So Denver won again?

Akphillips86 · 05-08-2025, 07:13 AM

87 points in the first half from the Thunder? Maybe letting that lead slip in game 1 flipped a switch.

Just saw that Shai set a playoff record for +\- with +51. Not too shabby.

Celtics have a 7 footer who is soft and missing from the series.

Yes, exactly.

Just relishing this video of "7-point comeback in less than 60 seconds, part one and two." I think this is the guy who usually yells, and now there is an admiring hush in his voice.

Looking forward to all the Panini Instants of Haliburton, Giannis, Mitchell exclusively, with maybe a Nembhard, Siakam, or Mathurin sprinkled in if the design team gets wild.

If they use this "submission dominance" photo of Mitchell however I will buy it.

Home teams are 1-6 with a +16 point differential in the second round.

Weirdest playoff round ever.

Ant down and shaking his head. A series without Ant or Curry would be something.

It certainly will be a struggle to watch without those two -- haha.

Hopefully both can get back on the court to lead their teams.

This thread dead.

Maybe we'll get some playoff Jimmy.

fabiani12333 · 05-08-2025, 09:11 PM

Warriors with a run in the 3rd, making this game interesting.

eastbayak · 05-08-2025, 09:11 PM

Shocked to see the Dubs only down 7 given how poorly they’ve been playing.

Spoke too soon -- they just followed up their run with a crappy stretch and it's back to a 12 point game. Still plenty of game left, but they can't be turning the ball over.

BlueXtreme · 05-08-2025, 09:18 PM

I really don’t understand the back and forth with Kuminga. Sometimes he’s sat down for games at a time. Other times he comes in and provides a spark. Think he needs some consistency for his confidence.

That would be the most logical conclusion.

Still, there has been some crazy stuff happening in the playoffs the last week.

He's very athletic but very streaky and also makes a lot of boneheaded plays

Yeah.. I don’t believe Kerr thinks too highly of his basketball IQ.

Kuminga is still too raw. He's explosive and has the ability to score with ease. But he also makes a lot of dumb decisions (e.g., unnecessary fouls on the defensive end, doesn't seem to like kicking the ball out to an open shooter when in the key with multiple defenders around him, can't consistently hit the FTs when he's bailed out by a foul call in the aforementioned situation, etc).

He also thinks he's a max guy while unable to perform like a max guy (I'm sure there's a lot of behind-the-scenes drama with him).

They have no chance.

I'm not sure they had much chance winning the series even with a healthy Curry spice.

Ant is fine, and Currly probably won't play again this season.

But yeah, the dubs are done (for this year... and for awhile).
Curry had a good run, but he's old as dirt, as is grandpa Dray.
Maybe Steph can go join LeBron for a trio of star names - but a team that can't win much?

Cavs about to straight murder Indy.

Nomad · 05-09-2025, 06:59 PM

It's scientifically proven. When they revert to playing keep away from Nemith, Indy falls way behind.

Don't worry, he'll lead us there.

Nice to see Mathurin having a game.

And Shep gets chest bumped.

And score even.

all is right in the world.
