    Fuck I forgot how playoff Lebron was about 197% better than the next best player in the league...

    ...except maybe playoff Kawhi...

    The Lakers are up by 19 and AD has zero FGAs

    Turns out the Rockets have the one big move, and the Lakers have the exact solution to the problem.

    Have the Heat lost yet in the playoffs?

    Aren’t they like 16-2 in the bubble

    Edit: Lol nope 11-6 (still pretty good!)

    Double edit: think it’s either Heat in 5 or Celtics in 7

    The Celtics beat them twice fairly handily pre-bubble then lost to them in the bubble (heat didn’t even have butler). I think the Bucks were a really, really good matchup for them, but not that they’re the best team in the East. I probably would’ve taken raptors to win too.

    Either way, they’re not THAT much worse than raptors or Celtics that I’d be surprised if they won.

    Can you imagine basketball if they enforced traveling

    My god

    A lot of manoeuvres like the euro-step are legal. They changed the rules a while back when they legalized zone defenses, removed hand checking, etc.

    Players get away with some egregious shit from time to time but the game is better from the increased spacing.

    It was two years ago when they codified the gather step. The actual, on the books rule is that you get a step as you.gather the ball, then 2 more.

    I kind of hate it, just because no one in pickup knows what a travel is, and it leads to dumb arguments.

    Though, to be fair, is pickup supposed to be played with high school, college, fiba, nba, or some other set of rules? I don't know

    the gather step is dumb because it makes garbage like the 15 step stepback not a travel because reasons. and makes refs afraid to call obvious travels even with the gather because even they can't spot it on the fly.

    Look, the real lesson here is, I once-again get everything I want by having the Lakers blast the Rockets out of the bubble.

    Also was hilarious seeing Westbrook demanding a double team when 20+ points down.

    The real shame is that we wasted five games of Rockets/Lakers when we could have had Thunder/Lakers instead.

    The Harden triple stepback should still be against the rules but the officials don't call it nearly enough

    You think so? They seem to lose focus and take a dump whenever they get time off, and they we just rounding into form. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see another game 1 turd out of them.

    They really feel like a team that is willing to take a game 1 dump in exchange for time off, and getting time off while your opponent in the WCF has to play a back-to-back. They have a bunch of vets, so getting the time off to heal and game plan is huge.

    Yeah the Lakers getting a week of rest before playing the Rockets was good, and they’ll get that again going into the WCF

    Lebron is so good- everyone that has won an MVP since his last is now fishing and he merely transformed into the assist leader this, his like 912th season, and is still destroying everyone else

    It's been pretty bad this.first half, killing the flow of the game. Not nearly as 1 sided for the clippers as I would have guessed.
