I don't think the Pels have much of a shot against the Kings without Zion. And I do think a Thunder-Kings series could be electric and one that goes 6, possibly even 7 games.

I got NOLA. I think all the right teams will have won these play in games.

Sabonis is such an underrated player in this league.

Celtics/Heat, Nuggets/Lakers starting off their playoffs with conference finals rematches.

Hope the Kings win. Zion is the only player worth watching on the Pelicans.

I like Trey Murphy’s game. He has a smooth high arching jumpshot

Nobody has crapped their pants harder in this game than Keegan Murray.

Somehow I agree with you and think he’s one of the most overrated players in the league at the same time.

Fox needs to do a better job getting his teammates involved. I think the Kings should have kept Halliburton, TBH.

I love his game.

He could be the 4th best player on a title winning team. He gets too lost in the shuffle there in New Orleans with Ingram and Zion. Then with Herbert Jones as their main stopper. Trey Murphy deserves a bigger role.

So the two teams with missing stars (Heat with Buckets, Pels with Zion) end up the winners...maybe the Bulls and Kings were lulled into a false sense of security? Or maybe they were just bad  :angel:

Bulls sucked and did not belong. But the Kings were without Monk and Huerter. But also to keep in mind, the Pelicans were consistently the #6 seed that somehow fell into the play-ins.

Impressive video summary of Isaiah Hartenstein.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBaeuJowOSs

49 games as a starter. 28mpg.

8.7ppg 9.4rpg 3.1apg 68.9% TS%
1.3spg 1.2bpg 1.4tpg

Over a 2:1 AST:TO ratio is great for a center. 3 dimes a game is a strong number for a center especially one who is not that involved in the offense. Some nice passes in that highlight video. I don't watch the Knicks much. I have to say I haven't noticed his passing so this was a surprise to me.

Those defensive impact stats are phenomenal.

I wonder how much he'll get in FA this summer. I was thinking an MLE to a bit above the MLE prior to this video and looking at his stats. Now I wonder if he is more of a $20mil per year guy.
