Agreed…and the Detroit comeback from a 1-3 deficit as a #1 seed ranks up there as well…
OKC Sonics in 6.
Great night in Detroit...
For Cleveland
A close out game for both teams…Pistons didnt show up at home…and got crushed.
Both Eastern & Western Conference Finals are set…should be good
That was so good.
I think I'm slowly becoming a Spurs fan....or maybe just Wemby...what a unicorn!
Couldn't really ask for much more considering how much my enthusiasm for the current NBA is waning with most teams just jacking up threes.
I was thoroughly entertained.
Didn't see it in real time, watching my Canadiens beat Buffalo in Game seven (yes, I have infected yet another non-hockey thread with a hockey post, get over it 
)
Wemby is the real deal, will be fun to watch him over the next 2 decades (hope he stays healthy!!!!!)

What a game, wife and I were pinned to the couch the whole ride. That shot at the end of the first OT was stunning.
Wemby is a friggin monster, he will own the league for the next decade plus if he can stay healthy, he's only going to get stronger and more crafty.
And as refreshing as his play is his maturity...the anti-Ja Morant role model the league has desperately needed.

Spurs pulled that out with their all nba guard out with an ankle injury too.
The other young guards and Wemby are scary core. I’m a big Castle fan because he’s a UConn product. Tough game last night with 11 turnovers. Had a strong 1st quarter and ended up with 17 pts, 6 boards and 11 assists as well though after a great 32 point game in the Wolves close out. Love his defense and physicality though. Reminds me of a 90’s player.
That said, Harper is the real deal. Such a natural scorer. So smooth and crafty around the basket. Of the two young guards he’ll likely end up being the better long term player, especially offensively. An absolute steal in last years draft for a team that had the prior two rookies of the year in Wemby and Castle. Absolutely would have challenged Cooper Flag for ROY if drafted by any other team in the league.
Age 22 (Wemby) 21 (Castle) and 20 (Harper). If they can keep that core together and healthy, this is going to be a fun team to watch for a long time. Not to mention their 27 yo “veteran” all nba guard and a great mix of role players around them.

I agree...great young core and getting better. 11 turnovers cannot be repeated however...they barely won in spite of the turnovers...and if SGA had a normal game (Caruso basically kept them in it single handedly), it might have ended differently with that many turnovers. I wouldn't want to be Holmgren...
What, 11 to’s by a single player is not sustainable. Only the second most ever in a playoff game.
. Definitely the biggest hole in his game right now. Even 3 point shooting has been very good in the playoffs though not he ir Harper shot it well last night.
