The East, what a conference! There was the Atlanta debacle last night of course, but enter Orlando! They were up 24 against Detroit to close them out, then proceeded to score 19 - yes, that's right - 19 points in the SECOND HALF. At one point they missed something like 21 consecutive shots.
When can we move to the East!?

Before the playoffs started, did anyone imagine the Sixers taking the Celtics to 7 games with the chance to knock them out of the playoffs? How about the Raptors taking the Cavs to 7 and possibly winning the series? How about the Magic taking the top-seeded Pistons to 7 games??!! It’s astounding. The Eastern Conference is really something.
Flipping to the West, what would guys have said if before the playoffs I predicted the Wolves would win in 6 without Donte in in the last three games, without Ant in the last 2.5 games and without Ayo in the last game? You probably would have called for the guys in white coats to come take me away and put me someplace safe.
. I’ll add that it also seems improbable that the Lakers would win their series against the Rockets without Doncic and with Reaves just returning from an injury. Yes, Durant got hurt, but that’s to be expected with him. And note that the Lakers beat the Rockets early in the series before Durant went down.
The NBA playoffs have been fascinating this year.

Exactly why we shouldn't be so certain that the wolves lose to the SpursLipoli390 wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2026 8:49 am Before the playoffs started, did anyone imagine the Sixers taking the Celtics to 7 games with the chance to knock them out of the playoffs?

Coming into the playoffs I was confident we could beat the inexperience of San Antonio with a healthy team. It's going to be a lot harder without Ant and Donte but I still thin we can do it. This playoffs is pretty crazy, I thought Boston was going to get to the finals fairly easily. Boston always plays with their food too much, so a loss or two isn't a surprise for them but to go to game 7 is crazy. Every season Mitchell flames out early, but a first round exit to a team that is missing it's point guard all series and Ingram last night would be embarrassing for them.Lipoli390 wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2026 8:49 am Before the playoffs started, did anyone imagine the Sixers taking the Celtics to 7 games with the chance to knock them out of the playoffs?

Tatum is out tonight, and it sounds like our guys Garza is in the starting lineup in a win or go home game 7.

Sounds like the wolves assistant GM Matt Llyod is the heavy favorite for the bulls jobs. If that happens sounds like Micah Nori will be the bulls next HC

It will suck if this happens but both guys are deserving. It seemed like a matter of time either of those guys or both were gonna get top jobs at some point. The good news is I don't think it will be hard to find talented guys to slide into those spots. I do think both of those guys fit really well with Finch and Connelly and what they do here.

This past summer Derick White was very high on the list of guards we all wanted here, and Boston pretty much had him untouchable with what was considered a great contract at that time. He's only 31, so he shouldn't have had this massive downturn. On the year 39.4% from the field and 32.7% from three on 8.3 attempts. But was even worse in the playoffs 32.1% from the field and 27.3% from three on 7.9 attempts. Boston fans are ready to move him, but all saying who would take him now.
