2017-18 NBA Thread

[Brick]

They're all fickle as hell. NBA has the worst analysis coverage of all the genders. Let me guess, WARRYERS finally figured out the BLUEPRINT to finish off the Rockets in that 4th quarter, right?

 

[OU11]

Factoring in what was at stake, I thought the third quarter of tonight's game was the best quarter of basketball in the playoffs.

I also think basketball writers in general are going to fry their brains trying to decide when isolation basketball is a good thing or not. "The Rockets have modernized iso basketball", "the Rockets are being killed by playing too much isolation", "what a great play by Durant, no one can guard him one on one", "Durant going into iso mode is throwing off the Warriors offense".

It's easy, when you make the shot iso is great. If you miss ur ruining basketball and bringing shame upon ur house

I was about to say that douchebag alone is enough for me to root for Cleveland, but then I realized that would mean rooting for Cleveland.

 

[NML]

I should be reason enough to root for Cleveland

 

[OU11]

Celtics have already scored 3 times as many points as Cleveland

 

[NML]

It’d be a real shame if Tatum went off tonight to win game 7 of the conference finals while being defended by LeBron. Definitely not rooting for that

 

[OU11]

Best 19 year old since sliced bread

 

[NML]

Thompson has been so massive this series. As soon as he sat, Celtics got whatever they wanted in the paint. Baynes isn’t athletic enough and he’s always owned Horford.

 

[sayo]

Cavs supporting cast is so bad. Larry Nance Jr taking corner threes lulz

 

[sayo]

I mean, Nance just seeing the floor in a game 7 of the ecf... What a time to be alive.

Yeah, you should definitely root for the Celtics instead

 

[sayo]

These teams are also nowhere near the quality of Houston or Golden State.

Greatest sport ever right.

 

[sayo]

Greatest sport ever right.

Just speaks to how good Bron is, actually. This team is picking in the top 5 of the draft without him.

 

[NML]

What are non-LeBron Cavs shooting? It feels like 2 for 30

3 for 15?

LeBron isn’t playing well, the Cavs are trash outside of him, and it’s four at the half

Yikes

 

[sayo]

Lol @ smart.

 

[OU11]

Yikes

I agree he's not playing well but lawd his below average half is 17 and 10

 

[sayo]

This score tho...eww

 

[NML]

“Baynes, a blue collar kind of guy they love here in Boston”

That’s one way to say he’s white

 

[bruin228]

Literally every Celtics possession ends with a foul called on the Cavs lol

 

[NML]

Celtics have 41 points since the first

 

[OU11]

brings his lunch pale every day

 

[nowitsourtime]

Lawd the 3 point shooting in this game

 

[OU11]

Celtics got Lebrined

 

[kella]

LeBron just put the C's out for trash collection lol

 

[NML]

6 of 40 from three holy shit

Celtics just aren’t that good

Bring on ur trolling

 

[kella]

Lawd the 3 point shooting in this game

You don't think the Celtics late game offense of Rozier shooting 3s off of one foot was good? BTW this is my 2k offense

 

[OU11]

6 of 40 from three holy shit

Celtics just aren’t that good

Bring on ur trolling

They're no 09 Magic

 

[bruin228]

Worst team to ever get eliminated at home by a lottery team and the GOAT

 

[sayo]

Goat

 

[Hooblaa]

I bet Kyrie is salty as a mf right now

 

[sayo]

I bet Kyrie is salty as a mf right now

You could argue he'd still be kinda salty if this team made the finals without him.

 

[bruin228]

Yeah, Kyrie would be mad

He wants to be like RUSS and be the focal point chucking his way to mediocrity

 

[NML]

Celtics probably take the series in five if Kyrie is healthy

 

[Bmack]

Kyrie injures is kinda how default status tho

 

[goblue96]

Tatum is the best 19-year old playing for Boston who lost to Cleveland in seven games.

 

[Southpaw]

Best 19 year old to ever get his shit pushed in by a king.

The Knicks Infinity Stone is the one that weakens the power of the rest of them so using the gauntlet doesn't cause you to kill hisself.

 

[silverwheels]

Happy for Jeff Green.

 

[NML]

Tatum finishes with the second most points ever for a rookie in the playoffs. Kareem had 352 and Tatum had 351

Celtics might have four all stars next year and probably walk to the finals if LeBron goes west. Such a good experience for Tatum, Brown, and Stevens.

Glad Rozier got exposed, Smart needs to be the guard off the bench even though he can’t shoot.

LeBron is unbelievable. He played all 82 in the regular season of his 15th year, three rounds of the playoffs, and the ENTIRE FUCKING GAME tonight. His best teammate was Jeff Green and he’s going to his eighth straight finals. Dude is from another planet

 

[silverwheels]

We are all witnesses.
