The Warriors & the Knicks both lose. My interest in the playoffs is dipping. I wish Nuggets/Suns were the finals.

Ed for example last night. Sixers beat Celtics by 12. Nuggets beat Suns by 16. Double digit wins. No excitement for late game situations. We’re not talking about random teams facing off either. We’re talking about 76ers and the Celtics facing off. The Nuggets and the Suns. Four teams that could easily be playing for a spot in the Finals. That’s star power teams. Yet here we are. Double digit wins.

If Lebron gets through Curry and then Durant and wins a Final…. sheesh. That’s a story. A story I don't want to see.

Best case scenario this is a Paul Pierce situation, but it's more likely the scheduled Anthony Davis bi-monthly injury.

They hired Lukas ex coach because they probably wanted to so badly BUT the media and the state of Arizona already crowned Deandre Ayton the Prince of Arizona and gave them no choice but to draft him. Nobody was hating on the draft pick then though. He was supposed to be a game changer for Phoenix alongside Booker. The Shaq to his Kobe. Then the NBA Finals happened and he got exposed by Giannis who technically isn’t even a Center. Brook Lopez abused him too. People still have him a chance and gave Phoenix no choice but to “pay the man”. It was obvious then that he wasn’t the star. It’s almost fitting that the real stat padder got knocked out by who the media claims was the “stat padder”. Racism at its finest. Look at Marc Jackson’s fucking MVP voting. He “forgot” to put Jokic the top 5 list. Fuck outta here with that nonsense. Donovan Mitchell lmao. SGA a DAWG but cmon now. Tatum is Tatum still. Nothing has changed with his team. He’s not Jokic though. The only top 3 that works is Jokic, Embiid and Giannis and you can move them around however you like. You don’t forget Jokic on a Top FIVE without having some selfish reasons to omit him. If you “forgot” then you shouldn’t be allowed to vote for the MVP anyways. You’re clearly not worthy enough of having a vote.

NY gets even a decent game from Randle and they beat the Heat this game. Time to trade that ass.

I gotta do a bit of backtracking. The WCF could be fun.

I’m going Nuggets/Celtics but Lakers are making me uneasy for sure. I really want Jokic to do it. My favourite NBA player in years.

It feels like Erik Spoelstra is toying with Joe Mazzulla at this juncture.

I don't know why you thought the Celtics looked so dominant. It took them 7 games to beat Philly. Meanwhile the Heat gentleman sweeped the Bucks and handled the Knicks in 6. And Jimmy Butler has been one of the top 2 players in these playoffs along with Nikola Jokic.
