NBA 2025 NBA Playoffs

[John Price]

The NBA is back to parity, since 2019 there will be a new champion.

It’s about damn time honestly, no repeats and no dynasties.

But OKC is still in the mix and dominating everyone.

Both conferences finals are must see TV.

I don't agree, I won't watch. Neither are particularly interesting

Can't wait for the SGA vs Ant matchup! And as someone who's favorite player as a kid was Reggie Miller, it's been fun seeing a revival of the Pacers/Knicks rivalry. But being a Seattle resident, I can never cheer for OKC. Sucks that they are the title favorite right now, and that the Nuggets this afternoon were a preview of the Leafs tonight.

Hoping Indiana wins it all. Fun facts: since 1990, the first season they made the playoffs with Miller, their 27 playoff appearances lead the East in that span, and are tied for 2nd with the Lakers overall, trailing only the Spurs with 29. Since the Pacers made their first ECF in 1994, this is their 10th ECF appearance. Only the Spurs have more CF appearances with 11, while the Lakers, Celtics and Heat have also made it 10 times. They've never had access to elite talent due to almost never picking at the top of the draft and not being a FA destination, yet have still made the most of things. For this reason I don't think any NBA franchise deserves their first ring more than them.

I was a big Reggie Miller guy, and it’s true.

Reporter to Westbrook: “Have you made a decision on your player option for next season?”

Russ: *Looks at watch*… “What are you wearing tomorrow?”

Reporter: “I don’t know.”

Westbrook: “Exactly.” … *Walks off*

Great answer to a scummy question.

 

[Jack Straw]

Going with OKC in 7, Indy in 7. Kinda rooting for the Knicks though.

Mike Malone is good on TV tbh

Holy hell, that OKC crowd sucks.

Happy for him he’salways seemed like a good dude

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Pups playing like turds in the 3rd (heh).

Shai's foul baiting is elite, better than prime Harden

[Karterthadon]

If they're going to call games like this, Brunson, another foul baiting merchant, will go for 50 tomorrow.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

If I see Divencenzo try for another low percentage 3 ...

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Amazing bucket from Shai... not a foul

 

[ahmedou]

The OKC 1st half was mid...

The OKC 2nd half was good!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

At this point I’d be shocked if this Thunder team doesn’t go on to win the title

They are overwhelming favorites.

It a shame because SGA very unlikable

He's basically a less talented version of Prime Harden who benefits from an elite whistle in the playoffs
