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. Porzingis is now out with yet another leg injury. I feel so bad for the...

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.
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.
Time for another NBA thread. We all know Minnesota is well equipped to win on the road. They won at Denver 3 times. But going down 2-0 to the Mavericks at home is tough. First, while I despise Kyrie Irving, his handle is literally astounding...

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.
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 than the Heat-Sixers game tonight. The Sixers are only here because Embiid was hurt yet...
The Basketball Hall of Fame is the most enigmatic of the three major sports, both because it covers the entire sport (which means a lot of entries no one has.
I hate to do this because I don't want to get Denverite the satisfaction, but there's no question that Jokic is a god among basketball players and now he has.
