They’re Playin’ Basketball

The NBA playoff’s has been wild for fans this season. The first round was wrapped up with a win by Golden State over the Rockets in the 2nd game 7 we saw in so many days.

The semis started with all of the road teams winning in Game 1.  (With the exception of Golden State / Minnesota as they have yet to play. )

As I write this, Cleveland is up by 14 on Indiana with 9:37 left in the 2nd quarter. Indiana spanked them in the first game. So much so, that I thought I was watching them run through another Doc Rivers led squad. Cleveland is missing 3 starters tonight. If they can maintain this pace this might be a series. If Indiana comes back to lose by single digits or if they happen to pull out a win, Cleveland is cooked.  Still picking Indiana to win in 6.

Im looking forward to the Warriors  Timberwolves game tonight. Warriors are a fun team to watch, especially since adding Jordan’s kid ( allegedly )

I do think the Wolves win this series, but to be fair, I didnt have Golden State winning game 7 in Houston. We all saw how that worked out. I love watching Edwards play, & Im a big fan of Stephs. So this series will be fun to watch regardless. Wolves in 6.

135 points. Thats how many points the Bawsten Celts left in the gym last night. 135 points. Bro. Thats insane. Madness. Anarchy even. Imagine the may make 10 of those. They win by 20. But they did not.

Shout out to Karl Anthony Towns for playing with those fouls the entire 2nd half while still playing defense in some capacity,

The Knicks are tough, & if the Celts dont get their shit together & start playing ball instead of 2k, they should be able to pull this series out.  Keep shooting 3’s like you did in game 1 & watch as the Knicks have a chance to meet the Wolves in the finals.

Wow. Talk about a fun match up.  Celtics in 5.

OKC & the Nuggets played a thrilling game 1 in which the Thunder squandered a 20 point lead & ended with another Aaron Gordon game winner.

His Damian Lilliard game winning smirk under the mob was iconic. Great play by Russ for seeing the open man & not getting greedy in his return back to OKC.

I dont actually understand how the Nuggets win ball games. They remind me of a Rec Center version of the Spurs. They are fundamentally sound, and their star looks outta shape but still manages to drop triple doubles routinely.

They had no business beating the Clippers, except the Clippers had Jimmy Harden. Ok  scratch that, they did have business being there. Damnit Kawhi.

I think OKC is a great team. I think they will rebound and do a better job of taking care of Denver in game 2. However, if they let the Nuggets stick around and keep these games close, they are going to wind up losing this series in a game 7 at home.  Thunder in 6.

This isnt financial advice, and I sure as hell dont know what Im talking about.

I just like to watch B - Ball and talk shit about who’s playin, especially when the Lakers have already gone fishing.

So get Luka some bigs Mr Pelinka. Or Nico may just keep his job.

Upon finishing this write up, Cleveland is still up by 11 at the end of the first half.
