Obviously it’s not as bad as the Luka trade, don’t get me wrong, but is it the worst one SINCE that trade? WTF are the Celtics actually doing, they gave up Jaylen Brown for THAT???? I actually can’t believe it man lmfaoooo.

With the playoffs now in the books and the Knicks being the NBA champions, this got me thinking, what are some of the biggest what ifs from the playoffs this year?

Basically it can be any what if about a team, player, series, health, etc.

What do y’all got as some of the biggest what ifs from this years playoffs?

Allow me to explain.

Lets say Haliburton misses that shot and the rest of that series goes the same (which I admit is a big assumption) then it means we have a game 7 at MSG with the series tied 3-3, and there’s a good chance that the Knicks win that game and make the 2025 NBA Finals with Thibs.

From there, it’s not unfair to assume that the Knicks last year push the Thunder to 7 like the Pacers did, but still fall short.

Then in this scenario, there’s no way Dolan fires Thibs after being one win away from winning the title, which means the Knicks never hire Mike Brown last year.

For the Pacers? Since they get eliminated in the ECF, this means that the Haliburton injury in game 7 of the Finals never happens like in real life.

So the Pacers after losing back to back ECFs, still make some moves in the offseason and still probably trade for Zubac at the trade deadline with a healthy Haliburton.

Then the ECF in this scenario is likely the Knicks with Thibs vs an upgraded Pacers team with a healthy Haliburton, and the Pacers would probably end up winning this series in 6 games, since Mike Brown is a much better coach than Thibs, who never utilized the bench in the playoffs.

This means we get a Pacers Spurs Finals, and I’d like this upgraded 2026 Pacers team to defeat Wemby and the inexperienced Spurs in 5 or 6 games, like how the Knicks just did.

Thoughts? Is this a massive reach? Maybe it is, but I just thought of the potential interesting ripple effects that Haliburton missing that shot might have had on the Knicks, Pacers, Thunder, Spurs, Haliburton, Thibs, Mike Brown, and the NBA as a whole.

I cannot see how many likes each tweet has (some are blank when I know in fact they have tons of likes) and I see blocked/muted accounts tweets on the timeline and on search results. Any way I can contact Twitter support to ask them to fix this?

If not, are there any free extensions or apps on the App Store that solve this problem?

In round 1 vs the Blazers, the Spurs went 2-1 at home and 2-0 on the road.

In round 2 vs the Wolves, the Spurs went both 2-1 at home and on the road.

In the Western Conference Finals vs the Thunder, the Spurs went 2-1 at home and 2-2 on the road.

In these Finals now vs the Knicks, so far the Spurs have gone 0-2 at home and 1-0 on the road.

Interesting a young team like the Spurs are playing better on the road these playoffs than at home.

For anyone who doesn’t watch Soccer, Mbappe is a top 5 player in the World, he played for PSG for a while, and in the UCL (which is the biggest trophy in club Soccer) they made the semi finals countless times with him and made the UCL Final in 2020 with him but lost to Bayern Munich 1-0.

Then in 2024, he left to join Real Madrid, and then Real Madrid haven’t win any trophies since he joined, after they won the UCL 2x in 3 years before he joined, in 2022 and 2024. Meanwhile PSG have won the UCL 2x in a row ever since he left them, they beat Inter Milan 5-0 in the UCL Final last year, and just beat Arsenal on Penalties in the UCL Final today.

What is the NBA equivalent of this? I feel like a good NBA quote to sum this up would be “the dynasty starts after you” quote that Draymond Green said to Dillon Brooks back in 2023.
