NBA playoffs

[Treeshepherd]

Until now, I didn't realize that Aaron Gordon was out for this game. He's been a huge part of Denver's success. But Minnesota losing the Antman is a way more damaging loss.

Yet it's T-Wolves 78, Nuggets 72 right now.

Wolves with no marketable star players ahead 91-87 after Naz Reid sinks a 3 pointer

7:44 left in the 4th quarter

Jocic is not all-world like he used to be. A lot of careless turnovers. Murray has vanished. Braun is ???Braun. They are nowhere near the last two years. Johnson is biggest threat.

And MN is much improved. Shannon is spark, Naz Reid is good. A lot of players playing good.

The NBA is a joke.

Game 6 and a chance to close out the series and Mazzulla throws in the towel down 10 with 7 minutes left.

Makes absolutely no sense.

Shittiest, most fraudulent league in professional sports.

Wolves advance!!

So this Cam Johnson kid, this was his third team this season? Murray is a baller but you could never count on him every night, he disappears more often than not, without Gordon the Joker didn't have much help out there, a bunch of role players and no defense, I knew they would lose to a better defensive team. So many players in all these playoff games are "injured", it's getting ridiculous.

Great night for hoops tonight on Prime, if you don't have Prime, you are screwed if you have been watching the playoffs, as two huge games tonight you will miss. I noticed since I subscribed that I have made a couple purchases on Amazon, so you can see why Amazon wants the NBA.

I'm the Genius who picked DEN. I'm also one that was high on ORL. OTL has 3 scorers. DET has one? We'll see. Yes we will.

Do you think Lakers laid down to get one more game at home and all that revenue? Nothing in it for the players so unlikely. But it all seems so convenient. Suddenly HOU doesn't look like crap?

Game 7 tomorrow. Root for us. I’m scared but someone told me Orlando has no confidence now.

Wow the SIxers could actually knock out the Celtics tonight??

watching this Philly Boston game you could convince me the NBA is rigged.

Refs did all they could for the Celtics, but the Sixers would not be denied. Good for them!

 

[liarintheWH]

Fitting end for dumb ass Mazzulla.

I believe we have a back court for the next decade barring serious injury with Edgecomb and Maxie.

Who do the Lakers have. They have nobody except LeBron, who I hate by the way, but respect is due.

Lakers are currently beating the Rockets with no star players other than old man LeBron

Won't be the Celtics.

I thought Embiid was pretty much done but I was wrong.

34 points, 12 boards and 6 assists

I thought the Sixers should have traded Embid several years ago before his last serious injury. He came thru tonite.

Suns had both Cam Johnson and Mikhail Bridges and they traded them away. That was the end of the Suns. Booker isn't good enough to carry the team.

he has been terrible but he showed up big tonight

Celtics were 32-0 in playoff series when up 3-1 until tonight, think of those players on those teams that went 32-0, all kinds of NBA all time greats. Boston could not handle Embid and Maxey without Tatum. They did not matchup well, but Brown showed up. 3 point shooting did them in at the end.
