thinking basketball podcast my name is Ben

welcome back to another episode, a playoff episode.

And today we're going to talk all about

playoff hot takes, or more like backwards basketball stuff.

We'll get to that in a minute before we kind of get into

the meat of the topics around Yana Sata de Kupo and Pascal Siaucum and just sort of all of the reactionary things that we're seeing.

I did want to start by acknowledging just an incredible series

that wrapped up last night the Eastern Conference semi-finals in the bubble down in

because if one of these teams were if one of these teams the Celtics have moved on. If the Celtics were to lose to the

heat or possibly get to the finals and kind of you know let's say they lose in

five or something like that kind of peter out it's very easy for history

to lose sight of what we just witnessed which was not only a phenomenal series an incredible incredible kind of X-S and O's back and forth series,

and I'm working on a video as we speak about sort of the unfolding and the chess matches

that took place in that series,

but it was not only an incredible series,

but I thought game six was one of the best

NBA games I've seen in years.

And I tweeted about it right after the game when I went back and watched the game a second time I was almost more impressed with it

If anything just in terms of all of the things that happen in that game.

So in game six, the Raptors win the game 125, 122, in double overtime.

They didn't score for something like the last four and a half minutes of regulation.
