This is the best kind of Game 7. Everyone is healthy, and the presumed better team just got beat
Heat fans: That's what the Game 7 should look like. All the staff are healthy and desperate. Even if you have all the advantages, you will be killed if you are careless!

Incredible mental fortitude from the Wolves. 20 point comeback to knock out the defending champions. AWOOOOOOOOOO!
Spurs fans: The Timberwolves are really an iron willed army! How about falling behind 20? What about the defending champion? Sincerely know that victory is not easy, wolf cubs take their lives! Ow, Ow, Ow!

It's crazy how a team that has what is considered the best homecourt advantage in the NBA lost 3 of 4 at home. In a competitive series at that.
Fans: It is unimaginable that a team recognized as having the most obvious home advantage could lose three of the four home games. This round of series competition is so fierce!
[–]Lakersawkotacos 545 points an hour ago
Fun but weird series to watch
Lakers fan: It's really a wonderful and weird series

Giving up completely in game 7 down only 7 with 30 seconds to go is crazy
Jazz fan? Digging gold is really unreasonable!

Just look at tonight's win probability.
Denver had a 97.4% chance of winning with 10:21 to go in the 3rd
Magic fan: I remember when 10:21 was left in the third quarter, I saw that the probability of Denver's winning reached 97.4%!

I…I turned the game off at halftime. It was becoming a blowout. I hate myself
Fan: At half time, I turned off the TV. I thought it was another massacre. I hate myself!

As a Minnesota fan, I don't blame you, we usually blow it.
Timberwolves fan: As a Timberwolves fan, I don't blame you. In this case, we will basically mess up!

Eat shit Scott Foster.
Nuggets fan: This referee Foster really should go to hell!
[–]TimberwolvesAlexeyShved1 187 points 2 hours ago
The lights were too bright for Scott tonight, dude played so hard trying to keep Denver in it towards the end but just couldn't
Timberwolves fan: Foster really stole the limelight today. He wanted to extend his life to Nuggets after playing for his life. Unfortunately, he was defeated after all
[–]PacersTheBoilerCat 185 points 2 hours ago
I absolutely can’t believe someone blew a 20 point lead in a Game 7 today and it wasn’t us…
Pacers fan: I can't believe that a team can lead by 20 points and be overturned in the tiebreak 7? If so, we are not walkers

The game seemed really over once Gobert hit that turn around jumper to beat the shot clock.
Lakers fan: When Goebbels turned over to make a jump shot and scored at the buzzer, the game was over
[–]Heatmryessirskiii 3022 points 2 hours ago
If Rudy Gobert starts hitting turn around jumpers (on the reigning MVP and NBA champion no less) just pack it up man
Heat fans: In the face of the undisputed MVP and the strong defending champion, Goebbels turned over to take a jump shot and was sure to kill! Seeing this scene, what can the opponent do? Get some bedding and go home
[–]KnicksTSSFranco 2955 points 2 hours ago
Can’t say enough about Gobert going 7-9 from the line in this lol
Knicks fan: 7 out of 9 on the free throw line. Gobel is a real bull today!

Legacy defining game from KAT
Nets fan: After tonight, who dares to say I'm Donald?
[–]Raptorsthrowaway1 588 points an hour ago
Iv called KAT soft for years, gotta give him his due tonight. Brilliant on both sides of the ball
Raptors fan: For several years, I have been laughing at Downes as a soft guy. Tonight he won respect! Both ends of attack and defense are as stable as Mount Tai!
[–]Lakersincredibleamadeuscho 574 points 2 hours ago
In the biggest game of his life, Karl Anthony Towns was the best player on his team. He played like a number one overall pick.
Lakers fans: In the battle of career, Tang Si stands up to be the first wolf! When I came to the Jedi to show my talent, I was the No. 1 Scholar in that year!

McDaniels and Reid woke up today and chose violence..
Celtic fans: Mike Daniels and Reed are also aware of their blood tonight. They are full of wolves!
[–]LakersRabbitWolfie 954 points 2 hours ago
Naz Reid played some of the best defense of his life. Guarded bigs and guards
Lakers fan: Reed showed his best defensive performance in his career. He can defend big and small!

71 points for Jokic/Murray - 21 for the rest of the Nuggets.
Fans: Jokic/Murray scored 71 points, and the rest of the Nuggets added up to 21 points
[–]NOCTVRNAL1 396 points 2 hours ago
6 players in two-digit scoring for the Wolves. Nuggets only had Jokic and Murray. The Nuggets just lost because the team played like ass.
fan:
Said that two people are strong, it is not strong, pig teammates have cold hands, and it is useless to cut the liver and cry blood!
If six people are strong, they are really strong. They want to be king in a rush, Minnesota Timberwolves!

5 consecutive seasons champs knocked out by second round. That’s crazy
Fan: It's strange that the defending champion can't pass the second round for five consecutive seasons!
[–][GSW] Stephen Currysergechewbacca 1737 points 3 hours ago
Winning the MVP is a curse for the post-season.
Warrior fans: And winning the MVP will only bring bad luck to the next playoffs!
[–]HawksN8ThaGr8 1040 points 3 hours ago
Last MVP to win a ring the same season was Steph in 2015. And this includes scenarios like Giannis winning two in a row but getting his only ring the next year, and now joker winning 3 in 4 years with his only ring being the year he didn't win it.
Hawk fans: The last MVP to win the championship of the season was back to Curry in 2015. There is also the letter brother's MVP for two consecutive years, but he won the ring until he didn't get the MVP the next year. Teacher Yue won the MVP three times in four years, and the only ring was obtained in the year when he was not an MVP.
