jammin on the dud (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:35 (two years ago) link

it seems like allen might be able to play in the second game? but maybe not. i read on the athletic today that the hawks are 1-11 on the road since jan 1 against playoff bound teams in either conference. i think the cavs might have a better chance in that one than ppl give them credit for

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:47 (two years ago) link

The hawks defense is bad enough this year that if either her team is hot from 3 the hawks could lose

Heez, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 18:01 (two years ago) link

suit up, then

Nets players have been challenging Ben Simmons in practice and Simmons’ confidence is at ‘an all-time high,’ per @ScoopB

preoffs

ciderpress, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:19 (two years ago) link

apparently the cavs keep their pick from the lavert trade if they lose both these games, perhaps we'll see the first ever play in tank

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:26 (two years ago) link

lol...

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:36 (two years ago) link

my understanding is there's another game later well that is good to hear

rondo sighting

lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:40 (two years ago) link

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:40 (two years ago) link

ben simmons wearing leather shorts to the game

lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:43 (two years ago) link

TNT sideline reporter saying that when he asked simmons if he was wearing leather he said no that his clothes are made out of lamb

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:44 (two years ago) link

caris lavert is allegedly on the court

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:47 (two years ago) link

hes not looking too sharp out there

lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:49 (two years ago) link

lavert is a very inefficient player who has a great stretch for about 6 weeks every season that brings his averages up to semi-respectable levels.

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 23:52 (two years ago) link

nets have stepped out like 5 times so far

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 00:01 (two years ago) link

jeez kyrie is insane

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 April 2022 00:05 (two years ago) link

maybe taking more than half of the season off is good for playing important basketball games

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 00:06 (two years ago) link

Good point

dragic was called for “unnecessary contact to the groin” which does beg the question of what is necessary contact to the groin

nets trying to duck the celtics

lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 01:05 (two years ago) link

garland is gonna be a good playoff player, can break down the defense and make tough shots

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 April 2022 01:06 (two years ago) link

thinking the celtics don’t have a ton to be worried about

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 April 2022 01:13 (two years ago) link

kd playing pretty passive, weird

lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 01:14 (two years ago) link

pat bev picking up three fouls in the first quarter you do love to see it

the cavs offense has died

bow -- and i cant stress this enough -- wow

class project pat (m bison), Saturday, 16 April 2022 01:49 (two years ago) link

trae played easily one of the worst games i’ve ever seen him play in the first half but has been the best player on the floor in the second half and it’s not even really close

J0rdan S., Saturday, 16 April 2022 01:53 (two years ago) link

some great playoff basketball here

J0rdan S., Saturday, 16 April 2022 01:59 (two years ago) link

yeah this is awesome

class project pat (m bison), Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:06 (two years ago) link

believe it or not repeatedly switching markannen onto trae young has not worked out for the cavs

J0rdan S., Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:06 (two years ago) link

crazy half by trae

oh man if the cavs had been able to control the ball off that steal....

Okongwu played his ass off 2nite

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:10 (two years ago) link

cavs had 36 points in the first quarter, 65 the rest of the way

J0rdan S., Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:12 (two years ago) link

thats about as cleveland a result as you could draw up

LMFAO - “party rock anthem” blaring into a dead silent arena as the season’s final seconds painfully bleed away

J0rdan S., Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:14 (two years ago) link

i don't get why kevin love didn't play more when the cavs desperately needed something on offense

call all destroyer, Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:15 (two years ago) link

i’d guess lauri was shooting so well that bickerstaff just rolled with him. love certainly wouldn’t have helped any when it came to defending trae. them not having a single wing worth playing really showed up in the second half once lauri’s shooting cooled off, they stayed with that three big lineup and trae just shredded it over and over

J0rdan S., Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:18 (two years ago) link

on the bright side for the cavs they don’t have to send a first round pick for caris levert now

J0rdan S., Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:19 (two years ago) link

Rondo was awful. They really could have used Rubio.

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:19 (two years ago) link

xp yeah, i would have just tried something else in the second half when the offense was dying.

they have some work to do and who knows if they can do it but garland and mobley is a really exciting duo to build around.

call all destroyer, Saturday, 16 April 2022 02:21 (two years ago) link

Rondo was awful. They really could have used Rubio.


If playoff rondo is gone then he doesn’t have a place in this league

man I care a lot less about this game than I thought I would, fuck a pellie and/or clipper

He single-handedly saved their season. Not making the playoffs after making the ecf woulda been a disaster.

pins and needles here for the 11th pick lmao

Clay, Saturday, 16 April 2022 04:47 (two years ago) link

Imagine if the Pelicans add a 27 point per game scorer unstoppable near the rim who can pass, handle the ball, run the offense, screen and roll, and rebound all at a high level. And he’s only 21. When Zion Williamson returns and if he stays healthy New Orleans will soon contend.

zion tbf is maybe the biggest wildcard in the history of the game at this point
