2025 NBA Playoffs

[hollywood]

Playin starts April 15. Games start seriously on April 19.

Warriors squeaked through this round.

[hollywood]

Meanwhile the Wolves have the Lakers on the ropes.

[maison rustique]

Celtics still going strong!

[hollywood]

Bad day for West Coast squads. Rockets beat the Warriors.  Timberwolves sent the Lakers packing.

[hollywood]

Not looking good for the Celts.

[backyardchef]

Another super exciting conclusion. This was a game of real highs and lows for both teams.

I wouldn't say that losing in OT, then by 1 point, changes much.  These guys are all conditioned to play each game in isolation and disregard the overall picture.  As a matter of fact, these games show that they are all quite capable of disregarding 20 point deficits and playing each point individually.  

That being said, "let's go Knicks"!!

[hollywood]

It sounded good when you said it. Now down 3-1 and possibly missing Tatum, it's looking bleak for the Celts.

Meanwhile can Curry come back in Game 5?

[hollywood]

Warriors got flattened without Curry, but the Celts surprised without Tatum.

[maison rustique]

Whew! The team came through!!

[hollywood]

Well, Knicks fans here's your chance.

[maison rustique]

So sad.

[small h]

Not for everybody!

[hollywood]

They're both skilled teams, but tell me we aren't going to be watching a Pacers v. Thunder finals.  Get to work Knicks.

SGA and the Thunder are on their way.  Let's go Knicks.

[hollywood]

Say it ain't so Knicks.

[hollywood]

Looks like the Timberwolves came to play tonight.

[hollywood]

So Steve R., what is your assessment of the 3-1 leads facing the Timberwolves and the Knicks?

[Steve R.]

I have scientifically analyzed the available data and my conclusion is "uh oh".

[small h]

I checked the vibes and arrived at the same conclusion

[hollywood]

How about those Knicks! But can they control Haliburton in Game 6?

Edited May 30, 2025 by hollywood

[hollywood]

Uh-oh indeed.  Now it's time for SGA v. Haliburton.

[hollywood]

Talk about uh-oh. Seems OKC choked big time.

[hollywood]

So now the issue is can Haliburton put together two halves of good round ball.
