New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[JackD201]

@JackD201 Pacers are for real

They play with great pace and have size and length. A match up with the Knicks will guarantee a lot of action.

What a terrible thing to read. The Celtics arent going to win this series but what devastating news about Tatum

Jayson Tatum suffers torn Achilles: Injury could force Celtics star to miss all of next season in brutal blow​

Tatum, hurt vs. the Knicks in Game 4, will miss the rest of the playoffs and potentially the 2026 title chase

A fairly decent first half as the Celtics try to play without Tatum and most likely all of next season....

at the half the game is tied at 59

Celtics are going to need a big lead going into the 4th period as that is when Brunson takes over and he is unstoppable

 

[Steve Williams]

Well Boston is indeed taking a 15 point lead into the 4th

Celtics 91-76

This is usually Brunson time but he is playing with 4 fouls

 

[Steve Williams]

As Brunson goes so go the Knicks as evident tonight when Jalen fouled out in the 4th. Knicks are a totally fifferent team without him and lacked the firepower and the shooting from everywhere ability

Celtics extend the series which is now 3-2 Knicks

Final Celtics 127-102

A good game

 

[Steve Williams]

This could be a long and final night for the GSW as Steph sits again for the 4th time

End of 1st period, Wolves 30-23

 

[Steve Williams]

Not looking good for GSW as no Steph and Wolves take a 15 point lead at the half 62-47

 

[Steve Williams]

as predicted, GSW fall to the Wolves 121-112 and Wolves move on to WC finals

Good to see Julius Randle finally finds a home where he can be productive and he was in these playoffs

Good game and the Celtics will not go quietly, but 5 fouls on Brunson in a quarter? Really? Has never happened in his career. I have nothing but respect for the champs playing with back to wall but I also believe NBA has vested interest in this going 6 or 7.

c'mon do you really thing the game is rigged. That's a bit far fetched

 

[Dimfer]

I kind of questioned at least one of Brunson’s foul..

Rooting for the Knicks in this series

It would be good to see a changing of the guard in the NBA.. Knicks are damn good but only when Brunson plays as seen last night. And don't discount the Pacers. They are smooth and very, very good.

I hope Thunder makes it through as well but the Wolves are still an excellent team and the Nuggs won't go quietly

I questioned one of the fouls as well (his 4th) BUT Tibs did not challenge it and they played on

 

[Steve Williams]

exciting final 2 minutes of the first half at Denver. Both teams playing tight with a lot of focus being called including SGA who exits at the final 2 minutes with his 4th fouls and OKC leading by 58-46. Nuggets look drained seeing upmwith the younger Thunder but nonetheless roar back and tie the game with a few seconds left in the half . Thunder has the final possession and with 1 second on the clock ball goes to Dort behind the arc and drains a 3 as the light goes on to end the half.

Denver 61-58

Wih 4 fouls on SGA it will be interesting how the Thunder adapts. They have so many sharp shooters that the odds are slightly in their favor but Nuggs wont go quietly as it is win and force a game 7 or go fishing

 

[Steve Williams]

Many ties and lead changes in the 3rd period,Again it comes down to the final minute of the period with Denver finishing on a 10-0 run

End of 3rd

Denver 90-82

 

[Steve Williams]

Shades of last game where Denver lead going into the 4th period only to have OKC take over the game and steal the win

 

[Steve Williams]

in the 4th Denver goes up 95-86 and the crowd becomes the 7th player on the floor as the arena is electrified

Denver playing with a lot of confidence and Thunder miss a lot of sure shots
Denver 102 -88 with 5;17 left

Unlike past games Denver is controlling the 4th period

 

[Steve Williams]

OKC out of fouls with 5;00

109-93 with 4:00 left

Looks like there will be a game 7

 

[Steve Williams]

Denver turns the ball over twice on careless passes and OKC scores on both

109-99 with 2:00 left and what a final exciting 2 minutes----just like the 3rd period

Joker fouled and makes both FT 111-99

Holmgren scores and is fouled 111-102 with 1:53

again Denver turns the ball over but OKC comes up dry and on the return Westbrook scores 113-104

Jokic fouled and makes both 115-104 Denver lead

Caruso drains a 3 to make it 115-107 with 55 seconds in game

Jokic again fouled as OKC wants the ball back

makes both 117-107OKC misses a 3 and Denver takes the rebound and is fouled with 40 seconds in game

Braun makes both 119-107 and run out the clock '

Final 119-107

and this series becomes sudden death, winner takes all .......fabulous game

 

[Steve Williams]

This is probably the best post season in many years as there is an apparent passing of the guard where the young, fast and accurate shooting young teams have systematically eliminated the old guard.

Celtics looking to lose and Cavs gone

Houston and Lakers gone

GSW gone

Denver is not old but compared to Pacers and Thunder they are

Conference finals look to be great and the NBA championship could be epic
