huge disappointment for Tatum, who was playing very well last night. I hope he can recover soon, he really didn't deserve such a bitter end to the season. we should ask ourselves if this plethora of injuries is connected to the tight rhythms of the Playoffs, for me it can't be a coincidence. too few breaks and here are the results. Knicks one step away from history.

lottery = more than rigged...

And another chapter of heartbreak for the city of Cleveland. Moving right along.....

[GTA3Rockstar]

Speaking of heartbreak, the f*ckin Nuggets. Back to back blown leads, in the 4th quarter... Outscored 29-18 and 34-19 tonight in those two 4ths.

 

They just can't close outfor whatever f*ckin reason. Even in the clippers series, game 4. 20pt lead gone, outscored 35-17 and got bailed out by Air Gordon's dunk

 

You can even go back to the Wolves series last year, game 7. 20pt lead AT HOME IN THE 3RD QUARTER. Then it became a 1pt lead 

 

 

Nuggets could've won this series 4-1... smh

I guess you could say, the Nuggets are getting Nuggeted by OKC in the 4th quarter similar to how they do it. But seriously even though MPJ is basically disabled Nuggets are still annoying. With a full healthy team they would be an even bigger threat.

Nuggets totally gassed imho.I would be surprised if they came back from the abyss... too short really, even though the starting 5 is something special...

Warriors couldn't even win a single game without Curry.

At least Curry will have plenty of time to heal his hamstring. Silver lining and all that.

I can't get on the Cavs, though...look at the injuries their main guys had to deal with.

 

I had a feeling the Knicks would lose last night, but damn....they were totally out of sync. They better wrap this up at MSG tomorrow night.

Well, the first game he went out early in the 2nd, so thats one game. Game 3 they had a 6pt 4th quarter lead and blew it

 

 

 

 

Boston is still a strong team, even without Tatum

[GTA3Rockstar]

We really could've had this in the bag at 4-1, 4-2 but doesn't matter now; do or die for both teams

[AlessioLaker]

Knicks-Pacers, new chapter Is comin'....

Knicks hate to take (their) pace slow...otherwise, playing at the crazy pace of the Pacers, always looking for quick shots, would 99% mean losing the series.
Curious to see the Hali-Brunson and Carlisle-Thibo challenges..

[AlessioLaker]

Very bad news...

[Margot Robbed Me]

Carrying Jokic all these games ruined his hams

[AlessioLaker]

The injury bug has been feasting this playoffs.

[AlessioLaker]

[Margot Robbed Me]

Remember when Warriors got dragged for supposedly bringing KD back from injury too soon against the Raptors in 2019?

 

That's nothing compared to this. Lmao.

[TheSantader25]

Well it's been fun. Nuggets need to add some depth so these guys can get healthy again next year. We got two very interesting conference finals on our hands.

[AlessioLaker]

Blowout... the deeper team that arrived with more energy passes, the revving up in the third quarter is eloquent...
Daigneault wins it with an attentive, suffocating defense, at the limit and even beyond sorry for Jokic

[Margot Robbed Me]

Now that it's over, Denver medical staff are now taking a chainsaw to Aaron's hamstring to finish the job.

[Margot Robbed Me]

uh oh

 

[GTA3Rockstar]

Trash performance

 

 

Game 4 and 5 blown leads in the 4th cost us the series

[Funktipus]

Well, the fun starts here in NYC tonight. I work two blocks from MSG....the atmosphere hasn't been like this since the 90s.

[GTA3Rockstar]

Mr Clutch Jalen Brunson Tyrese Haliburton

[AlessioLaker]

the Knicks will regret this crazy, almost Lakers-esque ending, with the advantage thrown in the trash. 

Ty

[TheSantader25]

I don't understand how this pacers team functions lol. They defy the laws of basketball.

[Funktipus]

What the **** did I watch last night??? You can't make this s*** up!!! I'm sitting here still in shock....New York Chokerbockers. And you know Reggie Miller was loving every minute of it.

This is what happens when you don't do the little things right in tight playoff games. No margin for error now....Friday night is a MUST-win.

Overrate that!

[AlessioLaker]

The Nuggets, not just Jokic, have worried the Thunder much more. Edwards I'm not always surprised by the depth of the OK roster, J-Dub among others is amazing. I didn't mind Edwards but he seemed too alone
