The NBA is loving these playoffs. All the young guns getting to take center stage.

Luka
Ant
Haliburton
Tatum
I’ll throw in Jaylen Brown here too unless 26 is the cut off.

For sure. I was just naming the top player on each team.

Yeah, they have to be happy the young stars are shining but......Don't fool yourself.
I could be wrong but I'm guessing "The NBA" would have rather had the Lakers facing the Nuggets and the Knicks facing the Bucks or Sixers - or Celtics.

International vs United States

Which 5 is better?


International:
SGA
Luka
Giannis
Jokic
Embiid

USA (this one is harder to pick 5):
Steph
KD
Tatum
LeBron
AD


It's insane how far the game has come. You could argue the best 5 players in the NBA at this moment are that international list above.

I didn't clearly see the first part, but the 2nd part was quite clearly "mother fucker....you can't fucking guard me"....then to someone in the crowd was a "go home bitch".

Embiid should count for the USA or not at all. He has literally committed to the United States to play internationally. He has spent more time living in the US than any other country.

That's fair. I guess I meant internationally born players vs American born players. In regard to it becoming a game dominated by players born overseas.

If we were considering Embiid international, which I don’t, those five are better but I don’t think would work as well as a team than the US group.

Also Shai is Canadian which also barely counts and he moved to the US for high school.

P 55

C 44, with 5:08 left in the 1st half.

Quite a swing in momentum.

Hoping for a 7-game series.

The announcer doods just said the pacers are only the third team to average 7 double digit scorers in the playoffs. The other two both won rings.

But what were the other two? Anyone else catch?
