You might need a put them out of their misery rule for that system. If one team is up more than 50 points cumulatively (at the end of a game so you get full games) then the series is over. Miami potentially could have been knocked out after one game.

Good point. That was so frustrating as a Yankees fan.
I am impressed with the depth of talent in the NBA. But I am not a fan of the super aggressive game style that is being allowed by the referees/league. I will watch some playoffs with my family, but I cannot be a fan of the league with how it is being officiated.
OKC showed that tonight.
Yes, Cer!
Pacers are 5-3 when they go down 15 or more in playoffs this season

Their record is even more impressive when they score more points than their opponent
Pacers didn’t follow the analytics… 
Time to change the title to note something big happening in a big city.
Price looks high, even for the Lakers?
The forbes list on wiki has them at $7.1B, guess they will need to update that.
Or Mark Walter should have looked at the list before buying!
Maybe they come bundled with the National Guard?
I can’t believe we got our hands on Kevin Barkley!

Once we get to July 6 [so more appropriate for the 2025-26 thread, coming soon]: Soon-to-be 37-year old Kevin Durant to Houston for:
- Jalen Green [#2 overall in 2021]
- Dillon Brooks [serviceable SF]
- #10 overall in 2025
- #59 overall in 2025
- A 2nd in 2026 [Houston’s]
- Another 2nd in 2026 [TBD, could be any of 7 other teams]
- A 2nd in 2030 [from Boston]
- A 2nd in 2032
It looks like a lot, but with NBA trades the saying is “whoever gets the best player wins the deal” and even if this just gets the Rockets a couple of years to go for a title, that package is well worth it.
It is.
