Why in the NBA playoffs am I watching the low seeds battling each other and then the high seeds battling each other? This is a violation of sports logic. The highest seed should be playing the lowest seed, and then the next, and then the next.

They don’t re-seed in the NBA playoffs, that’s only a NFL thing

I don't think there's any star in the NBA anymore. The Joker is probably the best player but nobody gives a s*** and he sure as hell doesn't get that respect globally. SGA? Please.

Jordan and Kobe spoiled us I think.

What I'm talking about isn't reseeding...

Golden State would still be the seventh seed as an example.
Minnesota would still be the sixth seed.
The nuggets would still be the fourth seed
Etc..


Nobody got a new seed. We're not handing out new numbers. That's how they used to do it before 2007.

LeBron remains the GOAT, but Jokic has been the best player in the league for 5 years now. He will easily be a top 10 player in basketball history when his career ends.

Anyway, Edwards did show up when it counted tonight so I retract my comment for now. 2 more until the Warriors are finished for good.

Yes I’m talking about reseeding in the general sense like the NFL does (where the top seed will play the lowest seed in any particular round), it’s not done in the NBA anymore. I’m sure they have their reasons.

Warriors played well and were in it but the Wolves were just to much. Steph would've made the difference and he is out. Series isn't over and hopefully they can get the win Monday and have Curry back the following week.

Green fouling out sealed the deal on this game.

Once the Wolves got going the Warriors players knew that they didn't have a playmaker to stem the tide.

Yep, and they just didn't have a finisher. The lead did change a few times in the 4th but not enough star power might doom the Warriors this year. Too bad Curry is hurt and is now trending towards the end of his career.

Kobe was awful in crunch time moments (he just had so many opportunities you remember some of them but had waaay more fails) and was a huge volume shooter. One of the more overrated players to ever win as much as he did. Was fortunate to be on some great teams, though.

Let’s ask Kobe what he thinks about the current state of the NBA.

Hmm… not sure if the silence means good or bad

Yep. The young players on the team all pretty much suck, and the Warriors don't have a first round pick

There is no reseeding.

The NBA doesn't have a good reason for doing what they do. No one can have a good reason for doing it because it's stupid.

I was really hoping NY would win game 3 just so the Celtics could win 4 straight. Oh well.

Thank goodness for Julius Randle. Dude has been a difference maker throughout the playoffs, both offensively and defensively.
