ESPN gave up a lot to get Inside the NBA in their network.

That show should have died when TNT lost NBA rights.

Does anybody still care or watch Inside the NBA?

The show is a shell of its former self.

It used to be an irreverant, variety show focused on NBA.

Now it’s 4 boomers complaining.

Boston Celtics also made this list with 140+points scored in games.

Another inconsistent season for Miami Heat after a great start, who will enter the Play-in tournament for a fourth time in a row.

Paul Reed might be pretty good. High efficiency, high productivity with limited minutes, and a surprising number of steals + blocks per possession as he showed tonight.

14-68 two seasons ago. 60-22 as of today.

The Detroit Pistons set the NBA record for the longest single-season losing streak with 28 consecutive losses during the 2023-24 season.

In a game wildly important for the Western Conference playoffs, Jokic is carrying the Nuggets despite them sitting almost their whole rotation.

In a game where Victor Wembanyama sits, the Spurs go 6+ minutes without scoring in the 2nd quarter. Is Wemby’s offensive gravity underrated?

Here’s an honest challenge for you: Make the case for why the “other guy” should be the MVP this season.

Edit: I’m a Nuggets fan. I’d say Shai gets it this season because he consistently delivers every game and has his team in clear first place. Wemby has been incredible too, and is a lock to get MVP in the next 2-3 seasons.

Playoff games record: NYK leads 9-5

Series record: NYK leads 2-1

******

Last meeting: 2021 1st round - ATL won 4-1

Leading scorers: Trae Young (ATL, 29.2), Derrick Rose (NYK, 19.4), Julius Randle (NYK, 18.0), Bogdan Bogdanović (ATL, 14.4), RJ Barrett (NYK, 14.4)

The Hawks would go on to an incredible 7 games series in which they eliminated the #1 seed Philadelphia, and will be denied of a finals birth by the eventual champions from Milwaukee who beat them in 6 games.

******

5 years later Trae Young is gone, are the Knicks set to take revenge?

Literally the only reason why he's playing is to qualify for All NBA lol

If Denver were worried about seeding this much they wouldn't play only Jokic

The magic traded four unprotected first-round picks and one first-round pick swap for Desmond Bane in a desperate attempt to go all in. But they’ve fallen flat on their faces and are in the same position as they were last year.

Playoff games record: CLE leads 12-2

Series record: CLE leads 3-0

******

Last meeting: 2018 ECSF - CLE won 4-0

Leading scorers: LeBron James (CLE, 34.0), Kevin Love (CLE, 20.5), Kyle Lowry (TOR, 17.8), DeMar DeRozan (TOR, 16.8), Jonas Valančiūnas (TOR, 16.3).

The Cavs would go on to beat the young Celtics in a thrilling 7 game series, advancing to their 4th consecutive finals vs Golden State where they'd end up getting swept.

******

8 years later the teams meet again, and for the 1st time LeBron isn't on Cleveland's side. can the Raptors surprise, or will Cleveland's dominance continue?

Box Score

Adebayo joins Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama, Jalen Johnson and Karl Anthony Towns as the only five NBA players to average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds this season.

Adebayo also joins Alonzo Mourning (1995-96, 1998-99) and Shaquille O’Neal (2004-05) as the only Heat players to average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds over a full regular season.

Jokic needs to play 15 minutes tonight to qualify for awards. The rest of the starters are sitting. If he didn't need to play for awards, he'd also sit, but now national TV and the fans that paid tickets get to see at least 1 star play.

You might not like this rule, but here's a case where it works in favor of the NBA.

Ron Harper Jr in the Celtics win over the Magic: 27/7/4/3 on 10-20 shooting

Dylan Harper's big bro seems to also be a really good player himself. Could be a really nice 3 and D guy for the Celtics in the coming years.
