Mavs leading with 3 left, but Luka looking really average in the last few minutes.
Hardaway Jr just made an important three.
Ankle plus Dort just wearing him down? Also being a bit fat maybe?
Bench did enough in that spurt to give them air.
Fun series, you'd think both these teams will be mincemeat for the Wolves though

2-1 to the good guys now.
This was funny.
It was - but it’s also a fucking debacle. The hack-a-someone rule is the dumbest thing in any sport that I can think of. I can’t believe that the NBA still allows it.
It’s an intentional foul, a non-basketball play - it should be a foul and possession from half court.
Ludicrous that it’s still this way, a massive blight on the game

I agree, but I would allow the team to choose the shooter when the refs decide there is an intentional foul.

Yep, that works too.

Draft lottery happens, and confirmed the Basketball Gods hate Detroit. Lose 68 games in a season to get the 5th pick.
Atlanta get #1. And weirdly it is still predicted to be Sarr from the Perth Wildcats. I really wasn't all that impressed with him this year.
Spurs end up with 4th and 8th. Be interesting to see their mentality.

If Sarr is still the talk about no1, then it just goes to show that this draft class is weak, weak, weak. Definitely good enough as a mid lottery pick. Shows you want YouTube can do for you prospects, because this kid has plenty of pre-NBL video footage.
Next years draft class has better players right now than those that will feature this year. I’d take Cooper Flagg or Ron Harper’s son or there’s this Spanish kid Gonzalez right now ahead of any of the top prospects.
And congrats to the Hawks for snagging that number 1 pick for the first time in 50 years when they selected David Thompson. If they get a player even half as good as Skywalker, they will have done okay!

Jokic is a fucking freak

He took the game by the scruff aye. I am really enjoying this series. For some reason the Timberwolves escaped me this season. I have been surprised by them. Especially Edwards. Not his best game today but the kid has talent.

The Celtics path through the East
the state of both Western Semi Finals
-
Yeah it's funny isn't it. The East is a bit of a rock fight, though it's good to see the Knicks relevant again.
While the West is just the battle of a chubby European vs OKC/Minnesota.
Jokic is so fun to watch. My favourite is his complete dedication to shaving seconds off the clock after each Minnesota bucket. He deliberately spills the ball into the crowd, or turns and shouts at his team, or passes the ball to the ref. Once you notice it you never stop seeing it, it's brilliant. Shithousery at its best.
-
If the Knicks were healthy they would be a serious problem.
-
A game 7 in Denver and a game 7 in the Garden - O for awesome.
Knicks are beat up (shock horror a Tibs team beat up) and now Hart has some sort of mid-section injury. Hope it’s not ribs because he will definitely not play, especially an effort and relentless guy like him.
-
Heartbreak stuff for OKC but they did get a bit exposed with the bigger bodies of the Mavs. The offensive rebounding and second shots was huge for the Mavs. Only real blight for the Mavs was the turnovers that cost them a big lead. But the Kyrie and Luka combo showed great value in opening up space for Airplane Mode and PJ (in thr 4th quarter)
-
Well the guys can go and get their asses kicked and it will still be a very successful year for me. Great trades to put pieces around them and now those pieces are being used really well.
I cant see us getting past either of the potential opponents, but with luck we win a couple of games and make it a contest.
