OT: NBA Playoffs

[aceboon]

Refs handing out double techs for every disagreement really needs to end. Not sure when it became an automatic thing because when I was a kid it wasn't like this, but the refs just inserted themselves in this Clippers/Mavs game by tossing Porzingis.

The ESPN ref sticking up for his buddies was even better. Nobody wants Porzingis out of the game.

Then he shouldn't have done 2 things that are more or less auto T's.

UConn continues to own Florida

Kemba in crunch time with a big on him.... everyone at home knew the step back was coming.

everyone also knew he was going to hit it

 

[awfuldan]

So good. Kemba was huge tonight. That Raptors series is going to be fun.

 

[aceboon]

That "Walker, stepback" call from Spero Dedes on the call tonight syncs up well with Dave Pasch's from the 2011 BET against Pitt.

 

[Lefty2one]

Thankfully we have this Mavs/Clips series. The first round is an absolute snoozer across the board otherwise.

Luka gotta get his shooting fixed.

It usually is a snooze fest. Best of 5 makes it so much more exciting. That’s the one thing Silver needs to change

Problem with having an 82 game season: You need to reward the teams who did the best during it, otherwise why did you play so many freaking games. So they're constantly trying to find that balance between boring and not a big enough advantage to the best regular season teams. That and 7 game series usually gives between 8 and up to 16 more games of playoff revenue.

Great live reveal of the Coach of the Year presentation to Nick Nurse by his high school coach, then delivery of the trophy by Van Fleet and Lowry.

Got a little misty in my living room.

They also want to guarantee each team/city two home games.

Doing it to Al Horford makes it special
I did like Horford with the Celts - he just looks out of place in Philly

mavs win siiick

luka is the real deal

 

[superjohn]

That's the greatest performance I've ever seen from a 21 year old, kid is gonna be legendary.

A 21 year old on a bum ankle being guarded by Kawhi and PG.

Kobe would be proud. He missed his share of 3's (some airballs) but when the game is on the line (all through the 4th Q and OT, he came up big, bigger, biggest. Not sure I have seen a better playoff game performance. His team down 2-1, Lose this and just pop the bubble,

And welcome to the world of Porzingas. 7' 3" guy will be battling injuries for his entire career.

 

[UconnU]

Luka is unreal good. He makes everything.

Looks like he listened to what you posted Friday night.

 

[OldBosd]

Luka is going to get better which is crazy.

He did it on Kobe's birthday. Somehow feels fitting.

 

[Lefty2one]

A 21 year old on a bum ankle being guarded by Kawhi and PG.

With a very underwhelming supporting cast.

And welcome to the world of orzingas. 7' 3" guy will be battling injuries for his entire career.

That's the only thing that will stop them from winning multiple championships. If they get a big time wing and Porzingis stays healthy it may be lights out for the rest of the league next season.

That's what's crazy, his three point shooting and ft's are subpar for a superstar with his talents. I argued with posters on here who said he was about at his ceiling even before this season started because he's not elite athletically. Just wait until his three point percentage gets to the high 30's and ft's get to mid 80's.
