NBA Season 23-24

Best double header in NBA history probably. Two great finishes.

Luka did his Dak impression in the playoffs. Stunk it up in the first half and his team was utterly destroyed only to have a good second half when it was too late.

Is it too early to predict the Mavs and the Stars exiting in the first round of the playoffs??

Loved seeing the LAKERS blow it.

What a choke job by both teams that lost lol.

Because of the finish in NY it brought back memories of game 1 of the Pacers of 95.

Then, I saw and remembered that the games after that game were Rockets Jazz game 5 and Bulls Magic game 1. Those were the best set of games when it all said and done.

Knicks fan here...there were *obvious* fouls in that final sequence. Not complaining but there's no way Maxey shouldn't have been shooting free throws as opposed to Hart getting the steal

Doesn't help that the in inbounder just casually tosses the ball to a guy double covered, Sounds like something our boys would do on the football field.

Yea, in al fairness there were *several* things that went wrong for Philly not just the missed calls

-at 34.8 NY (Brunson) lost the ball, but out hustled Philly to retain position
-at 27.1 NY (Brunson) hits a contested three
-at 27.1 on the ensuing inbound there is a lack of movement on Philly's part. No one besides Maxey seems to be trying to get open
-at 27.0 NY (Brunson) clearly grabs the jersey of Maxey during the inbound pass
-at 25.3 NY (Hart) appear to also contact Maxey causing him to fall to the ground
-at 23.6 PHI (Nurse) calls for a time out and is not granted one...this is actually understandable. In real time he gets it off like .01 before Maxey loses the ball.
-at 21.0 NY (Divincenzo) misses an open three
-at 18.5 NY (Hartenstein) gets the offensive rebound...you just can't let him get the rebound here
-at 15.0 NY (Divincenzo) makes an open three pointer
-at 12.0 PHI (Embiid) looks like he gets away with a moving screen. Would have been a tacky foul given under normal circumstances and even worse given the previous possession
-at 9.2 PHI (Maxey) drives, gets a good look and misses. It looked like a block, but wasn't. Hartenstein's defense effected the shot, and maybe if it was more on point, he would have blocked it, but it was a miss.
-at 8.1 NY (Anunoby) gets the rebound

It was a collapse, but huge assist to the boys in black and white...couldn't do it without you

Seems like so many series these last few years in the NBA Playoffs get decided by injuries. Sad to see the Bucks go out so fast with Giannis and Lillard out for good. Harden and George doing their best to pick up the Kawhi-less slack against Dallas. And so on….

Beal saying Sun would be in a better position if they stayed healthy and had a better team




I may have added the better team part

Lakers two years in a row wiped in first round by Denver. Looks like the Lebron/AD show won’t pay any more dividends. They kept it close though. 4-1 but not easy wins.

Only series that look like worth watching in first round is DAL vs LAC, and ORL vs CLE. Rest are sweeps or 4-1.

Actually last year was conference Finals but agree the Lakers need to retool. I love it! So glad LBJ out again. Tired of old guard and love new guard and young teams

What a choke job by the Knicks, up 6 with 32 seconds left and they end up losing in OT.

You can't foul a 3 point shooter in that situation, that one point might cost them the series.
