Two games tonight...

 

Brooklyn leading Chicago 33-27 after the 1st Quarter...

 

Denver at Golden State in Game 6 later on..

[Adam Wolff]

Brooklyn looking like they should be able to force a Game 7 against a beat up Bulls team.

 

I think the Warriors close out the Nuggets tonight.

[BSLChrisStoner]

32 seconds left... Nets up 2...

[BSLChrisStoner]

Boozer fouls out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Bulls had the ball with 19 seconds left, down 3. Horrible sequence.

[Adam Wolff]

Well, we get a game 7 in the Chicago/Brooklyn series. That's fun. I think Brooklyn will take it to complete the comeback.

 

David Lee playing for the Warriors. Apparently out for the rest of the postseason is a shorter time than it used to be.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Denver up 25-21 as the 2nd Quarter begins.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Nuggets up 11 in the middle of the 2nd..

Bogut has impressed me with his athleticism.

Bogut has impressed me with his athleticism.

 

He's having an excellent night defensively. Really protecting the paint. There's a lot of pressure on him to rebound as well, playing in that undersized lineup. He's having a very good game.

 

Golden State has played pretty poorly overall, but down just 2. I still expect them to ultimately take this game.

[Adam Wolff]

Additional thought on GS, if you would have said that Curry and Thompson would be 2-13 combined, have less than 10 points, and they'd be down 2, I'd probably have said impossible.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Curry hits a 3.. GS up 3 (47-44) with 9:20 left in the 3rd.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Another Curry 3! He is fun..

[BSLChrisStoner]

Beautiful look from Curry to Bogut.

 

With Lee back, and Curry playing out of his mind... they won't be an easy out.

[You Play to Win the Game]

I'm not a big NBA guy, but I saw this GS win coming. Good for them.

[bnickle]

GS may have just performed the biggest choke job ever for a team that hung on and won.

 

San Antonio will beat GS in 4 or 5. They're definitely happy to get Golden State over Denver.

Game 6 Friday...

 

New York at Boston (Knicks lead 3-2)

Indiana at Atlanta (Pacers lead 3-2)

OKC at Houston (Thunder lead 3-2)
LAC at Memphis (Grizzlies lead 3-2)

For as uninteresting as most people were making this first round out to be, 6 of the 8 series will go to at least 6 games and have been very competitive. We should be fortunate enough to get a handful of game 7's as well.

Agreed. And I don't necessarily want this to happen, but if Boston wins tonight, that will end up being one of the better 1st round series in a while.

I'm not much of an NBA fan, but I will watch the semis and the finals. I just don't think it's necessary to have two full months of playoffs. Why not make the first round or two five games instead of seven?

I liked it more when it was a best-of-5, I can see why the NBA in additional to monetary reasons wanted it expanded -- the more games you play, the more likely the "better" team is going to win.

 

The NHL/NBA playoffs are watered down when half the teams get in. It almost feels like you can just start watching during the playoffs and it's even termed "the real season."

 

I do think the NBA/NHL could play every other day (atleast until the Finals) with an additional day off between series, maybe back-to-back games in some cases to speed things up.

 

Not sure if this has happened before but you have four games tonight in two time slots. I actually think they could've put a west game later, but I can see the NBA not wanting to lose the east coast fan-base.
