The entire NBA travels.

Sadly. I mean, with all the rule changes the NFL makes yearly which requires players and refs to adjust, would it be that hard to start enforcing one of the most basic and fundamental rules in basketball? Traveling was installed as a rule for a reason. It’s so gross how prevalent it is.

Milwaukee was lucky they won one title. Their core is so injury prone and now they are all getting older with hard miles on those treads.

The Knicks are an easy team to root for, and that feels weird to me.

Am I crazy for thinking the Pacers have a chance against the Knicks?

I know NY's defense is good and Indy's D isn't, but Indy's offense is one of the best in the league and I feel like they matchup well with NY.

I don't think so. If the classic Thibs regular season heavy workload starts to catch up to the Knicks, Pacers could easily win a couple games and next thing you know it's game 7

This Wolves defense has been suffocating.

And also, while Murray has had some clutch moments in this year's playoffs, he's largely been disappointing.

Guess this TWolves defense is the real real deal, Jokic has been pretty quiet by his standards. Murray has struggled. Will be interesting to see if Denver turns it around on the road

Nobody had any faith in the TWolves…all through the regular season when they were in the #1 spot, nobody believed in em still

I knew they would be a matchup issue for Denver

After watching the Wolves be terrible for so many years up here, it's pretty crazy to see how their defense has been handling teams all year. Denver is clearly frustrated(especially Murray) when they're throwing heating pads on the court.

2004 Detroit Pistons (GOAT) level defense last night from the Wolves. Best defensive performance we have seen in some time. Holding a team to 80 is incredible these days especially a team that is as dynamic as the Nuggets.
