No! I hold my breath whenever Rose looks hurt

Holy shit, Blake is killing it this postseason. I honestly thought there was no way for Houston to lose with CP3 out.

I still have no idea how the Clippers do it, they only have like 8 players!

[gunnar hendershow]

Doc Rivers is a very good basketball coach, that's why. He gets the most out of his guys in the playoffs.

Terrible GM though.

[Benjamin]

The fact that he can make Big Baby Davis a competent basketball player is amazing.

All those injuries this year

[Your Mom]

Just saw that Cavs video. The fuck??? Who thought this was a good idea?

[thatshortguy]

That video was a very bad idea and I think several people need a reality check, yo. I did not see any humor in that one.

Wall's likely out with several fractures in his left(?) hand, which frankly doesn't mean much. You don't beat the Hawks with cutting point guards. You beat them inside and by taking advantage of when they go cold.

Really feeling like whoever comes out of the East is going to get eaten alive by the Clippers or Warriors.

It was so bizarre, especially the end with her on the couch having learnt her lesson. If the Rocket's guy could be let go for a gun emoji shooting a horse emoji I can't imagine what the consequences of that video should be. Hoping Silver addresses it.

[HC]

It's one of those things where I doubt there was any malintent making it, but surely some PR guy somewhere in the chain of command (or ANYONE with common sense) should have nixed it, realizing the implication. It's pretty baffling.

[Your Mom]

Well yeah I'm sure the person who made it didn't think "Man it would be funny if one of our fans beat the shit out his GF to convert her" but still they need to go

[Quom]

I don't get the people defending it elsewhere. It seems to boil down to 'dude that's someone's livelihood you're taking away for a mistake', they can't seem to wrap their heads around how big a screw up it is. It's like working for McDonald's and producing a video saying it makes you fat/stupid/catch cancer.

Whilst the video is fucking offensive as a stand alone thing It's less that and more how the fuck did you even get this job if you were going to be stupid enough to make something that would create this level of needless negative controversy. Like who on Earth thought that video was a good idea? Because whoever it was really does deserve to not be making videos for basketball games.

[Benjamin]

EDIT: Never mind, what a horrible promo.

[gunnar hendershow]

The Wall news is terrible. The Wizards don't have a way to replace him and nobody else can run the offense like he does.

[HC]

They had a really good shot of at least making ECF too the way they were playing. Shame.

[Quom]

I hope he's smart enough to let it heal properly.

[thatshortguy]

Agreed. Setting aside my Hawks fandom, I'd rather see him healthy and not rushing things. He has plenty of time left to be a big deal in the NBA.

[Your Mom]

I have decided I am the good luck charm. I watched game 1 but not game 2. So here we go Bulls!

[Your Mom]

That is D FUCKING ROSE!!!!!!!

[Mofoticon]

Seems about right
