Before the team touches down in Orlando

He has to fly Spirit back to Orlando.

I bet they leave him on the tarmac

Tonight or tomorrow lol

Nah they’re gonna do what the Bears did to Eberflus, make him do the presser and then fire him an hour later.

Nah, he was. you beat the 1 seed as the 8 seed w/o your second-best player, you keep your job.

If you can’t save your job beating the 1 Seed in 6 while missing a player, then there is no result that exists that saves it. Not even winning the Finals.

Two games in a row. They legit just went into half time thinking they where still playing college ball or something cuz they came out thinking the game was already over

They were inspired by Boston last night

i’ve seen a couple generational 2nd half brick parties now in my life. does that mean they’re no longer generational?

asking for a friend.

I’ve been watching my Raptors series, and that seems to be every game’s deciding factor. The Raptors had 70 points at halftime last game & finished with 112, winning over the Cavs 110. How is it only 52 points after a 70 point half!?

The legs start to go, which is why teams with effective deep rosters are poised to go the distance. I’m not saying I believe my Raptors are there, but a superstar with a crazy 4th quarter engine + a bench with its own crazy depth & scoring capabilities seems like the recipe for winning a championship.

That _is_ how my Raps outlasted the KD Warriors to win the championship; player longevity is a part of what makes a winning team

He’s a spark plug sixth man we got unlucky enough to be due to extend after a fluke 41% 3pt shooting season

Who exactly can they trade him for

Suggs for Jamal Murray who says no? (I’m sure the money doesn’t work just play along with me)

Nah. Not yet. The right answer is probably getting a coach that is offensively minded to see if they can fix this half court offense. Give everyone a chance to prove they should stay. If that doesn’t work out then its time to go radical. But this core has only had 1 year together where they rarely got minutes all at once due to injuries.

He lost steam once he stopped clapping HVL cheeks

im hearing suggs jamal murray trade

Suggs+ for garland swap

Wagner Special Ops Team lol

DEVOS! MOSLEY! WHERE’S OUR OFFENSE?

Thats still wrong. Although Wagner wasn’t there, its not an excuse for them losing. Detroit played better defense clearly. Most of all, its not an excuse because they were able to lead by 22 in game 6 without Wagner, so clearly they knew how to play without him.

This copypasta is so old and it still fools people lmao

So did the magic in game 6

Who the fuck even plays for that team

With Paolo being good every other game, this makes so much sense now

A complete rebuild is insane. Given the current change in lottery, Magic is in the perfect spot. Just keep being mid and they’ll eventually get a top 4 pick. No incentive to tank anymore and yall already have 2 all stars and traded 5 picks for Bane

I think that’s fair. Still, being an 8 seed over 1 seed upset would have been sick.

Which players do you consider salvageable?

Paolo, Franz, Bane are all very good players.

Paolo, maybe can’t consider your #1 or #2 (I think he’s in the Randle-level flawed borderline #2)

Franz, awesome but injury risk.

Bane, maybe a bit overpaid, but can see him shine with a decent pg.

At least that shit happened because Bron, and shit like him and kyrie going for 40 a piece.

I never thought I’d see a worse faceplant than missing 4 free throws and only needing to hit one to win game 1 of the finals. What happend in the 2nd half on Friday was worse. Only needed to sore 34 points in a half to end the series. Scored 19. In a half!

I’m a Browns fan and have never been so crushed watching sports.

It’s fine buddy, this is a safe space. You can let it out. We’ll come back stronger next yr

Agree with this, but we did NOT have to do it in such painful fashion. A clean 6 or 7 game loss would have been okay but of course this stupid team had to traumatize us instead.

DOC RIVERS WELCOME BACK

Keep that bald fuck Glenn Rivers away from my basketball team.

Oh did Chauncey Billups got out of the feds?

Sad news about that timeline my man. But it’s gonna come any day now. Just be patient

Nothing will beat the hawks level of shell shocked lol

Paolo was a huge highlight of this series even with the collapse. Healthy Franz, new coach, keep bane, get rid of the deadweight players, and try sign one more decent shooter and they’ll probably finish better in the standings next season. Sucks losing a 3-1 lead but this wasnt a “blow it up” level collapse

Yeah I don’t wanna hear Paolo slander ever again. He can’t win with those cats

These series have been amazing as a neutral fan

Nothing’s funnier than the Celtics blowing a 3-1 lead

No way this is funnier than the Celtics’ starting lineup yesterday.

And not just a 24 point blown lead, a second half 24 point blown lead where they set playoff records for fewest points scored in a half (19) and most consecutive missed shots (23).

Yeah, there is no way Pistons won game six with Wagner.

You were uo with him. Without him, you went 0-3.

And it absolutely mattered

Hopefully the Pistons toughen up for the next series

They need to talk with the raptors and pair him with Gradey

“A dirty wizards fan” 💀💀💀 I’m dying lmaoo

i don’t know who could’ve predicted boston would not get another game with that lead even with embiid back. game 5 celtics and game 6 orlando were stunning failures

I didn’t think the Celtics would lose even with Embiid back. They completely collapsed lol.

the fact that magic were up 60-38 at half is crazy, that’s why 3-1 blown leads will always hurt more than a sweep, the fact that u are so close to completing it and u couldn’t is rough
