NBA Season 2024-25

Wolves were up 2, then 12-0 Golden State lightning quick run

Jesus, now an 18-2 run

Oh wow
I turned off the Cavs Indy game when Strus hit the 3.  Indy dies gave a knack for the improbable. Crusher for the Cavs.

Oh wow, left hamstring strain for Curry and he's out. That may already be series less than halfway through the first game. You don't recover from a hamstring strain in a single series. Even if he comes back, he'll be limited.

Jrue is barely recovered after almost two weeks and we don't really count on him for offense at all. Steph's whole thing is constantly running around on offense and defense. That's a disaster if it more than a mild tweak.

Btw, 31 points for the Wolves at halftime and a cool 1 point and 0-8 from Edwards. The Lakers wondering where this was last round lol

[Atzar]

I don?t think Mitchell can hold up. He can?t play big minutes. He looks gassed hands on hips a lot. And he was on the ground a ton. He?s not in the proper shape for along playoff run. I don?t think he?s gone past the first round before, is that right ?

Second round is as far as he's gotten. 

Regarding the bolded, I always worry about the longevity of some of these dudes who have football bodies playing basketball.  Mitchell is one.  Muscled as hell for his size, built like a bowling ball.  Jaylen has become another.  That's a lot of added stress on those joints over a ton of games, especially for guys making perennial deep playoff runs.  Just seems like most players built like that break down physically sooner or later.

Watching two veteran teams like Denver and Golden State come in focused, compared to that entitled team yesterday is p---ing me off. Letting another inferior team off the hook.

Both those teams have killer mindsets. Our guys seem to lack that killer mindset. They're more of the opposite...always playing with their food.

So far only the dogs have won the second-rounds.

The loss was infuriating, but we literally won the Title last year. Tatum has as many rings as Jokic - who went out in the 2nd round last year. A lot of fans of other teams would love to have our mindset

Amen. I don?t think mindset is an issue with CLE or OKC either.  MIN, yeah, I have questions with Edwards in particular.  Plus I don?t think Edwards is as good as many (including himself) think he is.

You have a history of being moved by a loss.  All good teams lose games and all good teams have clunkers.  Both Denver and GS had clunkers in their first rounds.  Cleveland had a no show in G1 and a melt down in G2.  But you know this. Last year you predicted the Cs losing and they didn?t. Odds are, if you keep noting the Cs inadequacies eventually, when they lose, you?ll be able to say you knew it all along.  The competition for the title is intense every year and this year there are 6 teams who look capable of winning it.  You aren?t the only one who sees the Celtics fold with leads and who don?t trust them at the end of close games. Most of the rest of us also see a team that plays as well as anyone on most nights.  They may not win the title but the chance that they will is still alive.

Yup.  It isn?t the NCAA Tournament.

I don't think Cleveland can come back from an 0-2 deficit. Even if they were suddenly healthy.

I thought this would be a 6 game series at the start. I don't see Cleveland being able to win 4 straight or 4 in 5. Indy are too dangerous. I can't see CLE coming back from this.
