2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 1 News Thread

Wow. Pacers up 2-1 on the Bucks.

[Superbone]

I see Irving and Harden jacking up shots and I just wish Booker still did that. I don't even care if he's well guarded. But for all that's holy, don't pass the ball to Eubanks with three seconds left on the shot clock!

It was funny how many people here were anti Kyrie when he was available, and now he's exactly what the team needs, a PG who can play with stars, shoots it from 3 and can get to the rim at will.

Unless you need him to get vaccinated to play.

NBA TV rights news:

Prime NBA deal in the works. Amazon Prime Video and the NBA have outlined a deal that would make the streaming service one of the main hubs for NBA games starting with the 2025–2026 season through the next nine years, according to The Athletic. The potential deal with Prime and another reportedly pending with ESPN/ABC leave only one spot left to broadcast some basketball games unless the NBA decides to partner with four networks—an idea the NBA is said to be open to. Right now, it seems like TNT, owned by current game broadcaster Warner Bros. Discovery, or NBC could nab the third spot. Prime has already gone big on sports through a deal with the NFL.

Dunno if this has been posted yet. But Dame Lillard has a "strained" Achilles and may be out. That's a bummer for Milwaukee; they may be in trouble in their first round series. Hope he doesn't play on it and tear it.

KD and 2 1sts for Giannis, send it in

[INFORMER]

That Jrue Holiday contract is really going to end very poorly. Jrue is 33, injury-prone, and his production is down. Pretty incredible that he got that deal.

[Mori Chu]

LOL

[Cap]

LOL

The fact that he is no longer the last guy to do this makes Kendrick much more credible.

Worse 2018 Suns draft pick: Ayton two picks ahead of Luka or Okobo two picks ahead of Brunson?

Ayton over Luka…Brunson developed in the nba. No one thought he’d be this…lots of people expected this from Luka.

But you could also throw Mikal over SGA in there too
