2018 NBA playoffs running thread

Per Woj's tweet, she'd been ill for a while. They were in Oakland for the first two games, Saturday and Monday. I can't even imagine ...

 

Damn, don't know how you continue coaching during that. Best wishes to Pop and his family.

 

Fair or foul to ask LeBron that question?

 

Please. They asked Durant. They asked Kerr. I assume a lot of other NBA'ers were asked.

 

You gotta ask. I mean, you know what the answers will be, but you still have to ask.

 

I heard some dipshits on the radio this morning complaining that LeBron was “ambushed” with the question.

Then they found out he knew beforehand that the reporter was going to ask it.

Then they started complaining about him being a phony for pretending he didn’t know.

LeBron Derangement Syndrome is real.

 

Yeah, this just shows how fake the whole postgame interview process for TV is. The players know they're just going to answer softball questions about the game, or asked for their approval ahead of time for a more difficult question.

 

Durant's first reaction was pretty genuine.

 

For some stupid reason watched the T-Wolves-Rockets for a while last night (I'm West Coast/last game of night) and how does Thibideau have a job still? D Rose and Bejlica took as many shots as Towns and two of Towns' shots were corner 3s when he had a guard on him. For some reason as well, Wiggins has not progressed an inch as a player; he looks like he could go for 40 if they just game him the ball. The Wolves are horrid on O. Played some good D, but jeez when my guys in my weekly pickup game run a 4 man weave we get more assists than the Wolves. Towns should be dominating inside, instead he's jacking 3s and its Teague/Rose/Crawford going 1 on 1.

 

Next on Info Wars, Lebron killed Mrs Pop
