The playoffs are considerably better than the regular season. There's a sense of urgency that is lacking during the regular season. Being a Pacer fan, they are fun to watch because it's not the typical isolation game that you see all the time. Hailburton is an old school PG who looks to set up teammates before looking for his shot. Same with McConnell. While they like to push the tempo, they also have a mid-range game with Siakam.

Mitchell is impressive. He tried to carry the Cavs, but it looked like he just ran out of gas late.

McConnell was ass last night, but overall I agree.

Really enjoy the final 8. I’m a Celtics fan but there’s something about each of the remaining teams I like. Games have been great so far.

I would like to see a final of the Celtics and Pacers again.

A final of the Paul George hating teams would be fun

I remember that game so well. Right before the timeout I went back out to do some yardwork figuring it was over. My neighbor had also came back out to work on his yard. Both of us had the game on the radio. When Reggie hit that second three, we looked up at each other with a look of surprise and without either of us saying anything, we both ran back into our houses to see the replay and end of the game. lol

I didn't see the Celtics Knicks, but surprised Boston let NY comeback for the win.

OKC, Holy Cow. Watched the first half. There was no way Denver was going to get back in that game.

A Pacers-Knicks ECF just feels right.

A pacers home eastern conference playoff game the same day as the 500, what a lovely drunken shit show that’s going to be

I, like most, figured the Celtics would be done with the Knicks in five games tops.

Surprised is an understatement.

There isn't much I like about the NYK. Their style, their bitching and moaning, the flopping, the constant isolation....it's terrible basketball. They're talented without a doubt, but it makes the foul baiting and constant crying even more unbearable.

While watching game 2 last night of the Boston/NY game, I legitimately thought I was watching a replay of game 1. Brutal.

Pacers were about as impressive as a team could be in Game 4. 80 point first half with a 41 point lead! I'm wondering if Mitchell hurt his ankle in the first half or maybe in G3?

Supposedly hurt his ankle during warmups at half time in preparation for the start of the second half.

 

[gregm83]

believe its an exacerbation of existing injury.
But, I choose to believe he did it warming up for the second half. More fitting that way

I think it would be too good to be true, but we're five wins away from it.

I fully expect Boston to come back. Cleveland not so much.

Regardless of Mitchell's MRI, it's hard seeing Cleveland getting back in it.

We'll know who wins that series by who wins tonight. Celtics are easily the better team - they've led for all but like 12 minutes in total - but they have to earn it.

The draft lottery was rigged

You mean like when the Knicks got Patrick Ewing with the bent envelope?

 

[Irishnuke]

Flagg on the Jazz felt right. Flagg on the Mavs feels fixed.

Indy is definitely in a good place, but I expect the Cavs to win tomorrow night.

Jazz will get Dybantsa, they are already paying him to go to BYU

 

[Tejas]

That feels a bit dodgy to say the least.

Watch they don't even pick Flagg

 

[NDPhilly]

76ers getting Ace Bailey. God is good.

I’m gonna assume Tatum tore his Achilles…
