Bucks have fired Bud. Surely Nick Nurse is on his way to Milwaukee…

Im sure they will interview him,
Sad about Bud brother but this had to happened after the playoffs this year.

[elsewhere]

I think they already have someone lined up. Crazy that three of the last four championship coaches are out. On the plus side, Bud still had 2 yr 16mill left on his contract. IMO he takes a year off and spend time with family after hid brother passing. No reason to rush anyways.

[elsewhere]

Knicks are going win either way. Knicks have win this game. Butler going be out for Miami. Miami basically throwing this game for extra Butler rest if Knicks lose woof. Looks at the game 2 after game 1 lose. Mil, Cavs, Memphis all had huge wins after that

I think 76ers should have done the same yesterday and rest Embiid, there was no point in playing him in 2nd game right after injury.

I agree with you but I think the difference is Embiid needed the conditioning plus see what adjustments bos made to be ready for game 3.
I expect GSW to win and if there up big in the 4th lakers are resting guys

[RedG13]

Warriors blow out Lakers in game 2. Warriors where not lose 2 games at home with how they played. This series should be interesting.

Yup, took care of business last night. Desperately need to win one of games 3 and 4 though.

[amir87]

What a game. Harden coming up clutch.

[elsewhere]

Jokic..What a talent, what a player..

[RedSince86]

Damn Knicks!!!

[Broad Spectrum]

Lakers go through in 6. Let’s see how they manage (or don’t manage!) the joker and that Denver team in a playoff series. Done well though to stay healthy and progress to the western conference finals.

It should be an pretty even matched series imo.
I expect it go 6 or 7.
Lean Nuggets winning.

[GreatEx]

Jokic..What a talent, what a player..

Crazy that he only made the All NBA 2nd team after being an unlucky 2nd in the MVP (he would have been my MVP choice but maybe they grew tired of his monopoly). They should just make it that there's 3 front court spots and 2 back court, with a max of 2 centres. After all, they don't have any rules about naming 2 point guards or 2 power forwards. And in the modern game positions are more fluid anyway.

It going to position less All NBA soon.
Embiid got 2nd team all NBA before with Jokic first.

[TipTopKop]

So the damn dog lied afterall. Not that I'm complaining like, well done to the Lakers and hope they go on and take it all (unlikely, but I can dream!)

[Studgotelli]

Lakers take the series, no one is beating them 4 times imo. AD will also lock up Jokic

yes next season

Sixers getting embarrassed here in Game 7.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Two sporting bottle jobs completed in one day.

[RedG13]

Tatum was awesome new Game 7 NBA record with 51 points.
Doc Rivers might be out of a job soon

[coolbyrne]

I know I'm pretty old school, but there's no way Isaiah Thomas or Michael Jordan would've been laughing and congratulating their opponent blowing them out by 24 points in a Game 7, the way Embiid did with Jayson Tatum. Embidd's got seven seasons and zero conference finals. First MVP to not make it to a conference final. Had the chance to close out the series at home in Game 6 and stumbled. A ton of this blame falls on Doc Rivers, but part of it is this apparent 'shrug' response by the league's MVP when getting blown out in Game 7.

[GreatEx]

I liked Embiid a lot, him and Giannis + Joker are probably my favourite players from other teams, but that was not a performance befitting an MVP. Jokic still has something to prove in the WCF but it feels like this was a "spread the wealth" vote.

[RedSince86]

Damn, Harden got 9 points, that is laughable.

A reason he has no rings, when the pressure is on he always falters, nothing but a regular season flat track bully who cannot handle the spotlight in the big playoff games and this is a Guy who's never missed a playoff season playing on loaded teams.

Does anyone know, are NBA games usually available to watch on Youtube?
I caught this game last night on Sky Sports Youtube channel.
Is this playoffs only? One off? Or are they normally available there?

I think the 20:30 slot in the UK on Sunday evenings is on their free-to-air channel (Sky Sports Mix?). I think this may occasionally extend to two games if one is on earlier at 18:00 or later at 22:00/22:30.

Also BBC are showing the odd NBA game, I was surprised one of the Celtics-Sixers games wasn’t on TV but later seen it was on the BBC.

For anyone interested in NBA League pass, past 2 years I’ve waited until around Black Friday until signing up and ended up getting 50% off. You miss the first 20-25 games but 50% is a decent discount.

76ers have fired Doc Rivers

I see Morant is in trouble again.

Thanks for that.
Had no idea NBA Pass existed.
Wish PL did something like that.

I’ll probably grab that for next season.

Sky sports mix is not free to air, you have to have sky's basic TV package, sky signature, to receive it.

Spurs win the draft Lottery for the rights to pick Victor Wembanyama

[elsewhere]

Spurs would be good for him and best for the league too.

Glad it wasn't Charlotte or Portland.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Their plan came together!

I keep repeating myself but

Jokic with 34 pts 21 rebs 14 assists

Good Lord

He had 12 rebounds in the first quarter too lol.
he had the tripe double in the 3rd quarter.

Heat knocks off the Celtics in game 1

[Gerry Attrick]

I love Erik Spoelstra. The Heat are absolutely blessed to have him.

[ScottScott]

If the C's are going to win this title, they are determined to do it the hardest way fucking possible and it might genuinely kill me

[elsewhere]

seriously, how the hell is it possible that you cover the NBA and you haven't seen the 2xMVP playing previously?
and you say that so casually? this is seriously embarrassing.
