The NBA playoffs have been great this year. While there have been a few blowouts, the number of games decided in the last minute seems to be much higher this year. I am particularly happy about the Lakers early exit and Milwaukee beating the Nets. The play of Ben Simmons in the Atlanta series has been dumbfounding. How do you lose that much confidence in your game?
A lot of people bitching about ratings with LA / BKLN being out - but I'm happy to see new blood in the finals. Pulling for MKE over here.

Some great games indeed, it's been a great playoff. I got hyped the other night because of the crowd noise. So nice to have the fans back.
Ben Simmons, man poor kid. I've seen it before with Roy Hibbert, it's all mental. He needs a new home, I don't know how you move him though, he's making like 30m/yr for the next 3yrs or something.
I'm in love with Atlanta right now, I hope it's them and the Suns in the finals.

What a finish last night in Phoenix! Amazing play call by Monty Williams - and equally great execution. I loved how all the Clippers were calling for goaltending - it pays to know the rules.
I hope MKE shows up tonight - I really want them to win it all.

This suns run has been incredible. I leapt off the couch last night. My partner has joined me in the excitement. I’ll be sad when it ends but for now the Suns are providing everything I could ever want from the sport as a team fan.
I guess we will know real soon which one of these outlier teams will be taking it all.
I’ll be happy to see anyone but the clippers get it really. My hope is of course for the suns to decimate from here on out.

The "feel good" finals of the decade! Rooting for MKE but would also be great if Monty, Chris, and Book were to get a ring as well. Crazy that Giannis is already back and playing effectively. I hope it goes 7.
