The Pacers and Knicks game today doesn’t excite me too much. Without a proper superstar it’s almost like watching a college game to me… Plus, I don’t really like either team’s roster now, or their franchise historically. So I’ll probably take a day off from the NBA playoffs to chase some other hobbies. I’m secretly hoping for the Pacers to win though.
People need to put respect on JB's name. Congrats to Jokic winning another MVP. Almost seems dumb at this point they keep giving them to him. I think Doncic did enough to earn an MVP this season and Shaq said to Jokic that he thought SGA was more deserving of the MVP… I was rooting for Luka to win the MVP this time, but the seeding and the standings of the team really matter when voting for MVP. Jokic, of course, won it because the Nuggets did have a great season this year, and of course Shai went 2nd because of the really great performance of Thunder this season. If we were just talking about stats, Luka can win this MVP; he is averaging 30/9/9, and the reason why he didn't win is because the Mavs are on the 5th seed, compared to the other players, whose teams are much higher in the standings. It is really sad that voting fatigue affects Luka even though he has not won anything yet. It's like people are used to seeing and hearing Luka on MVP conversations every year. I hope he will get his' next season.

Tonight Thunder Mavericks, super game to see.
I really want to see the Dallas Mavericks move on and was a bit disappointed to see that the Thunder took game 1 so seemingly easily. Hopefully Kyrie and Luka respond by evening up the series and showing some dominance. If we end up with an NBA Finals that consists of the OKC Thunder and the NY Knicks I will be extremely disappointed and won't be able to bring myself to sit through a game. However, the success of these teams shows that having a good roster is more important than having a star player. I think the NBA has gotten so competitive that a single guy can't carry a team to the Finals anymore like a younger LeBron or prime Mike Jordan.

I definitely did not see Wolves going up 2-0 against Nuggets AT ALL! That is seriously incredible, this Anthony Edwards dude is doing way too much, like way more than I could ever imagine, and I am not just talking about offense, he is great there of course, but he is great at defense as well.
I can see the comparisons to MJ to be fair, not about talent or level but about the playstyle that they had on their early years. I am not saying Wolves will win the title, but I think it looks quite obvious that we are going to end up with seeing them do quite well, and maybe even have that chance. Celtics look like they do not have much competition at east this season, it would require a big upset for them to not be at the finals, and I think they may even have a chance to win the whole thing.

I see what you did there 😐 JB is putting peoples feelings in a blender right now. 76ers fans still can't believe how easily he ate them up. Pacers are getting their taste now. Barkley obviously bet on the Pacers last night and was pissed after the game. People just can't figure out that he is unguardable. It's been fun to watch rather than those players the media hypes up and tends to get people who don't actually watch basketball to follow.

Anthony Edwards certainly is a talented player and very exciting to watch. If you haven't see the Adam Sandler move "Hustle" I would definitely recommend in doing so. It's an awesome basketball movie and I don't want to give too much away but Anthony Edwards so of plays the protagonist in the film. One of the better basketball movies to come out in some time.

Well i was expecting a little bit more by the Indiana Pacers on this first two games against New York Knights after they took down a super team like Milwaukee, but well Jalen Brunson is on fire in the New York side, and seems like the pacers needs to find a answer to that to win some game against them. when I saw the first game in which it seemed to me that it was balanced at certain times and at other times it wasn't, then I had the image that in the second game things would be very different and that the Indiana Pacers would impose themselves and come out with a victory, which would be something very good. It would be a victory away from home, but it seems that what happened in the first game only served to improve the New York Knights, who showed that playing at home they don't want to lose. and in that game, even in the first period it ended in a draw, it seemed that the Indiana Pacers would be determined to come out with a good result in this game and when I saw that in the second period they won by a difference of 10 points, I was convinced that they could win this game, but I was shocked when I saw that they lost in the third period, I wasn't watching the game, I was just following the result, so It's hard for me to understand what happened to the Indiana Pacers in the third period. because looking here: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2024%2F05%2F09%2FrlsyD.png&t=665&c=XqSVDdczoxmLKA) Indiana Pacers had an average of more than 30 points scored in each period, but it was strange that in the third period they only managed to score 18 points and that was what led to them losing in that game. What happened to the Indiana Pacers attack in the third period? Tonight Thunder Mavericks, super game to see.
in my opinion the Thunder will win this game, they playing at home like they did in the first game, they will do well again

in my opinion the Thunder will win this game, they playing at home like they did in the first game, they will do well again Honestly it's real easy to see why. Jalen brunson went out with a couple minutes left in the first quarter up in the game. He was out for the entire 2nd quarter and that's the only reason Pacers went up 10 at half. JB came back in the 3rd quarter and it was a wrap for the Pacers. 24 points in the second half alone amd now the Pacers are down 2-0. Dude is different

I also did not expect Nuggets' situation at all. If someone told me they would lose two games at home like this, I would never have believed. What Timberwolves are doing is quite important. Nuggets are kinda in their prime also IMO, they were not bad at all. Timberwolves's defence is getting really good. Edwards's situation is also getting very interesting. He is 'at least' as athletic as Jordan. Since kobe, very few players have come to the league with such a high level of both defence and offence. His potential is really high. Right now, he is the most exciting player for me.

Yes, it's really there defense on the Nuggets in the first 2 games that really surprises everyone, it's not physical defense or something, but it was enough to bother the Denver and they don't have any answers so far even if they played at their homecourt. And then we have the young ANT and probably it's a sign in the NBA that the young core are taking it over. No Steph and Lebron in this playoff, but we have ANT, SGA and others very young and star players putting up a show for this year, times have change now.

That was actually an annoying way of defense that have pissed Murray. And then we have the young ANT and probably it's a sign in the NBA that the young core are taking it over. No Steph and Lebron in this playoff, but we have ANT, SGA and others very young and star players putting up a show for this year, times have change now.
Too many young calibers that are on this semi finals and this is a great show to the league that the young ones are taking over. It only means that the new generation is sending a message to everyone. Don't forget about Luka, but they seem to struggle with their first game against OKC but let's see later.

Suns fired Frank Vogel as the coach after a disappointing first round sweep! Who do you think will be next? [...]Doncic couldn't get it because the Mavericks were a little behind in the standings. Both of these players will receive the MVP award in the coming years I believe.
[...]Doncic had better numbers but didnt win due to Dallas being really low ranked in the league and that costed him the MVP. Is it written somewhere that the team's position in the league has to be in the top 3 or higher? I thought this was supposed to be an individual awards for individual performances. [...] Don't forget about Luka, but they seem to struggle with their first game against OKC but let's see later.
OKC seems to have an answer to Luka or even Irving. Their play doesn't revolve to just two players like SGA or Chet.

That makes sense.
For the other known players that have done crazy things too, they're just fined. They've probably got metrics on who's going to be suspended and who's going to be just fined.
Anyway, that really made Murray pissed when he's guarded and doubled by the Timberwolves. They know how weak he is mentally and sure Finch will do the same tactic on their next meeting. I guess the player history has a whole lot to do with how the fines and/or suspension are ditched out, If it were to be Draymond Green who did that yesterday, I'm sure at least a game suspension would have been included, Jamal Murray isn't known to be such a person with violent character and isn't much of a repetitive offender in this case, hence the need for just a fine alone was probably the best way to show leniency, but I can guarantee that and future antic like this would attract a more stiff penalty, just like the case of Pat Beverley I made mention of earlier, I just read a report from Shams Charania who said according to his source, the Indianapolis Police are currently reviewing the case of Pat Bev, and regardless of the legal outcome, I'm quite sure there will be a hefty penalty for Bev from the league's office, Suspension most likely without pay and heavy fine too, at the very least. Yeah, that might count as a contribution to the verdict as he did that on that occasion but he doesn't do it oftentimes. If he do it again for the next games, then that's when the suspension might come but I don't think it's necessary anymore as they'd be out of the playoffs then. So, a fine as good as before. And unless the player really push the button of the NBA, they won't simply put heavy penalties for the superstars in the league. Murray doesn't have history of being dirty though and perhaps that is also taken into account.
But I do agree, it players how has precedent already like Draymond Green, not just hefty fines, he could even be suspended even if it is playoff time. So we can say that NBA are someone favoring certain players and it's very obvious in the case of Jamal Murray here.
Yeah, you guys are right about that. The history of the player probably did the thing there and about that. But to be honest, that's sort of a dangerous maneuver that he did there. Yeah, no one got hurt but I am imagining what if it's on the intense rebounding and blocking and then a player suddenly slid to that pack with strong impact.

I am extremely surprised Denver lost both games at home. They were so strong in the playoffs last year, expecting them to repeat seemed like a slam dunk.

You are not the only one that's surprised here and they were also the favorites to win again if I'm not mistaken. This Nuggets team is the same as last season and they are still strong this year as you can see how they almost sweep the Lakers. It's just that the Wolves are different this time.

I just read the finale of the story of Glen “Big Baby” Davis and how he tried to defraud the NBA’s benefits plan for millions of dollars. Looks like he’s finally been sentenced and is getting 40 months in prison for his role in the scheme. Thats pretty crazy. I didn’t realize it was that serious. 40 months in prison is no joke.

I am extremely surprised Denver lost both games at home. They were so strong in the playoffs last year, expecting them to repeat seemed like a slam dunk.
You are not the only one that's surprised here and they were also the favorites to win again if I'm not mistaken. This Nuggets team is the same as last season and they are still strong this year as you can see how they almost sweep the Lakers. It's just that the Wolves are different this time. Even as a Warriors fan, I thought the Nuggets would win the championship again based on their performance last year and this year. However, the Timberwolves stepped up their game and showed amazing defense, limiting both Jokic and Murray. Additionally, Murray displayed how he can't handle his emotions, making a dumb move that highlighted his mental weakness in a critical situation. If they guard him well while taunting him from the start, his focus will be easily distracted and that would be game over.

Here comes the first plot twist to the Celtics vs Cavaliers Eastern Conference semi final series, Cavaliers have even the series, taking 118-94 win for game 2 in Boston. Just like me, I guess that's what a lot of us didn't see coming right ? I thought the Cavaliers best chance would be when the series head back to Ohio, but it maybe the dreadful Celtics aren't invisible after all... It's still a best of 7 series, and there is no result ascertained yet, but the Cavaliers first step towards a major upset have been taken tonight, and huge test of defending home court in game 3 and 4 is what awaits!

I guess most of the viewers are not expecting that outcome, it was a close game during the first half but then Cavs dominated the 2nd half and there's no answer from Boston, seems that they don't have any answer with Cavs executed game play, not a good sign for Boston to allow their opponents to win a game in their own court. But, I guess there's always a good adjustments that Boston will do in order to bring back the lead in this series, just one game at a time and we will see them working to try winning this series. On the other side, Cavs got this good oppotunity bringing the series at home with a tie standing, they just need to duplicate the outcome and try harder to take both games at home to have a comfortable lead and hopefully win the series against Boston.

Same thing happened with OKC, Dallas took control of the game early and kept their foot on the pedal. Both games tonight were pretty unexpected results for most bettors as both Boston and OKC have been pretty dominant this whole playoffs, but this does show everyone that no team is out of the playoffs if they show some heart.
