2018-2019 NBA Season Thread : The One Where the Spurs Miss the Playoffs

[Andalusian girls]

Utah please

it's like if the Jordan rules were devised by an autistic salamander

Webber is right the hard hedge on the left hip giving up wide open space to the right is literally a practice drill to hone your weaker hand

[Andalusian girls]

HARP ON IT CHRIS

it is so, so stupid

it didn't work game 1 when Harden wasn't expecting it, he's annihilating you now that he knows what look you're going with every time

holy fucking lol

still tho, utah has no business winning this series. they can either lose playing the way everyone else does when they lose to the rockets, or they can try to crack the code that is harden

i wont @ them for trying something that looks dumb when defending harden straight up usually looks dumb for the defender anyway

Spurs learned how to crack that code. Ask harden...bet his ass still gets PTSD from that block in Game 5.

That opening scene. Lol!

They did Stauskas and MarShon Brooks dirty, goddamn.

For anyone that doesn't understand the MarShon Brooks segment - https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comment...eat_brooks_war

Embiid Out

[Gredival]

Damn I forgot all about this and just watched the one with Jimmy Butler, hahaha

[Dimmauk]

Derrick white is fucking awesome

Derrick white is fucking awesome

This White vs. Murray matchup is exactly why I was so mad about the Trae Young trade and why I hate taking terrible defensive players in the draft. Fortunately, Trae looks like he has the top 1% offensive skill to offset his defensive liabilities

Murray is good offensively but games 1 and 3 when his shot isn't falling he's getting destroyed by White at both ends. It wasn't falling in game 2 either until the very end, could very well be 3-0 right now

Good thing for him that they're on the other side of the bracket. Spurs are in white walker mode mode once again, smh

[Andalusian girls]

i think the Nuggets might just kinda suck, Murray and Jokic are really living down to their defensive reputations. ain't over but dudes need to right the ship in a hurry they're lucky to not be down 0-3.

also the other side of the bracket is a lot better, Golden State and Houston are heading towards a WCF rematch in the 2nd round it's gonna be wild.

[Deejay]

yeah warriors/houston is gonna be bananas. i dont want to believe the 'turmoil' nonsense but i would enjoy a good ol' golden state implosion

Would fit with a "the West is actually not great outside of GS" theory, a sucky team like that taking the two-seed.

Who the fuck has that theory?

[Andalusian girls]

now that Houston is healthy and have Bzdelik back scheming their D they're a great team again, and the lower-ranked seeds out West are still a lot better than the ones out East, but otherwise, yeh. OKC has collapsed offensively since George fucked his shoulder, Nuggs have a brittleness about them that the Spurs are exposing, we all saw what Portland was worth last year when Holiday+AD put on the jets, Jazz are solid but elite, no, we see what happens when they've run into an elite team now x2 against the Rox.

[Krandor]

Yeah but worse then the East minus Toronto and Milwaukee? Hell No.

[Krandor]

The pettiness on display so far in the playoffs is amazing.

Dame vs Russ, KD vs Beverly, Ben Simmons vs Jared Dudley fuels my soul.
