I just want everyone to know, this was the most fun I've had in a game thread in ever

[–] sdlesion@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the most I've ever participated in one. I agree!

The smaller crowd here really helps. The old game threads with thousands of people so chaotic.

Usually gamethreads, especially in the finals, are just going way to fast to participate.

Yeah it’s actually possible to keep up and chat!

[–] Valandir 7 points 1 year ago

Agreed, this has been a blast

[–] Kissing_Ash@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jokic was great again but this was won by great defensive plays by the whole team. And clutch free throws.

Also Jokic doesnt seem so excited hahaha, classic

[–] atp2112@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You just know Jokic is going to get drunk drunk, though

[–] Kissing_Ash@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Well deserved tho haha

[–] sdlesion@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

"It's good, it's good. We can go home now." Never change, Jokic. Never change!!

[–] Kissing_Ash@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

God that was a great game. Aside from the refs, this was a slugfest to the end!!’

[–] brownbreadboy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now we can talk about Denver, like Mike Malone wants lol

[–] atp2112@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For 3 hours, until the Ja suspension drops

Heat playing like they cant lose. While I am rooting for Denver, its fun to see the fight.

[–] FermatsLastAccount@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That block by Gordon was absurd

Neat. No need for reddit-stream.

[–] FermatsLastAccount@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How on earth is that a foul?

[–] Kissing_Ash@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

NBA wants a game 7 with these two

[–] FermatsLastAccount@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get that, but that was just extremely egregious

They did it! Congrats to the Nuggets for the first chip. Much respect for the Heat.

These in-game coach interviews are so weird and useless

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

coach, what armchair psychology and motivational platitudes do you have for us tonight?

[–] Sokkahhplayah@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

"You guys plan to let them keep scoring or are you going to try to catch up?"

[–] atp2112@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is this ugly basketball or exciting? Can it be both? I think it's both

What a terrible, terrible shot

[–] huskersax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It was the Butlerest of times, and it was the Butlerest of times.

[–] sdlesion@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Live by the Himmy, die by the Jimmy

[–] MKBandit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Congrats denver

[–] smokinjoe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Jokic brothers are gonna get absolutely smashed

[–] smokinjoe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Binge responsibly, Denver

Or don't. I'm not your dad

[–] atp2112@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Is 15 seconds left in a do-or-die game really the best time for a heat check?

[–] Kissing_Ash@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I knew their plan was to make Butler shoot a 3 to get FT’s lol. But that ain’t it right now

[–] tigerdactyl@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

“Go to the three point line and kick everyone in the balls”

[–] FermatsLastAccount@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Denver is really gonna miss Brown if they can't bring him back. Huge impact throughout the playoffs

Where’s Jokic LMAO did he just go home?

Edit: aw he was just chilling with his family lol

[–] Kissing_Ash@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Spo be like “aight jimmy, go to the 3 and then flop. The refs are on our side right now!!”

[–] plushboringfrog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ref Van Gundy

[–] CapsuleCorp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So glad Lemmy exists. Had totally forgotten about the reddit blackout. Went to check out the game thread at the start of the 4th and was so confused for a minute when Relay returned a blank page lmao.

I’m not a big basketball fan, but check out the Finals and March Madness. I always liked the Nuggets as my second team when I was a kid (I loved the 80s rainbow jersey). Would be cool to see them win one.

Denver being fucked by refs. What’s new, guys haha

[–] greeny@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Denver is really underperforming in the first half. Expect them to hit some shots in the second.
