2024-25 NBA Thread: New Pope shocks world in opening statement by asking why Bulls gave Patrick Williams all that money (178 Viewers)

[Yo Mama]

Must be exciting for Celtics fans to finally get to see some of the opposing teams’ best players in this year’s playoffs.

"The 3rd period was all Knicks"
-Reggie Miller

But not really, the Celtics were up 20 at one point in the 3rd, they were killing the Knicks until they weren't
Still up 9, I wouldn't describe the 3rd period as all Knicks

 

[msudaisy26]

This game is getting good.

 

[identikit]

Knicks making a game out of it

 

[GOB]

How do we not have an obnoxious Knicks fan in here? And we have an Indy fan somewhere, don't we?

Wasn’t that one virgin guy an Indy fan?

You're going to have to be way more specific

 

[Ministry of Pain]

KAT at the rack...NOPE!


Al Horford still got it

 

[TLEF316]

Towns has gotten absolutely smothered at the rim like 5x. Brutal

 

[identikit]

Come on Knicks..

Win this thing....

Larryboy?

Celtics have chucked 53 3 point shots & made 13, are you kidding me. Pathetic

 

[msudaisy26]

Brunson so good

Del Curry?

Why is it better to shoot a 3 late in the game tied 100-100?
Why not go to the rim and maybe draw a foul?
I don't understand why you want to shoot a 3 falling away from the basket

 

[irish eyes]

Keep taking 3s Boston, hilarious. Not even trying anything else.

 

[identikit]

Almost had the game-winner

Oy

I can't believe it didn't fall.

It is the Celtic way. They won a title, been to another finals and been to several conference finals. It seems to work more often than not.

 

[mr. furley]

45 missed threes

 

[identikit]

Another great game!

 

[irish eyes]

You can just put all 5 of your defenders at 3 point line against Boston. They don't even try to score inside, even when it's open. It's comical.

 

[Capella]

45 missed threes

15/60

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I can't believe the Knicks are gonna win this game
Celtics are gonna shank another 3 to add to the total

 

[identikit]

Gutsy win for the Knicks vs the Boston Triplets

 

[Capella]

Guess I gotta change that thread title

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Knicks vs Pacers in the East?
Reggie Miller on the call for all the games?

Yeah, I don't think he watches the Celtics much. It's infuriating though if you're new to the team.

Nope Knicks bullied the the Celtic player on last play and just ripped ball out of his hands lol

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Bridges made that steal in his 51st minute on the court.

 

[The Big Donkey]

Knicks needed that one. Celtics won't miss 45 3's again.

 

[Sammy3469]

Bridges made that steal in his 51st minute on the court.

I don’t really understand how he knew the ball was there. Just incredible defensive sense.

He’s literally running with his back to the ball the entire time.

 

[Gr00vus]

You just need to add "again" at the end.

Pistons series toughened them up.

 

[msudaisy26]

Jamal Murray might have woken up. If so the Nuggets are live.

 

[Moe.]

This is gonna be a great series. SGA looks like himself again which is a relief, he wasn’t very good against Memphis.

Yep, people can't stop talking about those several conference finals. At Cheers.

Let's go Sonics!

Will they miss 55 then?

 

[Desert_Power]

What an atrocious uniform package the NBA is rolling out in this game. The OKC uniforms may be the worst of all time.

No team in the league needs a complete redo of all their art more than OKC

Can I interest you in a space needle?

Jokes aside, this is awful.

They’ll be back eventually.

OKC has had some cool alternate jerseys, this one is my favorite. But the regular logo and stuff is just so bland. It felt like a placeholder when the team first moved and they’ve just kept it.

 

[Kev4029]

OKC is really good.

 

[Moe.]

really enjoy watching these two teams play

 

[Kev4029]

The Nuggets can't keep up with this effort and pace from OKC. The whole ****ing team flies around, its incredible.

If the tertiary Nuggets don't start hitting jumpers, this series is over. There are a lot of plays where five Thunderers have a foot in the paint - they are daring everybody to shoot.

 

[AAABatteries]

Was Porter high during the first half? Not even talking about his horrible shooting but staring at the ball twice without going and getting it. Horrible.

 

[Jayrod]

Nice record setting night by Boston.

Tatum played like absolute garbage and Brown wasn't much better. Jrue Holiday and Horford gave Boston a chance to win it and the 2 stars puked on themselves.

They missed a lot of open looks but forced some bad shots as well.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

What’s with the refs waiting to see if the shot goes in before blowing the whistle half the time? Seems rampant
