Absolutely brutal whistle for Sacramento thus far.

Really impressed with Sacramento. They're supposed to be the young and inexperienced team but they're holding strong and countering every GS run. Warriors can't cut into this lead because as soon as they hit a shot the Kings are either at the rim or open for three within 15 seconds

I saw multiple missed FTs by GS including multiple misses by Curry. His shooting was off last night. That certainly didn't help their cause.

Great little video showing how, even when they go iso, the Celtics run a ton of off-ball actions to open up lanes/pull rim protects away from the hoop:



The NBA is so damn good, man.

Is this not as much a factor of the defenders getting pulled out for not watching the ball and understanding spacing well ie bad defense? None of this seems to be particularly mind-blowing scheming to me
 
Suns are the Bucks of the west. Talented team, but terrible defensively on the perimeter.
 
What a fun first quarter from the Knicks.

There's a lot of '94 in this team (probably the first sports team I loved, I was seven in the spring of '94). Play well as a team, strong on defense, very likable role players.

I'm locked in.

Tried to find a ticket for game 2 and the cheapest I could find was around $400 for nosebleed seats. After hearing how loud MSG is from the ABC broadcast, I understand why now

Should be a great series

My brother in law who I go to UConn games with brought his sons to game 2, said it was off the hook loud. Like we were just at the BET together and he said it was jarring how much louder ( like 10x) the knicks game was . He’s not one for hyperbole. Makes sense in that it’s a playoff game for home team, and not a spilt crowd for a tourney, but to echo hey adrien this is feeling like 94 in the city.
New York has been simmering for a good playoff hoops team for a couple decades. They will explode .

The prices are high for sure, but just still less than the rangers games right now. That’s why I’m really getting deja vu here. The city is on board . Like 94. springtime at MSG with the rangers and knicks playing well is a magic .

It’s time.

LGR and Bing Bong!
 
Kevin Love back to doing Kevin Love outlet passes. Sorry Knicks fans I'm here for the Jimmy Buckets experience.

RJ Barrett led Knicks stunk up the second half - yeesh

They did and the Heat are a 2nd team, Spoelstra always has a 2nd half game plan, while Thibs doesn’t adjust. It’s game 1 we’ll see how the Knicks respond in game 2.

What should Thibs have done? They focused on stopping Brunson and left everyone else open. Nobody could make a shot.

Give Mccbride some minutes, keep Obi Toppin in when there was 5 minutes left, play Grimes more, attack Jimmy Butler after he rolled his ankle.
 
How are the Warriors a 6th seed, that’s a 67 win team when healthy. They just save their wad for the playoffs now.

Toppin played 31 minutes. They tried to attack, RJ turned it over three times in a row. Deuce McBride, are you serious?

Curry only played 56 games, Wiggins only played 37 games.
 
Epic game from Steph. At least one of the Warriors and Lakers are going home this round.
