are m/l all good-to-great shots

this is one of the worst videos on the internet. You have been warned

yeah they were bricking hard early and it sapped them of all their intensity on both ends

Game 7 is gonna be a close one I'm guessing. Lot of bad luck/bad momentum in game 6, but I did notice the Wolves defensively adjusted against Jokic (a lot more help defense with Gobert on him in the post) and it's def going to be on Murray to have a massive redemption game 7 if they want to win this

I kinda feel this is the NBA Finals right here. I am thinking whoever wins on Sunday wins it all

i will never forget that rockets warriors game 7, this wasnt half as bad

that was xp @ that video

I kinda feel this is the NBA Finals right here. I am thinking whoever wins on Sunday wins it all

these teams have not looked that good

celtics can beat these teams for sure, but they need zinger

yeah gotta have the z man, i mean i think they could win it without him but its just not likely

systemic collapse is my least fave nuggs mode they should just tap out

we’ll see how the conference finals go on both sides but — kevin pelton wrote about this at the time — one of the huge advantages denver had over miami last year was that they only played 3 games over the minimum going into the finals whereas miami was +6. at this point boston, having only played 2 extra games, will be blowing away the field once the rest of these series conclude. if the winner of this nuggs-wolves series has to go another 6 or 7 in the west finals they’ll be coming into the finals at a disadvantage, especially if boston can beat an exhausted knicks team in 5. the article pelton wrote on this last year is prob behind a paywall anyway but when there is a big games played split heading into the finals the historical data says the team that has played fewer games is a massive favorite, like far more than the vegas odds would indicate

i wanted to believe the heat were built different heat culture etc but no they just looked really tired and beaten down compared to denver

yeah and the celtics have not even been playing at high intensity in the games they have played, havent played that many more minutes, the close out game vs the cavs was exactly a regular season celtics game

Celtics low intensity is their secret weapon

speaking of secret weapons, i guess we shouldn't have been surprised that the wolves vibes were off the chart last night

Gorgui is in the building! pic.twitter.com/ZCtattdYFe

they had gugliotta too!

haha yeah and one JR Rider!

I've noticed a lot of weird things happening these playoffs that didn't happen during the regular season, like season-long low scores or crazy runs being posted, wonder if coaching is really making a huge difference here. explains why Doc Rivers was out so soon

Can't wait for the high drama finger pointing after next season when the Bucks get eliminated in the first round again.

from which jokic delivred the mile high. thank you slavic basketball god

Jamal Murray's true shooting this postseason is down to 45.8%. That's one of the 10 worst playoff marks in the entire 3-point era (out of 569 players with at least 200 shots in a postseason).

how the pendulum swings, so are the days of our lives

love to root for game seven its one of the best things you can root for

going back a bit gorgui looks like a 7th-grade teacher on chaperone duty

Brunson does not look right

why is there still not a game time for game 7 of nuggs/wolves? cmon man we got lives to plan out here

prob waiting to see if theres a knick pacers game seven

true I guess they would want to make that one before the west one

is the plural game sevens or games seven

love how every basketball player is obsessed with the different parts of the quarter

beginning: important, time to set the tone
end: literally the most crucial thing in the world
middle: totally meaningless does not matter what you do during this part

the pacers don't make any sense, they easily have enough talent to win this series but they are prone to long stretches of what i can only call fucking around

feel like they got pretty disrupted by halis injury and non return to form, then the siakim trade its always tough to integrate a new guy, i think theyll be better next year

i tend to agree i just hope hali returns to form

he was playing so good before the injury dont think theres any guarantee he gets back to that level since he was prob at least kind of on a heater but stuff like not being able to hit a 3 after the injury should correct itself at least since hes at 40% for his career

i hope he does get back to that early season level tho that was cool

seems like josh hart is attempting to play through a torn ab here idk seems bad

he's acting like he's trying to play through a gunshot wound

he could he be shot its true we need a replay

this game is over baby game seven on the way

tj mcconnell is easily one of the weirdest good players, the league is better for having him.

also i'd probably take the knicks at home on sunday even if josh hart can't be resuscitated
