NBA Season - now 24/25

Looks like Frank Vogel has been fired as Lakers coach. It's not really his fault that they assembled such a flawed team, but as always it is easier to fire the coach than get rid of the players. This will not be the end of the pain, as LBJ AD and Westbrick command a huge chunk of salary which will hamper any attempts to retool

On January 6 Celtics were the 11th seed in the East.
They finish the season the 2nd seed in the East.
Impressive turnaround.
Tatum has averaged more than 28 ppg in that stretch including a couple of big 50+ point games. Their defence has been impressive and Marcus Smart leading the offence has made a huge difference.
In a playoff defensive slog, they will miss Williams III

And for their efforts, they'll likely get the honour of playing Brooklyn. They'd have been much better off dropping a spot and getting Chicago.
Will be a wicked series for the neutral though. Tatum v Durant, Smart trying to guard Kyrie. Brown could. The difference.
Edit - meant to add, I think the reason they didn't try to drop is that they couldn't afford to risk dropping to 4th where they would get the Raptors - too many unvaxxed guys (Brown and Horford I believe)

Nets as expected take care of the Cavs
Kyrie cooking with 34 and 12
Durant with 25 and 11 -

Cavs were trying so hard at the death but the Nets just kept that 7-point buffer in a really professional way.

very physical game
both teams bashing in to each other
-
lol 45 fouls not even halfway through the last quarter
-
And here comes Minny. They've stormed into the lead on the back of some good defence and shooting by the other players not named KAT, capped off by a monster slam from Anthony Edwards. I've not seen much of him but he is some player. PG13 has had an excellent game. But all of a sudden they are looking clipsy...
-
great game but Minny look home on the back of Russell and especially Edwards late
George had a big 2nd half but no help and that last shot was a stinker
How fucking good is playoff NBA? Some of the play i have seen today has been awesome.
Lol and as i speak PG fumbles and then drains one from teh carpark. too little too late though
-
@mariner4life meanwhile Towns can only look on and wonder who has the most pea sized heart between him and AD

Cool moment for T-Wolves fan - they've had it rough.
How much better is full crowd NBA playoffs compared to the bubble/restricted crowds.
Huge atmosphere. Towns gets a chance to show what he's got in a full series

@mariner4life Regular season points totals before todays games
Minnesota For 9387 Against 9167
Clippers For 8752 Against 8800Will worsen a bit with Minnesota currently getting woopped by Chicago.
cool story
now do it for the 31 games Paul George was available.
also what was the head to head this year? 3-1?
Which now becomes three wins to two thank you, but one of the two Minnesota wins was in the game that really counted.
