Generally speaking, yes - I agree.
Game 3 Memphis/Minnesota being an obvious anomaly.

On a different note, I'm still wondering what odds I could have gotten before the season started that the Lakers wouldn't make the playoffs and Nets would get swept in the 1st round.

Never thought the Lakers would be in the playoffs this year.

The Nets bowing out early wasn’t a huge shock, but before the season it would have been difficult to make that guess…. They still had Harden

A leaky roof may be the only thing that can save the Warriors tonight.

Feels like that not-fun Nova vs. KU Final Four game. Everything the Mavs take is going in.

Defenses fighting.
It’s close after one.

Robert Williams is a beast. That block was insane.

Can’t buy a 3.
Celts can’t win shooting like this.

Why are the stands half empty for this game?

School night?

I don't watch a whole lot of NBA, but the Celts play some defense.

Miami is too cool to attend, just buy the tickets.

Tatum and Brown can close it out.

I think some of the inconsistencies we are seeing in this series in terms of point spread are related to the inconsistencies of roster stability.

Each game it seems as if several new players are hurt enough that it’s affecting them or that it’s caused them to sit.

These teams are banged up.
Tatum was nursing a shoulder issue all night. Buckets has a knee issue. Lowry is clearly not recovered. Robert Williams is still getting over his injury. Smart has had foot and leg issues. I think Jaylen had a minor leg problem these playoffs. Herro was out. Al had Covid.

Stands half empty? Looked about 90% (or more) full to me.
