NBA Season/Playoffs 2025-26

That's an awful loss for Detroit. Magic shot just 25% from 3 (9/35), Suggs in particular was 1/13 shooting AND Wagner didn't play most of the 4th due to injury. Despite that, still lost.

I think they are done, Magic should win this in 6 games.

Man, this was some awful Basketball....Neither team can shoot and a bunch of stupid turnovers too.

Is that Spencer Jones again?

DEN coach refuses to change anything. Even if it ain't working. DEN's defense & rebounding is in trouble. Good news for Minnesota.

It was the same with the Cavs-Raptors game lol. Raptors shot 4-30 from 3 and still won, but both teams were absolutely awful shooting yesterday.

I really do think the Celtics vs. Knicks series could be the real ECF. Cleveland on paper looks deep and great with Mitchell/Harden but even they feel iffy, and they are 2-2 with Toronto for a reason.

[Larry for 3]

Detroit blew this at the trade deadline. They should have traded for MJP. He would have fit perfectly. And he picks up the slack when Cade is doubled. Harris has been ok but nobody scared of him. Missed opportunity for them.

[Who]

Minnesota have a great bench.

They can absorb the losses of Ant and DiVincenzo and still put out a solid team.

G: Conley, Bones Hyland
G: A Dosunmu, Jaylen Clark
F: J McDaniels, T Shannon
F: Randle, Slow Mo
C: Gobert, Naz

Still have 10 solid players they can turn to despite losing their two starting guards including franchise player Ant.

[Phantom255x]

Suns are shooting 52% from 3 (12/23), are 58% overall, and despite that are down 8 to OKC at home. That's absolutely crazy. OKC's offense is just matching them too.

Both teams at his pace might also put up 125+

[Who]

Minnesota are missing Ant. Not just on offense but on defense. Huge difference in terms of the defensive pressure Minny's guards were putting on with Ant there compared to now with Conley & Ayo.

I am happy to see Bones Hyland on. He is more important than Conley. They need Bones' speed, offensive attacking and defensive energy. The guy is pure energy. Conley is the opposite. He is a spent force. He is a calm old head but he shouldn't play too much tonight. I agree with starting him but keep his minutes low (under 20). Play Bones starter's minutes but have him come off the bench because the bench need him with Ayo moving to the starting lineup.

[Who]

Jokic is playing angry. Angry at himself for his poor play last 2-3 games. Coming out looking to score tonight.

[Who]

Julian Strawther!

DEN's coach finally made a change to his rotation. Hooray! It has been a long time coming...

[Who]

Neither one of these teams will pose any threat to San Antonio in the next round. Both are too beat up. Too injured. Minny without Ant. Denver with A Gordon.

Shame. Either one of them could have given us a great series against San Antonio if healthy.

OKC completes sweep, first team to advance to the next round

[Goldstar88]

Jeez, Cade has 8 turnovers again. He had 16 in the previous two games. Now it is 24 turnovers in 3 games.

8 turnovers per game over last 3 games.

Yeah, thats ridiculous. Likely cost them the game.

Magic might just win this in 5 games. Detroit has struggled with Orlando all series long even at their own Motor City

Down goes Nazz Reid too after rolling his ankle.
