2026 NBA Playoffs Thread

playoffs are so crazy

Indeed.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Indeed.

do you want the pistons to win or do think they're gonna win - because i don't want the pistons to win but i think they're going to

i also think okc might sweep san antonio - jalen williams is supposed to be healthy now

I’m thinking the pistons wins due to Cleveland’s post season road record. I’m not sure who I want to win.

Ditto on the Thunder sweeping the Spurs.

2017 warriors went undefeated in the western playoffs and didn't lose until game 4 of the finals aagainst cleveland - warriors finished 16-1 for the post season

if okc can sweep the spurs they might maybe could be the first

Don’t forget about the 2002 (?) Lakers. ;-)
Allen Iverson handed the Lakers their lone loss in the postseason.

Why is he talking so much?

 

[Mainstreet]

I've generally had a lack of interest in following the playoffs with the games being televised on select channels.

If this is the direction of sports, some fans may choose not to follow. I'm leaning that direction.

IMHO, the game will suffer if it becomes about chasing the almighty dollar.

Having Williams back helps, that’s true.

But I don’t think there’s a universe where we sweep SA.

I’m terrified of them tbh.

Last time I can remember a heavyweight showdown like this, with both teams completely healthy was probably the 2016 Finals.

But these are the best two teams. Bar none. Have been all season. They have the two biggest stars. The most athletes. The freshest faces in the league. I’m pretty excited.

If anyone can, it's the Thunder. They have been nothing short of a machine.

I think people are forgetting how San Antonio showed up the Thunder during the NBA Cup and proved OKC were mere mortals. That's when OKC's season went from historic to good.

I believe the Thunder win, health permitting, but it'll be a great series where experience will give OKC the advantage.

 

[Russ Smith]

im wondering which harden shows up

The one that's falling down everytime he shoots probably.

Great offensive player but man sometimes it is so hard to watch him play

 

[Russ Smith]

I wonder too. Harden was fine in Game 6. Mitchell was a no show

I think Mitchell has a right hand injury. I've noticed in a couple of the games he's shaking his right hand like it's bothering him. Didn't stop him game 5 of course but I don't think he's fully healthy.

Dan Gilbert and the @cavs went BIG for tonight’s Game 7 in Detroit. Similar to Game 5 when they took eight busloads of season ticket holders up to Detroit for the game, today they’re bringing up 25 busloads of #Cavs fans, with all expenses covered for Game 7. Yes, TWENTY-FIVE!

Totally have seen Booker have this happen to him when he's been too big of a dick to a ref.

Jalen Williams is listed as available for Game 1 of OKC’s Western Conference Finals matchup with the Spurs on Monday, the team announced. Williams has been out since April 22 due to a hamstring strain.

 

[Russ Smith]

They gotta get better refs. It's game 7. The opening tip the ref quick pitched the players weren't ready and he threw the ball up, Cleveland got it but both allen and Duren weren't ready for the toss.

Duren just got a putback on replay he 2 hand shoves Allen out of the way to get the ball. Atkission called timout and came running out on the court going after the ref who clearly knew he'd missed it because he didn't T up the coach.

 

[Russ Smith]

Wow Cleveland my goodness. 3 times in the first quarter they had to chuck up a 3 to beat the clock. Merrill made a double clutch 3, Mobley made a quick release 3, and Mitchell banked in a 3 from the logo to beat the end of the quarter.

 

[Russ Smith]

Detroit just getting killed.

They can't guard Mitchell he's setting up one dunk after another on drives
