AROUND THE 2024 NBA PLAYOFFS: 2nd ROUND, MIN vs DEN, OKC vs DAL, BOS vs CLE, IND vs NY

[wizenheimer]

They have:

• 2-way forwards;
• Defense up and down the roster

Julius Randle is injured as well

Kicked balls can't get reviewed? That should go in the replay rule change ideas.

The goofed up "Knicks cheat" call really did look like a kicked ball. It was like a soccer shot, and a defender accidently hit the ball with his hand. Legal on the pitch if you're arms are tucked in, and/or protecting a sensitive area.

This was Brutal!

 

[TBpup]

Two controversial calls at the end of a very close game and SOMEHOW, both go in favor of the large TV market team. I've seen this movie before.....over and over again.

 

[PDXFonz]

Who’s gonna win the championship?

Odds favorite are Boston and for good reason IMO

 

[TYDame]

Celtics by 20. Prove me wrong Cavs

 

[Whyachi]

Boston 1st qtr.
40 points, 0 turnovers

that's a helluva stat

Mobley's hookers aren't going down

Mobley's hookers aren't going down

Perhaps they need more money up front?

 

[Predator]

OKC is a wet dream

 

[TYDame]

I’m ready for Wolves vs Thunder

 

[Whyachi]

Jose Alvarado and his Pelicans pancake may have altered the destiny of the WCF. The Mavs look a step slower against the well rested Thunder team.

HAHAHAHAHA!

SGA 29/9/9

in the playoffs

we need Shaedon to get healthy
and:
learn defense
find an innovative coach
maybe a new owner
trade some vets
pick more top 5 guys over the course of who knows how long it might take.

No pressure

Probably simpler to just list the NBA franchises we have a more talented roster than....

So there's Washington

The end

Knicks fans certainly hsven’t. Last ECF was 24 years ago.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

I’m ready for Wolves vs Thunder

I'm rooting for the Wolves, very fun team to watch and how can you not be happy for that fanbase.

It's super cool that we see Minnesota, OKC, Knicks, Pacers all playing for the conference finals and the glamor LA/GS/Miami/Phx/etc markets were in the lottery or bounced in the first round.

Yeah I know the Knicks are in the #1 market but they almost seem like a small market team in how little success they've had, not having a traditional superstar, and how beat down that fanbase has been. Super fun team to watch as well.

Agree: They are a very fun team to watch. I am rooting for them.

How can I not be happy for their fan base? It is quite easy as my memory of how obnoxious they are is still fresh in my mind

You'll have to remind me when? Batum offer?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

You'll have to remind me when? Batum offer?

Yes. This forum was flooded with dick pics by Wolves fans after Batum was matched.

 

[Hoopguru]

At times when I watch Chet I see a slight resemblance of Walton with his beard and he got his hair cut.

 

[Whyachi]

I think Coach Carlisle just got tossed. The rough & scrappy Knicks blew his gasket

 

[TYDame]

The pacers don’t really play defense, they just try to out score you. The Knicks can’t even score 100 points against the Sixers

Miller loves this. He knows he will forever be Hated/Loved. What better tribute to your playing days than to be asked to come and announce a game between your old team and one of their biggest rivals.

Pacers filing complaint regarding 70 plus missed calls. GTF outta here. I got no horse in this race and I am just not seeing blatant missed calls. They are getting out-played. Makes them look bad to complain in the playoffs. Anti-small market team conspiracy bias. S

Refs miss calls all the time. They normally even out. The conspiracy nutjobs that the league is against certain teams is absolute comedy to me. Grown men actually believe this.
