I want the pacers to lose but I’d hate for Spike Lee to ever see the Knicks get to the finals

More so for the marketing folks but the Bucks are dumb as hell for never having a “green out” for the playoff games

Reggie thinking that should be offensive foul is hilarious. It's a normal drive from OG with an unfortunate knee to the balls.

That was shocking ( and hilarious) that a former NBA player thought that was an offensive foul.

Brunson reminds me of Travon Davis. Always getting into trouble leaving his feet with nowhere to go with the ball. Ugly, ugly turnovers.

Good first half though. Both of these teams came to play. Fun to see.

Couldn't have scripted a worse start to the 3rd for New York. Ouch.

Even in the 1st quarter this game had that feel that it would only be a matter of time before the Pacers busted it open.

I’ve been impressed with Anunoby but KAT is basically Drew Gooden

It's not so bad.

Thunder vs Pacers is by far the better match up.

And even though I have never witnessed the Bucks losing in the finals. I can't think of anything worse as sports as a fan than seeing your team get all the way to the Finals and losing.

The NBA is a such a long 9 month grind. Imagine getting alllll the way to the Finals and you have the trophy almost in your grasp, but you come up just short.

Your team losing the super bowl sucks. But even in football, you just have to play well in January and win 3 games to make it.

I love that in a conference finals game involving the Knicks that the most famous hooper in the building is 23 year old woman sitting courtside.

Imagine winning the first two and home and dropping 4 straight in the finals. And then the franchise implodes. Poor Suns.

I didn't watch a ton of Knicks games in the regular season. But watching them in the playoffs, especially in this series, they remind me a ton of the Bucks. Not so much in style but in mentality.

Hilariousy low collective BBIQ.

Can only play well in short flurries.

Soft.

You can tell their runs are fake from 5000 miles away.

They are a slightly better version, but mentality wise they are a carbon copy of the Bucks.

Did Deuce step out of bounds there? Looked in to me on replay, but I'm watching on my phone.
