A lot of people are picking Minnesota to beat Denver. Not buying that at all, Nuggets match up well against them.

I think it comes down to the Murray/Ant, MPJ/McDaniels matchups, Jokic is going to get his 25pts at the minimum. But if Ant and McDaniels can win their matchups or in regards to McDaniels slow down or match MPJ then Minny has a serious chance. They're much better equipped to win the series this year simply by having McDaniels and Reid available and Denver's bench being weaker.
 
Knicks blew that 6 point lead with a minute left. Why is Hart in on offense? I know he shoots 79% FT but this series he looks off. Hopefully the Knicks can win in OT.
 
The Knicks worked so hard to lose that game. So, so hard.

Andre looks absolutely lost in space so far in the Pacers-Bucks game.

Should’ve put Devo in for Hart there but Thibs doesn’t think like that substitute a better ft shooter of course if Hart just hits 1-2 then we’re not having this conversation, Emeka made his ft against Duke because he’s a winner Hart is not. Also the 4 pt play anyone with half a brain just let’s Maxey shoot that.

It's just crazy they fouled Maxey on a three and Hart was on the court and ended up with the ball. Hart isn't even close on his free throws. There was a lot of dumb stuff and missed ft's from both teams but the Knicks gagged it away and Maxey stole it.

Brunson missing a bunch of fts and OG missing 1 that wouldve put Knicks up 7, Precious played great in game 4 was a DNP tonight.

His only offense he’s confident in is his 3 point shot and… well yeah.

On defense he’s an energizer bunny who’s a little too aggressive at times.

His whole game needs serious coaching, development, and molding.

Maxey has been destroying the Knicks all series, but this takes the bleeping cake. One second the Knicks looked like they had it in the bag, and then Mitch commits that horrific foul and enables the four-point play to make it a one-possession game. And then the missed free throw, and then the long three to tie, and then the blown lead in OT, thanks to a bunch of bad offensive sets. And still they came back, only to let it slip away one more time.

This is a tough loss to stomach.

Tonight, he has no idea what he’s doing. They’re sitting so far off of him and playing five on four. Twice, he’s actually stopped someone on his own team from driving the baseline. I think they need to put the ball in his hands because he is a catastrophe without it.

He needs to take like 10 deep breaths and slow down.

Seeing Maxey do that, and Murray the night before, and Shai being an MVP-caliber guy, and Bam being so consistently excellent, and Booker one of the best scorers in the NBA, and KAT an all-time shooter among big men, and guys like Fox, Monk & Quickley being good-to-excellent NBA players...

And then you look at Calipari's trophy cabinet. :D

So he's the same guy he was at UConn it seems.
 
Maxey's three to tie it last night was amazing. But after the debates we had about moving screens at the end of the UConn women's season I'm waiting for someone to look at Embiid on that play.

Well that sucked as a Knicks fan. Both teams stole one, on to game 6.

Want to put it on Thibodeau, but geez, so many plays that should be auto for pro's were not made by the Knicks. Guess everybody shared equally.

They should survive that anyway. But it makes me nervous.

Celtics taking care of business tonight. White has been amazing.

Derrick White's a hell of a player. The Celtics play inexplicably stupid basketball at times. A 30 point lead was down to 18 in the blink of an eye.

I didn't see the moving screens but I did see Maxey take 5 steps without dribbling before his 4 point play.
 
There needs to be some real conversation about how much of a bust the Kawhi-PG Era has been in LA. What did Balmer get for all the money he paid them?

It's not just the money. They had SGA and they traded him to get Paul George.

The NBA saw it too in their post-game review of the last 2 minutes.
