2025 NBA Post-Season thread!!!

blackvodka · 04-19-2025, 09:02 AM

Now that the play in games are finished, the NBA post-season had officially started. The four 4-5 and 3-6 games start today, with the Bucks vs. Pacers being the early game and the Lakers vs. Minny being the night game.

TheSting · 04-19-2025, 09:59 AM

Thunder all the way.

JRX · 04-19-2025, 10:09 AM

No point in watching for me until say the Knicks get to the second rd and actually win a game vs bos until then its basically a giant waste of time.

This is gonna be a greatly informed radio listen. According to the announcer 'Aaron Smith' is starting. Five years into a career. Can't even hit the rim on an open three. Sheesh...

I mean, hey, we comment on the game we have and the top players in that game. If the Bucks open a 10 point lead, then you can snipe.

Damn that's a nice pic. Is that part of the base set or an insert?

Nomad · 04-19-2025, 01:14 PM

Didn't see this level of drubbing on the Bucks. Pacers need to be in the conversation.

Insert! Along with the Championship Moments cards.

rhigh2390 · 04-19-2025, 01:51 PM

I'll be pretty shocked if Giannis doesn't ask out after losing this series. Their roster just isn't good.

Nomad · 04-19-2025, 02:01 PM

If you are the leader of a team you hand picked, coach on down, it's on you.

But anyway, 11-1 Bucks run. Exposing TJ McConnell-Mathurin secondary. 15 point game.

There is zero conversation until the lower seed wins on the road in rd 2.

Nomad · 04-19-2025, 02:37 PM

Still a 15 point game. Thank god. Seems like Nesmith's hustle at the boards was key. Next.

Then way talk about him^^^

Nomad · 04-19-2025, 02:53 PM

Just to trigger inveztors.

We need more player collectors, folks. Wear your supercollection like a badge, not a cudgel. As long as it is current playoff and state-of-the-game relevant.

I know it hurts plenty of collectors to come to a realization that their Giannis potential has been capped. But that's on you for elevating him to Steph-level too soon. Dude now hawking petrochemical products. Not even prophylactics. SHeee

drobfan8 · 04-19-2025, 03:35 PM

If Boston don't repeat it's a massive failure for their season with that stacked squad. All the pressure is in them. Especially as they only have one quality team to beat to get to the Finals.

Any other team wins the title and it's a big time result.

Taking the field is enticing.

I still feel like someone will get OKC.

Lakers and Clips are hitting their straps at the right time. Lakers may run out of juice. LeBron won't of course. Wink wink.

drobfan8 · 04-19-2025, 03:51 PM

This last few mins behind the Clips has been terrible.

Denver have some nice momentum

drobfan8 · 04-19-2025, 04:02 PM

I'm most looking forward to Dallas' run to the title now that they got rid of the overweight white Euro that can't play defense.

blackvodka · 04-19-2025, 05:02 PM

The Bucks laid a egg in Indy. Awesome. You wonder if Giannis exits Milwaukee with a short playoff run.

The Clips & Denver game is close though.

rhigh2390 · 04-19-2025, 05:03 PM

Westbrook would have 35000 points if he made all of his point blank layups in his career lol

Is this shocking?

Giannis had 2 starters score 0 points.

He's got a horrible squad. Absolutely he needs to get out.

drobfan8 · 04-19-2025, 05:34 PM

The Clips revealed who they are. A team that just doesn't want it enough.

Good win for the Nuggets.

rhigh2390 · 04-19-2025, 05:39 PM

That was a really good game. Westbrook had so many hero moment and Westbrook moments in the last 10 mins of game time lol
