Nuggets/Wolves needs to be a best-of-9 series man!

This is fun hoops!

PLAYOFF CJ!!!

Here's another key stat for the teams leading 1-0:

Teams that go up 2-0 in a best-of-7 series goes on to win the series 92% of the time (331-28).

The Brooklyn Nets have signed head coach Jordi Fernandez and the entire coaching staff to multiyear contract extensions, sources tell ESPN. This solidifies a long-term commitment for Fernandez after two seasons at the helm.

Game 1 winners:

- Cavs
- Nuggets
- Knicks
- Lakers
- Celtics
- Thunder
- Magic (on the road)
- Spurs

The Magic become just the third 8th seed since 2021 to win Game 1 on the road in the first round of the playoffs.

This is awesome

Man every time the Pistons cut into the lead, Magic always have an answer

Feels great to watch NBA playoff basketball again on NBC!

Thunder is just a well oiled machine man

Wasn't that long ago (via @stathead.com):

When Boston is knocking down threes, there's no stopping them

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!

a reminder to everyone that he missed 50 games this season

Can we just go straight to Warriors/Suns please?

The Hornets are just getting bullied by the Magic, they are more physical on the defensive end and going through them on the offensive end.
Charlotte has to get themselves together and understand you can't get it all back at once. Piece by piece but got to stop the bleeding now

Draymond locking down Kawhi!

Good stuff from the 4x champ!

MY GOD AL!!

There is nothing like non-regular-season-yet-not-quite-playoffs basketball

The NBA has retroactively assessed LaMelo Ball a flagrant foul-2 and fined him for his takedown of Bam Adebayo last night.

What a win for Portland man!

DENI!!!

Blazers are falling apart
