NBA Season 2021-22

Prediction, Memphis will come back and make it a good game.   They may have built to big a hole to win, but it will be close in the 4th quarter.

It’s fairly safe bet. We saw it twice yesterday (with both teams actually winning) more variance than ever with two teams that play at this pace and hit 3 point shots. They have already cut it from 26 to 15

Timberwolves gonna Timberwolf

Good call there at the half.

I haven't seen much of Desmond Bane this year, but I've been following the "we-should-have-had-him" threads. Watching him chop down that T-Wolves lead, yeah, I get it...

Milwaukee should still have no problem beating the Bulls even without Middleton, but their chances of beating Brooklyn or Boston in Round 2 are low if Middleton misses significant time. Even with Giannis I don't think they'd have enough as Middleton's also been their best closer this season.

Best case scenario for Middleton is this is only a 3-4 day thing, but worst case is 8+ weeks if significant, which the MRI today will reveal.

The next few games at Chicago though could be tricky for the Bucks without Middleton

Milwaukee has currently had problems beating Chicago even with Middleton at home. Don't think it's a sure thing that they pass to the 2nd round

Middleton to be evaluated in 2 weeks. Doesn't sound pretty.

Summary of the NBA Playoffs so far:

[celticsclay]

We are probably going to see some crazy runs here. I believe I read this is youngest combination of teams in playoff history. Both teams prone to get rattled and play awful ball for stretches, especially on road.

Actually - were the wolves outta timeouts during that last stretch?

Cuz that was a LONG run without field goals. I totes woulda taken one some 3 mins before the half ended.

Wolves answer with a 17-4 run, now up 20 again

I think both teams are down to three timeouts already
