You're discounting the Knicks? They could come out the East.
RE: AROUND the NBA: - meistermatze - 05-14-2025
Nuggets wasting an all-time performance by the Joker, so nothing new here. His spindarella-3-pointer was just lunacy. But with those bums on his back it's just one more prime-year wasted. So sad!

I mean, the only big market in the West was GSW, I don't think it matters that much if it is OKC or Wolves.
Knicks and Pacers however? Pacers might face a rigged referring that is worse than draft lottery
RE: AROUND the NBA: - HoosierDaddyKid - 05-15-2025
Boston ain't dead yet. If they can get it to game 7, back at TD Garden, even without Tatum they have a chance.

Defenders who have been put in more P&R actions
in the playoffs than the regular season.

This actually is kind of amazing.
RE: AROUND the NBA: - Chicagojk - 05-15-2025
Knicks still have work to do but it appears the Knicks and Wolves trade worked out for both teams short term.
kAt can look awesome at times. Still a frustrating player. So many silly, careless fouls. If they advance, I am really Interested to see how Rick attacks him. On the pacers side, Turner is also frustrating. Knicks still need to take care of business.
If I was the Knicks and you do t win the finals, I would quietly listen to some KAT trades.

If the Knicks blow it, the 1st move they make is fire Thibs. KAT , Bridges, and OG are on massive deals, and they gave up huge capitol for Bridges. They aren't going anywhere just yet. But this is where Brunson shines in these situations. He wasn't voted Clutch Player Of the Year for nothing.

Randle was awesome last night and it was nice seeing him kick the ass of someone other than the Mavs. I hate KAT, all the talent in the world, but an overinflated ego for someone so wildly inconsistent. To give him grace, the Knicks situation is probably the furthest away he's been from being a focal point.

Randle has been awesome in these playoffs. He's becoming a problem for other teams. Probably playing some of the best ball of his career. Minnesota, I think has a puncher's chance of making the Finals, even against the Thunder.
RE: AROUND the NBA: - FireNicoHarrison - 05-16-2025
Minny had an highway to the WCF.
OKC or Denver are on another level.

Before this season, only 3 64+ win teams failed to reach the
conference finals. One game away from potentially 2 teams
this postseason.

Denver could become the 19th team
to win multiple game 7's in the same playoffs.

Still love to think about how Dirk went through Kobe and the 2 time reigning champs, the young Durant OKC team, LeBron and the Heatles...and never even needed a game 7 to do it.

Dirk was in God Mode...especially against the Heat. I will always remember this.

Dirk beat TEN Hall of Famers to win the title:
Blazers - Sabonis and Pippen (though past their primes)
Lakers - Kobe and Gasol
Thunder - KD, Westbrook and Harden
Heat - Lebron, Wade and Bosh
Eight of them were in their prime.
No one deserves a statue more than Dirk.

Wrong Blazers team. Pippen retired in 2004, Sabonis in 2005. It will be interesting to see if LeMarcus makes the hall.

Roy & LMA played in those Blazers.

Camby too, probably my favorite from that team. On of our tank commanders too.
