OKC Thunder are deserved champions and worthy of it, given the overall season they’ve had. It’s just such brutal luck for Pacers, who can be so proud of the season they’ve had. Hope Haliburton is alright but I’m fearing the worst (ruptured Achilles Tendon).

Pete Crow-Armstrong: First he makes a diving catch in a one run game then leads off the next inning with a first pitch bomb off the RF scoreboard. MVPETE, I say. #Cubs

Carlos Alvarez, I’m speechless. What a comeback. That was an epic and a spectacular final, as good as any in the Open Era. #RolandGarros

Regardless of the outcome, enormous respect for Sinner and the way he has fought back in this game. #RolandGarros

There aren’t words to describe what we’ve seen from Carlos Alcaraz in that fourth set comeback. What a fifth set we’ve got coming up. #RolandGarros

Regardless of the outcome of this match, that is an astonishing bit of resilience from Alcaraz to level this 4th set after being down a break and facing 3 championship points. Hope this goes to a 5th set! #RolandGarros

Connor McDavid is unreal. And has been unreal since the moment he arrived in the league. His long speed, foot quickness, stick handling, vision, creativity, finishing, and goal scoring ability are all elite. And he backchecks. There’s so many ways he can beat you and elevate his team

Draisaitl scores but that was all on the move and skill from Connor McDavid. That was disgusting, good lord. #Oilers

This Sabalenka-Swiatek match has been a treat so far. #RolandGarros

PSG, wow. This might be game over already within 20 minutes. If they do hold on, it is quite ironic how they win the UCL right after Mbappe leaves for Madrid, where he ended up being trophy-less.

Simply incredible

Pacers-Knicks once again been incredible. Turnovers have just killed the Knicks in this game. But what an unbelievable all-around performance from Tyrese Haliburton. 👏

Oh look, SGA is foul baiting again and the refs are falling for it. Sigh. Timberwolves being down by only a handful of points with Ant/Randle not being productive enough while the team committing so many turnovers & poor on the glass should be encouraging.

It'd be nice if #Timberwolves can win again and make this a series again. I need this to be more competitive and go all the way to a Game 7. They gotta come out with similar energy and physicality like they did in Game 3. Julius Randle (once again) is pivotal to their chances of winning.

Oh my god, KAT. #Knicks

Karl-Anthony Towns had a lousy first 3 quarters, especially defensively, but what an aggressive 4th quarter so far. Hope the Knicks go on and win this one.

Compared to ECF and some of the other playoff series in the West, this Thunder-Timberwolves series has been deadass boring AF. There's not enough energy, intensity, beef or anything, especially from T-Wolves. I can't bring myself to even remotely enjoy it. SGA continues to be free-throw merchant.

ARE YOU KIDDING TYRESE - it's a 2 but holy crap

How can you not be romantic about basketball

OMG TYRESE HALIBURTON DOES IT AGAIN

Knicks-Pacers has been every bit awesome and then some more. I need this series to go the distance and have a Game 7.

This Knicks-Pacers game has been unbelievable so far. Also, I'm convinced that Porzingis and now Obi Toppin are secret Knicks double agent...

The rest of the Denver Nuggets should be forced to personally hand-write apology letters to Nikola Jokic (Aaron Gordon exempted)

Nuggets are having to work for every single bucket while the Thunder are forcing turnovers due to Nuggets' predictable offense and scoring with ease on the other end. Murray has been a passenger and so much of the burden is on Jokic, who has had no help outside of Braun. This series feels over.

Endless admiration and respect for Aaron Gordon for even playing in this game on a Grade 2 hamstring injury. He’s clearly laboring. If you’re the Thunder, how do you not go at him and put him on pick-and-roll action on defense every trip?

Knicks-Pacers ECF matchup will be so epic. How poetic that it is the last series covered by TNT and Reggie Miller will be on the call for it.

It’s such a shame the #Celtics’ season had to end this way and we didn’t get a more competitive series. But massive credit to the #Knicks, who are every bit deserving of the win.

After a competent start of keeping up with the Knicks, this has been a brutal stretch since late Q1 for the Celtics. If the 3-pt shots don’t fall, this will get ugly really soon. I feel this series is a wrap.

THE Luke Kornet Game!

What an incredible game from Luke Kornet. The impact he has had can't be understated. He's blocking shots like Dikembe Mutombo out there and flushing dunks on the other end with similar venom. #Celtics

Watching Tyrese Haliburton hoop has been such a joy to behold in these playoffs. #Pacers

😞😞

💯

That looked so terrible for Tatum, man. Please don’t let it be anything severe, but I’m fearing the worst. That is likely the game and series for the Celtics. Knicks-Pacers rematch from last season in ECF should be fun, if it inevitably happens.

Bridges has been automatic from that midrange fadeaway shot in the paint. Brunson has been on his game and as unguardable as prime Steph Curry tonight. What a Knicks performance. Incredible game.

The margin for error guarding Jalen Brunson tonight equals peak Steph Curry

An absolutely unbelievable 3rd quarter from the Knicks. Celtics have no answer for Brunson and they’re gonna need a monumental 4th to win this game in that atmosphere. Some really awful shot selections to end the 3rd qtr.

Oh man, OG Anunoby pulling his hamstring is so sad. Hope it’s nothing serious…

Mazzulla preached how important the end of quarters were and boy did Tatum make some outrageously far away shots from deep to help pull away a little. #Celtics

The NBA to Mavs: "If you trade Luka to the Lakers and miss the playoffs, we'll get you the #1 pick in the Draft Lottery." I'm here for all the conspiracies this week. 😂

Yup, it is so rigged. How does neither of the three worst teams not make the top 3? Same crap kept happening to the Pistons multiple times last few years too.
