NBA Playoffs 2025

[The New Holliday]

Celtics over Clippers in 5. Book it.

I don't book anything unless Larry says.

Pop stepping away from coaching.

Pop stepping away from coaching.

What a drag it is getting old.

 

[The New Holliday]

What a drag it is getting old.

He'll be pres of team or something.
. Not too bad.
29 years of prep and game coaching must take it's toll.
. You see poor Tom Thibodeau...Virtually the whole game every game the expression says "That isn't what we practiced, that isn't how the play works...can anybody here play this game? This isn't basketball".
No way he lasts till 79. Pop deserves a great deal of credit.

He is or was a partner in a Vineyard here in Oregon

Ah, maybe that is what kept him on balance for the years.

When Paul Allen was still alive, there were rumors he tried to get Pops to become a Blazer.

He was loyal to the Spurs organization, that's for sure.

He's an all timer in humanity. A saint.

Congrats Nuggets.

Now try to go 7 games against the Thunder.

 

[Reptile Reaper]

Harden and Powell shit the bed for the Clips. It's going to be interesting to see who comes out of the West.

With the Lakers and Rockets getting sent home early, the skids have been greased for the Thunder.

 

[The New Holliday]

Okay, I was just going to sit quietly and watch the game.....that didn't work out for me.
. Second foul on Towns. He's stationary, hands up, position established and Flatwerm jumps into him creating contact. I hate that shit. That is an offensive foul every fucking time, and the league has to get its head out of its ass about that shit. I've always hated that pussy move and I always will.

Get yer fucking head out yer ass, NBA.

Dame Lillard is a pro at that foul. I was uneasy about it when he was a Blazer but appreciated his skill at utilizing the loophole he probably averaged 5-6 points a game with it.

 

[The New Holliday]

Okay, third foul on Towns.
.This is the NBA and the playoffs.

THAT IS NOT A FOUL !

I don't know that that is ever a foul.

 

[Alfred E. Neutrump]

Payton Pritchard has some moves.

 

[Alfred E. Neutrump]

Geez, Robinson is a brick machine.

 

[The New Holliday]

...furthermore (and I may promise to stop after this, or I promise I may stop) this hack a player pussy shit is more pussy shit. You can't play a team straight up?....don't use pussy tactics. Not to mention, why do when you are far the better team. That ain't NY basketball mutherfuckaires. Back to beantown with you.

 

[Alfred E. Neutrump]

Brunson with 3 fouls. Not looking good.

 

[Alfred E. Neutrump]

The Celts put on a clinic in the last two minutes.

Refs fucked this game in the opening minutes. It was all over that fast.

I've noticed that they seem to be calling more of the hair splitting fouls than before. I recall in game 5 of the Nuggets/Clippers series there was a five minute span in the second quarter that 6-7 personal fouls were called on several players. Weird.

Too many touch fouls.

Too many touch fouls.

Its getting to the point of anal retention. Just let the players play. It will all work itself out.

Even that 3rd on Brunson was a play-on.
.It's weird though because some games you think it's a rugby game and like shit, ain't that a foul when you shove a forearm into a player like that? There seems to be some inconsistency. That must be tough for the players not knowing what the calls will be.

Opening of the second half and 41 free-throws already. WTF?

 

[Alfred E. Neutrump]

4th on Towns. This is a train wreck of a game.

 

[Alfred E. Neutrump]

20 point Celts lead. Nice try Knicks.

I have no problem with Celts winning. Been a Cs fan since days of Bill Russel, The Jones', Satch Sanders et al.
. Not a Flatwerm fan, but it's a good team these days and I hope they win again, but I do like a good game.
Of course I a Knicks/Cats fan now so I will watch to the very end.

 

[The New Holliday]

One pt game if you can believe it. 84-83

 

[Alfred E. Neutrump]

I salute Thibodeau for not giving up.
