The Official 2026 NBA Finals Discussion Thread

Ayu Dosunmu has scored 30+ points for the first time in his career. He has broken out as a star for Minnesota.

Gobert got Jokic in hell all series. Phenomenal defense.

 

[Barry Poppins]

There's a reason Gobert is a 4x Defensive Player of the Year, he's genuinely so good at rim defense it's insanity.

Not gonna lie, some of these fist round series have me shocked.

Detroit/Orlando
LA/Houston is absolute domination which I didn’t expect with LA not having Luka and AR.
Minnesota/Denver always seem to play each other in the playoffs but Minny is running away with this one

 

[Barry Poppins]

Anthony Edwards expected to be out for several weeks with a bone Bruise and knee hyperextension. Horrible news for Minnesota's two main point guards.

 

[Cwalker]

They can get past Denver but they won’t get past San Antonio

 

[Cwalker]

Speaking of San Antonio, they rally from being down 17 at halftime to beat the TrailBlazers 114-93 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead

 

[Cwalker]

Kevin Durant will not play in tonight’s critical Game 4 for the Houston Rockets

 

[Hoss]

IT'S BEEN REAL

 

[Cwalker]

At halftime, the Celtics are up 56-38 on the Sixers in Philly

 

[Cwalker]

Final from Philly: Boston 128 Sixers 96

Embiid comes back at maybe 50 percent and nearly gives you 30 points, 10, and 6. Down 3-1 no way they come back if you even the Series with Joel getting healthier you had a chance but yeah it's done. When the Season is done Morey has to go like Topper will be gone tomorrow. You traded Ben Simmons for Harden and fucked up that relationship, then you get PG who has been a waste of money and now this bs.

imagine if the raptors win the nba title again this year

which most likely will not happen

but who knows right

 

[Cwalker]

Monday night results:

OKC completes its sweep of the Phoenix Suns 131-122

Jokic has the 23rd playoff triple double of his career and the Nuggets force a Game 6 beating the short handed Timberwolves 125-113.

And the Cinderella Orlando Magic take a commanding 3-1 series lead against the #1 Detroit Pistons 94-88

 

[Kairi HoHo]

On death's door the Sixers keep the Series vs the Celtics going back to Philly fo Game 6. Embiid had to go to the Locker Room during the Game and you can tell he's going to use every ounce of energy he has to make sure he's out there and he gave them 33 points. The Sixers hopefully play like did in Game 5 at Home in a possible Game 7 anything can happen.
