The 2023–24 NBA Season

[Poisoned Slice]

How many shots did he take in the 2nd half?

Was just reading the review of it there.

''Lillard attempted only five shots after halftime and let his teammates get more involved in the offense.''

 

[Kralingen]

This is the best series of the first round. Knicks being good is the best thing that can happen to basketball. Jojo has something for them though.

My last trailing ember of hope remains for LA tonight. Perhaps Bron can come up with one final flourish. If not, the series is effectively over.

Yeah, this match is nice and tight, ohhh, but I'm just not fully into it, I'm still up for my beloved Lakers. Saw a tweet from Magic Johnson talking about the guards needing to up their game.

Please, LA, guards, forwards, everybody, up your game, let me live the dream along with you.

Not feeling confident at all. Kind of like when Man Utd played Milan away when Kaka was having the year of his career. Quite possibly the only time during Fergie era that I knew we were doomed. Well, Barcelona in 2011, but Kaka was just different.

Yeah, it’s ironically a much worse feeling than playing the KD Dubs in 2018, for example, as in that case I knew they had no chance going in. It’s more like the 2014 Spurs series or the 2017 Warriors series, where you know the other team is better, and you know they have his number, but you have that glimmer of hope of playing the absolute best and coming out on top.

Jokic is quickly extinguishing the last of the hope. Kaka is an excellent comparison, really. So smart, no wasted movements, they have an answer for everything, there is essentially no option to truly stop them. You couldn’t take everything away from Kaka and you can’t take it away from Joker. What a player he was. I know exactly the goal you’re thinking of too.

 

[fundrazer]

Feels like deja vu with Brunson in this game. 7 for 24 in this one. More field goal attempts than points.

 

[InsuranceMan]

Maxey clutch!

 

[fundrazer]

lol. Steven A is like 2 seats down from Jmac and the look on his face with the Knicks down 4 is priceless.

 

[InsuranceMan]

WILD in the Philly NY game

 

[fundrazer]

What the hell was that sequence just now.

 

[InsuranceMan]

What the hell was that sequence just now.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a single call after all that

 

[travlerajm]

What the hell was that sequence just now.

Silver steps in.

 

[InsuranceMan]

Maxey/Embiid put up 70 and Jalen Brunson shooting 28% from the field. They still lost

 

[InsuranceMan]

Man I was about to go to bed but just 3 mins of LA/DN making me reconsider. Bron with a charge and a rejection already, Russel draining from deep, and Denver just being Denver. Top dawg.

Denver will tie it up before the quarter is over

lol and I like I said.. 11 point lead cut in half literally as I typed that out

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Hell of an ending to the previous game. Wowzers.

New York baby.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Now time for LA to take a forty point lead in the third quarter before 26 down at the end of the fourth. Hadouken.

One of those 3 certainties in life situations, unfortunately.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Am, I allowed getting excited with this 10 point lead? I don't think so, not even half-time yet.

Nice ''floater'' Mr. Davis. I am impressed. Only time I ever did them on 2k was by accident.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

But I will allow this moment. It’s been a while since I've said it, I think.

Who else but LeBron, man.

That was a delightful play.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

15 lead at Half time. Joint time. LOL For me..

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Too much info.

 

[Kralingen]

Must not believe must not believe must not believe

 

[Kralingen]

15 lead at Half time. Joint time. LOL For me..

Hell of a time for it. This is the best half of both AD and DLo’s lives and I’m not even exaggerating. AD is cooking and DLo with 6 threes, that final one absurd.

Lakers will blow this I’m sure but what a start.

 

[InsuranceMan]

Only going by box scores here but is Denver just really flat today aside from MPJ? How’s it look actually watching the game

 

[Pheasant]

AD is having a legendary game so far. Russell has been unconscious. Will the Lakers keep this up? Or will Denver respond?

People forget that the Lakers were in the conference finals last year.

''Davis is smoking.'' I hope not, save the treats for after the match. Spark up a Cuban if you win.

''Ain't those illegal?''

''They're cigars.''

Yeah, Denver have looked flat in the first half, Lakers pumped up.

Now it begins.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Another sexy assist from Magic James and Davis with the and 1.

Woot.

20 point lead now. hmmmmm

 

[Poisoned Slice]

What is Darvin Ham feeding these guys?

''The same thing those busty girls in Haddonfield were fed during Halloween 4. ''

''Ahhhh, it all makes sense.''

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Lakers defending like Chelsea in 2005 here. Keep it going.

 

[Pheasant]

Sick shot by AD while being covered like a glove by AG. AD is having the game of the ages now.

Jokic and especially Murray need to step up their game.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I need a gif of that LeBron flex while he's on the ground.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Oh no, I'm starting to feel scared now. Lead cut to 13.

Damn it, AD. Can't be trying those Hollywood passes. Know your limits, son.

Nothing happening for Lakers at the minute.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

D'lo makes the wide open 3. Come on.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

''Heartbreak for Jokic.'' Aww, poor him.

10 point lead going into final quarter. Come on, LA. Get the attack going again. Yes, easier said than done. But, come on, get it done. Please.

 

[Pheasant]

Nuggets vs Lakers has turned into a nail-biter.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Get in, Reaves.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I quit basketball. Almost starting to feel sick here.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Damn, that steal and bucket were so delicious. Then Denver score the 3 and we're even.

 

[Kralingen]

I knew they’d blow it.

 

[Pheasant]

OMG!!!!

 

[-NN-]

Jamal Murray. What can you say about this man in the playoffs?!

Incredible ending!

 

[Kralingen]

Oh **** off

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Oh **** off.

Soul crushing stuff.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Absolutely disgusting.

Almost like the whole thing was planned by the chicken nuggets just for the lolz at the end.

 

[fundrazer]

Jamal fades back

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Was exciting, to be fair.

For the diehard Lakers fans my goodness, what a heartbreaker.

But I did know right from the start they were gonna break my heart. Give it to me give it to me.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Usyk to make up for this in a few weeks.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Bloody 20 point lead, frick sake.

Yeah, 2 good matches. I was entertained. Just brutal though.

 

[Kralingen]

I’m not watching a second of this stupid series anymore. It’s not worth it

What a night of ball tho. Two of the craziest finishes I can recall

Made me feel ALIVE!

Until that Murray buzzer beater. Killshot. I'm dead. Rest in peace, @Poisoned Slice. You had a good wee run, kid, but it's over.

 

[Kralingen]

I’m just speechless really. The perfect game from the Lakers and they blow it anyways. It’ll never happen for them. Easy sweep incoming. I’m sad.
