AR-15 is gonna get a big bag in the off season. What a time to show that you're a hooper right before your contract is up.

I’m a little bummed, but after Caruso and Reaves, we seem to have a knack at locating white boys

[doomstation55]

Nuggets get it done, Jokic has basically his worst shooting game of the season and still gets a 28 point triple double. But the reffing fucking SUCKED in that game.

D-Book with a light 47 points for the Clipps tonight. Denver series is gonna be the ultimate test for the Suns.

Lakers fans better hope the team has money and that he likes playing in LA. He could get a nice paycheck from other teams.

I met Mad Dog after a game in April 2015, rough season but nice guy. 

[BallDontLie]

Shaq, by all accounts, has heavily vouched for him… saying he’s the purest/nicest player he’d ever met lol

He also apparently bought Mark a bunch of suits and a down payment on a new vehicle when he came into the league. Not the biggest fan of Shaq, but always thought that was dope.

Oh lakers were slotting new white guys in 4/5 spots a lot those days.   Mihm and Medvedenko “stand out”

Mihm was a lottery pick.

The rest of the Laker white guy wonders were undrafted free agents.

Damn I completely forgot about that (looks like we got him and Madsen both in the first round that year, which is something).   I just have a vague memory of him appearing in the Chucky Atkins days

Let's cool it with the Chris Mihm talk boys...you're triggering my PTSD.  I don't want to hear no Ryan Kelly bullshit either...let's let them white big guy ghosts just disappear

Didn’t Rudy draft Andrew Bynum?

This is my favorite Laker big man discussion.

Fleece of the century… Pau could do it all around that time.

Years later we got the Pau grunts…

Haha, I was going to make a Mad Dog joke but got beat to it. We going to give any love to The Machine, or are we strictly talking American white boys?

Vlade Divac smoking cigs while being a laker is also legendary.

Mmm if I remember right, it was because of the Rudy half-season that Lakers were in the position to draft Bynum the next year

And somehow the Lakers polished that turd for 7 years before fleecing us in that 2012 trade that eventually started The Process.

Fuck you just reminded me we had Kwame Brown at the same time.   @rothdigga was right about the ptsd flooding back

its crazy to me that jrue holiday was ever a sixer.
RIP Bucks tho lol what happpppened

[KBizzle]

LOVE seeing the Bucks shit the bed. What a wild playoffs this has been.

[The real veganshawn]

Well as we say in Ohio, there is always next year.

[jorge]

Ok c'mon Atlanta Miami stepped up against a team much better than them, its your turn.

Surprised cavs Knicks didn’t go the distance… thought that cavs team was pretty solid. Guess i didn’t watch enough Knicks games…

Over the series the Knicks had 29 more offensive rebounds than the Cavs which lead to 27 more shot attempts. That series was won on the boards, sometimes it's that simple. Even as a Knicks fan I'd argue that the Cavs were the better team on paper, but they obviously weren't ready for playoff basketball. It's still baffling that they traded away Kevin Love even though the series against the Knicks was to be expected, and the Knicks struggle mightily against stretch bigs. Turns out they're gonna see him anyways. I had hoped for a long series between the Heat and Bucks, but Jimmy did his thing. I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with the Heat or more disappointed by the Bucks in that series. I'd say the Heat go into the second round as favorites despite being the lower seed because they can exploit the Knicks' weaknesses pretty ruthlessly, and because Randle is either going to be out or severely limited. Still fucking hyped for my Knicks to advance to the second round for the first time in 10 years. Maybe they can sign Melo off the street for a couple buckets in Randle's stead.

[BallDontLie]

That’s what i saw, Knicks killed em on the glass outside of Mobley. But think the Cavs averaged only 93? Points or so. Coach Thibodeau is def more playoff tested than Bickerstaff.. hes 1-6 in the playoffs/play in. Mitchell Robinson balled out. 13pts 18 boards lol damn

[doomstation55]

Knicks fans are so toxic, this Reddit comment had me dying laughing



Always love seeing Jimmy Buckets win too, that series is gonna be awesome

[scab]

^ I mean... He's not wrong. And way more polite than other New Yorkers.

Who y'all got advancing to round 2 in the remaining series? I'm positive the Dubs will complete the turnaround in 6, and Boston is gonna close out their series in Atlanta tonight. Grizz - Lakers is a tossup. I think LA either wins it at home in 6 or Memphis takes it in 7. Ain't no way the Lakers roster can pull off a game 7 win on the road with LeBron on one foot.

Hahaha holy shit… that is hilarious. But in all fairness, every sub Reddit has its share of wackos (looking at you dodgers sub…)


I really wanted to see the kings advance.. dubs are in the driver seat now.

J Buckets is all heart, man… wouldn’t mind seeing him get a ring. Same with Harden and Westbrook. Sucks the way he went out.

Always wondered who coined Jimmy Buckets..

“Stacey King gave me that nickname easily before I ever scored a basket in the NBA. So the nickname never really made sense. And then I started to score a little bit, and it started to come into its own. But Stacey King gave me that in 2011”
