Oh well, here we go, game 7. No disrespect to the other teams but are these the inofficial finals?

scab · « **Reply #5701 on:** May 15, 2025, 11:38:05 PM »

Again, what a game. Julian Strawther deciding a playoff game 6 was not on my bingo card, but that's exactly what makes sports interesting. I still think OKC got it in 7 but Denver acquitted themselves very well. I don't think very many people saw them pushing the Thunder this hard after the Malone firing. Kudos.

Jamal Murray flu game 💪🏻

Shoutout to Braun too puttin up 23/11/5 playin great D, they need to run Strawther/SWatson out there more since MPJ is a complete non factor and Russ just can’t be trusted.

BING BONG tonight the Knicks were like “Oh you guys like being up by 20 huh? We gonna go up 20. We going up 30, shit we going up 40!

Hats off the Celtics are a great team and they did what they could with no Tatum and they really did die by the three, I knew they were beatable and they proved it, bring on the Pacers like it’s 1995 I’m like Bart Scott, CAN’T WAIT!!

Also game 7 on Sunday in OKC bout to GO OFF!
Hope the Nugs can make it happen but Gordon looks like he’s hurt.

My hat stays on. Fuck all teams that start with C (except the Cavs) and I will feel satisfaction at the Celtics historic inability to repeat … minus those Russell titles

easymoneysniper · « **Reply #5705 on:** May 16, 2025, 11:50:27 PM »

bing bong go Knicks!! fun to see the city go crazy.

Pretty damn scared of game 7 on Sunday. If the Nugs role players show up again like game 6 then OKC might be done-zo. JDub gotta step the fuck up unless he wants to be a part of the Giannis trade package this summer. Whoever comes out the west winning it all. Love to see all these different squads making runs. Knicks v Pacers gonna be fun and chippy as hell

Hell yeah Knicks! I had my doubts until the last game but maybe this is the year when they finally get over the hump. On paper they have one of the best teams in the league this year without doubt, and now they've won series against one good and one champion-level team... eight more wins!

Atiba Applebum · « **Reply #5707 on:** May 17, 2025, 08:07:45 AM »

We’re a long ways from thinking the Knicks best move would be a first round exit in order to secure Malone

Outside of the Nuggets, it would be big for any of the remaining teams to win the title, though it would be wild for Adelman to win a championship having coached more post season games than regular ones. I must be mellowing in my old age bc I can’t really hold it against him for being the son of the Sac Kings coach from the Shaq/kobe era.

As a MN sports fan (cursed), this is the Twolves year. We need this shit

scab · « **Reply #5709 on:** May 18, 2025, 07:12:04 AM »

AG with a grade 2 hammy strain... Such a bummer. I don't see any way for the Nuggets to win without him tonight.

Game is about to start and they say he will be in the starting lineup.
How long he will be able to go is up in the air, hopefully longer than OG with the Knicks last year in a similar situation, OG only went like 5 minutes, I hope AG can contribute and help the Nugs ultimately win.

I really like okc and the rise of a young team but the amount of fouls they get away with makes me cheer for nuggets rn.

Silver told Nico that if he trades Luka to his beloved Lakers then he'd be rewarded with Cooper. total bullshit and they're not even trying to hide it.

nervous about game 6 in Denver. I think it's gonna be OKC in 7. Wolves lookin real solid. Knicks in 6. Knicks v Pacers is a real old school matchup i like it. Wolves v OKC would be spicy with Ant and SGA having some competitive flare-ups in the past. Hoops baby!!!

Conspiracy theory’s or not Dallas is about to be the third biggest market in the United States in the next few years and the fan base desperately needs a spark.

Atiba Applebum · « **Reply #5713 on:** May 18, 2025, 04:05:35 PM »

Will be interesting if the finals are the two sides of the KAT trade

doomstation55 · « **Reply #5714 on:** May 19, 2025, 08:24:25 AM »

Bummed the Nugs couldn’t pull it off but happy they had a hell of a series. Games 4 and 5 were the killers, if they have a 4th quarter lead they should close the game out, but the Thunder have a stifling D and took care of business.

Hoping they make changes next year, MPJ has been a complete non factor for too long so hope they can get some pieces for him. Gonna be tough with that contract tho…

Also for the love of god get a backup big worth a damn, im a fan of Deandre Jordan as a person but when hes unplayable in the playoffs and making the bench squad shoulder up with small ball in the non Jokic minutes will kill them every time.

BallDontLie · « **Reply #5715 on:** May 19, 2025, 09:50:21 AM »

Okc went on a 14-0? Run with joker on the bench... crazy. They def need to give him some help. He's number one in every offensive stat this play offs lol

And Giannis potentially coming to the western conference, gonna be a blood bath...

parasocial skater · « **Reply #5716 on:** May 19, 2025, 10:13:35 AM »

9 shot attempts in a game 7?? 1 shot attempt in the second half?? Not my MVP

Shitbag · « **Reply #5717 on:** May 20, 2025, 12:39:48 PM »

Disappointed the Nugs could not do anything past the first quarter on Sunday but clearly OKC I a superior team and deserves to be where they are.
Also SGA is MVP by a mile, and I really like Jokic.

I got the ECF I wanted with Pacers/Knicks, I’m 100% rooting for Minnesota (although I am not an Ant fan at all I respect his whole game however) in the WCF because I think Knicks/Wolves would just be by far the most interesting Finals matchup, imagine KAT and Randle going at it and Brunson and Ant trading clutch basket after clutch basket, please make this happen.

My wolves wtf

easymoneysniper · « **Reply #5719 on:** May 21, 2025, 12:16:51 AM »

good W for OKC but man it's painful to watch Shai hoop. dude just foul baits and flops all game. don't get me wrong, hid mid-range game and slashing ability is next-level, but fuck man, i can't even enjoy watching us win while he takes FT after FT and gets a ton of questionable calls.

Thunder defense is suffocating and relentless tho. Defense wins championships baby lets go!!

Yeah, it definitely hurts his appeal, same with brunson when he kicks back his head mid drive as if someone knocked him out. But credit to the thunder defense and their intensity as a whole. Hope the wolves can bounce back. Good game by Randle again. Now it is time for Ant to deliver or shut up.

parasocial skater · « **Reply #5721 on:** May 21, 2025, 01:49:00 PM »

wolves dont win that even if SGA wasnt getting those calls.

OKC's gameplan to let the wolves take 3s while they clog the paint is a great strategy

Cuban_Lynx · « **Reply #5722 on:** May 21, 2025, 04:50:49 PM »

As much as I want the Wolves to get this, my guess is OKC in 6.

Usually not a Pacers fan, but I’ve know Tyrese since he was a little kid. Hyped to see him make the EC finals.

Holy shit that fucking Knicks Pacers game was the craziest ending I have seen in for fucking ever!

Knicks were up 14 with 2:51 left and choked so hard, but hats off to this fucking guy Nesmith, Jesus lord I’ve never seen anything like it he just kept raining threes and then the last fucking shot by Haliburton !
There was no way that fucking ball bounced that high off the rim and came straight back the fuck down and went in.
A toenail away from a three point game winner.
Overtime, shit the Knicks had it but you gotta finish in this league.
It remains: no lead is safe.

One of the greatest games I’ve seen just not the ending I wanted.

Love the playoffs!
This shit is insane.

Holy fuck! I’ve been battling Covid/pneumonia all week, so I went to bed when they were down 17 in the 4th. Halliburton had two of the craziest comebacks in these playoffs. Never count them out. I love to see this after KAT getting cocky and Brunson getting 12 free throws.

This wasn’t even the craziest ending for the Pacers this playoffs.

Well, damn. This game had pretty much everything I was afraid of going into the series. I guess the best thing from a Knicks perspective is that Haliburton got his choking celebration out of the way in game 1 and I don't have to fear it anymore.
