NBA Playoffs 2026 - If Anyone Cares

[Larry Loungelizard]

I watched a good portion of the 1st half - up 8 at the half. Watched Midsomer Murders for a while, came back to the game with Knicks up 7 at about 6 minutes to play.
. Brown sucks as a coach. I know one thing, both me and Thibes would have shut that comeback down with a TO when we felt the tide shift, and before Hawks evened things up.

Coaching COUNTS !

You got to FEEEEL the game, Larry.

Very well said.

 

[Larry Loungelizard]

Sixers showed up for work tonight and evened up the series. Celts ought to be ashamed.

Wenby got a concussion in the Spurs-Blazers game. Very big ouchie.

I happened to have that on and saw it. It was a total face plant.

Then I changed the channel.

Your compassion is very inspiring.

Yeah, Cs suck too. Should be an interesting series to see who sucks less in the end.

That dude is like 20 feet tall. It was a long way down to the floor.

It looked totally cool in slow motion. I wouldn't be surprised if he broke his jaw or lost some teeth.

21 feet tall.

Blazers win and now the Spurs are under pressure with the concussion diagnosis on Wemby. Suddenly the playoffs feel like a soap opera.

 

[Larry Loungelizard]

Fuck the NBA. Tonight's games are all on Amazon. Now I have to call the local sports bars and see if they're able to show those games. The league is run by a bunch of idiots.

I am boycotting all Amazon and Peacock games.

You are a very scholarly man. I salute you.

Damn, Holli, the Knicks almost pulled it off, but Brunson had a case of butterfingers on the last possession. Sorry.

It's always a good thing when a New York team loses, Larry.

Did you visit NYC once and got mugged?

 

[Reggie_Essent]

Did you visit NYC once and got mugged?

No. I did visit NYC once and I was appalled at the filth and squalor. Every doorway smelled like urine and there were piles of garbage everywhere. The people smelled worse than our Chicago ghetto niggers and the cops were even bigger jagoffs than our cops here.

I stood on the shore of a river and looked across the waters to New Jersey, but that place smelled even worse so I didn't bother to go there.

As I said, they are not very good.

You went during the 1968 sanitation worker strike. That explains things.

Another night of the games being on Amazon, but nothing I care to watch.

I hope the Knicks lose to Atlanta so I can write Bring back Thibs in every yahoo article about them.

 

[Larry Loungelizard]

Oh well, my hopes for a seven game war between the Lakers and Rockets are dashed. Rockets forced the OT, but LA got the W and a 3-0 series lead. Darn it.

I thought these were 5 game series.
...Ah, but it isn't. That gives the Knicks a chance....DAMN !

Yeah, the first round was extended to seven games years ago. The Knicks should rebound in game 4. Book it.

[Larry Loungelizard]

Thunder are on the brink of moving on to the next round.

 

[The New Holliday]

Knicks actually look like they came to play. Except Brunson...he's sucking.
. All the other starters looked good though.
Towns finally looked like he remembered he's a big strong center a few times.

Hey, what's with Jokic doing cigar store injin imitations on D?

 

[The New Holliday]

I watched some of the Detroit game yesterday - second half and mostly the last 7 minutes.
. How the hell did that team win 60 games?
They suck.

One of the mysteries of sports. A team can be good during the regular season, but then shit the bed in the playoffs.

The Celts had an elimination chance on their home court and failed. So far this postseason hasn't been boring.
