Sit back and watch the carnage: NBA Playoffs edition

THERE WILL BE L'S!

Pssst.

It’s Saturday. If you have the day off like me, you should be thankful and do something joyful. Like watching the rest of the NBA kill themselves fighting for the right to face off against the Golden Empire.

If you don’t have the day off like me, that’s okay too. Just refresh your basketball scores app throughout the day so you can watch the box scores as the league claws their way to their date with destiny with your Dubs.

Here’s today’s schedule (all West Coast times):

Here are some tweets to stoke your fanatical flames:

When you’re upset about the Raptors, remember they have an All-Star point guard, All-NBA forward, potential ROTY with a monster ceiling, a recent Coach of the Year, a recent NBA championship, and consistent winning seasons. We’re pretty blessed, all things considered.

Jalen Brunson has absolutely cooked the Jazz over the last two games: • 72 PTS • 1 TO • 2 W's No Luka, No Problem. The Mavs take a 2-1 series lead #MFFL

KD's floor mapping has been so bad in this damn series, it's crazy. Just isn't seeing anyone around him, on both teams.

Isaiah Thomas @isaiahthomas

I’m excited 2 see what Ben Simmons brings 2 the Nets. I keep hearing “He’s going to play the Draymond role” like has he ever played that role? Do we know if he’s even good at that role? Let’s not just throw around “Draymond role” like that’s something simple!! If it was simple…
