2025 NBA postseason thread

The clock management at the end of the Knicks-Pistons game tonight was an embarrassment for the league.

Caruso is very definition of MVGG, most valuable glue guy. He took ball away from Jackson in post then Pippen on perimeter. Wish he was on Ws.

My dream is a Cleveland-OKC Finals and the numerous people who will try to make me care about TV ratings.

I'm a neutral from many miles away, and I'd sure watch that matchup. Looks like a great show.

Playoff hoops is very enjoyable. The intensity is so different than the reg season.

We get to see the best version of a team.

The Nuggets v Clippers is best Rd 1 IMHO. Would love to see OKC v Clippers even though I love watching…er admiring Jokić.

Cade Cunningham reminds me so much of Grant Hill

Knicks get away with one

Hardaway was fouled but If they don't blow the basket at the end of the third quarter they win

Yeah my comment works two ways (but I’m obviously talking about the foul).

If you go for an unsexy buzzer beating layup instead of a highlight reel dunk, those are two points extra. Of course the end of the game gets played much differently, but Knicks got lucky there. That was a terrible turnover.

But that foul at the end, Detroit is going to be stewing over that one, especially if they lose in New York. I’m glad the game didn’t end with free throws, but that easily could have been called.

No talk on the final play of the Nuggets-Clippers yesterday? I'm a Nuggets fan and I think they got it right (so insanely close), but man I can't believe they actually made the call. I think they said the basket was good on the floor? Maybe that was part of it? But what a crazy play.

Despite that, still annoyed with blowing a 22-point lead with 11 minutes to play. I just don't think the Nuggets have the horses to go too far in the playoffs. That fourth quarter shows they have absolutely no depth, and at this point with their management any that they do have no one knows how to use it. Some of the lineups have been interesting to say the least.

But I think they can stay in most series if they win. Well, I guess that will be tested greatly against OKC if they move past the Clippers, which is definitely no given.

Minnesota will be my favorite team if they can finish off LA

That’s a terrible loss for the Lakers. Dumb plays by Reeves and Luka when it counted.

 

[TigerVols]

Dalton Knecht would have hit the corner 3s the Lakers missed all night

 

[ChrisLong]

I watch so little of this that maybe I don't know, but it seems, from what I've seen, the Lakers have lost two games because LeBron couldn't make simple inbound passes.

Today, Luka couldn’t be bothered to come to the ball.

He immediately grabbed his Achilles. He’s screwed.

Just looked at the score: way to show up in your last game of the season, Miami
