[tight sapphire]

when i was a kid i deadass always thought the nuggets were based off of chicken nuggets

[urban cloud]

Starting lineup had 17 threes

[ember anchor]

I wasn’t

[wintry valley]

if tatum hit his freethrows he'd be at 40pts

[sage mauve]

BLOWOUT BABIES

[ebon raven]

Ditto

[tight sapphire]

u weren’t scared of the kings you were scared of the celtics

[sage mauve]

Grant MIP

[young jetty]

[ember anchor]

Damn almost up by 30

[wintry valley]

im scared of tatum not showing up

[ember anchor]

[sage mauve]

[urban cloud]

[tight sapphire]

W

[wintry valley]

we wouldve only lost by 5 if our bench didnt exist tonight lmfaooo

actually no

[tight sapphire]

W

[wintry valley]

starting 5 scored a combined 111 points

[midnight reef]

Last season starting 5 with d white in place of smart is special

[ebon raven]

No longer dreading every game

[covert tree]

lol

jayson tatum bounce back game

W.

[wintry valley]

if tatum plays like this for the remainder of the season maybe he'll beat the bum allegations

[covert tree]

fax

and if rob can stay healthy

[lilac badge]

W celtics

[tight sapphire]

would u rather have white or smart start

[covert tree]

beat the kings by 22 points

[covert tree]

smart lol

but goddamn he airballed like 3 threes 🤣

[lilac badge]

at least we're better than the sixers again

[covert tree]

tatum also missed like 5 fts lol

[wintry valley]

we were never worse

[lilac badge]

higher seeded*

[wintry valley]

it was an overnight record thing

[winged horizon]

Desperately need Rob to stay healthy. This team is different when the starting 5 are all out there

[lilac badge]

facts

[covert tree]

the kings started off hot as SHIT @tight sapphire

i was getting a little worried

[wintry valley]

if he's injured by playoffs im gonna lose all hope

[tight sapphire]

ngl i didn’t watch this game

i was out

i did keep up with scores tweets and box scores though

[covert tree]

yeah

Well this was definitely a huge bounce back one

[tight sapphire]

i might do the rewatch when it’s available

[wintry valley]

if we manage to beat the bucks next time we meet them then #1 seed might be attainable

[tight sapphire]

or highlights on youtube

[raw sand]

RARE TATUM EFFICIENCY NIGHT??? (ignore 3pt)

[tight sapphire]

2 games back

[wintry valley]

i think we can win these next 2 games so

[tight sapphire]

would be 1 had we not sucked against teams we shouldn’t have sucked against

[covert tree]

Tatum played great, Rob helped out, offense looking like its old self, and held the #1 scoring offense in the league to just 109 points. Need to keep this up though.

[tight sapphire]

if only we beat the rockets and jazz

[covert tree]

yeah

still #2 seed

[ebon raven]

Classic

[tight sapphire]

52-21 sounds a lot better than 50-23

[covert tree]

• sixers are foul merchants and chokers LOL

[covert tree]

it does

and even better

we get another 2 days of rest before playing a bad team

[raw sand]

LETS GOOOO

[covert tree]

more time to rob to get active

[raw sand]

50TH WIN

[tight sapphire]

ah getting the bucks schedule treatment i see

[covert tree]

and condition

[tight sapphire]

feels nice

[covert tree]

their schedule is harder than ours

lol

[tight sapphire]

[covert tree]

we have the easiest REMAINING schedule

[ebon raven]

My mental health has officially bounced back

[covert tree]

only bucks and sixers

thats it

[wintry valley]

take sixers off

theyre easy

[covert tree]

yeah

bucks

[tight sapphire]

i mean the back to back 2 days off to play shit teams

[ebon raven]

Bucks will be tough

[covert tree]

and they're not even hard

and the kings aren't either

defense is asscheeks

[tight sapphire]

might as well say the hardest remaining with how we play against bad teams

[ebon raven]

Our defense is too

[covert tree]

lets make sure we don't allow 138 to the pacers

[covert tree]

what??

@tight sapphire LOL

[tight sapphire]

we beat the pacers that game tho

[raw sand]

why did i expect our record to be 58-24

[tight sapphire]

my guy

who’s ur dealer

[covert tree]

we have the 4th ranked defense and held the number 1 offense to 109 points

our defense is superb lol

[tight sapphire]

is sacramento really the #1 offense

[wintry valley]

i predicted our record to be 61-21

[tight sapphire]

good for them

[wintry valley]

damn i was jaded

[covert tree]

scoring offense

i wanna see them make finals ROFL

[tight sapphire]

we could easily have won 60 games this season if we didn’t become a play in team after the asb

[wintry valley]

kings v celtics finals would go wild

[covert tree]

especially in a competitive west

[wintry valley]

not gonna happen tho

[covert tree]

Yeah

lol

[tight sapphire]

kings vs knicks would go wild

[ember anchor]

Tbh don’t see a difference with rob in

[warm walrus]

W

[covert tree]

we need to win 10 straight

[covert tree]

he just got back lol he's obviously not gonna show the same explosiveness

[raw sand]

we will

[raw sand]

youll see

[covert tree]

he's only played like 30 sum games

[ember anchor]

Street clothes rob

[wintry valley]

huh?

[tight sapphire]

well we shouldn’t even rely on rob as much as we do

[ember anchor]

Exactly

[tight sapphire]

we learned to play fine without him before he came back, and when he came back it’s like we forgot how to play without relying on him

[ember anchor]

Tatum gotta be him like tonight

[raw sand]

rare efficiency night

[wintry valley]

i dont understand this take

can you explain

[ember anchor]

Rob can’t stay healthy done

[tight sapphire]

i heard it best oh john karalis’ podcast

but basically, the defense slacks off a little and kinda lets people blow by them sometimes cuz they know they can rely on rob to block the shot or contest it or whatnot

also wtf is this

[ember anchor]

Boi!!!!!!

[tight sapphire]

brown plays more games than ad and kyrie combined

is a much better defender than booker and kyrie

[ember anchor]

Lmao

[tight sapphire]

and is more consistent than ad

[ember anchor]

And dude got a mask on too

Crazy

[tight sapphire]

dudes face is broken and is more consistent

[ember anchor]

Lmao

[wintry valley]

AD at 100% is better but he's literally never there
