I’m a Virginia basketball fan. I’ve never seen such a gap between great defense and terrible offense than I just saw in the Bucks’ final three quarters.

NBA has tuck ruled itself to death.

Mfing RONDO

Lebrons been draining 3’s these playoffs like no one’s business too. He’s been taking a lot of those shots. He seriously can do everything. The whole squad can shoot pretty well though

jmakin · September 9, 2020, 3:36am

Oh god this is really over.

I have been dreaming of a lakers/clippers playoff since i was a little kid. I know it sucks ass for the rest of the country but it doesnt get better than this for me. Maybe the day lebron got traded to the lakers… MAYBE.

Rondo looking LOOSE like a Thundercat.

Melkerson · September 9, 2020, 3:58am

I’ve been a Laker fan all my life and I was a lot more excited about the Shaq signing than LeBron.

Shaq was in his prime, LeBron was well past his and coming to a team that wasn’t (at the time) just one LeBron away from shipping.

Granted, I was expecting even more greatness from Shaq than he gave us, but given his career to that point it was not an unreasonable expectation.

They were both exciting times, but Shaq’s signing was a bigger deal to me.

Melkerson · September 9, 2020, 4:01am

Seems like some recency bias to me. They’re on a bit of a heater.

As far as shooting goes, I think they’re the worst team left in the West.

This is based on no checking of stats whatsoever, so lol me if I’m way off.

jmakin · September 9, 2020, 4:08am

Shaq is one of the GOATs, the laziness argument is kind of dumb

jmakin · September 9, 2020, 4:09am

Better than houston this playoffs and that really surprised me

dlk9s · September 9, 2020, 4:12am

Marvin Williams is retiring. Very nice 15-year career. Can’t ask for a lot more.

Melkerson · September 9, 2020, 5:13am

Yeah, obviously Shaq is one of the GOATs. Didn’t mean to imply otherwise.

I do think he had more in him, though. But even as he was, he was a beast.

MichaelDavis · September 9, 2020, 6:47am

Could ask for Chris Paul.

Lawnmower_Man · September 10, 2020, 1:13am

If they gave the whistles to chimpanzees in striped shirts would this shit really be much different?

eyebooger · September 10, 2020, 1:21am

In for the last 20 seconds.

TrueNorth32 · September 10, 2020, 1:32am

Same. I felt like Shaq guaranteed us multiple titles, whereas I thought one title with Lebron would be right around expectation, if not slightly above, given his age and the state of the West.

Of course, it was also different in that Shaq was joining a team run by Jerry West, and Lebron was joining one run by Magic Johnson.

dlk9s · September 10, 2020, 1:33am

The advantage of the Bucks being out is that I can watch games without stress and can solely root for schadenfreude.

Yes yes MOAR overtimes wear out be tired
