Kyrie having his head screwed on straight is one of my favorite parts about these playoffs. Such an elite player.

Yep, that was an incredible “block.”
It’s just poor game awareness from an incredible player who typically exhibits insane game awarensss. Certainly not SGA’s fault they lost, but there’s a two in three chance of that shot clanging and the game ending. Or even better, since he could’ve contested without fouling. DON’T FOUL A JUMP SHOOTER, and definitely not PJ fn Washington on a three with two seconds left. That’s the shot you wanted Dallas taking.

Yeah, Lively won them that game. What a performance by the rook. SGA did all he could. Still pissed about the BS foul call to decide the game/series.

It was an incredibly stupid foul too. Lol

That game was incredible. Just got home. Omg. I love playoff atmospheres it's so freaking awesome.

Wait are there actually takes that it wasn't a foul? That was the fastest review I've seen the entire season. The arena laughed on the first replay with his hand flat against the entire forearm and everyone rejoiced instantly.
(Good challenge, some may say, but not when it costs you the last timeout and is that obvious. It was the difference between OKC having a chance to tie or not. With no TOs, they couldnt call one on the rebound to advance the ball)
You could see the refs look once and then stand up straight and start talking about the clock and checking timeouts and foul situations lol.

Lost in all of this was the final full possession for OKC. That looked like a designed play and was well run.

It seems there's soccer jerseys mostly here. Have surprisingly seen only 1 Jokic jersey, but lots of dudes that look like him.Did this change recently? I always thought Football (soccer) was their favorite sport?
I asked my waiter tonight if he thinks people will be out for the game tomorrow and he said no. Says most people watch games from home, as very few Nuggets games start before midnight. Might not be as cool as I thought, but will keep y'all posted haha.

That said, there's apparently a massive basketball game here tonight that has energy better than nba arenas. Apparently really hard to get tickets but I'm going to try to find a way.It seems there's soccer jerseys mostly here.

Yeah, you should definitely go. The videos I've seen of some of these Serbian games are crazy. People lighting fireworks and smoke bombs while the players are on the court playing like just another day in the office. Add all the cool chants in a tightly packed indoor arena must make it an amazing experience.
First thing that popped up on youtube https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vaF2YJGJ_D4.

Now that would have been a terrible call. It's only a jump ball if Washington jumps, SGA touches/grabs the ball, and Washington then comes back to the ground before shooting

Footballguy
That play also shows why SGA is one of my favorite players and Luka one of my least. SGA commits a questionable foul and is pretty chill and walks away and waits for replay. Doesn't throw his hands in the air and whine like a little baby. In contrast, Luka started his bitching before the ball even left Washington's hands. Immediately rolling into his Luka being a whiny baby

I was born in Minnesota, but moved when I was about 3
So I've been spared the typical Minny fan's tough history; I never really had that connection to the teams there.
That being said, this is the day, I believe, that the ship begins to right itself
Minnesota is a winner today

Luka used to be the easy 2nd choice for me if I was starting to build a franchise right now, but now he is 5th.
Jokic

Sounds like Hart and OG are going to go.

If there is one play that I'm okay with a bunch of players jumping up and down on, it's a play like that at the end of an important game.
I also wish they wouldn't have challenged that obvious foul. Woulda been pretty nice to have an inbound from half court down 1 or 2.

Tough spot though. There have been plenty of calls overturned where defender hits ball first, which clearly happened here. I wasn't the only one who hadn't heard of the "must dislodge ball first" until last night.
Also, game deciding plays like this should be an automatic review. Get it right. Teams shouldn't have to challenge in these situations. Different debate though

Maybe a menu where you can toggle them off and on? I'd pay for it.

If you can include Booger in that package and exclude him from all NFL related events that might be a winner.

It's halftime here. Managed to get a last minute ticket from a scalper super cheap.
This is by FAR the craziest sporting event I've ever been at. Flares going off in the arena, everyone is jumping non stop and the building is shaking, riot police everywhere, everyone smoking inside, non stop chants and songs. It's awesome! It's their championship here, I got lucky to be here on this day.
Pretty decent ball too, but so much different than the NBA obviously.

Game certainly not disappointing so far. Hard not to love either of these teams.

Unfortunately, Sunday afternoon is the only time I ever have a chance to watch basketball.
Apparently, every Sunday afternoon the Pacers look like the '96 Bulls.

I love it so far, but this game isn't over. The Pacers can't keep shooting 75 percent from the field, can they?

Yeah, the Knicks will make a game of this in the 2nd Half. They don't strike me as a team that will go out easy.

Goaltending on last shot, no?
If not, great play again by Siakam to take points off the board
