Sorry kinda in a hurry but the playin starts tonight with the Hawks vs Heat and Lakers vs Wolves which Rudy Gobert is already out he suspended for one game.

Looking forward to some playoffs matchups especially Suns vs Clippers and see how the young Kings will do their first playoff match up against the defending champs the Warriors.

The Kings/Warriors series is interesting.  As even though Sacramento comes in here as the 3rd seed, they are considered overwhelming underdogs by a huge chunk of the media.

If going by playoff experience, I'd agree with them.  But weirder things have happened.  Maybe this isn't the same ol' Kings.

I'd be fine with seeing the oldest franchise in the NBA win it all, since they haven't since like the 1950s.

The West is interesting, with no real team standing out. Meanwhile, the East will most likely be Milwaukee or Boston, IMO. I know some would say Philly, but I'm not willing to "trust the process" on it.😂

Question? Do ya'll think that if Rudy Gobert wasn't suspended last night, the Wolves would've won last night? I honestly believe they would have. If he was there, Dennis Schröder wouldn't have gotten that shot off because Rudy would've clogged the middle and a guard or a forward would have been guarding Dennis Schröder.

For once I'm glad the Lakers won. I don't want the Nuggets getting them in the first round.

I think he will helped.  Anthony Edwards struggled all game long part of it he is banged up but they need him to step up last night which he didn’t so that plays a factor.

The game just started and the Bulls are not down much yet but they already pisses me off already 😂

Bulls win because of Lavine, defense, Raptors missed free throw thanks to DeMar’s daughter 😂

DeMar's daughter was getting revenge on the Raptors trading her dad years ago.😂

I need an investigation on why Malone put Jokic back in up 30 in the 4th quarter. Fortunately, Jokic intentionally fouled out.

Man, The Joker doesn't want the MVP award this season. He's like, here, Embiid you want so bad, you can have it. That dude is very chill.

Knicks just look much stronger inside and unless Garland and Mitchell are near perfect from the perimeter, Knicks I think can take this series. Cavs have potential but guys like Mobley just look outmatched physically inside by Mitchell Robinson.

Some of these scores of this series are like 90's basketball, not used to seeing it. I kinda like it actually. The 130+ a-thons get old.

Either way, I don't see either team getting past Milwaukee but I would love to be wrong.

Doin' it for the citay.

Carry the hell on.

This entire series has been an utter embarrassment. There's no reason we should be down 1-3 right now. Do we really have to be the Knicks stepping stone of relevance?

It just a bad match up for the Cavs and credit to Thibs Knicks as expect playing under Thibs play hard, do the dirty work, play defense they are grinding.

I didn't expect the Knicks of yore or an easy matchup up by any means but this series should at least be going the full way if the Cavs are bouncing out. We have too much talent to be getting shut down so dominantly. Plus seeing Spike Lee's annual state of misery is an unofficial national pasttime.

Two major issues, well three

A) The coaching advantage, Thibs has just been much more battle tested vs Bickerstaff. Thibs main issue over the years is his loyalty to the workhorses that took him to the dance and his refusal to open the rotation up. He's throwing in guys like Miles McBride and throwing him at Mitchell with zero fear! Also the Julius Randle benching of the 4th because he was stinking it up and Obi Toppin was putting in positive minutes shows how far Thibs has come as a coach. Back then, he's keeping Taj Gibson & Joakim Noah regardless if they are doing good or not. Now, he rides the hot hand and doesn't play favorites. 

B) The bench depth, Cleveland coughed up pieces in this regard to get Donovan Mitchell. Knicks by virtue of Utah turning them down, kept theirs, including this year's 1st which went to Portland to get the ever important Josh Hart. Guys like Okoro & Osman can't be relied upon to hit shots off the bench and they have the task of defending Brunson which is rough. 

C) Speaking of Josh Hart, the rebounding/2nd chance points. Ex Cav Hartenstein and Mitchell Robinson have been monsters on the glass and defensively. 

Cleveland will go as far as Evan Mobley's development will go. He has to get stronger, if he can do that, he's going to be a force defensively AND offensively. Same with Garland who goes in and out way too much this series. It's almost a clash who runs the offense when he and Mitchell are on the floor together, where neither guy knows who will do what. It's also a small backcourt which can get exploited by talented guards.

Knicks might actually get the Miami Heat in the net round if NYK and MIA both win 1 more game. Holy shit, we can win that one. Especially with no Herro off the bench. Playoff Jimmy is pretty good though but I like that Brunson vs Lowry matchup.

EDIT: 53 points for Butler. WOW.

Miami Heat the 8 seed lead 3-1 series against the Bucks 😱

If Bucks lose the series wondering if Bud will get fired?

That performance from Jimmy Butler 🔥🔥🔥

Bud needs to get fired. I don’t know how we allow Jimmy to just kill us and I fucking hate how scrub ass role players turn into Steph Curry against us every time.

Wasted a great game from Giannis and Brooke by just playing stupid and frantic basketball.

KING KID I was playing poker tonight with a guy who had the Grizzlies +4.5. He was so excited for Memphis to hit a three with 2 seconds left to pull withing 4, then crushed when Dillion Brooks immediately made a take foul For no reason with 0.1 seconds remaining and gave the Lakers free throws. I thought you would appreciate this.

Bud is only 2 years removed from a title,   He isn't going anywhere.   Who would the Bucks get to replace him anyway?
