That was some serious clutch play from Maxey. 7 points in about 30 secs. But how have the Knicks bottled that

Re: The NBA Begins by BlueMann: 3:15am On May 01
If only Josh Hart had made both free throws before Maxey's tying three. Speaking of Maxey, what a night: a monster performance to overcome 19 points on 37% from Embiid (as well as 9 turnovers shocked), while also overcoming another big night from Brunson
Re: The NBA Begins by BlueMann: 3:21am On May 01
Poor Bucks are going home tonight. That historic regular season from Giannis, plus the highly anticipated partnership with Dame in the playoffs...just for it to end like this.

Damn those damned injuries.

Anyways, till next season.

Regular season and free throw merchants. When it's time to score real buckets they are always nowhere to be found

37% as a big man is crazy can't believe they were comparing him to Joker with a straight face

Sixers better bring out the Brink truck for Maxey. Nigga gonna be Scrooge McDuck

So...I was wrong about the Bucks. They live to fight another day, at the very least.

Don't think Giannis or Dame will be back for the rest of this series tho. The rest guys will have to thug it out.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:06am On May 01
One player that has gone under the radar in these playoffs is Khris Middleton. Shout out to that baller. I thought he was done in this league. Man has balled out.

I've only just found out about the Timberwolves' AD, that boy is 💥.

He did KD wrong but that ones powers have waned considerably, might be time to retire and go back to Texas to finish his degree.

To be fair to embiid he looked banged up and gased in that game, yet he played incredible defense in overtime,he's playing with a lot of guts and could have mailed in for the season.
If embiid was just at 70% , this series would have been over.

Dude is playing on one leg with a facial paralysis.
And still dropped 50 the other night.

Meanwhile your homie Jamal is shooting below 39% apart from game 5 he shot above 40%

I get it now. You love your free throw merchants. From SGA to Embiid

Embiid is a 7'2 280 pounder shooting 43% from the field. Imagine that. For context AD also a center and injury prone shot 62%

And FYI Jamal Murray also playing with an injury only difference is he's on the court and not making a whole song and dance about it. You would never know if you saw him play.

Not some people that have their yearly alibi already prepped for when they lose

So type of injuries don't matter?
Jamal Murray had a calf issue same as Giannis, one guy can play the other cannot even suit up for the game.
I also see how you categorized as being injured and being injury prone as the same thing.

What's your point? He's still injured Why did he conveniently leave that out like Jamal was a 100%?

Pretending Jamal is not more of a dog than Embiid is just laughable.

Also which of the injured or injury prone label doesn't apply in this example? Both parties are injured and injury prone. No?

Embiid is currently injured, AD up until the last half of game 5 was not. Acting as if there is no difference is hilarious. When AD actually became injured, we all saw how far his performance plummeted, be scored zero points from the field in a whole half, and was basically non-existent on offense in an elimination game.
So yes, there is a big difference between playing while injured and being injury prone.

One of my biggest sports pet peeves is the injury excuse. If I see you between those white lines then clearly you're good enough to play

The difference is certain people have a much higher pain tolerance than others and anyone watching AD knows his tolerance for pain is quite low to put it mildly

And why are you acting like AD has not been a non factor late in these games. Games 2-4 he scored 3pts or less in the 4th. He's been largely a first half guy and whether deliberately or coincidentally has always vanished late in games

AD for all his sublime and elite skills is not exactly a bastion of toughness and mental strength. At the slightest discomfort he turns to shark food instead of maintaining a poker face.

Anyway I'm not accepting any excuses for any players I see on the court. That is doing a disservice to the opponent

Instead of blowing up and rebuilding they will trick themselves again that tried and tested postseason failures who will be 35 years and older next year will find a way to perform miracles. And you wonder why some teams never win

If the Clippers lose this series they need to blow the entire team up. Full fire sale. Hell if Ty Lue wants to leave help him pack

Extending Kawhi 3 years, someone who has been injured 4 straight seasons in the playoffs already highlights their stupidity. Let's see if they compound it by keeping the other guys as well

Disclaimer: All this is moot if the Mavs choke the series away

What's happening in the Porter family?

A 3rd brother in legal kpenkelemes.

Why not just hire a chauffeur for these boys or something Michael. This is ridiculous

Those guys are not serious. They are hell bent on ruining their family name.

Nothing MPJ can do for them at this point than to avoid trouble.
