When he was 22, LeBron was leading flotsam over a dynastic Pistons team to the Finals while Giannis can't even beat a team of rookie upstarts missing their 2 best players with the aid of Middleton, Bledsoe and last year's ROY.

They're just all... so... dumb. And Bledsoe is ass. Did Brogdon get hurt? There's no reason he shouldn't have been out there in the fourth quarter.

That was the most obvious 24 second violation I've ever seen. And the refs got a foul on the Bucks and wasted 24 extra seconds. Such BS.

Side note, a Ken Mauer game is a fixed game.

if philly loses to boston they may as well tank next season

I've noticed a pattern. All the good teams start the third by punching the opposition in the mouth.

Watching a little of the Miami / Philly game. Simmons is good, plenty good. He is smooth and deceptive the way he moves and passes the ball. It's not good for us going forward, hate to say it.

Our play-by-play isn't any better. I like A.C. though, he criticizes and explains when we're playing terribly.

Disagree. Austin Carr is a national treasure. Tom Heinsohn is a dingleberry left around on a toilet seat.

How was this not caught?

Some little playoff tidbits:

—In the 64 minutes Ingles has been off court for the Jazz, they’ve been outscored by 18.7 points per 100 possessions and have an ORating of 95.3. When Ingles is on court, the Jazz’s ORating is 119.3 and overall, the Jazz are outscoring the Thunder by 22.6 points per 100 possessions. The Jazz are a whopping 41.3 points per 100 possessions better with Ingles on court in their series than with him off.

—In the 43 minutes that Mirotic has been off court for the Pelicans, NO has a 95.5 ORating and 119.3 DRating. When he’s on court, NO has a 122.2 ORating and 103 DRating. NO is a crazy 43.4 points per 100 possessions better with him on court than off court.

The Pelicans played 36 minutes against Portland with AD ON court and Mirotic off court. The Pelicans were -11.0 per 100 possessions during those 36 minutes (103.3 ORat, 114.3 DRat).

The Pelicans played 30 minutes against Portland with AD OFF court and Mirotic ON court. The Pelicans were +14.8 per 100 possessions during those 36 minutes (119.7 ORat, 104.9 DRat).

Mirotic was an absolute steal for the Pelicans and Ingles is one if the most underrated players in the league.

NO is a crazy 43.4 points per 100 possessions better with him ON court, you mean.

The Spurs have too many dudes that don't realize they should be playing "old dudes at the Y" basketball.

How old is Durant?

Why is he balding so quickly?

Warriors have more paths to victory than any team I have ever seen. With Curry out, they’re not a potent three point shooting team (even with him they don’t have that many shooters), Durant sucked for most of the game and then padded his stats in the 4th while the Warriors had a 10-13 point lead, and they win by playing shut down defense. Durant is shooting 25% from three these playoffs (10 for 40), 25% on wide open threes and 33% on open threes. This asshole shot 50% on wide open threes, 50% on open threes, and 57% on contested threes in last year’s finals.

Fuck you, Durant.
