OT, from the man formerly known as kinbote: If you want to read a lot about chess (and whatever other random stuff floats through my brain) this offseason, I finally got around to doing some writing on my substack blog. It's not quite at E1P level, but hopefully interesting if you're into that sort of thing.

Wow. One game played across all series, and the home team and favored seed won every game.

OKC crowd showed up big time though. Miss the days when we had a crowd like that

I like OKC. I don't love them, but I do like them. Also that was a fun game. I like the close ones

That was a goaltend by Chet, no? That ball was in the air for pretty long before it got blocked

There were so many plays in the closing minutes that wasn't taken advantage of by the Pels lol. Draymond would have gotten his teammates easy ass dunks

That block by Holmgren may have just turned the game for OKC.

OKC getting so many 50/50 calls, imo… some rough “moving” screens (pretty sure Williams hooked Jones on one of them), the Holmgren block that might have been a goaltend…
