NBA Season 2024-25

[Silas]

117-95, Fakers lose...what a pity. 

[Who]

Idk, Lebron today felt very ordinary. I know they fell behind 20+ but even early in the game he was mostly invisible it felt like. Doncic had 37 and they didn't even come that close in the 2nd half. Weird to see.

LeBron hasn't been as good since he got hurt. Made a lot of bad decisions today on when and who to attack off the dribble. Kept putting himself in bad positions.

Yeah I expect him to bounceback and Lakers will still win this series. But maybe it's just, I'm so used to seeing Lebron elevate his game and go beast mode in the playoffs, single-handedly doing a ton and today for the first time felt like he wasn't really in the game. He still had 19-5-3 but it felt very ordinary for his standards

[Who]

J McDaniels = 11-13 FGA 25pts 9reb
Naz Reid = 8-12 FGA 23pts 2blk 5reb

Other than those 2 guys, I don't think LAL will be unhappy with what they saw from the other Minny T'Wolves players. Ant 8-22 FGA. Randle 7 turnovers. Gobert 2pts 6reb. Donte 9pts.

Those two guys balled out. Red hot shooting.

I think the Lakers are winning the next four. This was like a Celtics/Bucks 2019 series where the road team took Game 1 before getting swept. LeBron was playing hurt.

[SparzWizard]

When Myles Turner was shouting at the crowd "We want F-ing Boston" after smoking the Bucks in Game 1 of the first round.

They should worry about beat the Bucks first, and if they do, they still need to get past the Cavs. I bet both teams are licking their chops right now.

117-95, Fakers lose...what a pity.

Missed the game but what a joy to see that the Wolves smoked the Lakers in LA in Game 1.  Great start.  Keep it up.

Hahaha I seen where lot of so called experts had them going to Finals?I said they wouldn?t get pass second round & now maybe not first!!

[perks-a-beast]

MIA making the playoffs means they fall out of the lottery. Therefore, they lose their pick.

OKC gets their pick - because of course they do.

Hope getting swept by the Cavs is worth it, heat culture.

They were running in mud last night.  Love it.

SGA is such a foul merchant. He?s the new Harden.

[Who]

That Q1 has gotta scare Memphis. They kept SGA quiet and OKC's offense still blew them out of the building. Never a good sign to see their role players making 3s. Those guys gotta be off for MEM to have a chance.

[Who]

MEM offense looks ugly without Morant on the floor.

Not enough quickness. Not enough dribble penetration. Not enough creative passing. Everything is stodgy. Everything is in front of the defense. They are making it easy for OKC to pressure them defensively. And OKC is too good defensively to give them that advantage.

They might need to play Morant 45 minutes a night in this series.

[Phantom255x]

OKC easily has the best playoff crowd and atmosphere

It?s them, Utah and Indiana with the best playoff crowds

They look like a team that fired their coach with 10 games left in the season.
