NBA 2025 NBA Playoffs

[Jack Straw]

So what are we thinking or these playoffs?

Great because of the comebacks/upsets? Or ruined because of injuries?

I don't see anyone stopping OKC at this point

Some of both. Sucks seeing Curry and Tatum out. That said, NY had pretty much taken control of the game by the time Tatum got hurt and it's hard to see Boston coming back from 1-3 even with him. The Pacers are a great story and very fun to watch. Pacers v Knicks should be a lot of fun and I wouldn't completely discount the possibility of the winner of that series winning it all. They would be underdogs against OKC (but probably not against Minn) but they both have showed they can beat a strongly favored opponent (Knicks are still pending of course).

I have been entertained.

Minnesota will stop them handily. OKC is poorly coached with a joke of an offense that boils down to Shay iso's.

The reason they're beating Denver is the Nuggets lack of depth, by the time the 4th quarter rolls around, Denver's players are fried, no more legs and missing all their shots short as a result.

lets go knicks

Cant wait for Indy yo kick the Knicks asses.

OKC will roll over Mini. OKC's weakness is playing against teams with a dominant big man or group and Mini only has Gobert now. Gobert is not a shooter so no worries there. As well they can shut down Ant and Randle with strong perimeter defense.
Regardless of whether Indy or the Knicks go to the final the Thunder will win in 5 or less.

I'm starting to feel bad for Jokic, his team left him on an island in that 4th quarter.

He was dominant last night but he was not good the previous 3 games.

mitchell reminds me of derozan

great regular season scorer but simply isn't the guy capable of leading a team through the playoffs

You should lose a finger for spouting such tomfoolery.

they're terrible to watch. poor entertainment

 

[Bounces R Way]

Buh bye Brunson

satisfying irony after the refs missed a nut shot on him in the 1st half he fouls out and takes one to the Knickerbockers in the process
from the SAME GUY even

Can't imagine what the reaction would be if the Celtics win this series without Tatum

This is absolutely the kind of pain the Knicks could impose on their fans tbh.

GS was so banged up.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Man, at the time I hated that KAT trade. I was wrong. Divencenzo(sp of course) is a great add... but Randle has been so good these playoffs. Good trade.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Minny, Indy and likely OKC in the Final 4? Adam Silver is not going to sleep well tonight.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Warriors just completely inept defensively. They're nothing without Steph.

 

[BostonBob]

Well I certainly hope we find out.

 

[PeteWorrell]

Indeed. They went from the best defense after the all-star break and the acquisition Butler to this.

Congratulations on the Wolves for finishing the job.

 

[John Price]

good riddance to the warriors. very overrated geriatric club

It's actually insane how garbage Joker's supporting cast is. Not since 2007 LeBron have we seen a generational Superstar be surrounded by a massive pile of shit like this. He generates so many wide open looks for his teammates and they cannot throw it in the ocean. It's unreal. Having to play complete scrubs like MPJ, Westbrick, Christian Braun, Peyton Watson, etc. Meaningful playoff minutes is laughable.

He won't do it, but Jokić should 100% pull a LeBron and demand a trade out of Denver. They have proven multiple years in a row now they have no clue how to build a contender. He's going to waste his prime with that poverty organization. He should get out while he can. There's zero reason Denver should be losing the series. If they just had 2 knock-down shooters playing in place of Westbrick and Braun, they would've won this series in a sweep, or 5 games at most. Legit. Instead, they're about to get knocked out of the playoffs, because of all the losers surrounding their franchise player. Damn shame tbh.

Is his supporting cast honestly worst than what Giannis has been working with? The killer for the Nuggets is they've been losing guys from their championship team like KCP and Jeff Green but haven't been able to properly replace them.
