The Official 2025 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

I'm conflicted to watch tonight's game. I hate both the Lakers and the Nuggets, especially after this year's NBA Finals. So I don't necessarily care to see all the ra-ra with the ring ceremony in Denver

Suns and Warriors I don't necessarily ~mind~ watching but dang, I can't wait until tomorrow's Heat game

I hope the Timberwolves don't suck

15 years ago, 20-16 would be an "end of 1st quarter" score, particularly on opening night when teams aren't at their best cohesively. That's the score midway through the 1st in this Lakers @ Nuggets game.

No time's been added to the clock, but two things have determined this:
- Offense is catered to more than defense in the modern-day
- Stephen Curry changed the game with the 3-point shot

Timberwolves vs. Raptors tonight

Hopefully Minnesota can pull away with a good victory here.

Are you from NC or are you the only 2nd person I know who is a Hornets fan outside of the Carolinas? haha

 

[Finishline]

The only person who can stop Wemby is Wemby with 5 fouls this game lol... he's hitting 3-pointers in front of defenders like he's wide open.

And without using up another post, I'm so glad Miami snuck by the Pistons, who I touted a surprise playoff team coming into this season. Cade Cunningham looks like he made the jump.

I live in Gaffney.

I know where that is!! I stop there everytime when my family goes vacationing in Georgia, that's awesome!


and on the NBA note, I absolutely hate Portland. Watching Dame hit that dagger and score 39 points in his Bucks debut was another level of hurt.

The NBA is looking into whether the 76ers and James Harden violated the league's new player participation policy, a league spokesperson told ESPN.

Timberwolves went 10/14 in 3-point shooting in the First Quarter against the Hawks. God dayum!

Covington the former Sixers helps us in the Three Department and provides some Defense but not liking losing 2 Starters for Scraps. Granted the Value of Harden was so low this was going to happen.
