Hey, another NBA game! I am too surprised that the Mavericks obliterated the Celtics on Thursday, but it was a terrible, poopy game to watch and I hope it will be obliterated from the memories of all who watched it, except Dallas fans I guess....

Luka Doncic is a great player. Luka Doncic is also a bum. It's hard to square all of that, but it's also hard to see otherwise given his performance this.
I said before the Game 1 thread that I thought a healthy Porzingis would make the difference for the Celtics, if he was indeed healthy. Well, it did....for 2 games..
The Logo has left us. Other than West being a great, great player, he came back into the public consciousness with Winning Time, a pretty good if certainly not great show about the Lakers in the 80s that got unjustly cut off in the second...
I have no idea who is going to win these finals, but I am excited to watch them. On one side, we have a very good Boston Celtics team, but.

I suppose I could have put one up for the Pacers-Knicks, but really who cares who the Celtics will eviscerate. A word on the Dallas-Oklahoma City series. Dallas played some.
All Hail King Jokic! A week after it looked like Denver was on the ropes, having sleepwalked through the series with the Lakers and then getting their asses handed to.
Another night of playoffs means another NBA and general sports open thread. The games tonight are not necessarily that interesting--the Celtics are going to eviscerate Cleveland again. Mavs-Thunder could be interesting, but Luka hasn't played that well lately and isn't that healthy. The Mavs just...
Time for an NBA playoff open thread (feel free to talk NHL too if you are so inclined or MLB too). Boston is presently up on Cleveland toward the end.
Let this non-political sports-based open thread be your place to talk about tonight's games. I cannot think of a more consequential play-in game in the brief history of this idea.
