Nugs vs Clippers second half could’ve been an email.

Bring on the Thunder.

Playoffs of LA

It’s a great day.   

[Shitbag]

Just another James Harden Game 7 performance, the uniforms keep changing but you can always depend on Harden in the clutch to just absolutely gag.

I do love Kawhi though, and if Zubac was on my team I’d be pretty stoked.

OKC will probably win but here’s hoping the Nugs give them a good run, the whole Russ versus Thunder dynamic could be really interesting actually.

Game 7 loss with 4 different teams... i don't miss that at all. Lights it up, but when it matters most ghosts


Still crazy to think they had SGA...

I’ll never understand why the Lakers just got rid of Zubac for no reason

I tend to forget that the Pacers exist, but they’ve been good for a while now

Welp... twas a fun season. Overachieved by a mile. This game should've been a blowout. Amen only one who showed up... truly hate it's to the fcking dubs, but such is life.

Please Minne destroy them.

Will be fun to see if the wolves can back it up now that they are the favorite in most predictions. Especially given rest and home court etc.

[RoaryMcTwang]

Fuck yes the Knicks!

[Shitbag]

Fuck yes the Knicks!

Second that emotion!

What a fucking game, unreal coming back from 20 down and love to see OG ball out like that he was the difference in a lot of ways.

Celtics missed 45 threes, a playoff record , so live by the three die by the three I guess.

Brunson also still super clutch despite missing a fairly easy shot at the end of regulation that probably would have ended it, he was incredible as usual.

Stealing one in Boston was what they had to do and they did it, could see this going real deep like 6 possibly 7 games, like I said earlier in the thread Boston can be beat but winning 4 against them will be tough.

knicks in 5

[doomstation55]

Rewarding to watch 20 minutes of foul ball to end the game with an AG dagger.

Nugs in 6.

[Shitbag]

First Knicks pull off OT thriller and then Nugs squeak out win with that Gordon shot, this was quite a quality day of playoff basketball.

Three of the four semi final matchups have the underdog taking a 1-0 lead, I really hope Golden State can do the same against Wolves tomorrow.

[easymoneysniper]

coaching malpractice there from Daigneault. why foul 90 feet from the basket, 10 secs left, up 3, and Jokic watching because he couldnt sub in? absolutely idiotic and unforgiveable. yeah Chet missed those two FTs but we shouldnt have even been in that position.

Jokic is unstoppable and scary as fuck with the ball in his hands late. I'll be happy if it's 2-2 coming back to OKC. this was an inexcusable loss from the Thunder. FUCK

[RoaryMcTwang]

both Nuggets and Knicks steal Game 1? Christmas come early!!!

[Sila]

Hell yes. I'm rooting for the Knicks and the Nuggets in their respective series.

Just caught up on the Denver and OKC game. Wow. I definitely thought OKC had it in the bag. Aaron Gordon with another game winner. Great game to start the series.

[scab]

Wow. Just, wow. Playoff basketball is the best.

As a Knicks fan who expected to be swept I've already got more than I dared to hope for. Everything else, if there were more to come, would just be icing on the cake. And AG's just a stone-cold killer. Respect.

[BallDontLie]

Jokic... crazy. MVP in my eyes. OKC will make the adjustments, but what a W..

Pacers also have them a squad. Myles Turner is on the offseason wish list.

I would love to see a totally random finals like pacers and wolves. Or Knicks and thunder/nuggets...

[Shitbag]

Halliburton overrated?
Ahahahahahahahaha Cavs down 2-0 this is fucking insane, playoff basketball 2025 just keeps on delivering, you’ve gotta love it.

[BallDontLie]

Wow. No lead is safe lol... they were down i think 15? At one point.

[jamersonbass]

Ending of the Cav's-Pacer's game was nuts.  Cav's were up 20 at one point in the 3rd.  Nothing like crunch time in the playoff's.  If you're within 15 you can still pull it off.  Nutty stuff.

[BallDontLie]

Cavs starting to remind of those late 2010s Atlanta hawk teams that had like 5 all stars, but couldn't do shiii in the playoffs. Granted they ran into peak Bron usually lol.

Safe to say i slept heavily on the pacers...

Don’t forget the Pacers had many strong teams that were just on the wrong side of a superstar/superteam

That “most underrated” poll really lit a fire under Tyrese.   

[Silky Johnson]

Take my hammie Steph  :'(

[scab]

I'm still squarely in the camp of doubters in regards to the Pacers. That'll change if and when they beat a team that isn't fighting on one leg. Tyrese talks like he downed the 96 Bulls... yet the one healthy team he's played in his playoff career thus far straight up swept him. The talk-walk ratio still doesn't add up to me.

I'm thinking both the Celtics and Thunder are gonna strike back tonight. Rooting for two more 2-0 series though.

[BallDontLie]

@Atiba Applebum perhaps. There is an alternate universe where PG13 doesn't sustain that leg injury and the pacers challenge the big 3 heat during that run for longer. Same with D Rose   ...


@scab how i feel ab the Cavs. They're hella deep, but you cannot give up a 15-20 pt lead. Could just be a bad matchup. Regardless no excuses. I do think they'll bounce back. Just cool to see the "underdogs" get some. 

I keep forgetting how injured Cleveland is. Played into that loss.

I meant more late 90s, esrly 00s eras where Jordan’s Bulls and the threepeat Lakers held sway and then the Malace at the Palace decimated the team
