    And Haliburton is the ONLY NBA player to have a triple double and NO turnovers in a playoff game. Crazy stat

    Haliburton is for real. 8 months ago, I probably would have laughed if someone was trying to hype him up, but he's showing he's got what it takes and is elevating his game.
    He is one of the guys I do hype and yes people have laughed at me.  When that poll about overhyped players came out and he topped the list everyone took that as gospel.  I tried telling people, watch him play, you'll think differently.

    Glad you can see the talent this dude has and yes, a triple double with NO TURNOVERS!
    I remember the covid draft and I was hoping the Knicks would draft Hali, but went for Obi despite having 12 forwards/centers and no point guards.

    You aren't the only Knicks fan that has mentioned that.

    I put $10k on Minnesota tonight. 
    That would have been 10k lost...

    Maybe they were getting 31 points.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    I mentioned this earlier in this thread.  Antman looks like he went out partying the night before.  This series the whole team went out the night before.

    If OKC is going to remain this good then the Wolves will have nothing for them unless they revamp their team.

    OKC has the beginning of a Dynasty if they do the right things. Just think who they traded away and the draft picks they have in stock.

    Minnesota was built to contend with Denver. West is going to be even more interesting next year after the draft and if Wemby returns healthy.

    Can the Pacers or the Knicks give OKC a series? OKC D was so solid except for game 3

    I doubt it.
    OKC in 5 most likely.

    OKC is a powerhouse right now. They have all the pieces and they're clicking. The east winner might get 1 game if OKC gets lazy or loses the flow after they blow out the first 2 home games in the finals.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I'm not counting on the Spurs since coach Pop is gone now.

    The Pacers were sloppy as hell last night.  Awful.  The turnovers and the dribbling were pretty bad.

    Wayyy too many passes.  Shoot the damn ball people!!!
