New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[Dimfer]

Oklahoma massacre

I think the last second win in game one will work against the Nuggets in this series.

 

[Steve Williams]

The Thunder is such a well oiled machine. Their bench played most of the 2nd half and built up a 49 point lead. Their bench plays better than most teams starters.

This was certainly a statement by OKC

Game over. Nuggs only lead was at 2-0

OKC 149-106

 

[DLS]

With 8 seconds left Tatum drives the basket and stripped of the ball by Bridges Knocks run out the clock and suddenly Knocks have robbed the Knicks of both home games having come back from large deficits in each game

Brunson and Bridges in the 4th period totally clobbered the Celtics

Knicks are for real.

Unbelievable game. Knicks-Wolves in finals? I predicated that a year ago right here...

Unbelievable game. Knicks-Wolves in finals? I predicated that a year ago right here...

watching last night's game I see a Wolves-Thunder final with Thunder taking the WC

as for the East the Knicks look strong but I have to admit the Pacers are in it as well

 

[Steve Williams]

The Cavs finally win one on the road tonight handily beating the Pacers 126-104 to close to 2-1

 

[Steve Williams]

at Denver in a somewhat lackluster game OKC lead most of the game until the 4th when Denver caught the Thunder but many lead changes and neither team lead by more than3 points. Thunder was up by 3 until the final 20 seconds when once again Aaron Gordon comes to the rescue to sink another 3 to tie the game and to force OT

In Ot Denver quickly goes up 109-102

Thunder for the final 3 minutes of OT missed everything and strong defense by the Nuggets prevailed at the end and Denver once again steals another game from OKC to go up 2-1 in the series

Final 113-104

as good as OKC played in the last game, they looked tired and slow this game with very little defense

Aaron Gordon once again rescues this game to force OT and Jokic and Murray won it in OT

 

[Steve Williams]

Celtics finally come to play as this is a pivotal game

at the half Celtics hav big lead 71-46

 

[Steve Williams]

115-93 Celtics win in yet another boring game. Neither team was especially impressive but series now 2-1 Knicks

 

[Steve Williams]

low scoring first period at Chase Center and far from exciting by either team

21-21 end of first

 

[Steve Williams]

another low scoring half as both teams are missing everything and only a few 3's taken

Butler is carrying GSW. ANT has done nothing in the half

Halftime GSW lead 42-40

 

[Steve Williams]

Tough home loss by the Warriors as this game was up for grabs down two the last few minutes. Everyone good fouled out aon Warriors and Wolves without Steph for the GSW went to work and finished strong

Final Wolves 102-97

 

[Steve Williams]

Unlikely Steph willl be back for the next game

Wolves looking good to go back to the WC Finals

 

[DLS]

115-93 Celtics win in yet another boring game. Neither team was especially impressive but series now 2-1 Knicks

After a few hours to think through what I witnessed here are my thoughts: one team is a champion with their backs to the wall - a loss would virtually guarantee they were done. The other team has achieved nothing of great merit yet and is still learning and found itself in the enviable position of being up 2-0 - they came out relaxed and got what should have been expected - a shellacking by a desperate champion looking into the abyss. As Pat Riley once said, "Playoffs don't begin until a home team loses a game..." So NOW we have a playoff series where teams find out just who they are. Go Knicks!

 

[Steve Williams]

The playoffs this season have been as exciting as I can ever remember. The Knicks truly look like contenders. Brunson however is a one man show and he needs to stay healthy because the Knicks cannot win without him. He is virtually unable to be defended and when the game is in the final seconds and the Knicks need a 3 you know the ball will be in his hands

 

[Steve Williams]

at Denver , end of first, both teams can't make a basket and are missing everything including sure dunks and free throws Almost embarrassing to watch
OKC lead 17-8

 

[Steve Williams]

Both teams continue to struggle. So many missed shots by both teams. I don’t think I’ve seen as bad a first half as this. This is like a D game. Nothing is falling for anyone
At the half
OKC 42-35

This is a pivotal game for both teams and neither seems to want it bad enough

 

[Steve Williams]

What a comedy of errors this game. This was Denver’s to win into the 4th when OKC grabbed the lead. Jokic is like a fish out of water as he is missing everything Bith teams truly stink today. Is it the altitude or Jon one. Ares. With 3:15 in game OKC has slim lead 84-80. as Jokic misses 2 free throws.

Nuggets totally choke in the final 3 minutes but OKC not much better other than a basket by SGA

Both teams lacked the killer instinct. No sense of urgency by either team. Nuggets run out of clock.

OKC stole this win to even the series

Final OKC 92-87

OKC didn’t win it. Rather Nuggets lost it

 

[Steve Williams]

Pacers are more for real than the Knicks. I can’t believe how they are beating up the Cavs

92-54 midway through the third.

I thought for sure this was the Cavs year

 

[Steve Williams]

129-109 Pacers

This could be a Pacers Knicks EC final.

@JackD201 you must be stoked

 

[DLS]

129-109 Pacers

This could be a Pacers Knicks EC final.

@JackD201 you must be stoked

I would love this - Pacers took Knicks in 7 last year with 4 Knick starters out or playing injured and seriously compromised.- would feel good to repay them... but we got to take care of business with Celtics first -
