3 Biggest WINNERS And LOSERS Of The Second Round Of The NBA Playoffs...

Tim connelly giving mpj a max then leaving immediately was a hell of a move by him bro was low-key working for the wolves longer then we thought 😂😂😂

Biggest winners: Timberwolves, Celtics, Pacers, Mavericks. Biggest Losers: Nuggets, Knicks, Thunder, Cavs.

Shout out to Michael Porter Jr for securing the 100 million dollar contract before the Nuggets realized that he’s trash

refreshing to see a video that's not ruined by dramatic hot-takes and ridiculous click-baity hot-takes... and instead is actual basketball coverage

Jaden McDaniels should be a winner

A big winner for sure is Derrick Jones Jr. Definitely secured his bag for next season.

Haliburton really did amazing in game 7. Wasn't good most of the second half of the year and playoffs even, but he came through in a game they needed him most and was better than the star of the other team. That's real impressive for a guy who was is still so young

Josh Hart was telling Thibs he was staying in. Thibs would ask if he was alright to go, and Hart would give him the thumbs up. The Thibs running players into the ground is a shit narrative. Hart got injured because of overplay, but what else would they do? Play shake Milton or Jericho Sims? Those players would sink the Knicks if they played any significant number of minutes. By the point that Hart got injured, the Knicks were down to scraps, and any coach would play their players that many minutes. No one on the Knicks even came close to the top 10 minutes in the regular season.

If this was Embiid blowing a 20 Point lead in a Game 7 hed never hear the end of it

The Celtics aren’t winners unless they win the championship. Beating 2 injured teams that had no chance of contending even if healthy isn’t a victory, it’s what they’re supposed to do

Joel Embid, oh wait 😂

Y’all keep talking about Knicks hate I ain’t hear him say anything bad about the Knicks All he said was the coach over played the players which is true

OKC should really move Giddey this off season before his stock drops more. Washington for Kuzma and whatever else would make a lot of sense for everyone involved.

Your take on the knicks I definitely don’t agree with! We had a ton of injuries. Tibbs had no choice but to play everyone 42 mins. We didn’t have a bench. You saying to rely on our productive bench?? What bench?? Alec burks?? Name 1 other player we could have played that was healthy on our bench! Sims?? No.

Can we give Luka some credit for fighting through injuries like a beast & getting to the WCF 2 times in 3 years. With 2 totally different rosters.

I disagree on the thibbs thing. It's not his fault some of the players got hurt. Mitchell Robinson, randle, and Bojan was not his fault. And there's no definable data to show that everyone else got hurt cause of him. You want Jacob toppin and Jericho Sims playing minutes? In a playoff game? Hard to do when the margins of victory is that small. He's gonna get paid cause he's the best knicks coach in a long time

Even though I’m sad that the Nuggets lost, I’m happy for the Wolves. I hope they go all the way. Celtics are their biggest competition right now!

Can people stop blaming thibs it had nothing to do with him

Here's the thing. Thibs sacrifices player health for wins. It's a trade-off. They wouldn't be nearly as good if those guys didn't play so much. That's just how he coaches. The team knows that when they hire him, the players know that when they sign there. You may not agree with the approach, but it does get more results with less and will not change. I find it fascinating. It certainly has a negative impact on player health and longevity, however it probably gives his team the best chance to win. He could win a ring with less talent than most other coaches, its just playing roulette as to wether the players will survive all the way through the finals.

Terrible Thibs take. The Knicks had legit no choice, all of the injuries suffered in the regular season (and playoffs besides OG's) were contact plays, injuries not caused by overplaying whatsoever. Heck, you look at the Knicks' minutes, the only Knick ranking in the top 25 in mpg was Jalen Brunson at 14th (a very normal amount of mins for a superstar). Nobody was ridiculously overplayed until they had no choice because everybody got hurt. It's either that or they play literal G-Leaguers in the playoffs, none of that is Thibs' fault.
