2025 Playoffs Chat & Chill Thread

Choke job after choke job. OKC was out of their minds for fouling up 3 with that much time left and Jokic stuck on the sidelines. Critical coaching error.
 
I felt like OKC's head coach made a lot of really stupid decisions to lose them the Mavs series last year by trying to be way too cute, and he opened up Round 2 this year doing the same thing.

Like damn man, stop trying to make the 9000 IQ move and just let your team win.
 
Thunder spent the season blowing good teams out in the 4th quarter, even when they played with their food much of the game. But playoffs are a different animal. (Kind of weird mixing of metaphors here)
This is why I have a tough time taking teams seriously that blow out others in the regular season (and haven't proven anything in the playoffs). I distinctly remember in 2010-2011 that the Mavericks played in a ton of close games and were dominant in them and that dominance obviously bore out.

Don't disagree, but we still have a long way to go before we know if this game is an anomaly or a harbinger.
 
Choke Holmgren.

If OKC loses this series, that sequence (game-losing FTs, followed by getting splashed in the face by a game winner) will follow him for his entire career.
 
OG, Bridges, hart and brunson are pretty good defenders. Those 3 have a combined 10/41 3pt shots.
Sure but I watched the game. Watched them miss many open looks

Jazz a few years back too
 
I wish I would have posted my first round predictions cause I killed it.
Anyway here are my second round predictions:
OKC wins in 6
Minnesota wins in 6 (had a hard time deciding between 6 or 7 games here. Jimmy might give Ant trouble.)
Cleveland in 7 (I had cleveland in 7 before the pacers game 1 win and I still think cavs in 7)
Boston in 6

Then I got boston in 7 over the cavs and OKC in 6 over the T-wolves.
Celtics vs OKC finals. OKC in 7 (or 6. Im really high on OKC)
Masterclass jinxing
