Smart looks like he's leaning into him.

[CurlyDumps 4,478]

Trash call. Charges are fucking lame.

It was damned close. I think I agree with you but, I can see it being called either way, and seeing both calls.

Celtics settling for too many 3-pt attempts in OT.

[Horn80 6,131]

Push off not called.  

[ztejas 43,526]

The fuckin refs in this series man. That was terrible. 

[Michael Knight 12,990]

wow 

[PittsburghTiger 6,194]

Too late

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,817]

What a great game! Hahahaha

[PittsburghTiger 6,194]

Huge win by 76ers. Boston let that slip away

[CurlyDumps 4,478]

Alls well that ends well after that referee retardery.

[SilasCoade 2,622]

Brutal loss for the Celtics 

[ztejas 43,526]

Good. Fuck that dipshit ref. That would have been a horrible way to hand BOS a win. 

Now we just need to figure out who's switched bodies with James Harden.

gutsy game by beardman.  Still have to win 1 in Boston WITH Embiid whose footwork is much more awkward than i had previously gauged.  Bad hands too, old man Horford was stuffing him.  Embiid just needs to shoot 3s, he's not that great in the paint - and to think claiming he's better than Hakeem

Screaming hot takes

[Fastbreak 3,990]

Embid is a scrub with no offensive game.

checks notes - led league is scoring 2 years in a row. 33 a game, 27 a game for career.

[ChickenSandwich 9,848]

Fantastic game from Beard. Shoe exchange with the MSU kid was great at the end.

Maybe he really is uniquely terrible in the playoffs?

Not uniquely terrible.  This year is the same as every other Harden year.  Some to like. Some to dislike.  Beat a team they should. Eliminated by a team that should have beaten them.  Same as it ever was. He won them two games in this series. He was really bad in two games. It's the James Harden experience.

[ztejas 43,526]

Omg that was fucking sick. I knew that was money as soon as he put it up.

[ztejas 43,526]

Ayton not sucking total dick tonight. 

[Pam Cummings 9,654]

Suns owner flopping to help his team

[ztejas 43,526]

Jokic out here assaulting owners. He needs to be stopped. 

[Vic Mackey 47,111]

.

[ztejas 43,526]

I don't even know where to start. What an awesome half of basketball. Jokic. Booker. Jock Landale. The burgeoning Durant/Aaron Gordon rivalry. Jamaal Murray. 

[Chewbacca 7,781]

Jokic out here assaulting owners. He needs to be stopped. 

Fucking Ishbia needs to be sent to his box. The refs were terrible in the first half. It's amazing the game is as close as it is.

Welcome back. We missed you after James Harden’s uniquely terrible games 2 and 3.

[ztejas 43,526]

This Booker shit is getting to be fucking stupid. Denver may have to find a Jeff Gilooly. 

[ztejas 43,526]

Jokic just a terminator tonight. 

[Zeus 6,115]

Shamet and Landale > CP3 and Ayton

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,817]

Spero Dedes must have a list about 50 different ways to describe how Joker makes a shot

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,817]

Shamet and Landale > CP3 and Ayton

Ayton sucks no doubt, but playing Landale instead of worthless Biyombo in a series that you need any kind of scoring outside of Booker and KD looks like the right move

Looks like Phoenix is content with joker scoring 50 just so long as the others aren’t scoring 20+

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,817]

Jesus shit dicks Booker

[ztejas 43,526]

"No way Booker goes for 45 on 80% shooting again"

 

[Zeus 6,115]

Ayton catching a tech from the bench huh

Fuck this shit is annoying

[ztejas 43,526]

Shamet with 2 huge triples. Whoda thunk.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,817]

LOL wut

[Zeus 6,115]

Double comes to Durant the swing is automatic to the third pass wide open every time.

[ztejas 43,526]

I feel like I'm on drugs.

Then again DEN is leaving him wide fucking open. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,817]

Absolutely terrible shot by MPJ

[Zeus 6,115]

Why the FUCK is Ayton in there if he can't play offense, doesn't defend the rim or get rebounds man shit

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,817]

Did the bro in the backwards hat catch the ball and Ayton touch it standing out of bounds??

[PittsburghTiger 6,194]

Denver is losing this game from 3. Phoenix had made six more 3s.

[naija 2,869]

I dislike Devin Booker but what a playoffs he is having.

[Reynolds Woodcock 4,797]

Really happy I forgot to hit “submit reply” on my “PHX and Philly are toast” post from earlier today.

They still need his mins. He's still playing too much over Landale but they need all 12 fouls between those guys. Ayton made some nice plays tonight.

The NBA Jam on fire mode was based on Devin Booker tonight.

Suns are playing some crazy simple basketball too just fundamentals and taking good shots. And making 45% of threes. 

Crazy how easy they make it look

That put back where he's just hanging around the rim and Gordon walks up under the basket and easily puts a slow rebound tip in with zero resistance did it for me man.

Landale just hustles and ends up with offensive rebounds. Ayton is fucking gifted at 6'-11" and just lingers around not even jumping for the ball when it's right in front of em

[Fastbreak 3,990]

Jokic don’t take no shit from billionaires.

Yeah he's plenty frustrating. He should have blocked that put back. You just hope he balances out the WTF plays with good ones.

The guy is a Nepo Baby. Dang, I hate that the Suns won this one.
