    C Bags down 68-61 halfway through the 3rd in Game 7 at home with Tatum out. Mazzula with a curious decision to start Garza, Harper, and Scheierman, who have never started a playoff game. Although he did go with Queta to start the 2nd half.

    Boston continues to chuck up three after three. C bag fans talk so much smack, but their over reliance on the 3 point shot is being exposed once again in the postseason. Love to see it.

    Well we may end up getting swept by OKC, but at least we didn’t blow a 3-1 lead in the first round as the #2 seed. :Laugh:

    Yep, while everyone was saying we were going to blow it and celebrating the C Bags going further, we got through the first round and we were without our superstar too!!

    Also, i wouldn't mind Ant next to Luka... alien would do too i guess ;)

    0 - 8 from 3. So, I guess, defense isn't enough :) Need to be able to score SOME... or you are Rudy Gobert.

    Very interesting that series, Minny is a scrappy team.
    This is all good for San Antonio, to see how they respond and grow from that, they are a young team and need these experiences

    First time in the NBA playoffs?? He was playing like it was a regular season game and went 0-8 from 3. 12 blocks however. That is imposing. He needs to go inside more, I am wondering if he is feeling some problems due to his last injury?? Maybe he is trying not to take the beating down low?

    Now, this game was blocked in my area, you had to be Peacock streaming customer to get it. I refuse to subscribe to Peacock. Prime I don't mind as much because I already have it.

    And like Prime you can’t time shift by putting the game on record because it’s streaming. But Prime actually has a work around for that unlike Peacock which doesn’t even let you pause the game. If you want to let the game get far enough ahead, like an hour, so that you can watch it straight through skipping commercials and the halftime …. you “can” put it on pause at the beginning before tip off and then come back later and hit play. It gives option of continue watching or real time. Once you continue then you have fast forward or backing up as if recorded. Scoreboard Prime. :clap:

    yeah, not getting peacock for this crap.

    would have liked to catch that one, though. minny just keeps showing up in the playoffs, man.

    when we lost to them last year, i was pretty disappointed, but tbh, they're just kinda built for these games.

    I'm not in the US and always get amazed with people in the US not being able to see the games of... the US basketball league
    There's even games in the regular season that if you're in a different state you literally have no option to watch it, right?

    That's so wild. In Europe you can get the League Pass for under 200 €/USD per year and have all the games available in multiple platforms, live, on-demand, different commentary.

    I can't understand why the same wouldn't be available in the country where the games are happening

    Peacock is free with instacart + and sometimes with deals it comes to 19.99 $ a year ..

    I don't remember if you need to cancel it before yearly subscription, but it can be renewed at same price
    and Peacock is showing EPL too so if you soccer fan it must

    It's the delivery systems and networks hitting us with the local territory blackouts unless you have Spectrum Sports Net or the particular Streamer it's on if no Network channel. I guess they paid a lot of money for the rights. But it kills me how much I have to pay for the most limited basic DirecTV package just so I have Lakers and Dodgers every game that's not on network.

    i believe the basketball gods bubble-wrapped embiid just long enough to prevent another boston trip to the finals, and i shall praise them.
