2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Who]

My biggest concern is not Haliburton. We have Jrue and D-White to cover him. I am more concerned about Turner with KP out, Al on running fumes and Kornet just plain bad.

Turner benefited from playing Brook Lopez in the first round who is one of the slowest least mobile least effective perimeter defenders in the league. Then he played Hartenstein who is okay on the perimeter but more comfortable in the paint playing physical D around the basket.

Horford is a better matchup than either one of them to cover M Turner. He should be able to play Turner to a stand still.

So everyone wants to get on Boston for not playing teams at full strength but the pacers are right there with them.

No giannis and dame in round one
No OG, Randle, Robinson, etc for the Knicks.

Pacers have not played anyone close to full strength yet.

It's one thing when a fanbase like Miami or Cleveland chants "We Want Boston" when they are already scheduled to face Boston, and then Boston beats them in a series.

But it's a whole another thing when your fanbase (New York) chants "We Want Boston" during a different series you haven't even won yet, and then your team doesn't even win that series which would have let them face Boston.

What a bunch of chumps

A defensive battle so far between Denver and Minnesota. Unlike the NY-Indiana game seven, the winner of this game 7 could be the favorite to win it all going forward.

The Wolves defense is really good. So far tonight, suffocating Denver. But MIN needs to also hit some shots, Denver is more than capable of going on a quick run and coming back. Reminds me of the 2022 Celtics, great defense but at times it didn't matter because we couldn't score on offense for stretches too.

I love Mike Conley. He is such a reassuring presence on the floor in a game like this.

And there it is, quick 7 points by Denver.

Did Murray just dribble the ball for that whole shot clock and hit the fadeaway with under 2secs left on the shot clock?

Wolves defense is certainly good but Denver is just missing a lot of shots

Murray just abused NAW in the post there. He's come to play tonight

KAT off to a nice start

Good end to the quarter for DEN. Murray going off so far.

[Who]

J Murray 13pts in 12min Q1

[Who]

Jokic 6pts 5reb 4ast in one quarter.
That is like 24pts 20reb 16ast. Freak.

Jokic and Murray have 19pts of DEN's 24pts.

Ant 1-5 so far tonight as the Denver defense has keyed in on him. This will be a good test of his basketball maturity to see how much he trusts his teammates vs trying to force it in a game 7.
