Thread: NBA/Basketball Thread
There was a fan in Minnesota blowing a whistle in the stands and it cost the Lakers some moments on the court smh

Every inch counts in these playoff games. This is kind of an unprecedented scandal. Very few fans are bold enough to pull something like that
 
Looks like Lakers are toast lol. I still have faith in them to extend the series but to win it would be unheard of versus a team as talented as the Timberwolves. Plus they have the size and athleticism advantage. There's almost no way to win now unless the Lakers dominate from the perimeter and play solid d

They can't, Tatum is playing on another level right now and have enough of a bench to beat anyone

Tatum is a known choker and shrinking performer in the NBA Finals. OKC can take Celtics down. Denver can too if their starting five play strong basketball and remain healthy but their bench is thin so my guess is that Denver will fizzle out this year, especially considering Westbrook is one of the guys they'll have to rely on

I want to see either Celtics vs OKC or Celtics vs GSW. Ideally OKC because at least then I'll have a team to root for lol. With BOS vs GSW I'd just be hate watching. Used to love GSW during the Splash Bros era pre-cupcake / slim reaper but now I can't stand that team. Mainly because of Draymond
 
I'm hoping that the Rockets advance past the first round tmrw

Draymond's antics are a disgrace to basketball and the NBA
 
Was anybody watching this game? I was watching it and it was a real surprise because OKC was up like 11 points and Denver definitely looked to be on the ropes and with little hope but OKC made some mistakes, Joker looked like he was struggling to do everything in his power to make every effort to win and eventually he hit a three to make it a very close game. Chet missed two key free throws, and then the next thing you know after playing the free throw game for a while Denver has a shot and Aaron Gordon hits another game winner. This is what the playoffs is all about. Denver didn't look to good to win it but they never gave up and came away with the victory because of that mindset and type of play. Now the series has an entirely different energy to it and how it will be played going forward. This should be a great series

Very disappointed in the Celtics but think they can still win the series if they get their shit together, blowing 20 point leads in both games is embarrassing

If any team can manage it versus the Knicks it would be this Celtics team. The depth of that squad is nuts. I fully expect them to take it six at least but who knows at this point. Celtics losing two at home to start the series like that? Tatum's confidence and will might be too damaged after that one. He's constantly shrinking and relying on others to step up in his place in important series. It's a strange characteristic to have when he's supposed to be the leader on that team. We'll see how he responds and how the rest of the team plays. Live by the three die by the three though. Celtics aren't getting their hands dirty enough in this series if you ask me
 
Predictions:

Knicks vs Pacers = Knicks in 6
Thunder vs Timberwolves = Thunder in 5

OKC Thunder vs NY Knicks = Thunder in 5
