NBA Official 2026 NBA Playoffs Thread

Curry really needed a youthful star player teammate like how Duncan had Parker and then Leonard. Getting Jimmy Buckets wasn’t it and then getting the injury prone Giannis will also not be it.
 
Some were so afraid to play the Clippers but they let this trash ass Dubs team look better than they did and beat them.
:LOL:
 
If the Suns can consistently get this version of Jalen Green against the Thunder they can win a few games tbh. Problem is he'll prolly disappear the next 3-4 games.
 
I'm no professional lip-reader, but I'm pretty sure Draymond got ejected for repeatedly calling Book a "pussy ass n*gga" :st-lol:
 
His body is completely toast.

He's under contract for next season - think he takes a retirement tour and calls it.
Agreed. He's due $60M next season, no way he's walking away from that. He and Lebron likely both have retirement tours next year and call it a career imo. I think Lebron goes back to CLE for his.
 
Tbf to Draymond, Booker does seem annoying
Book is a front-runner. Always has been. CP carried him to a Finals. KD carried him to a 6 game series against the champ Nuggets. Not a difference maker as the best player on his team.
 
Dubs got their storybook ending in ‘22 just like Timmy got his in ‘14.

No shame in dynasties eventually flaming out tbh.
Yeah, pretty much. They had their chance to replenish and managed to whiff on Wiseman, Kuminga, and to a lesser extent Moody.

It's kind of bittersweet to see Curry near the end. I like him more than guys like Durant and the unwatchable Harden. He's legitimately great, though his teams were a pain in the ass. Far better than the fugazy Shai.

Just one of the SoCal radio talking heads but they think Lebron will go to the Golden Flamers on a discounted deal.

Simmons thinks LeBron may wind up in GS. I'd love to watch that trash fire and maybe send them packing in a first round series.

Durant did hand him two titles. But I'm a KD apologist/fan (don't kill me).

Curry was/is unreal. I have him above Durant, don't get me wrong. Their win over the Clippers made me smile as a basketball fan.

At the same time I'm so sick of this Warriors iteration and want it to end. I'm not going to tear up warching them flame out into the sunset.

Is golden state still way way ahead of the rest of the nba?
Golden State’s ‘light‑years’ culture blew through premium assets like it was nothing. Imagine the Duncan era if the Spurs had a Wiseman‑level top‑3 big, a Kawhi‑caliber wing, and a Jordan Poole‑type scorer… and then got zero development out of any of them. That’s what the Warriors did.

They turned the 2nd, 7th, 14th, and 28th picks into almost nothing. Wiseman never developed. Kerr played macho mind games with Kuminga. Draymond literally knocked out the only young guy producing. And they were left clinging to Moses Moody like he was a life raft.

This is what happens when your ‘dynasty culture’ becomes toxic. The pipeline dries up, the young talent walks, and the guy who once bragged about being ‘light years ahead’ quietly exits the building.

Lol Kerr preferring TOSBs. Loving Podz over Kuminga, Sound familiar?
 
Prime did not do the replay at all.
WTH was Donkeys arm swat of Booker all about?
