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

[–] sdlesion 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

[–] atp2112 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kissing_Ash 6 points 2 years ago

Well deserved tho haha

[–] Kissing_Ash 10 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

[–] atp2112 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For 3 hours, until the Ja suspension drops

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

[–] neal 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] humutoor 9 points 2 years ago

Going to crown a new champion tonight and a Joker mvp 🙌🏽

Kind of sad that our first game thread will probably be our last for a long while. We gotta do some summer league games!

These in-game coach interviews are so weird and useless

[–] acosmichippo 6 points 2 years ago

Neat. No need for reddit-stream.

[–] sh1n1gam1 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] fiestapinguino 8 points 2 years ago

Fuck yeah, glad I can shitpost somewhere.

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

What a terrible, terrible shot

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

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

[–] smokinjoe 6 points 2 years ago

Jokic brothers are gonna get absolutely smashed

[–] Kissing_Ash 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”

[–] atp2112 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] smokinjoe 6 points 2 years ago

Binge responsibly, Denver

Or don't. I'm not your dad

[–] sdlesion 6 points 2 years ago

KCP with the steal of his life

[–] CapsuleCorp 6 points 2 years 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.
