NBA Playoffs

Jokic is the best player in the league. He's the most gifted offensive center I've ever seen
Toppin and Reeves shot a combined 2-22 in the KSU game. If they could have simply had "bad" games instead of horrific, we move on.
Lu Dort was the key to victory for OKC.
He really caught on fire there down the stretch drilling them 3's and plays hard on defense every night.
Yup if not for him Denver might have went up double digits .
Denver role players struggled tonight
They really did, gave Denver practically nothing tonight. Only 10 points from the bench in this one.
Firing Malone seems to have reinvigorated this Nuggets team. OKC is legitimately the best team in the league and I don’t think it was close and the Nuggets are giving them all they can handle. Probably one of the best playoff series in several years. Watching the east play out this feels like it should be for the ship.
also has anyone seen these AI interviews? They’re hilarious
They are but AI is starting to get scary good. Pretty soon people everywhere will believe anything they see on a screen that is totally false. I bet scammers have a field day with this technology.
He takes comfort in knowing that the earth is flat and that there aren’t many hills in the world to wear down his newly repaired knee.
That poor shooting happened a lot n ncaa tourney losses under Cal. Knights garbage shooting against uconn n 2011, whole team against WVU n 2010, pj ahainst ksu n 2018 at line, etc. Just horrific.
I mean generally when u don't make shots u lose. It is what it is.
Pacers are deep. They don't out talent teams, but they out worked the Bucks and the Cavs. If you aren't deep, it's gonna be tough to keep up with the Pacers for an entire series.
The Tatum injury was devastating to see go down.
That said, I think the Knicks and Pacers series is going to be really good, provided the Knicks close out the Celtics. And I am still loving me some SGA - Ok. City and the incredible awesome "my god the bucket must be 30 feet wide" for my amazing man Julius Randle and his magnificent game. Ridiculous stuff there.
I don't know what's best. OK city or Minnesota against either the Knicks or Pacers. Any combination looks solid for a finals this year.
Lace em' up and play !

Variety will be nice. I'd love to see the pacers or twolves or thunder win a title.
Feels like the type of game Horford turns into 20 year old Horford and carries the Cs with 28 and 14.
Heh, someone hoping they have a Tatum-less Boston team for the ECF??
I want OKC to make the finals .
But the best storyline for the NBA would be Minnesota vs NY
You got the Kat for Randle trade
Antman at the Garden
Ha. No, just an honest thought. Sure, the Celtics are probably the easier series now, but I want the Knicks. And anyone that remembers the Reggie days wants that series too. Fantastic basketball. Not saying the Pacers would beat the Knicks (although I think they can). Just that a Pacers Knicks series will be awesome.
Also, suck it Spike. Lol
I sort of feel like the Pacers would win that series. They look better right now. And the Knicks seem to have kind of gotten an unfocused Celtics team. But.. the series will favor the Knicks, and its not gonna be easy for the Pacers to win at MSG. I don't think they are quite as seasoned as Boston is, for that environment. Should be a crazy series (assuming Knicks can close this out).
That Randle/KAT angle in the finals would be a great storyline going head-to-head after that trade.
Pacers just have to make sure that series goes 6 or 7. Their strength is wearing teams down. Have to steal one early in the Garden.
2nd Quarter and the Celtics/Knicks have gotten more bench production tonight than Denver did all of last night.
You're absolutely right about that. It is scary how far it has come so fast.
Jaylen Brown & Derrick White coming through with some huge games so far. Brown 19 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists. White 23 points & 6 3's.
This would be the most Knicks thing to do if they lost this series. Say they lose tonight, game 6 is must win for the obvious reasons of being at home. But if this goes to game 7, Boston is going to be unleashed trying to come back for Tatum. They wont lose that game. And the Knicks will be so tight with pressure.
Boston was favored tonight and the books will make a killing off it.
KAT had a tendency to no-show in big games in Minnesota and I hope for his sake he can finish strong and they can close out the series at the Garden. There's no excuse for him not to dominate against an AIDS-stricken Porzingis, Luke Kornet and a 50-year-old Al Horford.
He had some kind of virus earlier in the season that caused him to miss a bunch of games and apparently it came back during the playoffs. No one really knows what it is. They've restricted his minutes in the games he's played.
Knicks let the Celtics right back in this series instead of finishing them off without Tatum with Boston avoiding elimination.
