I had to take a 2 hour break from basketball after the Bucks game lol.

But I turned this one on just in time. Hell of a game.

Curious to see how the Knicks look since I was one of probably 3 people who wanted them instead of Indy in round 1.

Good record, but they don't/didn't scare me as much as the Pacers.

Playoff basketball emphasizes how bad the regular season is. In no other sport is the difference this huge.

Harden v. Westbrook. Somebody had to win.

Spurs are happy. They get the Hawks pick.

I was watching the Nuggets/Clippers match and holy crap! It stood out how hard every player other than Jokic was playing.
They were crashing the boards, stealing the ball making shots.

It was incredible!

edit:I meant, Jokic of course is an amazing player and he'll play hard, but it stood out how everybody else other than him stepped up and played hard too.

Beasley is a good example of why it seems like the Buck's problem has more to do with coaching than their players.

Last season Beasley looked like the definition of a losing player. Now he looks like a guy we wish we still had.

Even take Kuzma, when we first got Kuzma he actually looked good and I joked, just wait a couple weeks, he hasn't been infected by Doc Rivers yet. Ended up looking like there was some truth in that.

I want to punch Doc Rivers in the face.

I knew Bulls lost in play-in three years in a row to Miami.

Didn't realize Lavine and DeRozan also went out West to lose in the play-in for the third year in a row.

Bill Kennedy. One of the rare NBA refs who is actually a good ref.
