The 2025 NBA Finals Thread

Cleveland might be cooked for the playoffs

Halliburton just stuck a stake in their heart.

Halliburton… ugh… such the OBVIOUS pick in 2020.

James jones couldn’t have blown it any harder when he passed on Haliburton.

OG Borg for the Borg.

That one is ALL on James jones. Worst move in his tenure.

The second round has been incredible so far.

There’s just been a bunch of great games throughout the entire playoffs.

But Jalen Smith - a skinny center was there!!

 

[Dback Jon]

Curry out for the rest of the game

 

[Proximo]

I haven’t seen an offensive performance this bad since the last suns elimination game.

 

[Dback Jon]

Edwards has to make at least one bucket in the second half doesn’t he??

 

[Cheesebeef]

Curry out for the rest of the game

Damn… what happened to him?

 

[ProdigalSun]

Damn… what happened to him?

Hamstring strain… thats gonna take awhile to heal…

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

wow - more like minnesucka

 

[Proximo]

Anthony Edward’s looks like he forgot how to shoot. He’s been abysmal.

I think they might still be Ofer from 3. I really don’t get the wolves they are like the highest variance team in the league.

Hamstring strain… thats gonna take awhile to heal…

Damn… we’ve reached the war of attrition phase of the playoffs.

 

[Dback Jon]

Warriors don’t seem to be missing him

Just stopping by to say that I've been a Pacers fan almost as long as I've been a Cards fan. I go back to the ABA days - the RWB ball, Darnell Hillman, Billy Keller, et al.

Amazing win tonight. One of the craziest endings I've seen in a long time.

 

[ProdigalSun]

hard to see a path to winning this series without Curry

 

[Dback Jon]

hard to see a path to winning this series without Curry

They do have Butler

 

[Dback Jon]

5 fouls on Green. With a little extra shove

 

[Dback Jon]

Hield on fire

 

[Russ Smith]

10 hour drive to Oregon saw Curry get hurt went to eat came back stunned we're still ahead.

As the Minnesota run happens I'm yelling put Looney in I'm tired of Edwards getting layups. Looney comes in immediately flips the game with both offense rebounds and defending the rim. I know he's old, can't jump and is undersized but the man knows how to play playoff basketball, Post doesn't.

Some nice minutes from Kuminga 7 in 13 minutes hopefully a trend.

I see no way we can win the series without Steph and I think it's highly unlikely he can play until game 6 or 7 if even then with a hammy tweak but I'm not giving up.

This would be a huge one to steal game 1 on the road with Steph out

 

[Russ Smith]

I know I'm biased but that was amazing. Short break between series, on the road, Steph goes down and they still win.

Buddy started the year on a heater, had several big games and then for most of the season was just useless. Butler came in and started to take Buddy under his wing so to speak encouraging him to take the shot and doing it with humor "tell Buddy to stop dribbling" and when we needed him the most Buddy comes up huge in game 7 and then huge in game 1 and was also huge in the game where Butler got hurt against houston too.

No expectation beyond game 1 but that was fun to watch them pull it out without Steph

 

[95pro]

Wolves a bit too long of a rest compared to the warriors who just got done playing.

I don’t see the warriors sustaining this tho.

 

[Hoop Head]

But Jalen Smith - a skinny center was there!!

Even worse, the Suns were committed to using him as a stretch 4 instead of a small ball 5 so he was an awful pick. Had they used him as a Center then he would have kept some value for us.

 

[Hoop Head]

Can't believe Indiana is up 2-0. I was looking forward the Celtics/Cavs Eastern Conference Finals and figured that New York would be the tougher out for whoever faced them. Haliburton is having a run like Brunson did last year though. Pacers are hot at the right time.
