New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

8 / 35 from the ARC . The Best way to lose . But once they hit the first 5 long balls it's Contagious.

The problem to me was they just lacked motivation as did the Thunder last night

 

[Steve Williams]

a good read. A summary of why the Wolves are doing sos well

Lowe: How Anthony Edwards' ascension has led to the redemption of Karl-Anthony Towns​

Lowe: How Anthony Edwards' ascension has led to the redemption of Karl-Anthony Towns

Karl-Anthony Towns could have been gone -- the falling star the Wolves had to trade. But what if he's actually the perfect bridge between Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards?

Divi is a big factor . Wonder why he's on his 4th team in 6 yrs. Must be loving his Nova buddies now.

Last year Brunson was still hitting 30+ points against Miami . Randle and the 2 bigs were there . Hart was off the bench and they had RJ Barnett as starter but they lost to Miami on the 2nd round . Some adjustments make the differences .

First time I've ever seen such protest filings.

Report: ‘Pacers to file complaint’ to NBA for 78 calls over Games 1 & 2 vs. Knicks

Following in the Philadelphia 76ers footsteps, it appears the Indiana Pacers also feel they were significantly disadvantaged over the first two games vs. Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Ive been saying since the start of the semifinals that these referees cannot keep up with the pace of the game and that they are missing calls and overcalling calls. Im still irked about Mike Malone and the lead referee jawing face to face rather than tossing him out of the game. Why has Silver not commented on this. Silver lacks a backbone and will never be a David Stern who mentored Silver to take over

I hate to see injuries potentially affect the outcome of any series

Knicks rule out OG Anunoby for Game 3; Jalen Brunson questionable
OG Anunoby strained his left hamstring in Game 2, while Jalen Brunson missed the 2nd quarter of Game 2 with a sore right foot.

DiVincenzo has emerged as a great 3 point shooter as he quickly erases a 10 point lead

End of 1st Pacers lead 28-20 as pPacers have a small burst end of period

 

[Steve Williams]

So Carlisle gets fined $35K by the commish for arguing a call where he had no right to challenge (even though he would have lost that challenge) and Mike Malone gets a free pass with no fine or ejection.....Hmmm

Pacers' Rick Carlisle fined $35K by NBA for public criticism of officiating | NBA.com

Indiana's coach was fined due to his comments after the Pacers' 130-121 loss in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden.

Close first half as pacers up by 5 63-58

Divincenzo has been impressive and Halliburton finally drops some baskets and is also looking much better with 23 points

 

[Steve Williams]

DiVincenzo continues to impress me with his outside shooting.

Very close game

79-77 Pacers with 4:00 left in 3rd

 

[Steve Williams]

This should be called Donte’s inferno. He’s shooting the light out from three point range

He’s 6-8 from outside the arc

 

[Steve Williams]

Divincenzo is the star tonight as he takes the lead at 87-83

 

[Steve Williams]

Pacers totally implode in the last 5 minutes of the 3rd. They can compete but they aren’t closers

End of 3rd Knicks 90-85

 

[Steve Williams]

Incredible final 2 minutes as the Knicks tie it at 106 and with clock running out Pacers dunk a buzzer beater 3 to go up 109-106

Knicks foul as Brunson misses a desperation last shot Pacers go up 111-106

Game over as Pacers win the pivotal game.

Sheer excitement. Burunson missed a lot of shots and fee throws but Halliburton kept them in the game.
Series 2-1 Knicks.

Donte went for naught but was he a joy to watch

 

[Steve Williams]

FWIW as the game starts Wolves are the only undefeated team in the playoffs

Nemhart had all but 2 points till the closing seconds and nailed a huge 3. That's something Tatum has never done in 6 years. Sad to say. Grit is it.

 

[Steve Williams]

A different Nuggets team showed up tonight as they are making all their shots and Wolves are not

34-20 Nuggets earl in the 2nd

 

[Steve Williams]

I just read Naz Reid won Sixth Man of the Year. Even he is missing shots tonight. Wolves have lost their swarming Defense as Nuggets are getting their way open just about every play

Nuggets adjusted early on and takes a good lead. Wolves are ever dangerous. Reid is well equipped to be a Gibraltar of sorts against Jokic.
