    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    Giannis getting hurt (again) makes it pretty easy imo. They were the 2 seed basically the entire year until he got hurt, six months from now Giannis/Dame will still look like a devastating offensive combo, and maybe a full offseason gives them the time they need to properly gel. The neutral...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    Siakam was a monster last night - 37 points on .761 TS, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 0 turnovers. I don't think Indy can win this series without the all-star version of Haliburton showing up at least a couple of times, but I suppose all things are possible when Doc is the opposing coach.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    Maxey was fouled, but the first foul on the inbounds play was Maxey giving a strong 2 handed shove to Hart trying to break free: View: https://twitter.com/ShamelLakin/status/1782774300442763342 Complaining about the refs (to the extent that you're filing BS grievances) is the kind of thing...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    "Just for these playoffs" doesn't change my answer. Bam has played in 70 of 72 possible playoff games, and he played more than twice as many playoff games in last year's run (23) as KP has in his entire career (11 including this past weekend). He's about as reliable as you can get, which is...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    Yeah this is it. If Nurse had been granted the timeout before the ball was inbounded, he would've lost his shit because he clearly didn't want it. If he had been granted the timeout when Maxey was on the ground and the ball was bouncing around, it would've easily been the worst call of the...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    Just as impressive as the comeback was that they did it without ever finding their range from 3. Denver was 6-23 from 3 in the 1st half and just 2-11 in the 2nd half (including 1-4 in the 4th quarter). Maybe this shouldn't come as any sort of surprise (Denver was dead last in 3PAs over the...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Bam for KP is probably close to a neutral exchange on the court. They'd legitimately challenge Minnesota as the best defense in the league (and I'd 100% take Bam over Gobert in the playoffs), and the offense just might still be #1, if not by as significant a margin. Even if the ceiling is a...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    The Sixers are the whiniest organization in the NBA, and I have no idea who is in 2nd.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    If they review this play, don't they have to give Hart a flopping tech? If not, is the rule even still on the books?

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (4) Cleveland Cavaliers vs (5) Orlando Magic

    God bless people who are bullish on Fultz. He can't shoot, can't stay healthy, isn't anything special as a defender or playmaker, and he's in year 7. Like once every two months he makes a special play that only a guy with his athleticism can pull off, and that's the only time anyone outside of...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (4) Cleveland Cavaliers vs (5) Orlando Magic

    Suggs hyperextends his knee and has to be helped off the floor. Not that Cleveland is all that special, but Orlando could end up being a quick out if Mitchell continues to cook: View: https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1782552070467240138

    So by the end of next week Tatum will be no lower than 5th on this list, correct? Since at least 2 of the guys in front of him will be on vacation? Jalen Brunson has become the most overrated player in the league in record time.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    This is a really good point. Especially since coming to Boston, Al just hasn't been a big time scorer despite really possessing all the skills. He's scored 30 points exactly once in his Celtics career (495 games including playoffs), and his regular season high in 6 seasons with Boston is just...

    Kobe worship is higher among current players than just about every demographic, but whatever. The entire player poll (around 140 responded) is worth a read for anyone with a subscription (and if you don't have one already, you should subscribe to the Athletic)...
