2025 NBA postseason thread

[MileHigh]

Kind of amusing listening to the broadcast team, with Richard Jefferson being the only one to even vaguely acknowledge that we all know Halliburton blew his Achilles.

Breen is fine but the other two are jokers. And they're actually Emmy winners compared to the pregame/halftime/postgame idiots.

Former board member Elliotte Friedman once said it was a big deal for TNT to get the Stanley Cup Finals because it never telecast the NBA Finals. TNT tonight would be a lot better than these clowns

It's Screamin' A yelling about nothing and playing solitaire.

TNT was great on the NHL Final, even though no one watched. Its French Open coverage was top-notch. ESPN broadcats are all about ESPN and nothing else.

It's seriously a clown show.

Temu George Jefferson.

Paging @exmediahack

 

[Bubbler]

The "Saw" series showed more restraint as far as torture porn is concerned than ESPN has had in repeatedly replaying Haliburton's calf explode in slow-mo. Christ.

 

[MileHigh]

Even by ESPN "standards," this is embarrassing.

Rooting for a Willis Reed moment? Just tuning in after work here.

I love this Pacers team.

I fear the big OKC run is coming. (9m left 3rd Q)

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

*click*

 

[UNCGrad]

Welp.

McConnell has done a helluva job carving himself a niche in the NBA.

He just fueled that run for OKC in 77 seconds.

 

[Jake from State Farm]

If the Pacers win the title they can put Rick Carlisle in the Hall of Fame tomorrow.

I remember when Rick Carlisle coached the Pistons. He had hair then. I didn’t.

 

[HanSenSE]

I know it's been about 40 years since the merger but still pull for the old ABA teams when the make The Finals.

 

[UNCGrad]

And then he scores eight straight for Indy. Amazing.

But nobody else touches the ball when he’s in there

 

[dixiehack]

Oklahoma should never be known as the epicenter of basketball.

Hank Iba scowls from the grave.

 

[UNCGrad]

Yeah, he gives away so much. Three straight turnovers and it's 11 now. Ugh. He's both kept Indy in it and fueled both OKC runs. Gawd.

 

[swingline]

Yeah, he’s scored some points, but T.J. Is a walking turnover. If he isn’t stopping just past half-court, he’s trying to pass through three defenders.

Paging Bob Netolicky, paging Mel Daniels, paging Roger Brown ... please report to the court immediately.
