Antetokuonmpo just hurt his ankle fml

just shut all the stars down til the playoffs please

[justinandimcool]

back on the bench phew

[justinandimcool]

one of those nights...

Hardaway 42 on 23 shots

Durant 42 on 24 shots

Kevin Porter Jr. 50 on 23 shots

Michael Porter Jr. is pretty much playing like a star now, look out. super impressed by him since Murray went down

[justinandimcool]

will prob miss the games tonight but what a huge night:

Utah/Phoenix plays for control of 1st. IMO you’d like to avoid the Lakers in the second round but they might fall to 6th! such a wacky seeding race

LeBron James may be back tonight vs Sacramento

San Antonio with a pretty big game to stay in the 7th/8th race, Smart and Walker are out so that should help

Portland/Brooklyn is a semi unimportant national game that i’ll likely skip but it’ll be a million points scored

[BotheLaneFan]

Heeeeeeeee’s baaaaaaaacccccccck...

[Balor3012]

King back!!

[Balor3012]

Would be a great night for the Celtic leadership to be bad

[justinandimcool]

bleh without White it really depends how Murray and Derozan are shooting that day. Boston doesn’t run enough pnr for Poeltl to make a difference defensively. the way our offense is going it’ll probably be a big night for Tatum, Brown, and one of Fournier/Langford/Pritchard

our ace in our pocket is Walker who had a really nice couple of games lately. is always due for regression. should be a close one but i am hoping we can help out in the New York playoff chase! sorry we failed against Miami the other night!!!


Lakers game most likely blacked out for me, can’t wait!!!

[justinandimcool]

73% shooting so far through 20 minutes of play!! who needs Derrick White!!!!

[justinandimcool]

dang I knew Robert Williams is bad at protecting the paint but this is baddd

[justinandimcool]

epic comeback lmao we suck

[justinandimcool]

50 in 34 shots for Tatum

i am so livid rn lmao worst blown lead ever

[Balor3012]

Couldn't make it easy!

[Balor3012]

Poetl plays perfect defense on the inbound, team grabs the ball but a foul is called. Refs overturn the foul but it's still a jump and the Celtics hit a three anyway. Fucking dumb

[justinandimcool]

32 point lead blown lmao just disqualify us and put New Orleans in the play in my god i can’t do this

[justinandimcool]

Tatum 60 on 37 shots

[ToySoldier#34]

Phew, nice to eek this one out, clam cheer for Tatum tying the single game scoring record for the franchise

[dmbfd15]

Love havin Mavs on local TV. Luka with 8 assists in less than 10 minutes?

[justinandimcool]

Cole Anthony sinks Memphis at the buzzer with a sick three!!! thankfully not just us blowing stupidly big leads

[justinandimcool]

Ball and Williamson with some huuuge games to keep their season alive

[justinandimcool]

Washington’s insistence on trying to score with zero man advantage never fails to make my eyes bleed, but hey it keeps working this past 3 weeks

[justinandimcool]

that Doncic mid range pull-up has been money lately. not a bad addition to his game against drop defenses

Finney-Smith!!!

[justinandimcool]

Leonard good

Zubac defense good, Jokic offense is just....wow...that move at 7:45 in the 3rd...ridiculous

[justinandimcool]

not that Campazzo/Rivers are good but they really don’t miss Murray and Barton’s defense out there. defense looks competent even with Jokic on the floor...that’s huge. that said, Clippers are missing open ones

[justinandimcool]

Rondo so good. these Rondo/Cousins lineups haven’t been bad at all the past two weeks

Denver defense hanging strong

[justinandimcool]

vary good game, the west seeding is a mess and i love it


every single game tomorrow has big seeding implications, every single one. and 7/8 games on Monday, inject this into my veins tbh

[dmbfd15]

Mavs tied with Lakers for the 5th seed? I’ll take that. Ready for some revenge against Sacramento tonight. Third time better be the charm.

[justinandimcool]

only a couple minutes in and we’re probably seeing the coaches tip their hand as far as playoff defense in a potential matchup

Brooklyn is in their usual switching d, but they have Jordan on Antetokuonmpo as a de facto pre switch, so Milwaukee is doing what they can to get defenders on an island and i like the looks they’re getting

Milwaukee is playing their usual conventional drop, with Lopez being the primary helper off Jordan. that makes sense on paper but Brooklyn is getting good floaters opening up the game for Jordan

[justinandimcool]

Tucker on Durant, he has a lot of responsibility especially in these Forbes/Lopez lineups. like four times now it’s been one screen boom open shot. i imagine they’ll be cut from the rotation if these two meet in a series

[justinandimcool]

Brooklyn shooters hitting, Milwaukee shooters zero on open jumpers
