2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Phantom255x]

Bruh and now Middleton is hurt too and limping…

Just put them out of their misery already. Pacers should get ready to face the Knicks. A rematch of the 2013 East Semis.

Ah yes, the good ol' days with PG13 and Carmelo dueling it out that series. It's crazy how much the NBA has changed since, back then it felt like the final scores were like 92-88 or similar lol

OH MY TURNER OVER LOPEZ

Bucks in trouble, down 17. Assuming IND holds, I wonder if they get real desperate and bring back Giannis + Lillard for Game 5. The commentary did say Lillard may come back Game 5 and Giannis is getting closer.

Has to be, season on the line

Pacers are 19-36 from three.

Both teams shooting 51-53% from the floor but the Pacers hot three point shooting has them ahead. MIL are 8-23 for 35%. Those extra 11pts in made 3s are most of the Pacers 13pt lead heading into Q4.

Tales of the three point line continue.

Oh wow, 14-3 Bucks run now

[Neurotic Guy]

Announcers have been in awe of Indy’s three point shooting. 21-41.   Not as good as Miami’s game two 23-43.

Hilarious that despite missing half their guys, Thanasis truly is the 15th guy on the roster. Even the commentators are laughing at him being out there now with that "hustle/spark"

I mean, he wouldn't even be on the D-league roster for any other NBA team.

Yeah. This will probably be Bronny James next year too for LAL or another team

I was thinking the same thing earlier in the game. Even with all these injuries, even with no athletic big forward / big man to check Siakam, Thanasis still cannot get into the game. He must truly be trash. Not an NBA talent.

It's also clear from this series that unfortunately Galinari is washed and would have never seen the floor on this Celtics squad.

There was someone on this board in the last year or so extolling the Bucks depth and listing Thanasis as an example of how deep the roster was.  Probably was last year I guess before they dumped a bunch of guys to make room for Crowder.  I still chuckle.

That is not a flagrant.

I'd love to see splits on who has held the lead the most in this series. How much game-time has DEN been ahead. How much has LAL been ahead.

This graphic came up in the 4th quarter last night. It has to be pretty demoralizing as a Laker player/fan, but at least they finally won one:

Lakers have led this series for 129:06 Denver has led this series for 41:53. Tied 14:07

I guess you can add 7 minutes to the Lakers lead time since they never relinquished the lead after the graphic showed.

Cool. That is a great stat. Thank you.

The Lakers vs Nuggets has been my favourite series of the First Round. The best combination of competitiveness and high quality basketball.

The 76ers and Knicks has been very competitive too but a lot of bad basketball in that series. The Magic vs Cavs is 2-2 but all their games are blowouts. None have been interesting or all that enjoyable.
