NBA Playoffs 2023

All I ask if that the Knicks get this series to Game 6. Jimmy Butler will have other ideas though.

I rather the C's just play the rest of their games at Wells Fargo Arena. TD Garden is cursed this season for whatever reason.

If they lose tomorrow I'm going to be fully convinced of it 

Next season I'd purposely root for them not to be a Top-2 seed LOL

The Heat actually have a killer instinct that I wish we did…

I am starting to believe that we have entered a new era in NBA basketball, where there is minimal differentiation between the top-tier and middle-of-the-pack teams.

Bam, Strus, and Butler will be the key guys to neutralize in the ECF, for whoever is their opponent. Tyler will be back by ECF, how convenient for them and another weapon to consider stopping. They are playing like a #1 seed, disguised as an 8-seed.

Maybe, I also think it was just a weird year where really good teams had uncharacteristically bad regular seasons for a variety of different reasons and there were young over achieving teams that played over there head in the regular season.

Heat are largely the same team this year as they were last and last season they were the 1 seed

Load management and injury prone players have muddied the regular season standings.

So of course the Warriors and their stars just decide to forget how to shoot against the Lakers… 

[SparzWizard]

Already 6 FTs for the Lakers to GSW's 0 in the 1st quarter.

And wouldn't this be fitting, Warriors getting eliminated by a western conference foe like the Lakers and LeBron.

Come on. Box out. If you are going to box anyone out, it's AD. Do your job.

Why does Vanderbilt have only 6 minutes played?

Did he get injured?

[hpantazo]

Did Gary Payton II really vomit in his mouth and then run to the locker room?

[celticsclay]

Why does Vanderbilt have only 6 minutes played?

He is a role player? He has played 15 minutes in two of their last 4 playoff games. People are oddly fascinated by him on this forum

[celticsclay]

Warriors literally only in this game cause of how bad Lebron has been. He is the worst starter in plus minus of starters by a mind blowing 11 points at -9

Wondering when the average fan gets past but he has points…
