NBA Official 2026 NBA Playoffs Thread

Closeout games are when final desperation sets in for the losing team. This is why they are never easy even for a veteran, championship team like the Celtics playing at home.
 
Does anyone know why Buddy Hield doesn't get playing time with the Hawks?

Figured they could use his 3 point shooting when main rotation doesn't have it.
 
So the WCF will be the "real" NBA finals....

I guess this will be the same for the next 5 years unless some major injuries happen to the West or the league finally awaken to change to 1 to 16 seeds
 
I mean KD probably wasn't wrong about Jabari tbh :st-lol:
I remember getting into it with someone here who said that Jabari Smith was an elite defender and worth $25 million a year.

I forgot who that was but I’ve been down here in H-Town the entirety of that bums career and been to plenty of Rockets games and I can say that dude sucks. And Houston is stuck with him and that shitty ass contract.
 
I'm still puzzled about noone giving Larry Bird shit for his EOTY award...after all it was the year he traded us Kawhi.
But yeah, I guess they just wanted the MVP/COTY/EOTY thing.
We saw Kawhi and PG teamed up together on the Paper Clips. They didn’t even make it past the second round never mind back to back ECFs like Bird did in 13,14.
