2024-25 NBA Season / Playoffs

How long did GS sign Butler for? Sort of vanished when they needed him.

Man, sucks that Curry went down. That would have been a good series. GS is clearly much much worse without him. Shocker..

GS would have won in 5 or 6. He was doing anything he wanted before he got injured in game 1. I think Minnesota loses in the WCF pretty handedly no matter who’s their opponent.

Thunder are the favorites but if Denver pulls it off, Minnesota has their number.

I think Game 6 of Knicks/Celtics is the most interesting NBA playoff game since that Game 7 between Cavs/Warriors in 2016.

Really starting to hate OKC. They get touch calls no one else gets in the playoffs.

Is it their fault? You aren’t suggesting impropriety on their part or the league office ‘wanting OKC to win,’ right?

I legitimately think if you swapped out Jokic for an average center on the Nuggets, the Nuggets would have like the third pick in this year's lottery.

Jokic is first all time in PER and that is counting the ABA. He is first all time in BPM.

Mind you, the next two in both of those stats for a career are Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Obviously I want the Knicks to win. New York City would be a den of mayhem for a week if that happened.

But there is Jokic and then there is the next tier (Giannis, Luka, SGA).

Not what I was saying. SGA is about as bad as prime Harden throwing his body around to get calls on contact. The GS/Houston series was like a different sport compared to what’s being called in this series. Houston bear hugged Curry that entire series and mostly got away with it.

Would be like the late 90's Spurs that year Robinson went down and they ended up winning the lottery getting Duncan.

I agree - anyone who needs to reignite their career should go play at Denver for a year. You will never look better, or at least have the opportunity to look good. Guy is amazing.

I was expecting him to go for 30-40 points each game with Curry out.

I at least expected him to take more shots than anyone else on the team. He shrank away.

Not at all nervous. Not at all!!!

Totally. My fingernails no longer exist for a completely different reason.

I think Malone's rotations helped to juice some of those metrics in Jokic's favor, but yeah, the guy is an absolutely incredible offensive player. I wish he didn't flop so much, but aside from that, it's hard to envision a more fun player to watch in the NBA.

What about Jokic and his d liability? My buddy thinks Jokic is an all time offensive player but doesn’t have him at the top currently because he’s not elite on d end.

I think he is clearly #1. He doesn’t block shots but he’s very active on that end.

Is this the same buddy who didn’t think Curry was that good?

He led the league in defensive BPM 3 years in a row prior to this year and been in the top 10 of defensive win shares 5 times. He has elite hands and is one of the best defensive rebounders of all time.

I think tonight is must win for both teams. I don't see the Knicks winning game 7 in Boston if they drop 2 in a row with a chance to close it out.

 

[Eric15]

I wonder if there has ever been an NBA playoffs where zero 1 or 2 seeds made the conference finals.

I dug this up.

Jaylen Brown is 5/9 from the field. The rest of the team is 6/26.

Knicks with a tremendous 1st half. Very excited to hopefully see them close this out. 27 point lead at halftime in a close out game, OMG. They came to play tonight.
