It's pretty cool that Dean is a starter and playing decently well.

I didn't know that he had to play with one of the Morris twins, tho.

When did he return? He’s been out injured for awhile.

two games ago

The Cleveland/Boston series was definitely the most boring one. But agree that Dean is great!

Going to be so wild to see how we remember Jokic in 10 years. Steph had worldwide influence by making kids start shooting from insane distances, Jokic very well could start an onslaught of chubby kids trying out basketball.

[pissclams]

minnesota gave it to denver tonight, pretty impressive
i’d love to see them advance

[chum1]

When their defense is on, they're so much fun to watch. And who doesn't love Ant?

He had a sequence of assists in three straight possessions last night that I won’t soon forget.

1. A lob (maybe a bounce pass) on a break for a slam.
2. A behind the back dish to an open three-point shooter who drained it.
3. Tipped himself the def board and in one motion threw a full court pass to the rim for another slam/layin.

Minn did work tonight tho

Me boys, I think the non-football Dallas sports team is going to do it again.

i’m disappointed by the knickerbockers’ play today.  all made worse by losing the series to the pacers. 

i never expected to be rooting for the wolves in late may, but here we are. 

[MakeItRain]

That's wolves nuggets game seven might have been the most improbable result I've seen in 40 years of watching the NBA

[Spracne]

How about the Mavs?

the best pacers team in history was in a video game (reggie miller and detlef schrempf).

For this I cannot argue.

Guys, the Pacers play Game 3 at home on Saturday…I’m already gonna get to Indy Saturday…

I’m really considering leaving earlier so I get there and can go!

[star seed 7]

Go for it, Indiana in the playoffs would be a fun crowd

[michigancat]

Yes and Indiana playoffs will be as cheap as it gets outside of maybe San Antonio

Go for it EMAWman.

It’s time to start always getting premium seats and making sure you’re on camera all the time in your EMAW gear

Someone explain to me why I love watching the NCAA tournament and can't be bothered to watch the NBA playoffs.

They take basketball seriously here. Even when the spurs suck they pack the arena. It’s the only pro team in town so it’s a big deal.

I think it's mostly single elimination vs series makes Cinderellas possible in one and improbable in the other, and that is like 90% of why anyone watches the tournament vs playoffs. People crave underdog stories and big teams falling flat on their face against teams absolutely thrilled to be there.

[pissclams]

hard to believe that the pacers didn’t foul at the end of regulation.  great game ruined by a boston win.

Yeah but still gonna be dirt cheap compared to everyone else

That was about the fifth worst thing they did at the end of regulation. Shame because they were doing great

[chum1]

What a choke job by Indiana.

[waks]

that was some very bad, frustrating basketball
