NBA Playoffs

[Gorhoops]

WE did you see the Denver-Laker game last night? Had to be the most entertaining game of all time! And LeBron took it in the shorts!! It would be worth watching a replay for anybody to see what the NBA is like right now if you haven't watched in a few years. Effort off the charts!

Yep puff, very entertaining. I think a lot of people that hate the NBA haven't watched in a number of years. Playoff games are off the charts intense and exciting. As you mentioned in an earlier thread, I often have a hard time watching college basketball during the conference season because everyone is so well scouted and it just becomes a bloodbath and there is often no flow, horrible officiating, and often there is pretty bad offense being run in the college game. The NBA, those guys are so good it is amazing. The shot-making and play-making abilities of NBA players is almost hard to believe in a lot of situations.

Yes, Denver was down 20 only had the lead as the Murray's buzzer beating shot goes through the net and he is on his ass in the corner. Anthony Davis is sprawled into the first row. The entire Nuggets team is gang hugging Murray.

When LeBron hit those 2 treys in a row and the deficit went from 2 to 8 I thought the Nuggets were done.

I will tip my hat to KU's Braun. He came in off the bench and except for missing 2 FTs, he did his job.

Jokic, has a double double in the 1st quarter then does score until the 4th and still dominates with his all round play.

Great Game

You may have to look for it. Dated April 22, 2024. I had to scroll down about 8 rows.

The Knicks vs 76ers game was as good. Just not as well played. The Knicks scored 8 points in the last 30 seconds. Some of that was because the 76ers went brain dead.

Miami's walking wounded beat the Celtics in Boston.

I do not think Miami has the manpower to win this series, but if they get the upset that would be HUGE for The Cavs who at 2-0 are playing like they could get the sweep.

I would not bet against the Heat! Not with Spoelstra as coach. I think they’re deep enough IF healthy.

The Bucks at Pacers game has gone into overtime. Both teams are making game tying treys.

Pacers win it by 3 and go up 2-1. Great Game!!

Lower seeds in the East are holding their own.

Cavs dominance did not hold on the road.

Back to actual basketball
Nuggets eliminated the Lakers in 5 last night. Murray hits the game winner again.

The 4th quarter was classic NBA Playoff Basketball. Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller kept saying through the 12 minutes "This Is A Heavy Weight Fight".

LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant are already out of the NBA Playoffs.

NBA Stars are changing.

Cavaliers forward Dean Wade has been ruled OUT for the remainder of the team’s First Round series with the Orlando Magic. Wade sustained a right knee sprain that has sidelined him since March 13. A recent MRI at Cleveland Clinic Sports Medicine Center and daily rehabilitation revealed more time is needed to treat the injury. Wade will remain out indefinitely and his status will be updated as appropriate.
