2026 NBA Playoffs

Announcer says Tatum is a superman. Jeez...they're playing a Philly team that doesn't really even belong in the playoffs. A total mismatch.

[Deleterious]

Boston looks like most of us suspected.

No layoff hangover for them.

I understand it has to happen because of the playin games.  But having all the 1's and 2's go on the same day makes for a bad day of basketball.  

[Deleterious]

No timeout?  I mean, why would you want to set something up for one of the best clutch players in the game.

 

[Deleterious]

Never mind, people are saying the Knicks didn't have a TO left.

How long before the Knicks move off of Brunson?  Forget how bad of a defender he is.  The ISO ball at the end of games and basically freezing KAT out in the 4th quarter has to stop.  Most thought it was a Thibs thing, but it still happens with Brown so that tells me it is 100% on Brunson.

I don't think Cavs can make a deep run or anything, but they look damned good so far

give kat the ball in the 4th quarter in crunch time and watch how fast he gives it back to brunson.

If he is being passive, sure.  But when aggressive there isn't a more talented scoring big in the league other than Jokic.

Victor left the game.

First two games were interesting for sure.  Don't think I had Scoot's best game as a pro on my bingo card.  Or Boston losing a home game.

[Deleterious]

Edgecombe had 30 tonight.  First rookie since Tyler Herro in 2020 to do that.  

[Deleterious]

Just how many teams does KD have to blow up before people start saying he's the problem?

Detroit, New York and Boston all lose home games. A Trifeca. I never would have guessed that. Even though Atlanta scares me. But Philly? 

[Deleterious]

Rough season for Williams.

[Betrayer]

Pretty sure we're all doubtful about Joel Embiid at this point.

[Deleterious]

They need to look at the challenge rules this summer.  You should keep your challenge if you're successful.  

Hawks just challenged two plays, both successful.  Now they have to go the entire 4th quarter without a challenge because the refs screwed up two plays.  That is so dumb.

watch this 4th quarter.  kat's just standing there in the corner.  when mcbride or brunson have the ball.

Wow. Atlanta beats NY again. I love seeing the Knicks lose but....if Atlanta wins this series and Boston beats philly, the Pistons would have to play the Hawks. And I don't want any part of Atlanta. I would rather play the Cleveland-Toronto winner.
