Jokic is overrated and is too much of a defensive liability imo
He and Luka both need to stop being fat Euro slobs if they ever want to compete for a title.

This series more than anything proved how incredibly overrated Aaron Gordon is. Dude straight up sucks at basketball and has skated by on athleticism and “potential” for years now.

give Luka Ayton and Booker and lets see if it matters if he's fat or not.

Yeah Jokic’s shit conditioning was a huge factor in why the Suns were always able to pull away in the 2nd half of every game. All Ayton had to do was make him work hard to score and by the end of the 3rd quarter Jokic was exhausted.

[Texas_Ranger]

looks like the team that will have the most luck with injuries will win. Sucks that it'll probably be the Flippers.

I made President, forever, just like the 44 before me. I was never happier. Like-a-dream. Nobody can take that away from me.

The other? I don't asterisk, I don't denigrate...I created it...

-Make the playoffs.

---There is nothing else.

If it comes to it, I'll abide. It's my religion.

My second to last, best hope. Retardo has the blooded ring, been there. & Rondo, God bless him. I needs ya now, uh, young black men. Come to the aid of an old-white-man, living on a fixed pension, and light of course $600 x 2 because fart face Biden stole the 1200 smackers. O-M-G!!!

If push then comes to the old shove I have the Nets...O-M-G---to lodge that final stopper into the neck of that bottle. Jam it deep you beautiful Nash Rambler, so it can't be pulled out at the last. Like when Paxson jammed it such nigh on 30 years ago when Barkley made that gravest of mistakes trying come around the Pipster, thereby initiating a domino fall that culminated with Paxson standing all alone and like a giant oak tree, gave out with a groan and 12 men scrambled from a would be grave...on & on.

O-M-G!!!!!!!!!

ATL with a comical turnover, let’s see what Tom Rivers comes up with

[MultiTroll]

Hawks with the super chokey turnover.

101 Hawks
100 Philly.

Philly ball inbounds. Here we go.

[Texas_Ranger]

Embiid will soon be out for the rest of the playoffs.

Terrible possession out of time out by Hawks

Philly matches with stupid possession as the big guy cannot finish

Embiid will soon be out for the rest of the playoffs.
Yep.
I know he's getting burned on for missing the shot but his meniscus is jacked up.
It's throwing him off.

WTH didn't Shake Milton take the shot?

ATL was conceding by 12 feet. He had a running start with no one near him.

[Rummpd]

That was a fun win by young team and if the big guy getting worse could be dangerous for the Process

[MultiTroll]

Mitchell injured or just sucking?

[Rummpd]

Weather knocked out game near DC last looks like not missing much

[spurs10]

Mitchell injured or just sucking? Yeah thats the question, doubt he's 100%.

[TDfan2007]

What a beatdown. Clippers have put the clamps on and have very clearly looked like the better team overall this series.

Clippers have to be the most mystifying team in the league

[TDfan2007]

Also, sixers are in trouble. Small meniscus tears can be okay, until they're not.

I would rest him and ask Durant to get 50 tonight and hope for the best.

Give him another game off. If he tweaks it pretty good then he is likely done for the entire playoffs.

Nets getting BS calls early

[Will Hunting]

God the eastern conference is trash, the quality of play in this game is so bad.

Holiday with 2 fuck up turns in a row.

Otherwise this is orgasmic.

Good timeout by Bud. Bucks by 12, was 16 and they were on a steamroller for momentum until the silly turns.

Flat Earther is missed I'll give you that.

Kenny Smith with some super rare good insight on how the Bucks could have done a much better job of utilizing mismatches in 1st half.

Could be up 24 said Chuck. Concur.

[Will Hunting]

Imo the Bucks lose to the Suns, Clippers or Jizz. Something about them still doesn’t pass the eye test imo.

Keeping Bledsoe over Brogdon was just dumb. Brogdon is so much better than Holliday and they wouldn’t have needed to trade so much to keep him.

[baseline bum]

WTF, Griffen should have just hacked Giannis instead of flopping

[MultiTroll]

I admittedly haven’t watched the NBA much at all in recent years but Giannis’s game seems a lot more clumsy than I remember. There’s no midrange game or creativity/finesse around the rim, it’s him just driving into heavy traffic and relying on athleticism.

Hello
No team ball at all by Bucks.
What the hell is their offensive strategy?

Look i want to give KD props and he is nailing shots.
But FFS how do you choke off a 17 point lead on offense. They look like a YMCA gym where no one is on the same page.

It's like all 4 stand around and whomever has the ball has to jack up some shit.
Put Freak in better shooting positions and he excells.

Rookie Nash working Coach Bud.

It's clear you can't win a chip with Giannis as your best player. Awkward, no post moves, no jumper, no go-to move, can't creat when the paint is packed, can't shoot FTs etc

[TDfan2007]

This is the greatest game KD has ever played. He was just incredible on every level. The gap between him and Giannis is more like a chasm.

As for the Bucks, they lost this one just as much as KD and the Nets won it. No offensive identity, tons of stupid iso, embarrassing Giannis post ups and directionless dribbling...just wow. Bud needs to go

Partially true. He can be your best player, he just can't be your "closer". It's not because he's too big man like, it's because of what you alluded to: he's not really that or a perimeter player like; he's the most awkward hybrid ever.

[TDfan2007]

Yep game of a lifetime and tied with 1:30. He played 48 minutes.

It should never have been tied. The Bucks collapsed, but they collapsed under the pressure that KD put on them. Constantly attacking, scoring, and making plays for others. It was amazing

[Jeremy]

Horribly coached and played ... they trapped a hobbled Harden to leave green wide open. And dumb ass Stanford educated Lopez left green to help on scrubs like Shamet.

They still had a chance to win when they wouldn't leave Harden (or anyone) to double KD with 2.5 seconds left on the shot clock and KD hits the dagger three.

When you factor in the moment, it's got to be one of the most embarrassing/choketastic things that's ever happened on an NBA court. At least make a strong/decent move and your team will live with the results.

But just as embarrassing is the so-called DPOTY being scared to guard KD and saying things like "you hope he misses."

[TDfan2007]

He's vaccinated.

Okay good, then this should be a quick turnaround.

[MultiTroll]

Look, Durants shooting along with the Nets strategies vs Bud Popovich is what turned the game.
That having been said, do you agree it's damn sad when a tied game with 1:30 to go gets turned on that phaggot Frauden doing his one millionth fake foul act and getting rewarded. This time an away from the ball foul FFS.

[Thread]

Okay good, then this should be a quick turnaround.

Unfortunately.

[TD 21]

Antetokounmpo calling Durant the "best player in the world right now" was the weakest, most defeatist quote probably since (Al) Jefferson said "I don't see nobody beating them" in reference to the '12 Spurs after going down 2-0 to them. How a guy whose supposed to be in that conversation could say that mid series, is beyond me.

This series (and championship, pending Scumbag's diagnosis) should still be very winnable for the Bucks in theory, but in reality this felt like a gut punch their already fragile psyche's won't recover from.

[JamStone]

I don’t know if Doc’s the biggest choker of a coach ever. But he’s got to be the biggest choker of a coach that has been gifted so many premium coaching gigs. Even before being blessed with KG and Ray Allen out of nowhere, remember he started out his coaching career being gifted Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill. Now Hill’s injuries weren’t his fault. But he did blow a 3-1 playoff series lead in Orlando as well. Then came the Kevin McHale gift. Then he was lol traded for lol by the Clippers to manage Lob City. THEN for only basketball gods know why, he was kept around for Kawhi-PG, year 1.0. And then, for fuck’s sake, he landed in Philly with a ready made team in a watered down East.

I know the black coach thing in the NFL is a big issue. But wtf and how the fuck has this two pack a day smoker voice, hoarse ass, bobblehead keep finding himself in cushy job after cushy job? I mean it’s been more than 3 times now. Genie’s back in the bottle. No more wishes. And he still keeps getting blessed. His own freaking daughter even gifted him his best roster move for this season. Blessing after blessing.

This summer, Sixers probably trade Ben Simmons for Luka Doncic to make things easier for Doc.

They had Joe Johnson who was definitely a star that year but that series should have been over in 5 at the most, getting taken to 7 by them and then almost losing game 7 to a shitty Cavaliers team was a joke.

He's not Tom Rivers, he's Cock Rivers.

Tom Rivers is his son :lol

I thought his son was Auscrub (one of the worst ST nicknames :lol)

[lefty]

Pretty sure Tom is Doc, because he has been UncleToming

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I just rubbed shit all over my cock and balls :smokin


-Doc

[Arcadian]

Will Durant rise to the occasion for game 5 and prove he can lead a team to victory by himself? Or will he go down in flames with the Nets in an embarrassing backdoor sweep?

Put up or shut up.

Well alright then.

Do that one more time, and you'll be in the "put up" category.

^ 1st two are no character scheming bitches.

Zion if true sorry to hear he is of the same ilk.

[DMC]

Durant should have told James to just stay home.

[spurraider21]

few things bring me more joy than seeing harden flip out after his team gets called for a ticky tack foul on defense

[Benoit]

Milwaukee would've won this thing in 5 games if Bud never played Lopez and his drop coverage bullshit from the start

[lefty]

Harden getting Hardened

[Texas_Ranger]

holy shit, are the sixers shit. Atlanta is good, but the sixers are just pathetic. I have no idea how were they so good in the regular season. They look like an 8th seed.

[timtonymanu]

He's not Tom Rivers, he's Cock Rivers.

Tom Rivers is his son :lol

I thought he was called Tom because it might have been HarlemHeat calling him Uncle Tom after knowing how Sterling was a person when he agreed to coach the Clippers only to turn around and act outraged about the racist remarks once Sterling lost his job. :lol

[Benoit]

2nd time Kawhi's team wins a playoff series without him (2017 Houston now this)

[Millennial_Messiah]

Bogan "Klay Thompson" Bogdanovic. Doesn't matter how many hands in his face, the shot is going in nothing but net.

Why don't the Jazz scheme a Bogdanovic three pointer every trip down, tbh?

[lefty]

Bev hitting everything:lol

[Adam Lambert]

I haven't watched many Jazz games but it doesn't seem like Rudy Gobert is a very good player. Certainly doesn't look like a 2-time DPOY.

[lefty]

Excellent choke job

[D-Wade]

Gobert and Simmons were exposed big time tonight. The Frenchman isn't even all that good at defense either.

[timtonymanu]

Where's CN? His team actually made it past the 2nd round and it's been nothing but cricket noises.

[JamStone]

I haven't watched many Jazz games but it doesn't seem like Rudy Gobert is a very good player. Certainly doesn't look like a 2-time DPOY.

I fell asleep watching the game, but why was Gobert defending Mann for so long? If the other team goes small and one wing players goes off, pretty sure you shouldn’t put or keep your comparatively much slower 9 foot center on him. Gobert should get some criticism too, but Snyder deserves plenty of blame for putting Gobert in that situation.

Imagine Doc Rivers putting his center on a guy who goes off for 39 in a series clinching loss where he had a 25 point lead. For as much roses as Snyder gets around here, that was some bulllllll.shit by him.

[Texas_Ranger]

Seeing the Jazz be so shit just shows u what kind of a monster Doncic was. He fucking made some of the flippers unplayable.

Fakers blame trainer and will replace - blame it on her rather PEDs effects and bizarre injuries per par after gifted sham title with injuries other teams last year.

I don't know but I kept seeing guards take it at Gobert and finish layups like he was Shawn Bradley.

[Rummpd]

Go Bucks!

[lefty]

KD loses the ball, foul on Tucker

[Texas_Ranger]

Holiday needs to go on a holiday.

[Killakobe81]

Holiday needs to go on a holiday.

Shaming the UCLA Bruins legacy

[Thread]

No Paul tomorrow!!!

[Killakobe81]

KD loses the ball, foul on Tucker

Saw that

[Killakobe81]

I don't know but I kept seeing guards take it at Gobert and finish layups like he was Shawn Bradley.

This

[Rummpd]

NetsRef got this especially with Giannis not getting help

[Rummpd]

Go Bucks

[davethedope]

Is there a reason Lopez is on the court?

[Texas_Ranger]

Why the fuck is holiday guarding durant?

[Texas_Ranger]

Cant be near durant or its a foul

[davethedope]

All Durant has to do is throw his hands up in the air

[Rummpd]

NetsRefs = LakerRef

[Barfunk]

Phantom on Durant as well as an obvious no call on Lopez. Shit like that pisses me the fuck off.

[Barfunk]

The NBA just can't fucking help themselves.

[Isitjustme?]

Fucking Bucks getting raped by these refs.

[Killakobe81]

Phantom on Durant as well as an obvious no call on Lopez. Shit like that pisses me the fuck off.

The holiday 5th foul was BS he went straight up ...food stamps level bail out.

[ambchang]

Nba just getting ready to prop Durant up when Lebron retires.

[Isitjustme?]

Jrue!!!

[Rummpd]

Go Bucks

[davethedope]

Another thing that pisses me off about the officiating is the level of confidence displayed in being wrong and stupid. It's frightening.

[Isitjustme?]

C'mon Middleton!

[Millennial_Messiah]

:lmao Durfaggot trying to draw a foul against the air

[Barfunk]

The holiday 5th foul was BS he went straight up ...food stamps level bail out.

Lol. Just started watching, so missed that one.

[Isitjustme?]

Omg if Harden goes hero ball just once lmao

[Millennial_Messiah]

C'mon Middleton!
I hate that they're doing timeouts in between free throws again. They did that circa the early 2000s and it significantly dropped the % on the second one. Basically icing the player.

Middleton is an 88% FT shooter though, so he should make both or he's a choker.

[Millennial_Messiah]

That's clearly off black jersey #1

#refball

[Barfunk]

Clearly off of Milwaukee

[Millennial_Messiah]

nevermind, went off Gianni's shoe

[Millennial_Messiah]

I hate the bullshit rule change making it 14 seconds off an offensive rebound instead of the traditional fresh-24.

Under traditional rules, the Nyets would have had to foul... #fuckTodaysNBA

[Millennial_Messiah]

fucking Lopez :pctoss

[Texas_Ranger]

Lopez is retarded

[Millennial_Messiah]

At home, you'd have to figure they're going for 2, right?

[rude1_79]

wooow. lopez didnt know there was only 2 seconds on the shot clock after a timeout? wow.

[Barfunk]

Fucking Lopez

[davethedope]

Durant icing it with a 3

[Barfunk]

Fucking NBA villians prevail again smh

[Isitjustme?]

Man, this sucks lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

Durbeta with the Vinny Del Negro :lmao

[Texas_Ranger]

Milwaukee is such a pathetic team.

[Isitjustme?]

What an inbounds play by the bucks there

[Barfunk]

No way Milwaukee wins in overtime. Seen this movie too many times.

[davethedope]

gianus almost put the ball on the roof...

[Millennial_Messiah]

Terrible execution :bang

overtime game 7, when's the last time? Spurs vs Mavs in 2006?

[lefty]

:lmao Bucks coaching is terrible

[Texas_Ranger]

When Bud is fired i hope no serious team plans to hire him.

[Rummpd]

F the refs this coming Nets win an asterisk big time

[lefty]

Bud outcoached by a rookie coach

:lol Pop’s coaching tree

[Isitjustme?]

Giannis getting tackled now

[Millennial_Messiah]

Terrible execution :bang

overtime game 7, when's the last time? Spurs vs Mavs in 2006?
I called it :toast Millennial_Messiah

[Isitjustme?]

Fucking hardens bullshit now

[lefty]

oh fuck that

[Millennial_Messiah]

Holiday is a choker, shouldn't be shooting

[lefty]

Fucking Jrue bricking left and right

[Millennial_Messiah]

This is a total ref rigjob... game 6 Kings-Lakers levels.

PJ Tucker has been hosed all night. Fuck today's NBA.

[Millennial_Messiah]

NFL levels of instant replay review tbh.

[Isitjustme?]

ooh baby

[Millennial_Messiah]

Do they even enforce the ole 5-seconds-back-to-basket rule anymore?

[Texas_Ranger]

Yessssss

[Barfunk]

:)
