It's not over until it's over. Clips still have a shot at this by winning 2 straight, but definitely not with the way Harden and PG were playing last night. It seems the two of them still have not changed, they would have big games in the beginning of the series and disappear towards the end. Anyways, wish you luck since the odds are stacked against you.
Canucks are playing tomorrow night. Hopefully they can finish off the Predators and not have to come back for game 7.
Good morning stackers.
Day 95 of 100 push ups till $100k completed.
You might or might not know, I really enjoy sharpening tools. Yesterday I was asked to sharpen a commercial pizza cutting knife from a pizza store that I used to work for in my early 20s. It is also the first time that I get paid for sharpening something. It's interesting how a hobby can sometimes turn into something that pays.
Also in the NHL, the Predators managed to postpone Vancouver's party and force game 6. Sorry @gnilma.
That's alright. We will get them on Friday.
With the Knicks vs 76ers game, I don't understand why the Knicks did not foul Maxey on that last play. Such a choke job by the Knicks. Maxey was unbelievable though, congrats to him for a great game and extending the series.
And the Pacers did not play like it was a close out game. The Bucks were down their two superstars, the Pacers had the best chance to close them out. They not only not kept their foot on the Bucks' throat, but they choked and let them take the game. It would be a huge choke job by the Pacers if the Bucks end up winning this series.
Must feel good being James Harden of your group, or even to have a bunch of guys to play with. I lost my basketball buddies to Call of Duty during covid and my skills aren't good enough to play pickup with the young guys at the gym. Haven't lace up my sneakers for a few years now. Probably can't even shoot by now.
I'm not taking that bet. Nuggets are still very good, with Joker holding it down for most of the game and Murray taking over in the last 5 minutes in clutch time. The supporting cast fit well and all are playing their role. As good as the young teams are playing now, I'm not sure if they have what it take to knock out the champ. I guess until they prove me wrong, I still believe Nuggets are coming out of the west.
But it would be exciting to see one of the young teams knock out the champ and get the job done. That's why I'm rooting for them, but I won't put sats on them.
I look at series as is, with injuries factored in. Fact of the matter is, Bucks didn't have Giannis to start, then lost Dame after 3 games, and Middleton is probably going to be playing hurt. Bucks are not getting past the Pacers.
I really like the young teams, Thunder and TWolves. Both teams show that they were capable of playing at a high level and have good chemistry. Also they are just fun to watch. I'm rooting for SGA and his Thunder though.
I'm also counting on the Knicks to eliminate the Celtics. But before that, they need to get past the Pacers first, which I think they should be able to pull it off. We shall see.
If the Clippers can manage to stay afloat (see what I did there) until Kawhi comes back the West may get very interesting.
Nice floating boat reference. Interesting thing is the Clips actually played better the two games without Kawhi than with. It looked like PG and Harden turn it down a notch and just stand around when Kawhi is playing. I do think the Clips are a better team with Kawhi, but he just looks very rusty the last two games he was back.
I'm also enjoying playoff basketball. Teams actually play D. You can see that the games are also much more lower scoring in general, but still exciting to watch.
Canucks game tonight, with a chance to advance to the next round. I'll be glued to the TV and will be cheering for my home team.
Yes. But I guess day 100 will be just another day of 100 push ups. It's become a daily routine for me now.
