The Covid title was arguably the hardest one to win in NBA history. Away from family, isolating, eating unaccustomed foods.

just imagine if all the teams had to go through it.

The second hardest title was probably the inaugural In-Season Tournament, hey?

Apropos of nothing, but it's been confirmed that it was Richard Jefferson who voted Sabonis for All-Defensive team.

I want what he's having.

Those eligible did and all found it taxing mentally and physically. No contact with family or friends.

No contact?

Reckon you are pulling something Peter.

They were locked at gunpoint in prison cells with their phones and other electronic devices confiscated?

 

[Memphis]

If they knew he’d end up at Boston I think they would’ve thought about it a little harder. He makes us better than Dame made them

100%

 

[Memphis]

1st Rd - No Butler
2nd Rd - No Mitchell/Allen
Conf Finals - No Hali
Finals - TBC

Softest chip ever

Jayson Tatum averaging 31ppg over the last 6 post-season games.

And yet the narrative around him is that he's 'not a real superstar'.

Make it make sense.

That isn’t the narrative at all, it’s simply he isn’t in the same tier as the top few but he often gets lumped in with them.

Almost Everyone acknowledges he’s a top 10 guy

They were physically unable to connect with loved ones and friends.

The last team to win both games 1/2 away and lose the series were the 2021 Dallas Mavericks to the Clippers. The Clippers won 2/3. Fun fact, in the deciding game in LA, Dallas registered only 1 block (Boban Marjanovic).

Have Dallas released fireworks pre game? Place is smoky

Mavs help defense and transition is on point.

Wolves looking like they about to get swept.

Celtics fans are gonna melt when Kyrie turns up for game 1.

Valid points. Will it matter though given boston will be so well rested.

As Conley heads to the rooms.

Ouch

KAT should get a T for that knee.

But won't.

 

[peternorth]

This is a Minny nightmare.

 

[peternorth]

Blake Lively to enter concussion protocols?

 

[Satan]

If it was jez cameron it would be play on

 

[peternorth]

Lively kneed in the nuts and now head

 

[peternorth]

If it was jez cameron it would be play on

Towns would be suspended, free kick against Richmond and a 50.

Doncic vs Golbert

spicy

 

[peternorth]

The margin's only 10 but seems like 20.

Dallas looking incredible again, Luka out here taking charges.

 

[Memphis]

Dallas looking incredible again, Luka out here taking charges.

He still looks like he is carrying an injury.
