End of 1st quarter: 21-21
End of 2nd quarter: 62-37

The scores for the 2nd quarter: 41-16

Now look at the scores for the 4th quarter in the recent game 6 match in the playoffs between the Rockets and the Clippers:



Those were 2 very evenly matched teams who are currently tied 3-3 in the series. In fact, LA was leading by 19 points in the 3rd quarter before Houston made their incredible comeback. So how could a team who led by 19 points as late as the 3rd quarter lose 40-15 in the 4th? Momentum is a very fickle beast. Comebacks/meltdowns like that happen more frequently than you think in the NBA. Basketball is not like DBZ where a single number (power level) decides the outcome of a match and if you have the lower power level, you are screwed and there is nothing you can do.

Don't count Seirin out on making a comeback. Will post my observations about the episode in a new post.

and you just noticed it during the very last season? if you dislike it so much why force yourself to watch it?

I noticed all the way from season 1. But back then it wasn't really that stupid and immersion breaking, and somewhat enjoyable. But now, like I said, it's just plain retarded. And I'm not gonna drop it after 69 episodes, too much time invested to just drop it. And well, I am interested on how Seirin is gonna pull the win out of their ass.


well then good luck cause if they follow the manga like the did before its going to be ridiculous in terms of abilities and asspulls. no wonder ppl are asking "how is seiring going to win this..its impossible"

// look the post below for example

It's impossible for Seirin to win under normal circumstances. I don't see how, but it will be interesting at least.

The following should not be taken seriously.

So far all the asspulls come from Rakuzan. Note that i'm using the word asspull like how most people (wrongly) use it. That is, if someone reveals an ability he has not used before, or if something happens that I don't like, it's an asspull.

A sixth man from nowhere. Asspull. I don't care if there's a flashback explaining how he's discovered or that it was explained that his abilities weren't used in the Shutoku match because of Hawk Eye. As an MAL user, it is within my prerogative to call asspull even if there are perfectly rational explanations for what happened.

Akashi being able to dunk. Asspull. He shouldn't have that level of athleticism. If Akashi can touch the rim, Kagami should be able to land on the moon.

An uncrowned king (Nebuya) being able to completely outmatch another uncrowned king (Kiyoshi). Kiyoshi being nerfed just to give Rakuzan a huge lead. Plot armor for Rakuzan.

A move (void shot) that can make an opponent unable to jump. Asspull. I don't care if the explanation comes later. Right now there isn't one, so asspull.

Remember Kagami can still go into the zone. Kuroko can still come back with a solution. The uncrowned kings are beating the 2nd years individually, but in this episode itself, we see hints that they can be beaten by (passing) teamwork. Remember how Seirin collectively worked together to try and stop Kise? Well, the uncrowned kings aren't Kise level. Don't count them out yet.

Mayazumi is an awesome character. He got hate in the manga because of butthurt Kuroko fangirls, saying he was a copy. When his play style is completely different.

Also, that Akashi theme, it's too damn awesome.

I've been sticking here for 3 seasons to see Kagami beating the crap out of Akashi and ain't gonna watch them lose sorry not sorry


I like how they said even if there's a miracle they still wont win. Um hello do u not know what a miracle is? Seirin will win. No matter how much of a cop out that will be. I just want Kuroko to come back and redeem himself before its over.

Next episode... That's gonna be special.

Next episode aside, the best part of this episode was the amazing music. This season, had an overall better score than the previous two.

And watching First Years VS Akashi, animated, was really fun.

If one were to follow real basketball, coming back from down 25 is far from impossible, especially since it's only halftime. On another note, that comeback by the Rockets was absolutely crazy! Harden didn't even play for that! :O Not to mention, this was on the road too.

HARDEN SHOWING WHY HE'S THE MVP!!!
JKlol

(Seriously, though... I really hope the Clippers take the trash out tomorrow. They are clearly the better team. Chris Paul is the one guy in the NBA who I want to get a ring ;_; And the Clippers have been amazing (apart from their last 2 games) this postseason... Warriors vs Clippers rematch would be an AWESOME rematch as the Western Conference Final!)

Great RL example lol. If narrow minded weebs cant even see the truth when it's in front of their eyes, no point in showing it to them.

Anyways.

Episode was pretty rushed (as usual). This time, the gags and the antics kinda disrupted the flow. I didn't enjoy it :/ They went from introducing Mayuzumi to being down by 25 so fast. They didn't go through Hyuga's backstory with... Mibuchi's shooting form, I guess. And they didn't even mention his dislike of flamboyant guys like him. They didn't even mention Ray Friggin Allen. They rushed the individual matchups and explaining how Seirin "can't" win. Animation wasn't even that great. The preview spoiled a whole lot of important stuff -.- too.

It sounds like I hate the episode. That isn't true. I just wish it were a lot better. But heck, there's only so much you can shove into 25/6 episodes. They should've pulled a Yowapeda and done 37 lol. Well, all I know for sure is:

NEXT EPISODE WILL BE AWESOME!!!!

Had a lot of what I didn't like about the final match.

- Tension, with all the commentaries, it kills the momentum.
- Ill-placed comedies.
- SG vs SG
- Using1st years, because author knows it's the last match, so yea gotta force screen-time on them, even worse is to force them to be useful.

Probably still some more that I've missed, but w/e.

Why are people taking this so seriously? You know, I want Seirin to lose.
They are literally the main team of the anime and I find them the biggest sleep fest ever. If they win, it will be the biggest asspull of asspulls. Not that I'll be surprised, since Seirin is King of that.
I like it so far, plus yes I love Chihiro's "I love me" attitude. Go positivity.

Akashi dunking. Definitely possible but extremely difficult given his height... impressive leg power. And here I am trying my best just to touch the rim.

Sad that Seirin lost the individual matchup battles. It was nice to those position matchups.
Hax void shot. And Nebuya's muscle power.

Sacramento won vs Chicago after being down 34 points.
And quick google search reveals there's even been a comeback from 36 point diference! And that's real life, imagine what anime could do.

Another quick search shows a video of Lakers doing 14-0 in 50 seconds!

While these situations are rare, they also occur in real life, so there you go.

Are people really upset that Akashi can dunk? Nate Robinson 5'9- slam dunk champion , Spud Webb 5'7- slam dunk champion. Akashi Seijuro 5'8- finishes alley-oop. For those that don't know it's easier to jump higher without the basketball and you can reach higher with one hand than with two. Yes those are professional basketball players, but watch this video of a 20 year old, who's 5'8 and never even played college basketball


And allow me to preemptively answer the oblivion/void shot complaints by issuing this challenge to those who will complain when it's explained, jump as high as you can without bending your knees....there you go, now sit back and enjoy the rest of the game.

There is something that bothers me. How come they didn't use the first years in the first game against Touou? They were having trouble caused Momoi researched the second years, but she had no data on first years like Furi at all. Yet they're using them against a GOM and three Uncrowned Kings, but not against Touou's normal players?

Mayuzumi had a nice response to Akashi with not being just a better copy of Kuruko in the flashback
Seirin would be letting every player on the bench play in this match if the pace is exhausting every sub that's been brought in

The guard and shooter mirror was kind of absurd to see though to display Rakuzan's difference in level
I like the funny scenes, it reminded me of Slam Dunk
