2020 End of Season / Playoffs

[The Great One]

What is Nurkic doing? I thought Bargnani was soft. This dude is probably the SOFTEST finisher i've ever seen. And people say he's a difference maker type of player?

[007]

Portland suddenly look like they’re about to collapse on the court? And the LeBron gives zero shits about transition defense lmao

[slaw]

The officiating today in all three close games was questionable. Indy and Portland had no chance with the way those games were called. The Houston-OKC game had a lot of wierd calls, though it seemed balanced between the teams.

Lakers have 31 FTA in the first half

Lakers ended up being gifted 43-19 in F/T and only wins by 8.
Shameful NBA wants both LA teams to move forward but that's blatant since it's sure not a one off example.

Yeah, this doesn't bode well for the Raps next 2 series. Lakers-Celtics would be a dream final for the NBA. Or Giannis vs. Kawhi - Round 2. Those are great story lines and entertainment is what the NBA is all about. We have to get used to watching our team playing 8 vs. 5.

Mostly unrelated but for a guy who is almost as well known for being a meme to a certain percentage of people, this show has launched a new boatload of them

Absolutely but so frustrating to watch a foul get called on one end and the exact same things let go on the other.
Or one of two of your important players put in foul trouble early.
Or a close game decided by trips to the line over and over.
Watching refs make late foul calls if the opposition misses the basket.
Momentum changed, series fixed.

I'm sure it's the same for other "small market" (US TV ratings) teams.
Shouldn't have to but yeah, have to get used to it and play through it.

Horford and Tobias Harris aka Rudy Gay 2.0 both have 4 more years left in their contract after this season. Both are getting paid like a MAX player. Lol. I still want to know how that's Brett Brown's fault.

The Sixers are fucked.

[Jclaw]

the frustrating thing is that other than the first game, the sixers have been in most games but this will likely be a 4 and out for Boston

[GOLDBLUM]

Boston with a 12-0 run to end the 3rd

That's the typical Boston sweep. Each game is sort of close, but Boston wins each one. That's how they handled Indiana last season before getting smoked by Milwaukee in 5 in the second round (they won game 1 against the Bucks).

[GOLDBLUM]

Hopefully Tobias is ok.
went down super hard on his head

[G__Deane]

Sixers are done, I thought they'd take one but with Embiid alone they're a middle of the pack team

Ya that fall was nasty. Seemed best case scenario for that type of hit that he was able to walk away.

[bertarapsfan]

Woulda been nice for Sixers to even extended to it 5 put a bit more miles on the celtics but once tobi went down the Sixers pretty much gave up
