The Official 2025 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

Not gonna lie with the way the Playoffs have been going especially this 2nd Round it's been one the most entertaining Playoffs to watch for me. I'm cheering for a Rival to beat another Rival I hate too.

I'm just gonna say it. Kevin Garnett may be a better overall player than Ant has the potential to be, but Anthony Edwards is the greatest Timberwolves player of all time.

The Nuggets and Thunder look like they are going to go 7 Games and the Cavs are one loss away from being eliminated. Celtics vs Knicks, and Wolves vs Warriors are going to be intense Games to watch.

Absolutely gutted for Tatum I think it’s an Achilles and we won’t see him til 2027

 

[R-Troop]

yeah that sucks. Hopefully he's lucky and it's just an ankle but that looked like it was an Achilles.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Yeah you never want to see the best players go down in Playoff Games but the Knicks have been owning them pretty much the whole Series outside a few moments even with him on the floor. Knicks vs Cavs/Pacers is going to be hell of a Series to see who gets to the Finals.

It's confirmed.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon, the team announced.

Boston said there is no timetable currently available for his return but noted he is expected to make a full recovery.

The injury occurred with 2:58 left in Monday night's Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks. The Celtics had just lost possession of the ball and as Tatum lunged toward it, his right leg gave out and he crumpled to the court in obvious pain while grabbing at his leg above the ankle. He eventually was helped to his feet and carried off the court and into a wheelchair.

The Celtics will be without their four-time All-NBA forward when they attempt to avoid elimination in Game 5 on Wednesday in Boston.
