Joel's thumb neutered his defense. Seems the Sixers are in deep shit

 

[The Raccoon]

The 76ers were up 3 to 1.
Can't see Doc Rivers losing this series...

3-0

 

[The Raccoon]

3-0

I know. But he famously lost 3-1 series 3 times in the past.
And blowing a 3-0 lead hasn't happened in the NBA... yet.

 

[chilidawg]

Dallas team reminds me of the C's. Great ball movement and they really know what they're doing defensively.

They are kind of scary right now. Luka, Brunson, Dinwiddie and your amount of wings who can do a bit of everything is a pretty lethal mix.

 

[benhogan]

Oh my.

ho-hum 3x DPOY getting defensively beat in the playoffs, nothing to see here

 

[ehaz]

Doncic is so cool

 

[nattysez]

If you're Kidd, isn't it time to put Luka on the bench and let that calf get some extra rest?

 

[bigq]

After missing his first six tries from behind the arc Luka just hit two consecutive step back threes. He is feeling it.

 

[Royal Reader]

I find it amusing that the Dallas video boards are displaying "Halleluka" a la the Ringer video every time he drains one.

 

[ElUno20]

3-0

It's the next stage of Doc. Blowing a 3-0 lead

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Conley looks completely cooked

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Not sure why Luka is still playing at this juncture

bro it's a regular season award bro you can really build a defense around him bro, bro if you think this is bad you should see them when he's not out there bro

Doc has 31 losses in close out games

yes that’s an NBA record

 

[DJnVa]

Zach LaVine enters the health protocol, so not looking good for Bulls to extend this series.

 

[benhogan]

Butler and Lowry out tonight

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Three and a half in, two quick fouls on KAT.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

And two on JJJ.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Trae Young playing like crap.

 

[Tony C]

I loved that first half of Minn-Memphis. Those are two fast, athletic teams -- ton of fun to watch them play, and whoever wins will definitely be the team I'll root for out of the West.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Towns with a shaqtin a fool travel

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Dillon (West)Brooks doing his best Russ impression tonight

 

[nattysez]

Minny-Memphis 3q has been ugly. Both teams playing sloppy ball.

 

[Cellar-Door]

THese teams are both young and athletic.... they are also both really really dumb

 

[JCizzle]

Oh my God, that dunk.....

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Ja just detonated. Maybe a top five in-game dunk ever.

 

[JCizzle]

Video of the dunk:

 

[DannyDarwinism]

Yeah that was an all-timer. He wanted the second one so bad.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wow Miami may blow the lead

we need a gusgasm

 

[Ale Xander]

Wtf was that
Horrible half court offense

 

[Ale Xander]

Seriously?

 

[JCizzle]

Yikes, drop an elimination game to a team without Butler and Lowry.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Gotta give it to a double team man in the corner when you can

 

[Euclis20]

Yikes, drop an elimination game to a team without Butler and Lowry.

Atlanta is exactly who they were all year. With Young having a brutal game and Bogdanovic out with a knee injury, the writing was on the wall.

 

[Ale Xander]

Moar-ant

 

[JCizzle]

Ja!! Huge 3.

 

[ifmanis5]

Awful shot by Russell.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

D’Angelo Russell what the fuck was that?

 

[JCizzle]

That shot from Russell...LOL

 

[Euclis20]

This game and series have been tremendously entertaining. I came into it rooting for Minnesota (Ant is great fun and when in doubt, go with the underdog) but I'm realizing that I really don't like KAT (and Beverly is one of those guys that is a net negative on the league with his play), and Ja is just magnetic.

same here. Hard to root for the Wolves while Memphis is infectious.

DAR is straight trash

 

[The Social Chair]

Minnesota needs to dump Russell and Beverly. Ant needs to be getting these looks.

 

[ifmanis5]

Great play and make by Ant.

 

[Ale Xander]

The one guy you can’t leave open

 

[JCizzle]

I fucking love this game

Like that
