2023-24 NBA (Playoffs!) Thread: Sad Minnesota fan remembers Vikings season is up next (41 Viewers)

[Insein]

Where is the foul? Looks like a good block no?

Body contact. Just missed the block by a second off the back board

 

[Insein]

Every game man. Every game down to the wire.

Weak call, IMO. Let them challenge that ****. Two points for the goaltend, let them play, no foul

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Every game man. Every game down to the wire.

nick nurse, asked about themes of the series: “i’ve decided nothing matters. they kill us on the glass, it goes down to the buzzer. we kill them on the glass, it goes down to the buzzer. joel scores 50, it goes down to the buzzer. brunson scores 47, it goes down to the buzzer.”

 

[The Gator]

One of the best first round series I recall seeing.

NBA is so much fun when the players care.

 

[Insein]

Embiid fouled out. Geez

 

[Zow]

Fun game.

 

[Mister CIA]

Josh Hart redemption game after the critical missed free throw in game 5.

 

[Desert_Power]

Embiid not on the floor is a bit odd...

 

[Insein]

Fitting the Tobias era ends with 0 points from him. Good riddance. Also Lowry retire dude.

 

[Insein]

Also I don't understand how if your nurse you don't get Hield the ball all second half after he was unconscious in that 2nd qtr.

 

[Capella]

Tobias Harris had 0 points. Made 36M this year lmao

 

[scoobus]

Tobias Harris had 0 points. Made 36M this year lmao

39, but who's counting, Way to step up dude haha.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Tobias Harris had 0 points. Made 36M this year lmao

Simmons, Harris, and Brett Brown over Jimmy Butler.

 

[Capella]

Simmons, Harris, and Brett Brown over Jimmy Butler.

That was certainly a decision.

 

[ShamrockPride]

I must be getting soft, cause I'm starting to feel bad for Embiid coming up short year after year.

Knocked off by the Knicks is a new low.

 

[the moops]

240 total minutes for a game for a 5 man team. NY's starters played 213 of those. That seems like it's gotta be a rarified percentage

 

[Juxtatarot]

Now the Sixers, on the other hand, can do some stuff in the offseason.

You excited for Klay Thompson and Gordon Hayward experience?

Thibs gunna kill those poor guys.

Thibs gunna kill those poor guys.

Josh Hart sat for only 15 total minutes over the 6 games.

 

[Insein]

So what's the deal with Siakim? I see him as a Free Agent this year. Why is he not talked about more?

 

[scoobus]

So what's the deal with Siakim? I see him as a Free Agent this year. Why is he not talked about more?

Think it's cause the word is he's extremely likely to re-sign with the Pacers.

 

[Major]

Tobias Harris had 0 points. Made 36M this year lmao

Simmons, Harris, and Brett Brown over Jimmy Butler.

Was the Harris contract worse than Simmons? I never thought that would be possible but man, this guy is awful for that money. I read somewhere he hasn't taken a charge in 360 games

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Knicks 650 points for the series and Sixers 649. Crazy.

Yep. Would be shocked if he didn't re-up with Indy

Knocked off by the Knicks is a new low.

Why? He is a soft, dirty crybaby. Did you root for Darth Vader, Thanos and the wicked witch of the west too?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Embiid not on the floor is a bit odd...

if you're talking about the very end, he fouled out with 11 seconds left.

At least Thanos had a plan

[Anarchy99]

Small sample sizes and some close / not close series make these numbers look odd . . .

Playoff net ratings so far:

BOS-MIA: +/- 17.2
OKC-NOP +/- 16.7
MIN-PHO +/- 16.0
ORL-CLE +/- 7.6
DAL-LAC +/- 5.9
IND-MIL +/- 3.0
DEN/LAL +/- 2.3
NYK/PHI +/- 0.2

 

[Capella]

The new thread title - it's faaaaaaaantastic.

You should have kept a log of all the thread titles through the season on the first post, there were some doozies.

I often wish I did this over the years. Had some ones I’d think of and laugh but can’t remember now (old/have new kid/brain is dead).

no reason he cant put on a fake mustache and a large sombrero and go back in as joe el embido worked on scooby doo all the time take that to the bank bromigos

And Vader helped destroy the Emperor (or did he).

[CGRdrJoe]

Pat Bev got into it with a Bucks fan behind the bench and threw a ball at (towards) him.

https://x.com/worldwidewob/status/1786199789002268787?s=46&t=y6cC9YGHSWmPAqN66itfRA

It was a Pacers fan.

And Beverley is still an idiot

An idiot with a podcast too apparently.

Ain't a big leap to having a podcast nowadays

yeah, but he declined to speak to a reporter because she didn't subscribe to his podcast

So you are all saying that Embiid is worse than Thanos and Vader? I am not sure I am ready to go there, but let's see what happens next season.

He had an interview on Pardon my Take a couple weeks ago where I thought he came across pretty well, much to my surprise. I guess I don't need to rethink my dislike for him after all.

Ron Artest and Ben Wallace Fight in NBA Pacers Pistons Brawl Local HD Broadcast

The "Malice at the Palace" occurred during an NBA game between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons. With seconds remaining, a hard foul by Ron Artest ...

www.youtube.com

The Palace Brawl, all I could think about when I saw Beverly hurl the ball at females in the stands, gender doesn't really matter here.
What really sucks when you watch it is that a guy thinks the ball just ended up there in error and tosses it back to him only to have Beverly whip it right back at him with intent to hurt

That's really disgusting and I think a lengthy suspension should be in place, you cannot have that kind of behavior, no justification for it.
NBA very fortunate this did not get worse or escalate into a disaster

Maybe LeBron just coaches like Bill Russell did.

Read a report that one of the Pacer fans was yelling 'Cancun on three' prior to Beverley's dodgeball throws...
