Have been banned from the other thread by an apparently sensitive snowflake (ironically after dozens of pages of political discussion from others) so I'll stick my thoughts on the NBA Playoffs here from now on. We needed a new thread anyway. [Reply]

Tremendous poor IQ play, but it worked out as well as it possibly could have.
It was a gimme 2 points...easy. you act like it was a oop to a 6 2 white boy :-) [Reply]

Yeah, and it happens within a second of desperation. I agree the dumber play was getting the turnover and throwing it over the top to Giannis like that.... that's much more of a "know the situation" play than having to turn and determine if you have any chance at preventing that shot/dunk from going in.

If you think alley oops passes are gimmes, I don’t know what to tell you. Even NBA players fuck them up all the time. It was a completely needless risk to take up 1 with 10 seconds left but he executed it and it worked out. Good for him. [Reply]
