We're honest cheaters around here.
:thumbup:

Steph Curry's daughters are 11 and 8. :think:

Sacramento Kings (3) tied with Golden State Warriors (6), 2-2. Comeback from being down 2-0 :clap: . It sucks to make 2 teams from 60 miles apart play in Round 1, though. I don't hate the Kings who still have home court advantage, but Go GSW.

Also:

Boston Celtics (2) lead Atlanta Hawks (7), 3-1 :thumbup:
Philadelphia 76ers (3) defeat Brooklyn Nets (6), 4-0 :|
New York Knicks (5) lead Cleveland Cavaliers (4), 3-1 :thumbup:

I don't hate Miami, but go Knicks. Miami - 3x NBA champion in the 2000s. Knicks - no championship since 1973, not even with Patrick Ewing.

Heat's Erik Spoelstra: Play-in best thing for NBA in past decade

As the No. 8-seeded Miami Heat continue their torrid run through the Eastern Conference playoffs, coach Erik Spoelstra reiterated Thursday just how important he felt the regular season was in forming the mental toughness that has helped steer the Heat to within three games of another NBA Finals appearance....

The Heat, who took a 1-0 lead over the Boston Celtics after a 123-116 Game 1 victory Wednesday night, became the first play-in team to ever win a playoff series after defeating the No. 1-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. The Los Angeles Lakers, who earned a spot in the Western Conference finals, became the second after knocking off the No. 2-seeded Memphis Grizzlies in the first round....

Nuggets sweep Lakers, will make first NBA Finals appearance

LeBron James tried everything he could, including scoring the most points in a playoff half (30 in the 1st) in his storied career, yet it wasn't enough to stop Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets from reaching their first-ever NBA Finals.

In a scintillating playoff duel with James, Jokic turned in yet another (NBA playoff-record eighth) triple-double Monday night to help the Nuggets complete their first playoff sweep in franchise history with a 113-111 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 at Crypto.com Arena.

(article packed full of interesting details and stats)

... With the game tied at 111, Jokic snapped the tie with a driving layup with 51 seconds remaining. On the ensuing possession, James missed a fadeaway 3 but Jamal Murray could not seal the game as he missed a shot inside the paint.

With 4.0 seconds left, the Lakers called timeout. James attempted a drive but could not get a shot off as Aaron Gordon blocked his attempt to send the Nuggets to the NBA finals for the first time ever.
Yippie, win it all!
