2024 NBA playoffs thread

Bron -- 39 years old, plus 7 years times 39 for the DOG that's in there. So LeBron is 312 years old.

Holy cow that Knicks finish. Felt like Reggie Miller but good for the Knicks.

 

VERY glad I decided today at like 2, you know what, I’ve never been to a Knicks playoff game in 20 years here, city loves this team so energy will be great, can take 2-0 lead so will be intense as hell, I should get a ticket. Stands were shaking. And kudos to the classic New York guy next to me on the aisle who was mad at folks leaving early and blocked them from coming back down when Knicks took the lead.

Haven’t watched replays yet. I assume Knicks had to foul or be close to fouling on the last steal. Was quite the scrum.

 

Two flat-out amazing games tonight. That was fun.

 

Say goodnight Lakers

 

Not a Knicks fan but getting to experience that game in-person.

Wandering midtown, stopping in at a diner, soaking in a great NYC night.

Getting home in time for the fourth quarter to see my Lakers. Hey, they're up! This could be the one.

Now sitting in my recliner, my cats staring at me after I whipped a pillow across the apartment.

What a night of hoops but damn it.

 

That’s an awesome NYC day/night right up until …

What a late game though. LeBron coming up huge but no help (AD zero in 4th). If LAL can’t win when Russell goes 7-11 from 3 then not going to happen. Love Joker’s post moves.

 

Denver's play in the clutch is absolutely phenomenal. Thanks almost entirely of course to Jokic. Just makes the right play every single damn time, whether scoring, passing or just directing the entire show. Well...he did throw up that ludicrous 3 to try and draw a foul with 1:15 to go that somehow ends up in Gordon's hands who gets it to Porter for a 3, but those things happen to great teams too. But I think in the last five minutes against the Lakers over the past 2 years, they must score on like 98 percent of their possessions.

I STILL think Lakers can do something in this series. Agh! I'm so naive. But yeah, you get those first 3 quarters from AD, LeBron in the fourth, Russell hitting, Murray being absolutely awful for three quarters and you still can't finish...not good.

 

The Lakers are never dead until you kill them with fire. Like on Mother's Day in 2011.

 

Lakers piss away a 20-point lead and they’re all crying about the officiating.
