NBA Official 2026 NBA Playoffs Thread

The Magic can win the series if they don't self-sabotage. They honestly look like the more talented team. Detroit 'bad boys' gimmick won't work against a team as big and physical as they are.
 
Probably a mild sprain but SGA fell to the ground a few plays ago and his fingers hyperextended while he was bracing for the fall.
 
Suns, lol, careless with the rebound after JWill missed FT and Caruso steals and passes to SGA for layup...
 
Suns' coach needs to expand his rotation especially since they are clearly overmatched in this series. See if you can find a microwave each game from someone not in your top 9.
 
After that botched open layup by Oso Ighodaro, he has no business playing rest of the series...
 
Spurs looking bad. Their lack of a half court offense is hurting them here...
Translates to the lack of creativity from the coaching staff. Who IS the whole coaching staff? They need to get together and craft a game plan on offense.

Kornet - dude he gets the ball and stands to hand it off like a Hot potato - will not shoot a midrange shot at all ( I’m sure other teams see this).

Castle - he bull rushes the paint and throws himself around granted some fouls should’ve been called. This is the identity he’s developing for himself and the refs will put him on ignore.

Fox - when he is struggling and dragging the team down, Mitch will just ride with him (because he’s a vet?). Pull him and give Harper more PT. On the plus side he is the only one with a midrange shot that I can see. Everyone else is pretty much 3 pointers outside of the obvious alley oop or layup.

Keldon - always tries to position himself for that little right jump hook of his. I’ll have to see if he goes left at all.

I point these things out and yet wonder if the coaching staff says anything at all about these details.

Overall - no motion on offense - everyone stands at the 3 or line and watch Wemby.

On defense - guard your man and stop with the double team and then scramble to the corner with the”hope” defense (as in hope the guy misses the open 3).

I had Spurs in 5 before the series started.
NOW - Spurs in 6
 
These OKC ball movement is impeccable.

They always pass for open guys. Spurs talk a lot about family culture, just to not pass at all.
 
Okc doesn’t move me at all. If our team decides it wants to win this round we should be able to win it all
I have no doubt we will win this series. Its better we had Wemby injury now so that he will be careful in taking care of his body moving forward.

Worried about our matchup with DEN or MIN.

OKC moves the ball and finds open receivers. But their shooters suck some games and if SGA dont get whistle we win…
