Observations so far:

1. Brooklyn looks like the eventual champion.
2. My Mavs are the "surprise" team out west.

RJ 3-10 from the floor. Randle 0-6 and 2 points, Quickley 1-6 and had 3 of his shots blocked. Thought this would be a good matchup as ATL is not known for D.

Welcome to the playoffs.

Miami obviously benefited from the bubble last year . Milwaukee also got better this offseason with the addition of Jrue Holiday and Bobby Portis .

Theres this belief that certain players shoot better in a smaller arena / no fans aka the role players.

I can't say its certainly true but from personal experience I shot better from the 3 point line in smaller gyms.

We were having that debate over some wings. Kinda settled into the idea that the environment was the same for every team/shooters. I do recall Murray going nuts during the P/O’s and DBook Suns going undefeated in the startup games. Maybe you’re right.

Total punk move by Booker. Disappointed to see it. He's better than that.

AD called it out, said "that's a dirty play."

You talking about Alex Caruso? TAMU. He was never going to be a star in the NBA, but he was always a very good ballhandler and iirc a solid defensive player. Fits in real nice for what the Lakers need him to do.

He's one of my favorite trivia questions to my friends in the "Where did player X go to college?". Definitely one of the harder ones. I feel like I only know because he played in the SEC, specifically on the years when TAMU was good and the season when they got the 3 seed because of Humphries spiking a ball.

A healthy Lakers squad is the only team out West with anything for Brooklyn. You're not beating a team four times in seven tries if they have the three most talented players on the court.

Love Trae!!!! Lmao

Heat missing the 5 seed was huge!

Noel ran into a wall. Just an intense game.

Have I mentioned the D Rose trade? God if the Knicks hadn’t of gotten him.

Yup. Knicks 4-14 from behind the arc first half.😬

Twitter is pummeling RJ Barrett right now. That thing is insane. Julius getting no love.

IQ played well. Not letting 1-5 shooting fool me.

Derrick Rose! That’s my sentence.

Knicks are playing great D. No lead is safe.

I'm a Laker fan and Harden n Irving will torch Laker guards. And LA size down low might be to much for Brooklyn, hope we get to see it.
