The Indy Talks To Himself (NBA) Thread.

Meh. Those records don't mean much to me unless we dive into the games. SoS could affect what those records mean.

Durant won less than 50 games a number of times in OKC. And it's not like we've really had an opportunity to judge whether your statement is true since he left for GS.

The Thunder were really bad until they drafted the other young guys (Russ, Harden, etc.). The didn't jump to 50 wins until after that happened.

 

So I guess some people think we are getting the 2 best teams in the NBA matched up in round 2 with Bucks/Celtics.

 

To be fair, Russ's injuries are much easier to remember because his team mattered

 

Defending champs with the best player vs. the best defense and best team this calendar year. Hope it lives up to the hype

 

So much puckerage.

 

What level of incompetence does it take to say “We were pressured by our players into making a decision we didn’t want to make” out loud and think it makes you look better than if you just took responsibility for the decision that you ultimately made?

Chris Paul is the definition of valuable.

 

Last night was a big night. Chris Paul went full Point God, Doc and the 76ers avoided disaster, and Luka got his first playoff series win of his career. Good times.

 

How do tickets for future games work if those games never end up happening? Like if I bought tickets to game 7 of Bucks/Celtics, but one team closes it out in 6, so I just get my money back?

 

Yes, you should. I had tickets to Nets-Celtics Game 6 lol and got a refund (though if you get it from StubHub or another reseller, check your email because they may try to give you a voucher by default unless you call them)

 

Interesting.

Boston/Milwaukee definitely interests me more, but Boston is either a 6.5 hour drive or a flight. Philly/Miami interests me less but is also much closer/easier to do.

Or, I could save my money and hope that Philly makes the conference finals. Though I'm sure those ticket prices will be outrageous.

 

Who wants to go to Game 1 of Celtics/Bucks? Anyone up that way?

 

I never expect happiness in sports, but glory to Memphis!

Wow, didn’t even know this happened. Didn’t watch the game and didn’t really see it talked about after.

 

Joel Embiid out indefinitely with an orbital fracture and concussion sustained while Philly was up 29 with 4 left in the game.

 

Doc had to be sure it was over. REAL sure.

 

I would think eventually people would stop hiring him, but here we stand

 

The Lakers probably submitted their offer shortly after the news broke.

 

Wanted to go to game 7, but I fly out to Arizona for a meeting the day after, so it just wasn’t going to work.

So game 1, here we come!

Definitely gonna roll in wearing Tennessee gear. I’m an anti-jersey guy, but we may both buy Grant Williams jerseys when we get there. Is it okay because he’s younger than me? It feels like I can make that claim to justify it.

 

As an absolute Lakers hater, I’d be thrilled. But even they aren’t that stupid
