2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

That Minnesota team looks scary & no one talking bout them..they just dismantle the Suns in 3 games so far

Wow the Wolves might go ahead and fast sweep the Suns, so much for my Wolves in 7

My Mavs in 7 pick so far looking beautiful.

I have Bucks in 7 assuming Giannis returns. Maybe he does but sounds like Lillard might be hurt too (Doc mentioned something "Achilles", oof) and honestly that was a brutal loss for MIL last night when Middleton also went off. Indiana seems to be gaining a lot of steam, they just seemed nervous in Game 1 with a lot of playoff debuts and such. Indiana winning Game 4 would be huge.

On a side note, I absolutely loved seeing Haliburton just cross over Beverley and abuse him on that game-winning shot in OT. Beverley talks the talk but usually can't back it up in these big moments, probably why he gets shipped around every deadline/offseason.

Complete flip from the regular season when Suns were 3-0 against Minny with the closest win being 10 points and two of the wins occurring in April.

I said before the season I felt Ant was gonna have a spectacular season (MVP-lite) and also go off in the playoffs, that it was his time to shine. Maybe he wasn't a true MVP in the season, but so far he's doing just that in the postseason. Love Ant. He wasn't bad last postseason but he wasn't consistent and also had some duds especially that Lakers play-in game.

A Minnesota-Denver series would be amazing.

This year looks like changing of the look in NBA..Warriors didn’t make it & both Lakers & Suns gotta lose in first round plus not looking good for the Clippers who I thought win West..Father Time remains undefeated..but great to see Dallas, Minnesota & OKC start taking over the West along with Denver..plus next season Spurs & Houston will be a lot better

[perks-a-beast]

Anthony Edwards doing the obscene D-X gesture to the Suns might be the highlight of the season for me LOL

Really would like to see Orlando carry the momentum and even that series 2-2.

Assuming we win our series, at least the other team won't have extra rest either, plus there could still be hope Orlando wins the series if it's 2-2, as I think Orlando would be an easier opponent than Cleveland with their size and Mitchell.

I was going to put up a post about this. It's the "changing of the guard" for NBA royalty in the West:
Outgoing: Curry, Thompson, LeBron, Davis, Durant, Leonard
Incoming: Doncic, Edwards, SGA, Jokic, Murray

The next era of basketball.

Wolves have looked solid, but I see it's against a defense-less Suns team.

They'll be ousted in the second round due to their inexperienced-ness. Tho hopefully they give the defending champs some problems at least.

Dame with an Achilles injury. Not sure we see him again for a while.

East is so watered down. If Boston could only get out of their own way.

This run literally opens the door for Boston to appear in the Finals. They just aren't capitalizing it and rather play with their food.

So what that they lost game 2 on a very hot 3pt shooting night by the heat.  No reason to think they won't win tonight to go up 2-1 and they could win the series 4-1.  Glad I wasn't around Celtics fan forum in 2008 when that team was taken to 7 games in the 1st two playoff series.

Mitchell may be on his way to a 40 point game here. Update this did not happen lol

Geeze, looking likely that there’s no Dame or Giannis for Game 4. I think if there’s any question then you sit both of them and hope they can return for Game 5.
