Lakers got hosed down the line there. Wow, never thought I’d see the day

[Plossum]

Hard to see anyone beating Denver if they stay healthy. They just know what to to do in every spot. Never look overwhelmed.

These 2 and 7 match ups have been great tonight.

I would prefer a little less cardiac in our game against the Pacers tomorrow, is possible.

Playoff basketball magnifies how lame the endless regular season is.

Original whiteness Donte outplayed OG and Brunson maybe he's really for real now

The team is very well coached and it shows.
And honestly, Jokic is a matchup nightmare.
Maybe the biggest guy in the league that has also some of the best footwork in it.
How many teams even have the personnel to actually guard him?
From those in the playoffs right now, I can only think of the 76ers, the Heat, the Timberwolves and us. And a maybe on Celtics and the Clippers.
He's like Giannis, he'll get his own, you can only slow them down.

Donte with confidence & a clutch shot is a scary foe.

Definitely need Giannis for the Knicks.

I'll take any win tonight as long as everyone stays healthy

I got trading Donte at the time, but always will miss the dude's preternatural feel for the game.

Awful at the time, worse in hindsight. Mostly because it was obvious Serge was cooked before we traded for him. If you're giving up a promising young player like Donte, inconsistent shot and all, you need to be getting a rotation guy back. Oh well, very happy for him.

Biggest loser GM, biggest loser superstar, and biggest whiny, loser head coach in basketball. All coming together in a perfect marriage for the biggest loser-energy franchise in all of pro sports.

Lebron had a good game, but you really see his age on his drives these days. He just doesn’t elevate and have the quickness he used to. Even with that said, I’m sure he’s kicking himself on his rim finishing. He was coming up short and just didn’t have his touch at the rim. He has that with him, and the series would be tied.

This game was also very much the story of AD. Brilliant at times, but not able to always physically assert himself. He sorta disappears for long stretches, and then settles for finesse takes.

It’s definitely recoil for me, but I still absolutely hate the “most talented power forward ever” statements, because I can’t help but take that as the Giannis slight that it originally was. At this point, it’s just a comment to give flowers to AD, and that’s fine, but I still struggle to take it at face value.

Looked pretty spry on that steal, fast break, and dunk near the end to me.

Maybe premature, but this Cavs/Magic series looks pretty done already. They had a fun season, but Orlando just doesn't have the offensive firepower to hang against anyone in the playoffs. I'll at least give Cleveland a puncher's chance vs. Boston in Round 2. That frontcourt can lock up the paint on defense and if it then turns into a Mitchell vs. Tatum/Brown pull-up 3 contest, anything can happen.

Ooooh, that's rich. Hope they get swept despite wanting it to go 7.
