By reilo Go To PostAfter the bubble and now this I am over it. Which is ironic cause I feel the field is more wide open than ever but that's because to injuries to AD/Lebron, Durant, Embiid, etc and nothing to do with quality of play.I thought bubble ball was some of the best we've seen, especially in the playoffs.
This season has been really bad though. Not just the quality of play but also maybe the burn out? Short offseason + a schedule that has a lot of games played consecutively is a recipe for injuries and we are seeing the results. Maybe when the playoffs come around it will be better but I'm having a hard time staying interested.
I also really miss the energy of packed stadiums. I'm going to a Dodgers game later this month (I'm fully vaccinated) and I'm really looking forward to the energy in the stadium, even if it's only at 15% capacity.

By reilo Go To PostI mean, I don't blame you thinking that as a Lakers fan, but the playoffs had way too much funky shit going onFair point. I feel that most postseasons have a lot of flukey play and guys playing above their weight class but last year was nuts. Murray, Butler, Mitchell, Herro, Bam, and Jokic all broke the fuck out. Jokic always been there but he definitely leveled up... he's also the only guy who has sustained that level of play.
By Kuma Go To PostRj barret and Randle hitting 3s all night smhRandle been hitting 3's, rj is the one who is improving lately and his shooting in general.
bubble playoffs were less shit than usual, specially in the earlier rounds.
This season though? damn near unwatchable.

forgetting how to hit 3's is bad when you're a 3 or die team
i can't help but feel this is a playoff preview

By diehard Go To Postforgetting how to hit 3's is bad when you're a 3 or die teamNah. We've done it for too long with only short stretches of bad shooting. The team is solid. Faith.

By jar155 Go To PostWhy is Mark Jackson still employed? He's the woooooooooooorst.
He's also going to be your next coach. So speak softly.
By jar155 Go To PostChris Paul is so annoying.

Mitchell looks absolutely exhausted. I can't wait to see how Ayton will awkward his way into success for the winner tip in or something. I can feel it coming.
By diehard Go To PostBogey hesitating on that wide open game tying 3 was extra painfulHe's in his own head so bad. We really need him to snap out of it.
By diehard Go To Postintentionally fouling when up 3 is really LAME smartBooker actually fouled him before the inbound pass. Super obvious too.
By reilo Go To PostUtah is about to put a beating on Portland tomorrow after losing two in a row.
reilo trying to channel Syphon, y'all see it.
If Ayton can play like he did tonight we will be in good shape, he had some typical bonehead shit and soft looks but his defense was a game changer and he had some great hustle plays and rebounds.
By reilo Go To PostUtah is about to put a beating on Portland tomorrow after losing two in a row.2b2 and cant shoot straight, Blazers will take it.
By diehard Go To Post2b2 and cant shoot straight, Blazers will take it.Don't you dare give me false hope. We just gave up a franchise record 47 pts in the first quarter to the Clippers. Plus Kanter is most likely gonna start so that paint is going to be wide open for easy buckets and kickouts for open threes.
fr that piccolo and tien are tuff
moving that slow is probably putting ungodly pain on ja's knees.
By jjasper Go To Postlmao god
Ja trying so hard to stay behind kyle lol
moving that slow is probably putting ungodly pain on ja's knees.
RJ shot 6 for 6 from 3 last night and is shooting 44% from 3 over the last 40 games. That's pretty good. Not good enough to take Jared fucking Allen's spot on the 25 under 25 list but still...
Nets +250 for the chip
double up the savings account i'm just sayin aint nothing stopping them but an injury

things i learned from last night
1. the fact that james harden has very distinct fat tits but is still a sensational basketball player is remarkable. they were plainly obvious under his t shirt on the bench all night
2. going from my first exposure of centres being deandre jordan and jarrett allen, how bizarre it is to see one actually shoot instead of just dunk. props, lamarcus.
3. i think kevin durant has one of those targeting systems like the terminator, it’s incredible. what a player.
4. nic claxton looked better with the long dreadlocks. he supersedes kyrie on my hottest nba players list from a few weeks ago though
5. the sooner timothe luwawu cabarrot is traded for a second round pick to the magic the better. 2/13, all of them three pointers. when chris chiozza is showing you up, it’s time to retire and be a family man.

The LA purple one is bad. And the PHX ones are ugh. The chi-town one is oof.
