This year MVP voting is the biggest rob job ever. I guess my prediction didn't fully come true since Jokic didn't even make it to the WCF.

Doncic is the true MVP this season. I'm happy that I don't need to feel retarded as often as @IAmNotAlpharius and @A Bit Concerning

Honestly the mvp vote should be after the post season. I just hate the Lakers.
 
New Pacers logo just dropped.

Edit: The finals don't even start until June 6. And assuming Dallas sweeps tomorrow that's approaching a Super Bowl tier level of time between games. Crazy.

Is this the first time in history both conference finals have been simultaneously swept? I know we got really close back in 2017 with Golden State sweeping the spurs 4-0 and Cleveland taking Boston 4-1 but I don't know if we've ever had both conference finals end in four game sweeps before.
 
The Pacers have gone beyond choking and into negative realms of being reverse-clutch. Sure, nobody was really expecting them to beat the Celtics overall especially with Haliburton's injuries, but the ways they manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory four times in a row are just so silly to watch.

Amazingly it has not happened since 1957, and in those days the 'division' finals were a best of five series. So no, it hasn't ever happened.

I thought the Celtics did pretty well against West teams this year, though I admit I barely gave the NBA a thought this season until the playoffs started.

I'm gonna root for the Celtics solely because Mark Cuban is such a turdblossom. And hell the Pacers were leading at minute 47 in three of the four games this series. If I wanna believe the Celtics have poise and never quit and not that the Pacers are the basketball equivalent to a Heimlich maneuver, nobody can stop me. At least until June 6.

The Celtics are a great team, they fell short the last few years at the finals/semifinals this is their time to prove it. Anything short of championship is failure for them now. Holiday and Porzingis were big pickups this year to add to Brown and Tatum. They have been my pick to win since the beginning. Let's go!

Only reason the Celtics lose is if they all fell asleep on their easy route to the finals.

That roster is insane, and OKC (which runs a similar offense) got the Mavs to 6 and almost 7.

Luka will carry the Mavs while Tatum does his yearly disappear from clutch moments/ games. Even after losing game 4, I still got the Mavs beating the Celtics in 6.
 
Mavericks vs. Celtics could actually be the most competitive Finals matchup we’ve seen in recent memory. Though, there’s no doubt Boston will end up winning it.

Either way, I’m just impressed that Kyrie Irving has managed to make the Finals twice with two teams (Cavs and Mavs), and is now going against his old team when he used to be a starter for them.
