NBA Official 2026 NBA Playoffs Thread

To not get any more momentum going into next season. There's a chance that, if they lose badly in the first round, next season the Hawks go back to being mediocre to bad. If they win a playoffs round and prove they are more than a hot streak, those chances decrease dramatically, imho.
 
I can’t believe the turnaround on these hawks… well I guess I can without Trae lol if that NOLA pick hits well this is gonna be a great lil squad to watch out east for a while

I don't see it, but okay.

They're getting a Top 10 pick to add to this team either way. They'll likely be as good or better next season and we'll get a pick in the balk half of the round. Not the end of the world.
 
Yeah this Wolves-Nuggets series is going to be short and a major letdown seen the state of Edwards & McDaniels..
 
I knew it and that is why we really should’ve stepped up in that last game to make Denver play OKC but it is what it is. Let’s get past Portland first.
It is what it is but I’d be lying if I said that loss isn’t bothering me more and more from what seeing. Path could have been so much easier. Nobody to blame but themselves!

Yes, we didn’t have Victor but those that played were asleep the whole night. But it’s one step at a time for this team. Can’t dwell on it.
 
Just from the energy of the crowd, motivation being down in the series Minnesota might get game 3. But that would be about it.

Yea...energy and motivation might work against weak team. But this healthy Denver with Joker and Murray peaking into form....I think is still a sweep
