I mean, the Knicks getting an officiating advantage? Who would've thought?!? :lol:

My question is: do they get the same love against Boston?

Silver's snake head might explode trying to figure that out.

While I’m going for the Knicks just because they have the best chance of knocking off the Celtics, the officiating g has been pretty bad.

Celtics fans booing and walking out with 6:00 to go. Pathetic, but not surprising.

Starting to think that Jaylen Brown contract is going to age like unrefrigerated milk.

Felt like the Cavs would give them a run for their money since they have the size to compete with them (and I think Mitchell is the best player in the series), but felt it was too much for them after game one. Might be a good series after all. I wonder what Boston does to the roster if they lose in the second round.

I love Chet, he’s got that dawg in him. I’m about to make an insane comp but I could see him being Bill Russell to Wemby’s Wilt Chamberlain. Wemby is gonna put up crazy numbers but Chet is just a winning player in so many ways.

OKC went from a 10 seed to the 1 seed with essentially the same rotation with the addition of Chet. Obviously, OKC is young so a lot of players have gotten better since last year but he’s absolutely a skeleton key for the modern NBA.

PJ Washington with a fantastic game tonight. Yet another role player Sixers fans were begging for that we couldn’t find a way to acquire.

PJ Washington is a nice player but that was a ridiculous game he had. He shot 32% in the regular season from three and 43% overall. But its amazing an average player can have a crazy game like that and help a team win and important playoff game and meanwhile we paid a guy 180 million and was told he was a star that guy literally had zero playoffs games of that kind of impact in five years.

https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/275664/Jayson-Tatum-Narrative-Says-Were-A-Superteam-But-We-Didnt-Get-Rewarded-Like-We-Are

Nothing Tatum says is outrageous, but it's not a good look for your best player to whine about media treatment after getting blown off the floor at home in a playoff game and booed by your own fans. It's hard to imagine a Jordan, Kobe, or Magic doing that.

Agree, it's hard to fathom how little return we received on $180m the idiots gave to The Assassin.

The only thing he Assassinated was a half-decade of Embiid's prime.

If the Pacers don’t win with Brunson on an injured foot and Anunoby and Robinson out for pretty much at least the series, they are as fraudulent as the Sixers. How lucky could they be to get a dead in the water Milwaukee in the first and now a crippled Knicks in the second?
