As long as the 9 or 10 seeds don't sneak in, the West could have 4/4 watchable 1st round series.

I'm not calling that foul on Westbrook in double OT...that was BS and I can't stand Denver

It's probably a foul by the book but games decided by free throws are one of the least watchable things about the NBA. He got the shot off cleanly, call that foul for 3.5 quarters but not there.

Eh, he did not high-five him or have marginal contact, he straight up fell on him and pushed him down while Alexander Walker barely moved from his position.

It's not like Haliburton's 3 weeks back where he ran and jumped sideways while kicking in 2 different directions to force contact to bait a foul.

ps. I'm still mad about that by the way.

Feisty guards to frustrate MPJ and Murray and enough beef up front to make Jokic work, although it didn't work super well tonight.

When is Jokic asking out?

Shout out to Zach Lowe for giving Steven Adams the love he deserves. I know Adams is a dumbass and is playing a limited role this season, but he is so smart on defense and my God if Giannis could ever learn to set a ball screen like him Dame would average 40 a night.

Not being able to beat or even compete with this Knicks team is so lame by us.

Yeah, but Thibs is also a psychopath for playing Delon Wright 30-minutes in an NBA game in 2025.

East playoffs are going to be a big snoozer this year. Boston and Cleveland are so far ahead that we may as well skip the formalities and get to the ECF.

Failing to win 50 games playing in the current eastern conference when you have Giannis & Dame is hilarious. Hilarious in a very bad way, but hilarious.

It would be hilarious even if you just had Giannis.

When you look at the east from top to bottom, it almost doesn't even seem possible that you would fail to win 50 games with Giannis & Dame.

:lol:

I agree the east playoffs are going to be boring as hell.

I don't even think the ECF will be good. Cavs have had a great regular season, but I wouldn't give them much of a chance against Boston in a best of 7 series. Boston will take them out 4-1, maybe 4-2 at the most.

If OKC wins the west, Boston vs OKC would have a chance to be a classic. So hopefully we will at least have that.

I personally believe you do not count out the best player in the conference.

You can't count out Giannis.

I don't watch a lot of non Bucks regular season games but Warriors/Lakers tonight could be interesting.

Silver probably re-assured them he'll rig the lottery so Flagg can go there. (only slightly joking

Ja at the buzzer snaps the Heat winning streak. 27 in the second half
