It’s the hope that kills you man. Might as well not even go to Detroit and forfeit the game. What a joke of a team. Jamal Mosely needs to be fired immediately. Zero urgency of the situation.

[Basketball Thoughts @b_ballthoughts]

And one!!!

[Basketball Thoughts @b_ballthoughts]

Oh my god, we are going to get a game 7 in Boston.

[Basketball Thoughts @b_ballthoughts]

For each team.)

The Atlanta hawks might be eliminated mathematically before the 4th quarter begins 😶.

[Basketball Thoughts @b_ballthoughts]

If the Knicks commit a shot clock violation every time they touch the ball in the fourth quarter, the Atlanta Hawks would have a max of 15 possessions. (This is done by dividing the total seconds in a quarter (720) by the shot clock (24), then dividing that by 2. To account.

Five-time NBA All-Star John Wall has become the president of basketball operations at Howard University, returning to Washington, D.C. to partner with the top-ranked HBCU in the country, school officials tell ESPN.

The east could have four game sevens and I wouldn’t be surprised at this point.

Joel Embiid put the squad on his back 🔥

Embiid's 30-piece keeps the Sixers alive and forces a Game 6 👏

WILD PAOLO DAGGER 3 SEALS MAGIC WIN OVER PISTONS 🤯

ORLANDO LEADS SERIES 2-1 🍿

(via @NBA)

[Tomer Azarly @TomerAzarly]

This is a massive missed call that would’ve given the Magic an 11-point lead.

Isaiah Stewart goes through the rim to block this shot, which is a violation. They call Carter for offensive goaltending.

Instead, they make an incorrect call, Pistons go down and score. Game-changing sequence right here.

[Basketball Thoughts @b_ballthoughts]

If he plays with this type of energy throughout the rest of the series it’s a wrap.
