The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[kaibooster21]

I can’t recall. But when was the last time the East and West Semis were both in a commanding 3-0 record going into Game 4?

Last Year with Denver and Miami up 3-0 against the Lakers and Celtics respectively


edit: but if were going further before last year, it was in 1957 with Boston playing Syracuse Nationals(Philadelphia 76ers) and St Louis(Atlanta Hawks) against Minneapolis(Los Angeles Lakers)

Well TBH the Pacers overachieved. Reaching the finals is already a great milestone for that team.

The Wolves though. Didn't expect them to get swept or lose 3 straight at least.

Sir Weird,

despite being swept by a more experience Celts.

it's no brainer that coach Rick had a right tool to go deeper again next season hoping Hali, PS, MT and the rest of those young guns are healthy along the way.

there's a lot of good prospects on the coming draft without last year's Wemby atmosphere and the Pacers mgmt. should invest on it

same thing on the Knicks side, they've already had the right pieces but should also invest on the coming draft as well.

I hope coach Rick and coach Thibs should be retained.

Luka is just tiers above Antman. Boston- Dallas would be interesting given the subplots (kyrie and Kristaps)

Damn Luka just embarrased the wolves on their own home court

Game was already over at half time, if this Luka shows up at the finals, Boston is in trouble

Boston has the better over all roster but Luka is tiers above Tatum and Brown, should be a good series

Similar to the 1992 and 1993 NBA Finals. Portland and Phoenix had better overall rosters, but Jordan was clear of Drexler and Barkley.

Jrue Holiday might be the key player for Boston and Derrick White... If they can limit Luka and Kyrie's production then they have a chance, Those two should more focus on defense if they want the hang their banner 18 to Garden...

I am a Boston fan. But the way Dallas easily disposed of the T’Wolves scares me.

It will be an exciting matchup in the Finals between Boston and Dallas. No dominant big man in the paint. This will be a fast-paced series with a lot of 3-point shooting.

Also Kyrie is returning to Boston which will be a motivation for him.

Boston in 6 games.

Boston can finally face a healthy team.

Boston can finally face a healthy team.

We will see a COMPLETE Boston team with Porzingis around.

Who will be the best defenders for Dallas? Boston has the two best defenders in the league - White and Holiday. Brown and Tatum are good two-way players as well. Horford is a good post defender.

Luka and Irving are both defensive liabilities. Who will be their defenders? Mind you, offense can disappear but not the defense.

seeing washington jr and derrick jones..

are they any better than Holiday and White?

people tend to overlook Boston but look at the composition of the team.

the 1-2 punch of Tatum and Brown are stars that have two-way capabilities.

Holiday and White second team all-defensive players this year.

Horford is still a good post defender and rebounder at this point of his career.

Porzingis is the third star in that line-up that easily give the team 20 points.

Pritchard is the Celtics' Steve Kerr.

Their problem, though, will be their 8th-12th man.

[The_Big_Cat]

Boston was 2-0 vs Dallas in their regular season matchup.

Boston (home) 138
Dallas 110


Dallas (home) 110
Boston 119

Tatum and Doncic averaged 30 plus points in those two games. Porzingis missed the second game.
