Last night two NBA Eastern Conference series ended! The Knicks finally sealed the deal even after Embiid scored 39 to go to the 2nd round for the second year in a row off of Jalen Brunson scoring 39 himself! 

And for the Pacers, they make it past the first round for the first time since 2014 in the Paul George Era! (Also fun fact, this is Rick Carlisle first series win since he won the championship in Dallas lol)

What’s your review of both of these series and whats next for the 76ers and Bucks. Both teams with VERY high expectations? Thoughts 🤔💭

In Celebration of the Minnesota Timberwolves winning their first playoff series in 20 years and being in a new age of future success for the first time since the KG era. I decided to dedicate this months upload to doing a MEGA TIMELINE on the Timberwolves road to where they are now! Starting off since the day KG was traded in 2007! 

I am halfway done with the writing/research and my editor is already editing what I have recorded so far. Do expect it to be out later this month and be READY for another 2 hour masterclass!

So I’ll ask, for anyone who kept up with the Wolves. How good does it feel to know this team is relevant again after being in the basement for so long? Thoughts 🤔💭

Two playoff games, and two blowouts. One was expected as the Celtics move to the second round off of another AMAZING Derrick White game. And the other, a complete disaster for the Clippers now down 2-3 after a 30 point loss. The most in Clippers playoff history. 

Think the Clippers can pull off the comeback and are the Celtics still the team to beat out East? Thoughts 🤔💭

The NBA Playoffs. The Gift that keeps on giving 🔥. 

Last night we saw a mini version of TMac’s 13 points in 33 seconds with Tyrese Maxey scoring 7 points in 18 seconds and sending the game into OT with a LOGO 3 POINTER to keep the 76ers playoffs hopes ALIVE! 

We also seen the Cavs go up on their series despite a masterclass from Sophmore Paolo Banchero and the Bucks rally together to win game 5! And Doc Rivers even hints at a potential Giannis return 🤔

The Playoffs are about stepping up and clutch plays. And what’s more clutch than Jamal Murray making TWO game winning shots on the Lakers and ending their season on a hurt calf! 

We also had Derrick White going for 38, the Thunder sweeping the Pelicans, and the Lakers now debating keeping Darvin Ham!

If you missed out on the 4 game slate yesterday. SHAME ON YOU 🫵😡. Where do I even begin 😭

*Jalen Brunson scored a franchise playoff record of 47 to go up 3-1 on the 76ers
*Joel Embiid tries to foul bait and doesn’t get the call on a layup down 3 to lose
*James Harden and PG13 combine for 66 to beat the Mavs and tie the series 2-2
*Kyrie Irving scores 40 to almost complete the 31 point comeback (playoff record)
*Luka Doncic continues to struggle against the Clippers shooting 38% from the field and 26% from 3
*Indiana rallies and beats the Bucks to go up 3-1 (nightmare season for Milwaukee)
*Devin Booker scores 49, but Anthony Edwards 40 sweeps the Suns 
*Minnesota Timberwolves win their first playoff series since 2004 

So much to talk about and I probably could’ve said more. But the playoffs stay forever wild!

Thoughts 🤔💭

PS: The Post KG Timberwolves video is in production. We got ALOT to talk about to get to today’s greatness of the Ant lead Wolves 😈

No surprises here! Mark Diagneault is the winner of the NBA’s Coach of the Year award! 🥇 

Leading a 10th seeded team to a 1st seed after 1 season deserves massive praise especially in the bloated Western Conference. I don’t expect much debate for this, so let’s just congratulate his and his teams effort for a AMAZING season and many more to come!

The Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers made a statement last night. One offensively and one defensively. The Los Angeles Lakers finally held their lead and won game 4 and extended their series while the Orlando Magic got their defensive game plan and LOCKED UP the Cavs for 15 turnovers and had one of the best 3rd quarters in NBA Playoff History!

And for the other two games, the Thunder and Celtics took care of business and look to finish their series in their next game.

Think the Lakers can somehow continue things and make it interesting? And are the Orlando Magic a Dark Horse team if they make it to the second round?

Safe to say the New Gen Stars are doing their thing against the Old Gen Stars
*Timberwolves are up 3-0 against the Suns and none of the games have been close
*Kawhi, PG, and Russ combine for 17 points 😭
*Dallas goes up 2-1 despite Luka shooting 7/25
*Tyrese Haliburton makes game winning AND-1 shot to win against Milwaukee and go up 2-1

And most importantly. Anthony Edwards is catching a fat fine. But he does not care 😂

Joel Embiid with the wildest playoff game of his career with Bell’s palsy. The Lakers are now down 3-0 to the Nuggets after a masterclass from their starters. And Orlando shocks the Cavaliers at home for their first home playoff win since 2011! 

There’s way more that happened last night, especially with Embiid’s controversial act to Mitchell Robinson, Dlo’s disappearing act, and Lakers fans having a “Fire Darvin Ham” chant. 

But the playoffs stay strong all day every day 😂. Thoughts on last nights games? 🤔💭
