Live Event The 2025 NBA Playoffs Thread

[peternorth]

The Regular season is over with the Raptors, Nets, 76ers, Hornets, Wizards, Suns, TBlazers, Spurs, Pelicans and Jazz all missing out. We now have 20 teams all vying for the ultimate prize - the Larry O'Brien trophy.

THE BRACKET




It came down to the final and action packed day for the Western Conference to sort itself out.

The Play-In games are on Wednesday and Thursday Australian time.

Gamble responsibly.

 

[nahnah]

I will gamble responsibly by putting my life savings on lakers winning the free throw count in their first round series

 

[tigs2010]

Ahh shit we made it

GSW played that perfectly to beat Memphis and then get a young Rockets team in the first round and avoid Denver, OKC til at least the WCF if they get there.

 

[hotchilli]

Hoping that having experienced guys like FVV, Brooks, Adams & Jeff Green can help settle the young guys early.

 

[srobbo]

landed in LA, as that dubs/clips qualifier wound up hoping Clips would get rolled to see their home play in game.

To fly up to SF to see Dubs/Grizz?Will be a $1.5-2K exercise…

If we had won we would have avoided Denver and OKC until the WCF.

We now have odds of playing OKC in the first round as well.

We really needed the 5 days off.

 

[fidstar]

Also, apparently Harden is the best closer in the game now. smh.

 

[Nicho50]

Why would you want to avoid Denver? They’d be the number one west team you’d line up to play out of the top 6 I reckon.

 

[Memphis]

We might be a good team to get but absolutely no way a team would go into the play in to get a preferred match up. Anything can happen in one game.

Also, apparently Harden is the best closer in the game now. smh.

Will go back to playoff Harden no doubt now, it's why I wanted them as good as they've been. Playoff Harden and Kahwi likely cooks himself ar some point.

The East play in should be fun. Definitely wouldn't want to lose the 7/8 game.

 

[Memphis]

I agree.

I don’t know where this tank games to get a specific team for the playoffs came from so many analysts say it and it’s ridiculous.

wow lasted one year. how much is he paid out i wonder

I have no idea what they should do. I get wanting to keep Booker but trading him seems the only way to fast track a rebuild and he's not going to stay for a slow rebuild.

I can't see any scenario that has them competing in the next two years.

I'd be amazed if Durant gets them anything big despite some of the crazy deals Suns fans are coming up with. Still a good player but given his age why would anyone give up a promising player or good draft pick for him.

 

[peternorth]

Paige Bueckers pick 1 for the Dallas Wings. Thats something for the city of Dallas to celebrate

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

lol PHX, fk KD hoe ahhh bih. Don’t care about sports betters and we don’t care about you.

 

[Memphis]

wow lasted one year. how much is he paid out i wonder

Ishbia is made of money.

He has 3 coaches not coaching the team on the payroll.

 

[Richard Cranium]

hoe ahhh bih

pardon?

 

[Primetime Pricey]

He's been quite good, changed how he plays with this young team. Lead the league in assists. Bringing them back here.
