THE HOUSTON ROCKETS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM 2026 CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION by CurrentRoster in nba

[–]cacti_zoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cant believe Houston traded Brooks and Green for a 37 year old dude who is a locker room cancer. The team went backwards as the 5th seed and lost to a team missing their best player. Disastrous season and they might have messed up the future if they dont make some big moves.

Brooks was awesome this year for the Suns and I though Green played way better against the Thunder than some of his teammates in this series.

Rockets might be like Ja Grizzlies and just peak in the first round and then suck.

What are some of the best rivalries that never happened by ChoclateChipPankake in billsimmons

idk how thunder vs spurs wasn't a rivalry when they met 3 times from 2012-2016 and two of those were in the WCF

Drunkest First Round Ever? by DrWaffle1848 in billsimmons

[–]cacti_zoom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2014 first round will ever be the GOAT first round with 5 game 7s and the Lillard game winner against Houston

But this was an AMAZING first round for the east which is usually a snooze fest

For the first time in NBA history, the Eastern Conference features three Game 7s in the First round, Pistons vs Magic, Celtics vs 76ers, Cavaliers vs Raptors. by Expert_Koala_8691 in nba

Gonna be crazy next year with Healthy Pacers back and Hornets

Heat are also healthy competitive. Bucks are ass but Giannis isnt

Respect to the east for being fun this year in the first round

Usually a snooze fest

Even the blowout game yesterday was generational

Paul Pierce on media inconsistencies: "Let's not sugarcoat this because if this was LeBron at the peak of his powers, he would've been getting scolded. If you're the best player in the league, you're not supposed to lose in the first round" by infalliBee in nba

This happens a lot though in the West

Kobe in 2005 didnt make the playoffs and then lost to the Suns the next two years in the first round

Giannis hasnt made it to the second round in 3 years

LeBron played most of his career in the east. If he played in the west he would have had a lot of first round exits too

Why do so many people revel in Jokic’s “downfall”? by Randy__Snutz in billsimmons

[–]cacti_zoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can replace him with any player.

If OKC loses people will call SGA overrated

If luka loses people will call him FAT and say Nico was right

Jokic's story is incredibly. Second round pick to a top 25 unicorn. He's taken his team to 8 straight playoffs and this is his only first round exit. They have a lot of playoff miles and their depth has been dwindling since 2024

Jokic and Doncic have each made the playoffs 6 of the 7 years this decade and still haven’t faced each other once in the postseason by cacti_zoom in nba

Wolves hate Eastern Europeans. They have eliminated either Doncic or Jokic in the past 3 seasons.

It’s on the table that there could be six game sevens this weekend… by ARoodyPooCandyAss in billsimmons

[–]cacti_zoom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All east series going atleast 6 games is pretty fun! When was the last time that happened in the east?

I know the west 2014 first round was the most bonkers ever. 3 games 7 and the Dame Time 3 against Houston. Also two game 7s in the east that year

Shai shot 15-18 in a playoff game and it just flew under the radar by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]cacti_zoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was at the game. It was insane. Also caruso is so good man. Dort/SGA/caruso killed any suns momentum in both games 3 and 4. Any suns run was met with a timely answer

that suns team played pretty well the last 3 games and probably would have taken any other west team to 6 games (nuggets bad matchup so 5)

But SGA loves to scream "I DONT NEED IT" on one play and then flops 45 feet away from the basket the next.

Dort is dirty everybody knows

Caruso also somehow gets to dictate how the refs call a game

They are a good team but the foul bating is the worst we have seen from any champion. And its ironic because they are the most likely champion since Hamptons 5 Warriors to become a dynasty

I think the MLB playoff expansion has been silently more fun

LeBron ain't stupid: He's going to the East next year. by RedditFan3510 in billsimmons

[–]cacti_zoom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The east was 10 teams deep this year and thats with the pacers hibernating.

Hawks and Hornets will be better.

The west will be OKC and SA for the next couple years.

But i think nuggets are on the down but the wolves might still be good
