❄NBA "Playoffs Are INSANE 😱" MOMENTS

I am a fan of Golden Hoops. It's the playoffs. Higher level of intensity. You have to prepare yourself for what's in front of you. You have to have confidence, right? You have to have belief. It'll feel a little bit different, more at stake. Both teams know what's up, you know, and that's what makes this fun. You know, you're excited to embrace that challenge for sure. Lean into the competitiveness that we've tapped into. They want to play fast, especially in this building. Green, Shang-Goon! Oh, no! Down by Wiggins, out to Wallace. Wallace attacking, and slamming! Oh, Kayson Wallace! In transition with the stop! I don't know if anybody in this building was expecting this. Least of all, Scottie Pippen. Defense by DiVincenzo. Alexander Walker on the fly. James! He knew that all the way. Tied that out perfectly. Thompson's turned his back. Brunson gets inside. Can't get him, but Robinson with a one-handed slam! Look at you standing. Six points for him. Curry, three. He caught! Oh, he hit that from way outside! Jabari Smith of the Rockets. He and Butler, as I said, 18 apiece. He'll dance. He'll throw up a shot. Oh, my goodness! Are you kidding me? Geometrically, that should not have happened! Wow, what a shot! Look at this. I mean, it's almost like he's running out of bounds and shoots a 25-footer. Look at the arc on this. Making sure Green can't get to Adams. Post to Curry. Thompson comes out on Curry. Three. No way. That's what we're trying to keep. Steve and Adams. Look at the shot clock running down. Stephen Curry with his fourth made. It's a Curry three! Ring it up! Curry with a triple! He's having wars over here. Shot clock at six. Curry just runs in two. And Bam doing a great job taking his time. He's going to have to take that fadeaway. They're willing to give that up. Mitchell! Basket! Oh, my goodness! You see Spider Mitchell. Stolen by Jalen Williams. Seventh in the league in steals. Wiggins to look. Oh, my goodness! Jalen Williams with a one-hand throwdown off the alley-oop. And they're getting numbers. And that is everybody out in the open floor. Perfectly delivered alley-oop for Jalen. Seven on the 24. Pritchard spins. Gets it. Oh! Up and under. Razzle dazzle from Peyton Pritchard. I love when I see smaller players use their footwork. South to Turner. Nembhard on the logo. Crossover on on to Kupo. Blocks! On to Kupo with the swat. Ryan is right here. Lead back up to 19. Doncic has to work expeditiously. And got it to go! Off glass! At the buzzer! Maybe a sign of things to come. 13 frees. And a 52-point lead. Oh! Three-pointer from half-court for Marvin Bagley. He's eight of eight from the floor. Down one in game one. 25 seconds. Westbrook a three. You bet! M. Apples! We talked about it. Jokic again. You gotta watch him. And they made the right choice. They're gonna... Six for seven. Shooting. Great pass. Turner! The flush! Off the dime from Nembhard. No, this two-minute. Nembhard does such a good job of engaging Brooke Lopez. DiVincenzo. Here he is off the wide action. And DiVincenzo... Oh! Pulls it! And laces the deep three! Dante with some dynamite to end the first half. They were looking for Edwards coming off that screen after he inbounded it. But Dante DiVincenzo just... Powering your teammates and playing for defense. Cunningham double-team. Finds Duren. Duren inside. Layup by Thompson and a foul. What a pass from Duren. Hart's trying to make the play. Five to shoot. Gordon. Rages to the rim! Great pace. Factor that every team needs. On the lob! Devastating finish by Adebayo. Donovan Mitchell doing a great job getting in the paint. And then again, Davion Mitchell on the other side throws it up. It's tapped away by Heal. Here he goes high from Butler. Locked away by Eason. He swats it away. Nice defensive play. He's playing handball. Our leading scorer is struggling on the... Square garden never easy. Good transition. Position D by the Pistons. Towns on the attack. Got another one. And then driving and thriving. Here's Harden. Three seconds left. Harden at the horn! You bet! Wow. And he bounces. Boom! 15 in the frame for James Harden. His size just makes him so unique. Mitchell just... They welcomed it. They want this test because it's going to make them better for later. Whatever later might be. Mitchell poked away by Wiggins. Garley's. Getting it done from their backcourt. But right here, this is what I'm talking about. Donovan Mitchell has had solid decisions. Thompson. What a spin! And Banks at home. The speed. I mean, to do this. Clippers out of timeouts. Here's Harden. Going quickly. Floats it up and in! Tied at 98. The float game. Such a soft touch. He decides to... Swatted away by Turner. Up ahead. Topping! With the float out. On the defensive end. Green and Peyton. Post and Curry. Thriving inside. Hopped away. Rejected. Jumped hard. Harris tied up. Back up top. Cunningham fakes. Drives. Goes to the rim. Blocked from behind by Hart. We've seen some... I feel like Harris is doing much better at not settling for those. Doing things like this. Getting to his spots. Uh-oh. Is he in? Allen got the signals. Crawled up. That a bio. Tried to go all the way in. Wall play by Allen. Allen got there. Made the... James. Drives the close out. And punches it home. Brunson. Finds Towns. Towns inside. Hard again. Another back shot. A lot of damage in that run you were talking about, Mike. But Collins. Ball rotates to Rollins. Rollins. On the drive. Blocked by Turner. By the rim. They've made it really difficult on L.A. And Goberk on the block on James. Off and running again. A three on two. And the lead is 11. Another turnover. Butler the other way. And that puts an exclamation mark on this Golden State win in game one. Testament to this Cleveland defense. He talks about their offensive prowess. The defense has been incredible. And speaking of which, Ty Jerome having himself a night. Right here against Tyler Hero. And Bancaro has Derek White in front of it. Inside. Blocked by Harper. Trying to have some of these guys have a little bit of offensive success here to close out the game. Junior John Moran. Bane, of course. But even a guy like Kennard who we've mentioned. Minnesota went after him on the defensive end. Edwards. It's Butler. Minnesota on a run. The game has changed. Towns on the steal. Ahead to Hart. Hart inside. Brunson. Banks at home. Just a tough one point game under three to go. Jokic. Fakes the three. Dishes. Westbrook serves the lead. Center averaging a triple-double. Inside it goes. Curry gets the ball. Ahead it goes. Payton on the release. And he comes in hot and high. Right from the start. First ever playoff meeting between these two franchises. He connects on another three-point. Mike Morzingas. Good defense from Pritchard against the much taller Van Carroll. Alley up to Brown. Lays it up and in. We talk about this Celtic defense again. Orlando. To Randall. Ten on the shot clock. Back out to Reed for three for the lead. Got it. And Minnesota has stormed back here in the early portion of the second. Back up top to Payton. Payton puts up a three. Bang! Cameron Payton from downtown. And the lead is five. There's a lot of time left in this ballgame here. On to the combo. Spinning in traffic. Got some space and laid it in. And it'll be trying to yard Cunningham. Cunningham trying to get on track, shooting the ball. The jumper there is good. That might be his first make against O.J., though, Mike. He wants to absorb this assignment almost. Green. Shot clock at four. Green is on Shangoon. Rockets on a 7-0 run. Here comes Mitchell to the corner. He just keeps on coming for Cleveland. Fires up the crowd. Bogner does the same on the other end. Some sweet moves. If you're a point guard. In this one, plus two for Detroit. Brunson the crossover. Brunson the drive. Flips it up. It's good! And a foul! A circus shot for Jalen Brunson. And the next take is two. The largest of the ballgame for Indiana. Giannis Smith directs in. Bucket. And the foul. You see just a great take. The spacing is there because of the... 4.3 remaining. Knicks do not have a foul to give. Harris pulls off three-pointer. Got it! Tobias Harris from downtown. 22 points for Harris here in the first half. It's Green and Thompson on him. Cutting. Curry. In! What a pass! Timeout Houston! But it's broken up by Mitchell. Multiple steals now in the night for Donovan Mitchell. Hesitation maneuver. My goodness! Timeout Miami! Deflected by Porzingis. That size once again. White and Pritchard. Pritchard stops. Pops. And hits! One of the best defensive teams in this league and have been. But Porzingis... Got Luka in the air. Flow game. Comes out. Got it back. Randle and one. Julius Randle putting some muscle in his hustle. Doubling Brunson now. There's a double. In the lane onto Harris. Flutter is good. On him. And right there. Slices right. So Green is on Curry. Van Vliet. Oh, there's a steal. It's picked up by Eason. Eason has had a career year in shooting. Mid-season trade right at the deadline. Mitchell with a hero step. He's got it all going. Williams on the open floor. Goes through the lane. Puts it up and in. Well, you end up with the number one defense in the league because of great pursuit. And you see it right here. Mike, he recognizes it was Carl Anthony Townsend in front of him. He could get by easily. Hey, this time with a right hand. Count it and a foul. Again, on the other end. Holy cow. I don't know about this well. Unbelievable. Garland. That's a three. Right here, Garland. That right there. You talk about the ball touching. The paint. Lyle living in the paint. It's Mitchell. He's taking out all comers. And he's got a chance at three. Trying to press up on Ed. With pristine, pulchritudinous footwork. Edwards knocks down the middie. And Anobe stops, pulls up. Short shot. That's good. And a foul. Terrific play from Cade Cunningham. And Anobe picks up his second kind of bully. Spack during that Atlanta Hawks overtime. He made almost every single play. Mitchell. Put him in the old spin cycle. He just did. Here's James. Puts his shoulder down. Put his head down. He's got the lay. An imperious. Cunningham. Gets away from Anobe. Alley-oop to Durant. Perfect pass. It's slowing down. I'm in the pick and roll. Okay, I got one.
