As a Dubs fan, I want to see my team make it to the Finals and win it all.

But if I had to choose a non-Dubs finals match-up, it'd be OKC-Cavs. Battle of the youth, I'd be all for it.

I'd rather talk about the Warriors and Steph Curry who probably has had more impact on the game the last 15 years than anyone else.

Because everyone hates the NBA and the three point explosion?

I’m looking forward to Detroit/New York tonight. I hope the pistons can get this one at home. A game 7 at MSG would be fantastic. It’s been a physical series. Reminiscent of the early 90s. Very entertaining.

People love to gloss over the fact that Jordan had 3 years away from the NBA and came back and played that well.

The moves and smarts were there. His body wasn't.

I wish Jordan never retired those 2 times. We lost 4 or 5 elite seasons of MJ. He may habe gotten another title or 2. We would have definitely got a bunch more highlights.

Who is everybody? Casual ticktock fans and 90s diehards?

I love the mix of 3s and in-the-paint action on the best teams. As a Pacers fan this year, I have never been disappointed.

I actually think the Pistons win tonight.

I sure hope so. The Knicks have played much better on the road this series so who knows.

I personally believe the Nuggets can make a real statement tonight if they win and play well. Don't let the Clips hang around.

I'm going to enjoy the rest of that series whether it ends tonight or goes 7, but I'm really looking forward to next round to whoever plays OKC. Either team is going to be more experienced than OKC, so it will be a true battle of youth vs experience. We will get a first glance at seeing if OKC is for real this year.

I am actually torn on Detroit/Knicks, as I think any Pacers or Cavs fan should be.

Knicks close it out and have a semblance of rest before the playoffs against Cancuned Celtics. Some smidgen of hope of a valiant and wearing 6 or 7 game effort.

Detroit think out-physical Boston is their only slight chance. Their passing through would measurably increase the wear-and-tear factor on Celtics, making ECF winnable.

Worst case scenario, Knicks close the series in 7.

You’re overlooking the Cavs, my friend. Do that at your own peril

I said any Pacers or Cavs fan. They both want either a relatively fresh Knicks or a gritty young Detroit against a rested Boston.

One or the other will face the Celtics, right?

Personally I am rooting for Detroit. I think they will be a thorn in Boston's side.

Oh yeah. I guess I just assumed you were thinking of the Pacers. I mean, you can’t really fault me for that…ha!

Looks like it will be Detroit anyway. Knicks can't hold down a 15 point lead in first, doing a Bucks.

Wow. what a finish. Was gonna admit I spoke too soon...

Who knew the Thompson Twins would both be in the playoffs before Wemby.

So much riding on that last basket for Brunson investors. Clutch gene!

Haven't watched nba in years. This Jalen Brunson guy is pretty good.

Tough loss for the Pistons. Hopefully they’ll learn something from this. They exceeded expectations this year. Fun team to watch too
