2026 NBA Playoffs Thread

I hate that several OKC players are shameless in their flopping and baiting b/c they don’t need to do it. They could be a dynasty without that crap and play a likable brand of basketball. I see incredible ball movement on offense plus elite defense then they do some crap that turns me off.

Agreed. That's how I felt about Detroit in the Bad Boy era. The NBA at the HQ level needs to recalibrate what the competition needs to look like.

OKC is pathetic. Grow up. Go Spurs.

FTA sucks. Wear braces on your knees man so you can stay upright.

It really seemed like if guys fell down back in the old days, refs would just ignore it. The other team would take advantage of it, and so guys stayed upright. Now the refs are rewarding them for falling. It's unfortunate someone got hurt when they landed on a guy's foot on a jump shot, but ever since they passed that rule, flopping has risen to a new level. They maybe need to look at the rule.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell has been ruled out for Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs with a right calf strain.

Knicks are so locked in right now looking like they will go up 3-0.

Crazy after the Kings imploded their roster I wondered if Mike Brown would get another shot and here he is about to be coaching in the NBA finals.

This Cavs team reminds me of the Suns from a few years ago. No communication, no urgency, Harden mentally checked out half an hour ago.

knicks really trying to sweep cleveland - 5 bucks says lebron's in los angeles smiling his ass off - you can smell the cigar smoke

I wouldn’t trade Grayson Allen for James Harden. Dude is completely worthless and a cancer

I wasn't alone noticing James taking the night off.

What if Harden is injured, etc. Maybe he's doing his best just to be on the floor?

Hard to give him the benefit of the doubt when this has been par for the course for years.

It's not like he's struggling to stay with the play, instead he's just standing there defending no one. Not paying any attention to his assignment.

Chet intentionally stepping on Wemby's foot and Hartlestein doing whatever. I used to like OKC. Rooted for them in last years playoffs, but now I want to see them lose. Don't reward this type of play. Go Spurs!

[Carolinacacti]

Can't hate the Spurs but there fans? Dislike

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Booker played some horrible defense at times but never Harden bad.

Harden has been better than Book the last two regular seasons. For whatever reason Harden implodes in May.
