The 2025 NBA playoffs

[Dback Jon]

Westbrook gets away with stepping out of bounds and then the refs don’t call a travel and then he gets a foul call and two free throws

Kawhi really is something else when healthy.

 

[Hoop Head]

Powell with a huge 3. If Kawhi can stay healthy I'd love to see the Clippers advance.

 

[Dback Jon]

What a good game

What a good game

This might wind up being the most entertaining series of the entire playoffs. We shall see.

Kawhi looking like he did in 2019 on the Raptors. He had one of the greatest post seasons in all of NBA history that year.

Kawhi really is something else when healthy.

He was destroying us in the playoffs before getting injured. He might be the third best forward all time at his peak.

 

[Phrazbit]

And he has that ugly drive that got blocked this quarter too.

He shot out of the gate with 19 in the first half. And a big fat 0 goose egg in the 2nd half.

I really fear a Bridges package is what’s coming back for KD and that will just make me vomit.

I doubt it. They have hardly any draft picks after dumping them all for Bridges and, more relevant, that would be a level of humiliation and admission of total failure that I don't think Ishbia would debase himself to.

Kawhi really is something else when healthy.

the thing with him is his transformation was insane. I saw him in HS and he was a center, had no range at all. He was in the same class as the Wear twins, Brendan Lane and Derrick Williams all were rated ahead of him. I knew Williams was good I had seen him, I knew the twins were massively overrated but I had no idea how good Kawhi would end up. He had no offense at all but dunks. To become the ball handler and shooter he is now is amazing, work ethic and coaching by the Spurs staff

healthy kawhi vs coachless nuggets

damn good series

A good exec makes decisions with as little ego as possible. We don’t know what we have in ish in that regard yet. That said, I don’t the Knicks have the gunpowder to get a deal done. Bridges alone wouldn’t suffice at this point.

I really hope you’re right.

Larry Legend.

Larry Legend.

Yeah, I'd agree. If you count Duncan as a forward then he is up there too.

Two minutes in and it is only 1-0 OKC

Shai definitely deserves the MVP. What the Thunder have done with Chet missing more than half the season is remarkable.
