Down 5, hit a 3, steal the ball, hit a 3.. Lakers score a deuce, Giddey launches a half-court shot..



I'm getting worried with Cade missing 3 in a row because of his calf.



Pistons clinch a playoff spot. What a difference a year makes.

Golden State, Midseason Tournament on line one. They want their court back.



I knew it wasn't Jimmy's fault. Who doesn't like 50mil a year.



The Celtics appear to be playing great but they're playing meaningless games against lesser teams. Jaylen Brown is playing hurt and he likely won't get any better before the end of the season. It could be a serious problem for them as early as the second round.



>Pistons clinch a playoff spot. What a difference a year makes.

FIrst time we've had a real coach in 5+ years.

>Golden State, Midseason Tournament on line one

Without looking, I can't even remember what happened in that thing. Already irrelevant.

For the uninitiated, you’ve been privilege to the full Westbrook experience. It’s not a matter of if his brain malfunctions, but when.

If that’s not Popeye Jones on the Denver bench, he would win the look-alike contest at Spring Break.



I hate that they missed that call at the end of Det/NY as it's been my favorite series to watch. Granted I'm a Celtics fan and I want no part of the Pistons next round.

Happy for matt. Just a year or two ago, DET and CHA were similar standings wise. The Cade pick hass righted the ship. We have a guy that sells shoes and has every 10 y.o. jacking 3's. Hopefully Silver will be coming into his Stern/Sith lord phase and give us a frozen envelope. They need to do something to get me to go to another game.


And congrats to everyone that had the Murray over of 17.5 the other night. Pretty sure he blew that away by halftime. If "that" Murray is back and can stay healthy...OKC might have to play a game or two to get to the Finals. Funny how everyone had LAC moving to round two and they just did not show up the last game.


And Rudy Gobert, sacre bleu!!!

Can Houston do it. Den and Hou advancing to round 2 sure needs it.

Everyone had LAC advancing, but I just didn’t see it. If Den did this with nothing from MPJ, imagine if he can figure it out.

Let’s see if GS is over. Draymond is definitely not contributing enough to warrant his bull____ .

For all the Sengun talk I heard this year, he’s not a guy yet. How many missed easy baskets? What are you gonna do playing against a team with size?

BTW, the “chances” of DEN winning the championship keep getting bigger. If Murray can reach his best and Gordon is healthy, they have enough. OKC may be the best on paper but until they do it….

It's why defense is everything... The best shooters go cold all the time.. Harden has his regular Game 7 seven points.



Still upset over the Pistons/Knicks series. Don't really care about the rest now.. Tired of endless 3's and bad basketball.

Clutch….Gordon…..Ahhhaaaahhhh!



Over the years, I have liked watching ESPN's "win predictability" metric as games unfold. It seems to be getting progressively more erratic with how many times I am seeing a team with a 95%+ chance to win in these playoffs blow it. Celtics/Knicks last night being the most recent example.

Maybe their data isn't taking into account changes like shot clock adjustments, increased 3 pt shooting, etc...anyone else have thoughts?

It’s for casuals.

The track record of it being a relevant indicator has been proven wrong over the years. It’s just more content to throw on a screen, not much more.
