Warriors got smoked by the Grizz in 2022 but don’t remember the score

Murray looked like games 1-2 Murray

yeah they were bricking hard early and it sapped them of all their intensity on both ends

Game 7 is gonna be a close one I'm guessing. Lot of bad luck/bad momentum in game 6, but I did notice the Wolves defensively adjusted against Jokic (a lot more help defense with Gobert on him in the post) and it's def going to be on Murray to have a massive redemption game 7 if they want to win this

I kinda feel this is the NBA Finals right here. I am thinking whoever wins on Sunday wins it all

i will never forget that rockets warriors game 7, this wasnt half as bad

that was xp @ that video

I kinda feel this is the NBA Finals right here. I am thinking whoever wins on Sunday wins it all

these teams have not looked that good

celtics can beat these teams for sure, but they need zinger

yeah gotta have the z man, i mean i think they could win it without him but its just not likely

systemic collapse is my least fave nuggs mode they should just tap out

we’ll see how the conference finals go on both sides but — kevin pelton wrote about this at the time — one of the huge advantages denver had over miami last year was that they only played 3 games over the minimum going into the finals whereas miami was +6. at this point boston, having only played 2 extra games, will be blowing away the field once the rest of these series conclude. if the winner of this nuggs-wolves series has to go another 6 or 7 in the west finals they’ll be coming into the finals at a disadvantage, especially if boston can beat an exhausted knicks team in 5. the article pelton wrote on this last year is prob behind a paywall anyway but when there is a big games played split heading into the finals the historical data says the team that has played fewer games is a massive favorite, like far more than the vegas odds would indicate

i wanted to believe the heat were built different heat culture etc but no they just looked really tired and beaten down compared to denver

yeah and the celtics have not even been playing at high intensity in the games they have played, havent played that many more minutes, the close out game vs the cavs was exactly a regular season celtics game

Celtics low intensity is their secret weapon

speaking of secret weapons, i guess we shouldn't have been surprised that the wolves vibes were off the chart last night

they had gugliotta too!

haha yeah and one JR Rider!

I've noticed a lot of weird things happening these playoffs that didn't happen during the regular season, like season-long low scores or crazy runs being posted, wonder if coaching is really making a huge difference here. explains why Doc Rivers was out so soon

Can't wait for the high drama finger pointing after next season when the Bucks get eliminated in the first round again.

from which jokic delivred the mile high. thank you slavic basketball god

Jamal Murray's true shooting this postseason is down to 45.8%. That's one of the 10 worst playoff marks in the entire 3-point era (out of 569 players with at least 200 shots in a postseason).

how the pendulum swings, so are the days of our lives

love to root for game seven its one of the best things you can root for

going back a bit gorgui looks like a 7th-grade teacher on chaperone duty

Brunson does not look right

why is there still not a game time for game 7 of nuggs/wolves? cmon man we got lives to plan out here

prob waiting to see if theres a knick pacers game seven

true I guess they would want to make that one before the west one

is the plural game sevens or games seven

love how every basketball player is obsessed with the different parts of the quarter

beginning: important, time to set the tone
end: literally the most crucial thing in the world
middle: totally meaningless does not matter what you do during this part

the pacers don't make any sense, they easily have enough talent to win this series but they are prone to long stretches of what i can only call fucking around

feel like they got pretty disrupted by halis injury and non return to form, then the siakim trade its always tough to integrate a new guy, i think theyll be better next year

i tend to agree i just hope hali returns to form

he was playing so good before the injury dont think theres any guarantee he gets back to that level since he was prob at least kind of on a heater but stuff like not being able to hit a 3 after the injury should correct itself at least since hes at 40% for his career

i hope he does get back to that early season level tho that was cool

seems like josh hart is attempting to play through a torn ab here idk seems bad

he's acting like he's trying to play through a gunshot wound

he could he be shot its true we need a replay

this game is over baby game seven on the way

tj mcconnell is easily one of the weirdest good players, the league is better for having him.

also i'd probably take the knicks at home on sunday even if josh hart can't be resuscitated

how many knicks will die tonight

ESPN Sources: Knicks F OG Anunoby (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable and is likely to go through shootaround ahead of Game 7 vs. Indiana on Sunday to determine whether it’ll be possible for him to return to lineup. He’s been out since Game 2. pic.twitter.com/muswhRCdfu
