Holy shit. Giannis called for a 10 second violation while shooting a FT. The FT goes in but doesn’t count in a 1 point game with a minute to go. Crazy. I didn’t even know that rule existed.

Jimmy Butler sends it to OT at the buzzer.

Playoff basketball!

That game was awesome. From ECF last season to first round this season, these two division rivals always put on a treat.

Playoff Rondo is a different kind of breed.

That game gave me an ulcer.

Now hoping Dallas can pull this out. I love watching Luka.

Too bad Pandemic P isn't.   Also the Buck were damn luck Jimmy couldn't throw it in the ocean for most of the game.

Yeah I think Miami wins the series honestly. Milwaukee ain’t shit. Giannis will never win a championship unless he’s paired with another superstar and Milwaukee ain’t attracting any superstars there. 

Clippers are so unpredictable and that’s not a good thing. They are missing something and they don’t gel. 

It feels unfair that BK/BOS and MIA/MIL have to face each other in the first round while the two jobber teams in NYK/ATL get to face each other. Talk about an easy road to the ECF for Philly.

This Denver/Portland game is so much fun too. These first round games along with GS/MEM from last night have been awesome.

I would really cum my pants if the second round of the Western Conference has ZERO LA teams. I would love to see the West have to be decided by these match ups:

1- Utah vs 5- Dallas
2- Phoenix vs 6- Portland

Honestly I don’t even mind the Clippers as much. I just love Luka/KP. I just really want to see Lebron get eliminated first round after winning a chip there.

Suns schooling the Lakers today.

Ayton finally looked like the #1 pick in the draft. Played great. Still no Doncic but hey not many are.

Devin Booker was excellent today and Lebron/AD were both equally horrendous.

Fucking Trae Young. POS!

Word, what a heartbreaking game.

Regardless of what happens tonight I still say Milwaukee in 5 or 6. The Heat ain’t going to be the ones this year.

Though this has been an incredible start to the game. Good lord Deer - let’s go!

He looks so weird though, what is that haircut? How is he so good with his shot and ability to penetrate off dribble?

Knicks barely lost despite their best player in Randle being really off, I think Knicks can take this to a long series honestly.

Now that's what an MVP looks like. :love:

Nets are looking really good now right time but let see if they can keep this up of course stay healthy is the key. I do have the Nets goes to the finals before this season started winning the title over the Lakers even though it will be amazing if Lakers didn't make it to the finals even more amazing if they get eliminated the first round.

Trae Youngs dad on Trae Young/Knicks being a new rivalry.


"When they did it to Reggie Miller, Reggie Miller was in his prime," Rayford told the paper. "He was 28, 29 years old, near the back end of his career. They're going to have to see Trae for the next 10 or 15 years.

"He hasn't hit his grown man weight yet. He hasn't got his grown man strength yet. This is only the beginning. He should be a senior in college right now."

He's not wrong. Trae Young if he puts in the work can be great.


I've always rooted for the Lakers because of my connections with Kobe and loved those Shaq/Kobe teams because they are two of my favorite players ever. Always considering myself a fan of them , always.

I'm rooting for them to lose to the Suns though. Sucks they pulled it out last night but Lebron fans are the fucking worst. I would rather have a political debate with a Trump supporter than read a single word a Bron supporter has to say at this point. They are why I only watch and really don't talk NBA for 80% of the year. Fucking lose and go away in grand fashion.

Yeah, I can't stand the Lakers this season. However, now that I see Chris Paul is battling an injury that had their HC take him out of the game yesterday, I don't know if the Suns are going to be able to survive a 7 game series with a hurt CP or even worse WITHOUT Chris Paul. Cameron Payne is NOT the answer and Devin Booker can't do it all by himself.

Not sure who's worse. Bron fanboys or Bron haters. Both are insufferable.

The whole argument is stupid. 

I think Lebron is the second greatest player of all time and an argument is there for him being the best , yet LeBron fanboys legitimately think that calling him the second greatest player of all time is somehow an insult. Like the thousands upon thousands of players that have played through the years and he is IMO the second best to ever do it being a slight. It's fucking stupid. The more infuriating part is when they tear down Jordan's (or whoever's) career and act like they were bums. 

The reverse is true as well - those who try to act like LeBron is some kind of bum because they back Jordan. Clearly he's not , he's great - I've been a fan of his since day one and bought his jersey and generally rooted for him outside of his Miami years and this Laker year. 

It's impossible to even have the discussion about because of the degrees people need to go to in order to try and make their point. 


It's crazy to think but for me personally the NBA will be better when Bron retires. Now that won't be the case for the NBA and the discussion around it and ratings but I'm just speaking for my personal enjoyment and ability to talk basketball again. 

NBA will be fine after Lebron goes.

When he goes; these other 3 will take over.

The Lakers are in trouble. The Suns were playing like shit for most of the game & LA only dominated during the final 3 minutes of the game.

That’s just not true. They had a few dominant spurts in that game - honestly the Lakers size is the worst matchup for the Suns. Drummond and AD at times were just taking over. Andre friggen Drummond. The Suns can’t match them at all - even another body to throw at them would help.

Without CP3 at 100% , I don’t see how the Suns hang in there. His ability to get out and run made the Lakers pay for playing the bigs because they were slow ... if this turns into a half court game without an effect Paul then the Suns are done in 6.

You also can't forget how the Suns barely eeked out a Game 1 win in a game where Lebron and Anthony Davis both played terribly.

Suns are probably done which is unfortunate because I was pulling for them. Sucks to be a Sun and watch Doncic and Trae Young be excellent and Ayton being your #1 pick that draft. Ayton aint even that bad. I'm not HATIN on AYTON, but the Suns could've been special.

Speaking of Doncic; the Clippers have no answer for him. Kawhi played like a mad man last night, but the rest of that team (minus PG) did not show up. Clippers look to be what I thought they were. A team that doesn't mesh.

As for today: I hope the Knicks even the series. Randle needs to come to play. You can't have Alec Burke be your best player on the court and win a playoff game. Man this Knicks team would be UNSTOPPABLE if they had Zion and Barrett has played well recently.

I'm taking the home teams to all win tonight. Philly, NY and Utah.

Don't kid yourself. Traditionally, a 7 seed beating a 2 seed would be considered an upset. Except this 7 seed has LeBron James on the team. He's a whole different monster come playoff time. Don't matter if you're a low seed, high seed, anywhere in between, or the #1 overall seed. LeBron will find a way to beat them all.

This is no upset, by any stretch of the imagination, if the Lakers beat Phoenix.  If anything, the Suns beating L.A. would be an upset, no matter the seeding.
