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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years 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!

Agreed, this has been a blast

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Well deserved tho haha

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How on earth is that a foul?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

NBA wants a game 7 with these two

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I get that, but that was just extremely egregious

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Neat. No need for reddit-stream.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Congrats denver

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

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

These in-game coach interviews are so weird and useless

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

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

Where’s Jokic LMAO did he just go home?

Edit: aw he was just chilling with his family lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years 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

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

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.

Binge responsibly, Denver

Or don't. I'm not your dad

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Jokic brothers are gonna get absolutely smashed

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

KCP with the steal of his life

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Unreal from Jokic down the stretch but KCP came up so clutch at the end there

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Turns out he wasnt there just for the zipline
