Towns!!!!

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Ridiculous shot by Towns.

 

[msudaisy26]

Isn't Scott Foster known as The Extender?

I thought he just hated Chris Paul, which is understandable.

 

[msudaisy26]

The defense by the Knicks has been amazing.

 

[The General]

Knicks showing moxie!

Playing for their survival

The defense by the Knicks has been amazing.

Something like 34-13 on this run since about 3:00 left in the 3rd
Pretty incredible, they looked like they were on life support prior to that

 

[ChiefD]

NBA = NFL

Both are jokes.

 

[The General]

Let’s get OT!!

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Siakam blocked that, looked like all ball

 

[The General]

Hart is one of those dudes you love having on the squad.

 

[Redwes25]

How is that a foul by bridges

 

[Jayrod]

How is that a foul by bridges

SVG was shocked on that call.

 

[mr. furley]

is there a guy holding a motorcycle helmet sitting courtside or am i hallucinating?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Can the Knicks knock down their free throws?
Will they leave the door open for the Pacers to try a game tying 3?

 

[identikit]

Gutsy win by the Knicks

 

[msudaisy26]

Was I being silly thinking the Pacers could make the NBA Finals?

Why because they lost a game in thre conference finals?

 

[Jayrod]

It's a race car driver helmet. He's dressed in a driver's suit also. You know, Pacers, Indy 500, etc.

 

[Redwes25]

Big win boys!!

 

[Jayrod]

We have a series!

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Can't wait to hear Sir Charles after this
Guess he can look forward to some more NY street meat for Game 5

 

[The General]

Gutsy win by the Knicks

Seriously. They were dead to rights.

In hindsight, the Pacers' wins were kind of flukey albeit fun to watch. If Knicks could do what they did tonight, they can certainly win 1 more game on the road and then it's just about protecting home court.

Pacers are mid I guess. Knicks will draw better ratings. Those celebrities are going to be so smug. Pacers weren't winning games against the Knicks because they were the better team, they were stealing games and that may have only emboldened the Knicks.

Game #2 was not a fluky win

I don't think the Knicks are going to lose another game in this series.

You're all over the place, chief

Game 1 Pacers stole but in game 2 they definitely out played Knicks to win that one.

 

[identikit]

That was some dead KAT bounce by the Knicks

 

[General Malaise]

Eminence just can't help himself.

yeah, i don't follow car racing at all

We are definitely not watching the same games, maybe even sport.

But, but the pairadime has shifted!!

 

[Harry Frogfish]

Just wanted to pop my head in to see if you guys aren't inside on your NBA/Xbox's watching a forgone conclusion. And instead, outdoors celebrating a glorious Memorial Day with friends and family. Which looks to be the case so, fantastic!

I mean, god bless anyone having to spend hours of this day hearing Doris Burke pontificate.

 

[msudaisy26]

Pacers blowing it.

What game are you watching?

The Pacers were up by as much as 20 points and ended up losing by 6. I made my comment after the lead had been cut in half.

Maybe we are watching a different game or sport?

But you are all over the map. Pacers up 20 and give up a 7 - 0 run and they are blowing it, Pacers lose a game and they never had a chance. When OKC lost by 40 the other night did you think they should fold the franchise and have all their players become free agents?

 

[General Malaise]

it's a put on

Pat Beverley at tonight's game!!!

[Fruitbat]

Go wolves!

 

[Desert_Power]

Going with the white out when other team is the one wearing white is something...

 

[identikit]

OKC defense starting to assert itself

 

[identikit]

Trying out the ESPN Insightcast tonight

Burke wears on me

 

[identikit]

Go-Burt doing his usual part tonight

Like a man!!!

 

[the moops]

That SGA using his off arm to grab the defenders arm as he pulls up for an unnatural mid range jumper as he flails to the ground is the worst ****ing play in the NBA. Complete weak ********. SGA is so damn good, he should just tell Gobert to **** off and get a basket over him like a man

 

[Zow]

Minnesota shot well, Edwards only took two shots, good rebounding, too many turnovers.

Odd half. I guess I’ll take down 8 knowing Edwards is likely to turn it on.

 

[Jayrod]

Minny's role players stepping up while ANT & Randle are struggling to get going.

Meanwhile SGA making everything he pukes up at the rim.

 

[Major]

Chet is a lot better than I thought he was going to be going into the draft. I was thrilled OKC drafted him before Houston. Still the injury concerns but his game is nice and not nearly the p*ssy I thought he'd be

 

[Zow]

Both teams played really well tonight. Can’t even be too upset right now.

 

[Jayrod]

Both teams played really well tonight. Can’t even be too upset right now.

Turnovers and offensive rebounds have killed Minnesota. OKC has taken 14 more FGs.

 

[Zow]

wtf are they doing? They gotta review this. There’s more time.

 

[Frostillicus]

Them Thunder are a damn fine team. They made every play and hit every shot down the stretch.

 

[scoobus]

Man Jalen Williams and NAW played out of their minds tonight. I thought we'd see more Hartenstein this series for rebounding but OKC seems to prefer having the spacing. ANT seemed a little bit passive but overall I thought was trying to make the rights plays and was still pushing to get into the lane, Randle on the other hand seemed totally thrown off with the swarming defense, in particular when they started with Caruso on him. Kinda seems like the TWolves let one slip away with all the bench guys having such great games, but credit to OKC who made play after play down the stretch.

Can't really argue with any of this.

I woke up feeling fine and relatively resigned to the notion that the Thunder are the best team by far this year and if the Wolves aren't going to win it then I'm glad for the Thunder if they do.
