I’ve been to 2 NBA games in my lifetime, 28 years apart. Both were amazing experiences.

Here is a photo of the second one. 2019, Thunder at Pacers. Our seats were row 13, half court. And I didn’t pay for them!

^ between that and Jamal's buzzer beater, yesterday we had 2 insane ending...and its only 2 games!

For the Lakers vs Nuggets...

I dont know how or what the Lakers could do anymore to beat the Nuggets.... yesterday they had stellar defense (in the first half at least), AD got it going, D-Lo got it going, they knocked down their 3s, and even LeBron gave everything he had (both offensively and defensively), in short....the Lakers threw all they had at the Nuggets, and they still lost!

And it is their 10 straight losses against the Nuggets...thats insane!!

At this point, the only way the Lakers could win this series is if they broke into Jokic's or Jamal's house before game 3, break their fingers, injured them so they can't play the rest of the series. Lol. Otherwise, I really can't see they beat this Nuggets team, especially after that game 2 loss.

Stephen A Smith a loyal Knicks fan is realistic that a great Knicks team reaches the Eastern Conference finals aka the third round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. That's if the Knicks don't choke in the 1st round or second round.
I do want the Knicks to make it to the 3rd round or the NBA FInals to see Stephen's joyful reaction since the Knicks gave him great joy by not disappointing him in the Playoffs.

It's a must-win game for the 76ers tonight vs the Knicks which realistically can happen.
I'm still expecting a great Knicks team to win this series. They have more talented players, the Home Court Advantage, and in this era Knicks team have more playoff experience so they can close in close games.

Time to see if the Suns can succeed in winning a critical game 3.

that's a nope lol

A classic tale of star players getting beat by a team with an identity.

The Knicks fans are highly disappointed tonight because of an entertaining failure to defend a lead in a competitive game late in the 4th Quarter, and the 76ers outplayed them in Overtime.
So kudos to the 76ers for winning a challenging game 5 in the Garden.

The Knicks will need win a challenging game 6 in Philadelphia vs a fearless 76ers team. That's why Knicks fans most likely are fearful of a disappointing outcome in this challenging game 6 after the choke job late in game 5.

The Thunder have a realistic chance of returning to the NBA Finals.

Yeah, the Knicks gave away that one.

Easier said than done i know but all they had to was to hound Maxey the way Brunson was hounded on his last attempt at a 3 pointer

Glad to see the Celtics deal with the Heat without the series getting unnecessarily extended longer than need be. I'll give them the one loss, I was fully expecting it, but anything more than 5 would've been a fail.

The Porzingis injury blows, but that was always the risk. Not sure they'll need him to get out of the East, but it just makes the road a little bit harder.

Also happy to see Mike Gorman's last game being a playoff win. His voice will be missed on the local broadcasts. Hell of a career, and wish him the best of retirements.

NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 6s

Bucks at Pacers
The Pacers have the edge because it's Indiana which will be loud, and they do have the lead. The Bucks have a realistic chance of avoiding elimination if they can keep it a close game, and can make critical baskets.
The Bucks haven't shown the ability to make great comebacks like the Nuggets so it's a high bar task to comeback if they are down by 12 points or more in Indiana.

Knicks at 76ers
The pressure is on the Knicks to win this challenging game 6 in Philadelphia after failing to close in a critical game 5 at MSG. The Knicks do have a realistic chance of winning what is most likely a thrilling competitive game if they make less mistakes, and can make critical baskets including the 4th Quarter.
While the Knicks could win the challenging game 7 in New York City, however they want to avoid just hoping they win the challenging game 7 after losing 2 consecutive games to the fearless 76ers.

Well pressure on the Knicks to close in the 4th Quarter.

Knicks did it. Brunson with another great game.

Next up Ind @ NY

Well, I'm not surprised a great Knicks team eliminated the 76ers because the Knicks have a better roster so the 76ers having grit, and fearlessness can only go so far vs a team that is better according to roster and has more playoff experience.
Kudos to the Knicks for finding a way to close in a challenging game 6.

The Knicks will be facing a playing great Pacers team.

As a Bulls fan and Lakers fan, I'm very happy that the Knicks are playing up to their potential, and possibly could prove Stephen A Smith right about his realistic prediction that is they make it to the Third Round.

Siakam will determine who wins that matchup.

Knicks don't have anyone that can match his size and speed
