No preferential treatment at all huh

That’s quite a stat. VERY difficult not to read into that……..

Looking like a wolves/warriors second round matchup. Both are up 3-1 and it’s rare teams make a comeback from that.

Ant is gonna take down LeBron, Luka, and Steph this year. Last year he took down KD and Jokic. Pretty impressive for a 23 yo.

I thought the Warriors would play the Thunder in round 2 and the Wolves would play the winner of the Clippers/Nuggets series?

Doesn’t the highest remaining seed always play the lowest remaining seed?

Gim, I think the NBA reseeds teams after the first round but the NHL does not. I wouldnt start saying who the wolves match up with in the second round with the NBA having a say in this yet.

Im pretty sure the winner of the Wolves series gets the winner of Rockets/Warriors series.

No reseeding. It would be warriors and wolves if they both hang on.

Correct

I feel like the Thunder are kind of getting screwed here. As the highest seed, they should earn the right to play the lowest remaining seed each round.

I don’t think that really tells the whole story, or are you also saying the league doesn’t give Steph/GS and Tyrese Haliburton/IND any preferential treatment? And MIL and ORL get Lebron style preferential treatment too? I think you see where I’m going here, Lebron/Giannis are huge men that take the ball to the hoop all the time, Steph and Tyrese are not, so it would make sense the big guys get to the line WAY more. I’m also not defending the joke that is NBA officiating, just saying free throws aren’t the metric to indicate it.

I have no complaints with the refs this series. It has been typical NBA officiating. The complaints come with Luka and his non-stop complaining. Tough product to watch. Ant loves to complain himself, but man does Luka take it to a different level.

I anticipate the Wolves wrap up the series tomorrow. They are the better team by a wide margin from my view.

Refs have been just OK in this series but I was not too fond of the TV commentary. Can’t stand those Laker homers calling the game. Would be nice to get another crew.

Series is far from over but sending the Fakers home would be satisfying on so many levels!
