Ant wasn’t good tn lol

He wasn’t

[sweet tree]

Naz Reid block on jokic at end was nice too

[celest zephyr]

Naz Reid man

A beast

Conley really helps them a lot

[hollow wind]

Ant had 16 lol. But yeah, Reid is the 6th man of the year for a reason

[weak gull]

Literally was reid and fucking gobert/conley down the stretch

[calm mulch]

Bro the Nuggets bench had 5 points combined

[celest zephyr]

Towns also with that put back

[calm mulch]

can't win like that

[dim kettle]

What is up with teams and blowing leads in these elimination games?

[timid swift]

Wolves is just way too tall for the mavs

[ripe yacht]

Mavs in 6

[weak gull]

On like 6/24 lol

[celest zephyr]

Gobert 6th foul was mildly bs

[hollow wind]

Yea lol

[timid swift]

Wolves sweeping the mavs

[weak gull]

FUCK NO

[ocean glade]

ANTHGOATNY EDWARDS

[timid swift]

Wolves in 6 against the Celtics

[somber haven]

That’s a bold take

[celest zephyr]

Chuck ready to eat some good Minnesota food

[calm mulch]

The Mavs vs TWolves no team is gonna score more than 70, just watch 💀

2004 pistons game

[amber wind]

Praying for jokic's downfall was worth it

[ocean glade]

wolves wont sweep mavs but wolves in 6 ngl

[stiff coyote]

love chuck

[celest zephyr]

See y’a jokic

[torn gale]

Ant shot horrible but he made the right plays at the right time and heated up at the right time

[ripe yacht]

Wolves ain't ready for luka 🥱

[stiff coyote]

praying is crazy

[torn gale]

Was really good defensively too

Never lost confidence

[timid swift]

Not really, kat and gobert are just gonna run circles on lively

[celest zephyr]

Luka needs a cryo chamber

[weak gull]

Idk why ant getting this glaze in a game he didn’t even play that well in

[calm mulch]

They def are, Luka struggled with Lu Dort and the TWolves have like 3 of him, but taller

the Nuggets were the easier matchup for us

[celest zephyr]

Luka struggles when he cries about the refs

[restive vector]

this has to be bait

[celest zephyr]

Dude just needs to stfu and ball

[weak gull]

Has to

[torn gale]

I don’t think luka has been whiny much this okayoffs lol

[ripe yacht]

What are the chances pacers upset the celtics 🤔

[hasty mesa]

Late on the Knicks but sad to see them go out like that

[torn gale]

Every star moans to the refs

[calm mulch]

west conference finals gonna be some early 2000s basketball

nobody scoring shit

[hasty mesa]

Props to the Pacers and damn our injury luck

[celest zephyr]

The issue is dude plays worse

[fleet orbit]

Wolves in 6, Celtics in 5

[hollow wind]

Nah Luka still gets animated after every play/call lol

[celest zephyr]

And doesn’t get back on d

[hasty mesa]

Hope next year goes better for Knickerbockers

[weak gull]

Very slim. Although no Tingus Pingus makes it better, Celtics should win in 5 or 6

[hollow wind]

Even if it’s not whining, he’s always getting uppity

[celest zephyr]

Duncan at least played the game while complaining

[torn gale]

Does he really play worse? Lol. Regardless of the moaning he plays well

[celest zephyr]

Celtics in 5

[torn gale]

He hasn’t shot that well this okayoffs however

[celest zephyr]

Idk it feels like he does at times

[celest zephyr]

When he gets too into it

Celtics will bitch slap the pacers s

[torn gale]

Regular season doesn’t matter

[celest zephyr]

I don’t believe in them at all

[stiff coyote]

this is regular season thou

[torn gale]

Suns swept the wolves

In the regular season

[amber wind]

Hopefully

[stiff coyote]

fuck no

[celest zephyr]

Like the pacers have been playing better defense in the playoffs? LOL

[stiff coyote]

I hope pacers win or l it

fuck BOSTON

[calm mulch]

The Pacers ain't got the personnel to deal with the Celtics, the east has been free for the last 3 years

[weak gull]

Also with Tingus Pingus lol. Also idk why I get sent that for saying Boston likely wins in 5 or 6 (maybe) lol

[calm mulch]

The west is the stacked conference

[amber wind]

I hate both of the teams but the pacers made me root for boston

[stiff coyote]

east was always weak

[celest zephyr]

He for sure will

[torn gale]

Pacers are gonna lose likely but they’ll get a game or two

[hollow wind]

God, those fat Jokic vs far Luka edits got me

[worthy dust]

why do you hate the pacers

[sweet tree]

yeah I saw those

[honest umbra]

How did the wolves come back?

[calm mulch]

so close to greatness

[celest zephyr]

Jokic vs Luka hookah battle

[torn gale]

Nuggets kept bricking

And bricking

And bricking

[calm mulch]

MPJ masterclass

[amber wind]

Because Tyrese's face looks annoying

[hollow wind]

We can go even further

[celest zephyr]

Nuggets sold at the end

[torn gale]

This is a game of runs and the wolves went on a huge run

[celest zephyr]

They weren’t playing good offense

[worthy dust]

MAVS IN 6

[celest zephyr]

Wolves in 6

[torn gale]

Jamal Murray vanished in the second half, jokic was meddling. MPJ and Aaron gordon existed I guess? Hard to prove

[torn gale]

Indeed

[celest zephyr]

MPJ and Murray going to be sent to china

Jokic is about to recruit across the league

[gusty kayak]

Is this real

[torn gale]

At least Murray showed up in the first half. Where has mpj been the entire playoffs

[weak gull]

Was gone say, not like Murray is the one to blame fr tonight lol

[calm mulch]

my apologies, i wasn't familiar with your game.

[hollow wind]

100%

[calm mulch]

Every year there is always injuries but this run by the Celtics truly feels like a mickey mouse ring if they win

[weak gull]

Nature of the game. I won’t root for boston at all even if the pacers had help

[calm mulch]

Like, my team is hurt as well

[weak gull]

Thank you

the pacers are dogshit

Now they layed an egg and gave us Minny

ain't nobody wants to play a team that plays defense

Gafford about to be a minus -800 and force Lively to play 40+ minutes every game

and Lively is a toothpick next to Naz and Gobert

This. They’d get hoed by a healthy Bucks or Knicks in 5

[worthy dust]

healthy bucks are ass, pacers still winning.

[somber haven]

Crippled bucks took em to 6

[worthy dust]

doc rivers can’t coach a team with stars

[fleet orbit]

Jokic and Murray got no support tonight

[weak gull]

I was gone say. The bucks the one who decided to go with fucking doc rivers

[calm mulch]

bench had 5 points combined lmao

[fleet orbit]

Doc rivers can’t coach will suffice

[fleet orbit]

And Porter and Gordon sucked too

[somber haven]

Who sells harder in the playoffs, Doc Rivers or Celtics

[calm mulch]

If the Knicks had like literally 3 starters injured this series. And it took the Pacers 7 games to kill them

imagine making Josh Hart look good

[fleet orbit]

Doc , Celtics have made the finals without doc

[calm mulch]

Yeah, Pierce and KG openly talked about how they were the ones making adjustments in the playoffs

[timid swift]

Denver could’ve avoid the wolves if they didn’t rest vs the spurs

[calm mulch]

while Doc just watched

[somber haven]

Knicks squad (Healthy except Randle) beats them in 5 max

[calm mulch]

Tyrese Haliburton is so overrated

[timid swift]

Fans should learn to not chant we want boston

[somber haven]

Thank you

[amber wind]

Take that back

[somber haven]

LMFAO

where do you find these

[fleet orbit]

Pacers finally playing a mostly healthy team , reality is biting them in the ass soon

[somber haven]

and I’m here for it🗣️

[calm mulch]

oh i have a folder ready just for every damn moment

[somber haven]

Who wants front row tickets for the pacers downfall

[warm kestrel]

2023-24 NBA Playoffs:

Western Conference Finals:

#5. Dallas Mavericks vs. #3. Minnesota Timberwolves

Eastern Conference Finals:

#1. Boston Celtics vs. #6. Indiana Pacers

[timid swift]

I don’t care who wins the chip, anyone but the Celtics

[weak gull]

I’ve never seen folks hate a team from Indiana so much bruh😭

[calm mulch]

Pacers be like :

[novel slate]

Tyrese’s light skin energy has people mad

[timid swift]

This pacers team reminds me of the hawks

[fleet orbit]

I dont hate the pacers I just think reality is coming

[weak gull]

Something has to, it’s ridiculous in here lol

[simple seal]

This was gonna be any East team apart from Boston lmao

[fleet orbit]

All I want rn is the Timberwolves to win the title

[timid swift]

We said this before the knicks matchup

[weak gull]

Y’all are acting like they don’t know they have played some inferior versions of said teams

Reality is they just play who they get lol

[fleet orbit]

And the Knicks also had a bunch of injuries

[timid swift]

It’s time to give pacers their flowers

[amber wind]

Pacers acting like they won a championship by beating hospital teams smh

[calm mulch]

This year in specific feels actually mickey for the Celtics, they've been given a finals appearance

[worthy dust]

the irony is insane

[fleet orbit]

Doesn’t matter expectations are they finish the job at this point

[torn gale]

Real

[calm mulch]

First of all, if the Celtics were on the west they don't get 60+ wins

[fleet orbit]

Celtics still finish top 4 in the west imho

[amber wind]

Giannis was also injured

[calm mulch]

they do

[weak gull]

Nobody will. Teams get injured and others benefit every year, the hate is cyclical

[calm mulch]

but they disparity is much smaller

the difference between the first seed and the second seed in the east is the same difference as the first seed and the 6th seed in the west.... Just think about it

[fleet orbit]

The thing that could hurt the Celtics is they are very 3 heavy

But they are going up against a team that doesn’t play great defense

[amber wind]

Will Tatum finally realize he's 6'10

[calm mulch]

Both the Mavs and the Twolves play a lot of defense, one of the highest ratings in the NBA. They will see.

[fleet orbit]

Tatum is frustrating sometimes , the dudes talent is undeniable and his bag is great , he’s just so streaky

[calm mulch]

will Tingus Pingus realize he is 7'3 ?

KP is the tallest short king

dude plays like he is 4'8

[toxic canyon]

MINNESOTA BEAT DENVER LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[timid swift]

“My matchup is kyrie” - ant, it’s over for the mavs 😂

[amber wind]

If I was 7'3 I'd be averaging 30 pts

[rustic mountain]

Wolves won?

[weak gull]

Yes

[hasty basin]

https://tenor.com/view/anthonyedwards-ant-edwards-ant-strokes-wolves-back-gif-7025898362826077543

[rustic mountain]

Seems people over reacted when they were down but glad to see em pull it off

[calm mulch]

The west bloodbath has been crazy

I wonder will the media hate on Luka Doncic this time though

[amber wind]

Would've been better if the pacers were eliminated

[rustic mountain]

Here's to a good NBA conference finals, besides Boston

[calm mulch]

they'll need to slander their pookie bears no matter what if they want to hate

[fleet orbit]

I think the Celtics will get the hate , Luka will not

[fleet orbit]

I think Luka is a great player he just sometimes begs for calls

[torn gale]

Unless the lead is 30+ I think the gap is doable but it takes a total team effort

[rustic mountain]

Any advantage you can get I suppose

[torn gale]

The nuggets kept bricking and the wolves made their shots and played smart

[calm mulch]

15 point leads in the NBA are legitimately nothing in today's game

[torn gale]

They totally shut down in the third quarter

[calm mulch]

i'm not trolling

[amber wind]

No more mvp convo's for jokic yay

[fleet orbit]

Jokic and Murray got no help

[rustic mountain]

Idk where they are now but people were saying it was Joever when they were down 10

[torn gale]

Yeah teams get hot really fast

[calm mulch]

the game today means a 15 pt lead can be over in less than 2 minutes

[worthy dust]

agreed tonight and last night is proof

[fleet orbit]

Jokic was not even close to the issue tonight , people just hatin

[torn gale]

Idk why they’d say that lol. 10 points is nothing

Even the Knicks earlier

They got it to 6 before they ran out of steam

[calm mulch]

in the early 2000s if a team had a 15 point lead at the 3rd quarter the they putting out their 3rd string

[rustic mountain]

You can scroll up earlier in the chat it's there somewhere but yeh I think the pressure of playoffs just gets to people

[torn gale]

Wasnt the main issue but he didn’t really play to his standards completely

[calm mulch]

today it's still a ball game

[rustic mountain]

I am sure Imma be a mess tomorrow too

[weak gull]

Why I hate talking NBA, all filled with blame and hating ass folks lol

[somber haven]

I kept telling em that was a little soon to get hopeful

[rustic mountain]

Ahh yeh

No worries

[fleet orbit]

But I will say this ; for all the love that Edwards has been getting , towns has had a great playoffs too

[calm mulch]

Jokic was the only one consistently playing in the series. Everyone else vanished at some point

[fleet orbit]

He was really good tonight

[rustic mountain]

Not hating, just an observation is all

Like I said, glad the Wolves won

[calm mulch]

I'm not glad at all

i gotta see them next round

[rustic mountain]

My Oil plays tomorrow so I'll be right there being hysterical too

And well best of luck to you both

[calm mulch]

nobody scoring more than 70 in the series

i hope Adam Silver is happy

[celest zephyr]

Jokic is going to go full lebron

And build a super team

[torn gale]

I’m pretty sure the wolves have held the nuggets under 100 3 or 4 times this season

[rustic mountain]

I mean tbh the Mavs were either drawing a great young wolves team or drawing Jokic so like

[calm mulch]

the definition of a super team changed

[rustic mountain]

Was gonna be hard

[torn gale]

Kevin Durant you are now a Denver nugget

[rustic mountain]

If super team shit comes back I am way out of the NBA loop even further. Won't even recognize a basketball

[fleet orbit]

The super team is long gone don’t worry about it

[rustic mountain]

Some of the worst stuff to happen to the nba. Thanks Boston

[torn gale]

Mavs have a very hard series ahead of them

[timid swift]

I really want lebron to go to golden state next year

[torn gale]

But the mavs are being underrated I feel

They’re a really good basketball team

[timid swift]

Wolves in 4, wolves are too tall for the mavs sorry

[calm mulch]

the hardest road.

[fleet orbit]

The cap management and logistics are not viably realistic anymore and teams will trade their assets for a one and done

Super teams are dead

Lebron isn’t leaving LA

Is that your all time five?

[novel slate]

Yeah me included

[torn gale]

July 22nd LeBron is joining the warriors with ad

[short flame]

Which one is you?

[fleet orbit]

I absolutely hate the whole Edwards Jordan stuff

Edwards is amazing , I’m fond of his game , but let the dude have his own career

[novel slate]

Right here

[fleet orbit]

To be a 2nd round exit

[torn gale]

The warriors worked out so well because:
They already had a really well built team
Curry was being severely underpaid

[simple seal]

Luka vs Ant for the custody of Booker

[rustic mountain]

I do have to say, part of me wants the Wolves to take it. Actually a big part because the Pacers are from Indiana and the state knows nothing but teams that bitch about shit, Boston Celtics have racist ass fans and a lot of em are cocky douche nozzles (much like Bruins) and the Mavs have Kyrie

[amber wind]

Ur being too nice

[timid swift]

Why would I do that when it’s legal in my state now

[fleet orbit]

You can’t talent your way through a roster that doesn’t mesh

[short flame]

See @rustic mountain he keeps showing up

[timid swift]

Please man I’m praying for this to happen everyday

[rustic mountain]

Who

[torn gale]

Yeah the warriors weren’t just top heavy

[fleet orbit]

Yeah I’m not a Kyrie fan either

[rustic mountain]

Oh Stephen

[torn gale]

Really deep teams

[rustic mountain]

Just don't play the video man

Ez

[short flame]

Stephen A

[torn gale]

Would be very cool

[short flame]

I know I’m joking

[torn gale]

Ad and LeBron need to hop on to the warriors

Rob pelinka can’t be trusted

[timid swift]

Steph ad bron and dray, ring me

[torn gale]

Neither can jeanie

[fleet orbit]

When people talk about the Miami heat they have to realize a huge reason that super team worked was Chris Bosh

[short flame]

How did you make this list?

[novel slate]

“Send da video” really changed ant for the better

[fleet orbit]

Dray should be traded and not Thompson

[rustic mountain]

Golden State needs to stay away from the NBA finals for a very long time

[amber wind]

Just like MJ "fuck them kids"

[toxic canyon]

Mavs vs Timberwolves

[novel slate]

It’s a family tree!!

[torn gale]

Dray shouldn’t

[amber wind]

So inspirational

[timid swift]

I’d rather have drays triple singles over thompson zero pts

[rustic mountain]

If I have to see that bridge logo in the finals again, I am pretty sure I'll lose my mind

[torn gale]

Dray is their point forward and anchor on D. Despite the antics he’s a really smart player. I feel he works better with this system than if he went anywhere else

[fleet orbit]

But Klay won’t get suspended for assaulting someone

[short flame]

Oh but did you build it yourself or did you use a website?

[torn gale]

Seeing the trio broken up is sad

[rustic mountain]

Draymond Green is a blight upon the NBA

[fleet orbit]

Warriors haven’t developed or drafted great young talent and they are finally paying for it

[fleet orbit]

He’s a thug

[proud coyote]

wow

I cannot BELIEVE the nuggets lost that

[torn gale]

The duality of the exciting mavs vs wolves vs the matchup of all time between the Celtics and pacers

[proud coyote]

I turned it off at the half

[amber wind]

James Wiseman's fault for being ass

[timid swift]

You need a dawg like dray on your team

[torn gale]

I could

Just needed a run

And man they stunk it up

In the 3rd quarter

It was really bad watching that whole thing

[fleet orbit]

That one really hurt the warriors who desperately needed a big

[rustic mountain]

You need someone who will grind, not someone who will punch his own teammate

[proud coyote]

now now lol

[toxic canyon]

Naz Ried with the clutch plays in the 4th quarter

[timid swift]

That’s gotta be racist

😂😂

[fleet orbit]

He is , he punches and assaults other players , it’s classless

Most players don’t do that and most people go to jail for hurting others

[weak gull]

Yeah, I’d watch the thug word in general these days lol

[torn gale]

Naz Reid was clutch but mcdaniels and kat kept them in the game and brought them back

Gobert was solid too

Whole team effort

[rustic mountain]

I don't think Lebowski meant it in that way but yeah be careful man

[proud coyote]

i honestly like the NBA with players like draymond in it

so i refuse to shit on him

[torn gale]

Even ant who shot terribly made shots when it counted

[timid swift]

Imagine if meta plays in todays nba

[toxic canyon]

McDaniels is basically the key to their offense, Ant was right

[torn gale]

I’m surprised at Jamal Murray

[rustic mountain]

I don't like Draymond himself. I like dudes who are tough, grind, stand up for their team, but Draymond takes it legit too far

[rustic ore]

Wow, no repeat champ, I legit can't call it now

[torn gale]

How did he not get more involved especially in the third

[fleet orbit]

I just don’t get why in sports things that most people get arrested for are okay

Grayson Allen is a thug too

[torn gale]

Wolves, Celtics, mavs, pacers in my opinion

Of best chances to win it all

[proud coyote]

I think the celts are the big favorite here

assuming zingis is healthy

[torn gale]

Oh yeah they are

[fleet orbit]

I think Celtics probs should be considered the favorites but it seems like there’s a consensus that people are expecting them to fumble the bag

[torn gale]

But to me I feel like the wolves can take it

It’s close though

[fleet orbit]

The wolves can absolutely take it

[torn gale]

Maybe I’m still hyped off the game lol

[timid swift]

And ja morant?

[slow violet]

I can Wolves in 4

[torn gale]

Minnesota deserves this

[amber wind]

Are the Celtics classy

[torn gale]

Minnesota fans need something

[toxic canyon]

whoever wins the conference final is my favorite for the chip. Mavs or Wolves

[weak gull]

Because it’s a sport lol. Youd need a tort and there’s a lot of reasons why that wouldn’t come up

Assumption of risk as well

[toxic canyon]

I like both teams

[fleet orbit]

The players ? Idk

Boston as a sports city ? No they aren’t

Morant didn’t physically assault another player , he did make a dumb mistake tho. And it’s too bad he got injured right after serving his time

[torn gale]

As long as boston loses I’m all good

[slow violet]

ngl I kind of wanted to see Jokic vs Luka

[torn gale]

But did you want to see another mpj brick fest?

[rustic mountain]

It'd been fun but this is fun too

[timid swift]

Fat bowl

[toxic canyon]

Luka vs Ant trash talking will feed families tho

[fleet orbit]

He was so bad this series

[toxic canyon]

Luka my bad lol

they're both big talkers

[amber wind]

Luka won't even talk to ant

[torn gale]

Nuggets the whole playoffs really haven’t been amazing. Not looking like defending champs at least most of the time

[amber wind]

He'd just cry to the refs

[fleet orbit]

Edwards is a big talker too he’s also a big gamer

[torn gale]

But my god some players absolutely crapped the bed

[toxic canyon]

yea not a big fan of the Celtics

[torn gale]

You’re crazy if you think that lol

[fleet orbit]

The Celtics winning would just be boring they have almost 20

[toxic canyon]

I don't even know why I just don't like them

[torn gale]

Luka is a huge trash talker

[fleet orbit]

It’s like the Yankees winning

[slow violet]

I don't see the Mavs having a chance against twolves tbh guys

[timid swift]

Mavs have a rookie center on their starting lineup, I don’t see the mavs winning a game this series

[torn gale]

Because it’s boston you don’t need any other reason

[torn gale]

He doesn’t play like a rookie

[toxic canyon]

what lmao, Luka is one of the biggest trash talkers and trollers of the league lol

[fleet orbit]

I don’t see the Mavs getting swept

[torn gale]

Lively has been great this okayoffs

Don’t underestimate because he’s a rookie

[amber wind]

Also one of the biggest crybabies

[torn gale]

Mavs are being underrated

They’re a really good basketball team

[fleet orbit]

I think the Mavs will need Luka and Kyrie to be a lot better , that wolves perimeter defense is so good

[toxic canyon]

you don't see them winning a single game?? That's kinda exaggerating a little

[torn gale]

Mavs are getting a game off at least

They’re a good team

Wolves aren’t perfect

[amber wind]

Wolves have MJ

[toxic canyon]

I think it's Tatum and Brown, I don't fuck with those guys

[torn gale]

Wolves have offensive woes

[slow violet]

Like Kyrie will have to put the world on his back if they ever want to win this series. Luckily for him, it's only a disc

[torn gale]

They went down 20 in a game 7.

Mavs have a good D

[fleet orbit]

I think Towns deserves some credit

[toxic canyon]

Kyrie will have to return to his 2016 old self to get through that wolves defense

bring those smooth ass handles back in fold

[amber wind]

They're 0.3 below the wolves

[torn gale]

Ant was horrific at shooting tonight. But he did make timely shots and defensive plays

[amber wind]

Which is suprising

[fleet orbit]

Kyrie is a frustrating player to watch because I feel like sometimes he gets so passive when the Mavs need him to impose his will on the game

[torn gale]

What’s 0.3 mean

[toxic canyon]

true

[torn gale]

Deserves all the praise and love

[fleet orbit]

He’s talking about defensive rating

[torn gale]

He kept the team in the game

And was great against jokic defensively

[amber wind]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/707414546301583403/1241941271027777617/Screenshot_20240520-053040_Chrome.jpg?ex=664c0771&is=664ab5f1&hm=0d8996b08ed51cd9c75c1215ea3c0b7fe96f004cc0ea3bbe75c6b638f44758dc&

[torn gale]

Ah defensive rating

Yeah they’re pretty good on defense

[slow violet]

If Mavs win a single game I would be amazed

[torn gale]

I don’t see the mavs going out without a fight

Why would you? They’re really good

[toxic canyon]

damn still a bit hurt over Orlando...

[fleet orbit]

I really don’t see the Mavs getting swept

I think wolves in 6

[torn gale]

I’d bet a lot on the mavs not getting swept

[toxic canyon]

Mavs aren't getting swept there's no way

[torn gale]

Only team to get swept thus far are the sons

And the pelicans

And well….

[fleet orbit]

Because the suns don’t have a true point guard

[amber wind]

Suns getting swept is still crazy to me

[toxic canyon]

Lakers lowkey

[torn gale]

Suns have 3 ball dominate scorers and then randomly generated 2k players to fill out the team

What big do they even have besides nurkic

Why did they go after Beal???????

He has a no trade clause lol

[fleet orbit]

Beal made the suns redundant , pure scorers aren’t nearly as valuable as they used to be

[torn gale]

LeGOAT would never get swept in round one of the playoffs

Yeah I don’t understand going after Beal

[fleet orbit]

When Durant was with the warriors , you were given Kevin Durant the easiest shots of his entire life and leaving a lethal weapon wide open due to spacing , so of course the suns had almost no spacing for the entire round of the playoffs

[torn gale]

Booker and durant are more than good enough for scoring

[slow violet]

Lol someone yesterday said that there would never be another American born MVP. I can see ANT winning a couple of he keeps growing like this

[amber wind]

That was me

[torn gale]

Luka better win at least one mvp

He was my mvp this year

[amber wind]

Giannis is winning all the MVPs unfortunately

[torn gale]

I’m so sad he didn’t get it

[fleet orbit]

Edwards can win mvp someday

[torn gale]

34/9/9 on a 50 win team

Seeding really messed things up

He was my mvp

[slow violet]

I don't see Luka getting an MVP if he is constantly having to compete against jokic

[amber wind]

After this jokic surely has voter's fatigue now

Luka has a massive chance now

[slow violet]

I guess that's true

On another note yo WTF

The pacers had 62% FG% lol bruh those are 2K numbers

[fleet orbit]

Yeah they shot lights out

[amber wind]

I thought it was 70%

[slow violet]

nah they set an NBA record today

Guys can we all agree

The Celtics are on the most Mickey Mouse Run Ever

[worthy dust]

you’re a sick man if you enjoy nuggets downfall

[slow violet]

Nah nuggets are a fun team to watch but I get people don't like repeat championships

Plus let's be honest Denver fans 👀 let's be honest ok

[sweet tree]

I wanted them to repeat but it's good to see other teams win as well

[slow violet]

I am happy that it's at least the timberwolves

It would suck ass if it was the Lakers

[amber grove]

2 Game 7s today and this was still the best moment in sports today

[dim ledge]

my goat

[slow violet]

One thing I noticed denver never won when Mike Conley was on the floor

[slow violet]

Hopefully we don't suck again 😭

[dim ledge]

itll be an adjustment for sure

but i have confidence in our front office

the main thing is to not instantly put our minds to "klopp 2 time"

[torn gale]

Guess I’m sick

[novel slate]

Jokic doesn’t deserve to fall, but sacrifices must be made

[torn gale]

Nuggets deserve to fall

[torn gale]

Wolves saved the summer from jokic top 10 talks

[slow violet]

Please Wolves vs Pacers 🙏

[worthy dust]

mavs pacers 🙏🏽

[rustic ore]

[slow violet]

they have a rookie QB

who else they gonna pay but jefferson?

i think their on the books for 1 year of Kirk or maybe i am wrong

[calm mulch]

i want indiana vs twolves

so i can see adam silver have a heart attack

[slow violet]

anything that doesn't have the celtics in it , i am fine with tbh

[rustic mountain]

I think it's gonna be Celtics Wolves

[calm mulch]

More like you want the twolves to win

[rustic mountain]

Well tbh yall employ Kyrie

So yeah

[calm mulch]

Can't do anything about that sadly

[rustic mountain]

Oh I know

It's just the nature of it

[calm mulch]

He changed a lot since he came to Dallas though, idk if he felt accepted or remorse for his behavior in the past

[rustic mountain]

I hate the Browns too for employing Deshaun Watson but here we be

[calm mulch]

but last press interview he talked about his maturing or whatever

Kyrie is currently the leader of the team, since baby Luka can only complain about fouls when he is not playing the game

so the voice in the locker room is kyrie

[rustic mountain]

Eh. He made it clear to me who he is. I hope he learns more, but I have my doubts. I hope that genuinely things are different

Btw

Not equating Kyrie to Deshaun

I just dislike both

[torn gale]

Why is luka so targeted with this complaining lol. He does complain but he’s toned it down I feel and the whole league has a complaining problem

[calm mulch]

He toned it down in game 5

Game 6 he was back at it, just not to his outlandish standards

game 4 made me genuinely hate Luka for a while

and overall i lost some respect seeing him complain about calls every, damn, possession

[torn gale]

lol

[slow violet]

i mean when the fine only 100k and you got a fully guaranteed contract lol

[celest zephyr]

The nba refs are bitches

[calm mulch]

Rudy Gobert lost 175k dollars by doing money signs this season only lmao

[celest zephyr]

Scott foster and tony brothers suck balls

Zarba is ass also

[calm mulch]

i wonder if this 175k are before or after tax

[torn gale]

Murray did the same money sign as gobert and got no fine lol

[calm mulch]

if it's after taxes then it's a diabolical fine

[worthy dust]

scott and both brothers should be fired

[celest zephyr]

Nba has too many bad refs who are still refing in big games cuz omg they have experience

[torn gale]

Shoot Dallas should sign me next for the vet min

[calm mulch]

i can stop any player in the NBA, 6 times to be exact

[torn gale]

If you can recognize the ref name and feel dread it’s over

When I hear Tony brothers I just shake my head

[torn gale]

Just sub you in clutch time to stop the opposing star easy.

[slow violet]

there is no way Mark didn't pass him a 50 piece after the game

Put me in to take a charge at a crucial moment

Get trucked by LeBron or jokic

[rustic mountain]

LeBron and Jokic are so huge I can't even imagine getting slammed into by them

I am also like a short dude with only a bit of strength to him lmao Id be done

[calm mulch]

depends on how low you tackle... The problem is getting a flagrant 2 and being ejected from the game before 6 fouls...

[celest zephyr]

The weirdest thing I’ve seen by a defending champ is the nuggets just giving up with like a minute left down by 8

They just stopped trying

4th as a whole they looked deflated

[rustic mountain]

I am 5'7", 190 man

I ain't doing shit to them but going splat

Lmao

[celest zephyr]

Ran the shot clock out like they were up by 10 not down by 10

[calm mulch]

[celest zephyr]

Shit man 190 at 5’7” ain’t that skinny

Could definitely leg tackle someone

[rustic mountain]

I used to be a lot lot bigger, so I am actually happy at my size rn

But yeh would get fucked up

[torn gale]

https://tenor.com/view/sheldon-brown-reggie-bush-hit-gif-4545829

[celest zephyr]

Some safeties/corners aren’t that tall and still truck some people

[calm mulch]

Jokic 6'10 with 280lbs lol

and that's me rounding it down

[rustic mountain]

I'd be dead

[celest zephyr]

Fair enough

If I saw a guy built like Zion barreling at me I’d shit my pants

[rustic mountain]

I was built to be a nerd and that's fine, they make jerseys in my size and I can wear em that's enough lol

[calm mulch]

Joel Embiid is even scarier, imagine being under the rim while he simply lets go of his body trying to get the foul

300lbs free falling onto you

[celest zephyr]

Flopping guys are scary

I wouldn’t even try to be under the rim lol

I’m only 6’1”

I’d be giving up like 10 inches rofl

And 60-70 pounds minimum

[calm mulch]

Kevin Durant has said one of the reasons for his longevity is staying tf away from guys like him

he called them "crash dummies"

[celest zephyr]

Yeah for sure

[calm mulch]

And i agree, wholeheartedly

[celest zephyr]

Just try to be physical and prevent them from getting to their spots then run tf away once they get any momentum

Taking a charge takes such large balls

[calm mulch]

depending on who it is, otherwise it's just reckless

i wouldn't try to take a charge on a smaller player as well if they were Ja Morant for example

he just tries to get the dunk regardless of how he is going to land

[celest zephyr]

Yeah some athletic dudes aren’t worth it

Or big guys

I ain’t trying to take a charge on lebron lol

Maybe if it’s Jamal Murray

[celest zephyr]

I'm not ready for this shit, it's either going to be a great day or canucks finna ruin this whole month 😭

[robust grotto]

it’s just a gut wrenching experience

This is going to be something else. EDM def has more on the line than VAN

[rustic mountain]

I've been nervous and excited all day

Really wanna pull this out. I want Drai to have a reason to sign back

Even if we don't get past Dallas, it feels like our future with Drai is hinged upon this game

[robust grotto]

It’s not what you want to hear but I don’t think he’s going to stay. Just personal opinion, nothing more. EDM will definitely have money for him and McDavid but Draisaitl specifically I’m just not sold he’ll stay

[rustic mountain]

If he doesn't he doesn't

[slow violet]

https://vxtwitter.com/stephenasmith/status/1792660990296801488

[rustic mountain]

But the best thing we can do is just try to go as far as we can this year

If we are able to show Drai we are serious maybe he will consider it

Especially if we win tonight and get into the WCF. I think it would be enough to go "look Drai, stay with McDavid and let's go after it but retooling"

[robust grotto]

Rumors are the Holland is leaving after the season so you’ll have a new GM too

Maybe they can sell a better vision

[slow violet]

WTF game one is tomorrow

i thought they had 3 days

[rustic mountain]

I think they can. Idk I think that McDavid is going to get any amount he wants

But you might be right

Drai may be gone

But I think we can keep both if we go further than tonight

[robust grotto]

Money won’t be an issue for EDM, they’ll give Draisaitl the bag 100%

[rustic mountain]

Oh I am not worried on money

[robust grotto]

Yeah you get it

[rustic mountain]

I am worried on how do we sell Edmonton to Drai

[robust grotto]

It’s just going to be him wanting a new challenge or lifestyle

[rustic mountain]

And the only way to do it is honestly winning like if he wants gone fine that's on him

But I'd rather try the only way we can

That’s it dude, they all need to win

I think his girl is Canadian too, not that it really is a reason to stay but you never know, sometimes it comes down to stuff like that

[rustic mountain]

If we lose tonight, I am like 80% sure Drai is gonna be traded or something since this is his last year

[robust grotto]

Oh wait I thought he had another season

He’s a UFA this July ??

[rustic mountain]

Sorry

Misspoke

Meant like

[robust grotto]

Next July

[rustic mountain]

This coming year is his last

Yeah

[robust grotto]

Gotcha

[rustic mountain]

Sorry my bad

But I still think we look to trade if he makes it clear he isn't resigning

[robust grotto]

The position that EDM are in, they’ll have run it back. They won’t trade him bc they won’t find even 3 players that can replace him

[rustic mountain]

True

Hmmm. Well hopefully we just win tonight and not worry on it for a bit more lmao

[robust grotto]

Hahah exactly, tonight isn’t the night for this convo although I get it

[rustic mountain]

Man we still have to pay McDavid again, Evan Bouchard too

[robust grotto]

Bouchard deserves too

[rustic mountain]

Bouch I really want to keep

[robust grotto]

Nurse hasn’t earned a lick of his deal

[rustic mountain]

No he needs gone

I wish we could trade him away tbh

[robust grotto]

Feel that

[rustic mountain]

But

[robust grotto]

Not easy

[rustic mountain]

Idk who would even take him

Like Bouch shoulda got his deal

[robust grotto]

No one lol you have to trade money and take back bad deals

[rustic mountain]

Yep exactly

[robust grotto]

Not worth unless Nurse is toxic in the room, which I doubt but possible I guess

[rustic mountain]

Some writer on BR was like "what if the flames traded for Nurse and gave Huberdeau"

And I was like wtf lmao

[rustic mountain]

I think he is fine. Tbh the Edmonton locker room is pretty strong

[robust grotto]

I think he’s fine too! I just tried thinking of some justification

[rustic mountain]

There's not really a player I could name that is like a massive problem character wise

Ah gotcha

[robust grotto]

The reality is he makes way too much money for way too many years

[rustic mountain]

Oh he def does

I have zero clue why we gave him that deal

Like I said. Bouch shoulda got that but like how is one to know

[robust grotto]

It’s kinda the trend to start paying players early

Leafs did that for example

[rustic mountain]

It doesn't seem to be working at all lol

Maybe stop rewarding players who haven't done anything yet

[robust grotto]

No… it’s so tough. Especially for a defender like Nurse

[rustic mountain]

I need to check the lines tonight

See who he is paired with

Ah with Vin

That works

Keeping Ekholm and Bouch is right

[robust grotto]

Ekholm was probably the best trade Holland made

[rustic mountain]

He has worked amazingly

I love his presence on the team

He is one of my favorite players, though Idk about a jersey. I think a Bouchard is next

[robust grotto]

Yeah gotta go for a younger guy there!

[rustic mountain]

and one that won't be gone in 2 years and make my jersey obsolete a bit

I don't mind having the Drai and McDavid because they are forever tied to Edmonton's history

[robust grotto]

They really are, those two are timeless

[rustic mountain]

You got some Rangers jerseys yeah?
