Heat will split the games in Boston but lose 1-4.

Without Butler, they will have to play out of their skins and Boston’s intensity will have to drop significantly for them to win even once…it is possible but highly unlikely…

First time tuning in the NBA for the season, only because the local Knickerbockers are in the playoffs.

This Brunson fella looks like a mixture of Chris Gayle and David Warner

No upsets in Game 1s yet...

The Celtics winning it all partially because of a Knicks lottery pick would be so nice.

I get why three point shots are so preferred these days but it doesn't always make for great viewing. Over 50 missed 3s by the Celtics and the Heat today, 49 in Denver last night. That's a lot of long balls clunking off the rim.

Terrible first half for the Mavs, against the Clippers.

Can't quite figure out who I want to lose more...

Nuggs strolled to victory over the Lakers as did the Bucks over the Pacers without Giannis

Simmons would have been hung by the media if he put up a performance like Haliburton

 

[Ali TT]

Jimmy, Zion, Giannis, Kawhi - quite a few notable absences already and I've probably missed a few.

Finally binging 'The Last Dance' and people and those playoff scores throughout the series really show how NBA offense has just become a different beast in the last decade or so.

Things didn't change that much throughout most of the 00s, just need to look at some of scores in that era when you had sides like the Pistons, Spurs dominating.

Signing Harris to a max was bad but the Sixers failure to trade him for 5 years has been a killer
