Frankie N is a professional basketball player. Not an all star, not even a starter, but a contributer on an elite team. Those who label him as "trash" and such are still working out their "Phil Triangle Pick" hate.Frank threads never die!
I loved Frank for his defense, and it is no surprise that he is hugely valuable to a contending team as a defensive stopper you put on your opponent's top attacker when deep in the playoffs. Essentially, a valuable role-player for a contending team. The Knicks needed him to do much more, while they could aspire to much less as a team. So, the Mavs are a better fit for him, and I am glad that he is finding playoff success there.
Now this is interesting. Quick was also one of the players Mitchells old coach said not to trade in a trade for him.
Two game sevens, hope they're good!- think both teams I want to win will lose! (Bucks and Suns)

I am actually going to watch these. Bucks vs Bos been great in general and I want to see if CP3 will choke in the playoffs again or advance. This might be the best chance he ever has at winning a ring.
I hope the refs don't decide.
I notice how often teams are hunting bad defensive players. We refused to hunt Trae during the playoffs. He actually got to rest on D since he was playing Reggie.
Wow. That was not an offensive foul by Tatum. Embarrassing and shameful call.
Bucks keep ALMOST digging into the lead.
Last few minutes:
Jrue almost converts the And1. Missed free throw.
Jrue 3pt in and out.
Portis missed dunk.
Lopez almost converts the And1.
Instead we got a 22pt game and a Heat/Celtics conference finals to look forward to.
Whenever I felt bad about rooting for the Celtics, I look at Grayson Allen's face and feel a whole lot better.

I deeply dislike every team beside the Knicks.
Never take anything for granted.

I root for the laundry always. Other than that I root against -- Nets and Lakers; KP, Harden and all the floppers. My petty, bitter solace.
Man we'd be tickled if the players on the Celtics wore the Orange and Blue.
Luka is not playing games.

It’s the second quarter and they should sit Chris Paul until next season so there’s no chance he gets injured.
Although his ego is probably already hurt.
Holy cow, didn't expect these lopsided wins.
Haven't really watched any games but didn't think Dallas was this good.

Not to take a shot at our favorite ex-Knick, but seems to me it all began to turn around for the Mavs after they jettisoned KP. Also will give credit to Jason Kidd- maybe not goodest of guys but seems he can coach a bit.

100% on all of this
Other than the uniform, I like that Celts team. I had no dog in that fight. I like both.
KP gone and kidd is coaching his ass off.
Like all im suprised. I watched the Ranger game. Good NY moment!!!

Oof, two of the worst game 7's I've seen in a while, Bucks and Suns mailed in two absolute stinkers!
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns was clearly hurting at the end of his team's first round series against the Memphis Grizzlies. The injuries were enough that Towns underwent several surgeries following his final game of the season.
Towns underwent stem cell treatment and platelet-rich plasma injections in both knees, his left ankle, left wrist and right middles finger on Friday. Towns chose to play through the injuries during the playoffs. He elected to have the procedures done now in hopes of being fully ready for training camp this fall.Towns was dealing with pain in both knees, especially his right knee, which he wore a sleeve on during the playoffs. He also had a cyst in his left ankle, a subluxated left wrist with ligament damage and an aggravated joint on the middle finger of his right hand.
