It's awesome to see Lowry out there still contributing and helping his team deep into the playoffs. Nice to see the old guys still be effective and helping their teams. Even when in a smaller role.

I liked it better when he sucking last season.

Honestly is there a more overrated sports franchise in North America than the New York Knicks?

Given all the media coverage they receive, they have an all time win percentage of .485. To put that in perspective, that’s 17th, behind Denver, Indiana & Atlanta.

The Celtics & Knicks both started in the NBA in 1946-47, yet the Celtics have amassed over 600 more wins than the Knicks.

Got to respect  what the heat are doing.

I feel the same way about Lebron

Miami with the upset in Game 1 and stealing home-court advantage. Wild, this Heat team playing like last year's Heat team.

I notice that Lowry isn't even foul-hunting or flopping foolishly every other play like he did constantly last season. And that's probably a good thing for Miami. He can still be engaged and make good plays on the court. I just thought last year he focused more on the flopping than actually playing and it didn't help him or the team. It was annoying at times as an opponent obviously, but Lowry didn't really impact that ECF series either

Makes me wonder if Miami tried tanking that play-in game to draw Milwaukee in the first-round, knowing they're built to expose the Bucks taking advantage of their poor defense and deploying the wall-up D on Giannis. Then, they get to play between Cavs/Knicks lol. Regardless, the Heat is pretty decent. Props to Coach Spo making these adjustments.

It's a shame Warriors-Kings is only one series. It's been box office

Kind request for a moratorium on ‘old’ being used for guys in their mid to late 30’s. For reasons that have nothing to do with my own mortality  ;D

Yeah, nothing awesome about Lowry. The first awesome thing Lowry will ever do is retire

Game 7 intensity between GSW and SAC. Both teams so far wanting it.

Consensus here seems to be that the Warriors represent the tougher challenge for the Lakers.  That's all I care about in the West... that Lakers lose.  So I'm rooting Warriors.

Beating LA in the finals would be a good consolation prize if we can't get revenge on GS
