Play Nice The Bigfooty Official 2026 NBA Playoffs Thread

[Sonny Hayes]

I am glad Luka and Cade will get All NBA honours as I’m a huge fan but what a joke of a system.

Have a set number of games that need to be reached. But just give it to people just under anyway? Like Cade was just an injury, can’t even claim it was anything out of the norm.

If you want to make the number lower do it, but it’s just needlessly convoluted. Sports leagues seem to love that

I’m shocked the TWolves are $3.50 to win the series. Would’ve thought $2.50 was more appropriate especially with Watson still injured

A lot of people still think the Nuggets will chip.

Orlando had a better rating with Banchero off the floor then on it during the season which is insane to think about

Not that you can or would trade him but guys gotta put in the work this off season and figure it out. Otherwise he is the next Zion

If it happens 3 years in a row with Magic floundering at .500 and the franchise guy a net negative, well CJ McCollum might be available for trade again.

Why am I watching women’s softball instead of the nba playoffs ?

Not shown anywhere from what I can see

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Oh it’s on Amazon Prime

 

[srobbo]

Wake up Charlotte or this could be over quickly

 

[Scythe]

Guess this cursed Orlando season will continue for another week or two

Still, fun to burst the Charlotte bubble

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Orlando bringing the defense finally.

Charlotte need to move past Miles Bridges if they wanna take the next step

 

[srobbo]

What a fizzer. Not a yelp Charlotte….ironic Melo’s done zip, given he shouldn’t be playing anyway.

 

[srobbo]

Now the Suns are off to a flyer. Play in 1st round losers have come back with a veangence

 

[NSWCROW]

****en inject the Hornets MAGIC into my veins

FTFM

Looks like Kon 'Curry' Knueppel hit the wall towards the end of the season. While Flagg's teammates were feeding him the rock Bam style.

I just realised both ROY candidates are white. We live in strange times.

Jalen Green and Brooks doing one on the Dubs was frustrating given how putrid both were against them in playoffs last year.
