Basketball (NBA/ FIBA)

Ref helped Portland out with that phony call on Porzingis but that was fucking nuts from Lillard. It really was Dame vs Dallas in that 4th quarter.

EDIT: Melo hit a big three in the 4th tbf. CJ was so damn bad.

Pat Bev and PG13 really poked the Bear into life :joy:

Not gonna beat us but we are gonna get all we can handle while the clippers are gonna get Dallas and Denver, id much rather have that than Houston and Portland :roll_eyes: (if it all goes chalk)

51 vs Philly and 61 vs Dallas in the next 2 games following this :rofl:

A lot of quality match ups during the upcoming playoffs, looking forward particularly to Heat v Pacers, Clippers v Mavs and OKC v Houston.

I miss college basketball. Philly just pisses me off. They’ve been making too many mistakes in terms of forming this team. I still can’t believe we never won it when we had Iverson. Whilst I’ve kept up with the Sixers since then, I definitely watch more college ball. Following the NBA so closely right now just sucks ass.

At least the Flyers have had a good start to the playoffs and managed the #1 seed. Here’s hoping the keep form.

Hopefully Westbrook is good to go for game 1.

So Portland loses they go home, cmon Brooklyn!!! I want Memphis clearly, but Phoenix might be worse than the Blazers :joy::joy:

Ey don’t be like that

I don’t wanna face Dame he’s doing his best Kobe impression in the bubble. Although with McCollum at like 50% it might not be a bad match up for us.

We survive another one by the skin of our teeth, yet again requiring another huge night from Lillard.

Haha, ya know I’m not so worried after having watched this game. When the Lakers are locked in we are a very good defensive team. Not sure if our issues are that we just aren’t motivated or maybe losing our best guard defender but I have a feeling you’ll see a very different Lakers team in the playoffs. Portland doesn’t seem to play a lick of defense.

Caris LeVert and the Nets really wanted to send Portland home :joy:

Doubling Lillard before he passed half-court and still going off.

Jim Boylen in the mud

Carmelo and CJ came through for Portland. I approve!

Monday with 4 games to get the playoffs started should be good.

Entertaining games since the restart

Big time Melo trey late. CJ just went on a madness in that 4th quarter.

Huge effort to make playoffs given where we started the bubble.

The two buckets on Ja Morant were pure magic.

I hope Portland give Lakers a decent game but I just see them feasting on the offensive board but Portland can be proud.

Nurkic with 22 points and 21 boards. With the loss of his Grandmother, dude left it out on the court.

Just hours to the NBA playoffs commence, I’m so glad they didn’t void the season.
