That’s an interesting what-if? scenario. The Mavs really missed him last year. Kyrie and Luka area tough duo. But their defense is stifling thanks to their size. Gafford was a nice addition.

These NBA playoffs have been the best ones in, what, maybe 20 years plus!?

I mean, the greatest NBA playoffs were the 2016 CAVS GSW, but this one is really itching me to confirm that these playoffs, and particularly how they have been officiated have been a fresh breath of air to the NBA landscape.

Love the new Pistons, what a fun team to watch for the next 10 years. The Rockets have been just incredible too.

The Western Conference playoffs have been a blast to watch. I enjoy watching all 4 remaining teams. We get to see two great veteran teams hoping for one last championship and two dynamic younger teams that are ready to take the mantle. I would happy with any of them as champions. Joker vs. SGA, and Steph vs. Ant-man are matchups that everyone wanted.

In the East, I'm hoping the Knicks squeak past Boston.
Cleveland is stacked. And Tyrese Halliburton is showing his critics that he isn't "overrated."

The amount of crazy endings this post season is so great - and we're barely. Seeing the Knicks walk into Boston and steal a game was so much fun. And that Haliburton finish!

I love that it is so unpredictable and that there's a great amount of parity in the league at the moment. Makes every game // series fun to watch. I just hope Steph Curry can come back soon to rejoin that series.

This is the Tyrese Halliburton playoffs.
Dude has been clutch. The anonymous players' survey calling him overrated was hilarious. I bet a lot of them are regretting that.

Speaking of regrets: The Bulls drafted the bum Patrick Williams ahead of Halliburton. It was their dumbest decision on draft day since they drafted LaMarcus Aldridge and packaged the pick in a trade to get Tyrus Thomas, who was out of the Association within 5 years.

What a great night of basketball last night! WHAT A GREAT NIGHT!

And then it's all smudged by a horrific injury to JT. You can never see me rooting for Boston, but this is just brutal. I don't think they were close to winning that game, but it just flattens the whole team going forward, it must be a great shock for them. It has to be an Achilles tear (which does not hurt as much as seen when players do tear them and in their reactions) or some bone(s) broke inside the ankle.

Hali has been so great these POs. Indy in general. They seem like they belong, they have this whole "we've been here before" vibe in them. They are unfazed. CLE being all banged up at the moment does not help, it must have thrown their rhythm off substantially.

Rooting for a NYK - IND ECF!

Celts minus Tatum are fucked. He's been their offense. I hate to invoke Slapshot, but...
