C/S

Crying shame 

NBA's equivalent of Fernando Torres

 

No league title but instead a bag of International medals.

[Rsonist]

Cavs should have done that trade in Jan for him and shifted Love

Could still happen this summer

[Kuffir]

gobert gettin injured rele fucked up the clips jazz series

same way nurkic missing has made trailblazers golden state a non starter

>> injuries

john wall >>

[Kuffir]

westbrick outplayed harden for three quarters

then shot 3 of 17 when it mattered

harden for mvp

[Rsonist]

Patrick Beverly>>>

Guy is everywhere

So crucial to the Rockets

[Lens]

Oladipo today >>>

if him and Westbrook both turn up this series might go to 7

[Kuffir]

by rights thunder should be up 2-1

[Kuffir]

one of the worst endings OAT

[Lens]

Rockets looking better but not scoring points. Westbrook just outscoring them casually 

Beverly's rebounds for a short guy though, gotta rate where due

[Kuffir]

beverly is a tough sob

sweaty motherfucker too

[Rsonist]

Westbrook had another shocker in the 4th

While the real MVP stepped up and won the game

WESTERN CONFERENCE 1ST ROUND - GAME 5HOU WINS SERIES 4-1

HOUSTON -- Russell Westbrook has been eliminated from the playoffs seven times, and the scene each time has been mostly the same. As the clock edges closer to zeroes, Westbrook flings himself all over the court, running his tank so far past empty that the gauge combusts, and he isn't much more than a puddle of sweat and adrenaline.

As he walked off the floor, shirt untucked and head down, on Tuesday, with the Thunder eliminated 105-99 in five games against the Rockets, he found the tunnel before the final buzzer actually sounded, leaving as Alex Abrines launched a half-court shot.

Westbrook's brilliant, historic season had its book closed, and its final chapter was 47 points on 15-of-34 shooting, 5-of-18 from 3, 11 rebounds and 9 assists (with 7 turnovers). He was sensational. He was also erratic. He was the complete summation of Russell Westbrook, circa 2017

 

lol what a header, if russ does things right next season thunder can hit 50 wins and buck the warriors in the WCF imo

i bet russ numbers were great through the first three

imagine he had a better coach for these 4th quarters when everyone in the arena knows what he's gonna do..

[Kuffir]

shit then lmaooo

real life beef

[Lens]

what an adjusted shot by Nene during that foul!

[Lens]

Beverley and Williams haven't turned up today, Nene not given enough minutes

[Rsonist]

Harden been carrying an injury all playoffs

[Lens]

the faces this Rockets coach makes every time he disagrees with the ref's call 

coincidentally Italian, in line with Porchy's commentary about their expressive gestures  @O Fenomeno 

 

[Rsonist]

The Rockets completely fucked it up

[Kuffir]

shout my nigga john john

[Tee]

Dark days for the nba tbh 

 

GS v Cavs in the finals for the next few yrs 

 

Another team needs to step up

[Kuffir]

commercially thats the match up everyone wants to see

and talent wise the league is the best its been in x amount of years

its not a problem imo

[Rsonist]

Last years finals got the highest ratings since the late 90s

The league is scattered with top talent tbf

Just 2 dominant teams at the moment, but thats always been the case look at the 80's, 90's and early 2000s for example

That said a few teams are very close to challenging (imagine if New Orleans get CP3 this off season)

[Kuffir]

truss

i think portland would've played the warriors much closer with a healthy nurkic

milwaukee (even sans jabari) and wizards can make life abit harder for the cavs, even the bulls with a healthy rondo

basically ______ >> injuries
