Let's discuss the National Basketball Association
Folks, looks like there were two communities created and that one is move active/more subscribers, so no point in having both. See you over there!

https://lemmy.ml/c/nba@lemmy.world Or [!nba@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/nba) is the community I’m talking about. Seems to have gathered more people. Don’t know why, but in these quickly changing times chance is probably a big factor. No reason multiple communities can’t survive, but realistically, as we know from Reddit, one will often dominate. Sorry for the mod here if they were keen to start a community. From what I understand, moderators of a community need not be all on the same instance, so maybe you could help out over on lemmy.world. It seems they might want it too. Lemmy.world should be a stable instance as it’s run by [@ruud@mastodon.world](https://mastodon.world/users/ruud) who runs a number of instances including a fairly large mastodon one.
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.one/post/86267 > Considering LeBron went through a number of finals runs in his peak where he hit a few game 7s, I was surprised he had never achieved this
Not that he couldn't resign with Toronto, but I think he could be the biggest FA in a weak FA year
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1225182 > Do you think the Nuggets win it all tonight? Or will the zombie Heat hang on to win and keep the series going?
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro, who was officially upgraded to questionable Monday, is expected to dress and attempt to play in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, sources told ESPN.

Who you got tonight?
[Box score here](https://www.nba.com/game/MIA-vs-DEN-0042200402/box-score). Who's going to win the series? Jokic had a huge game yet the Nuggets lost. Seems like Miami's defensive gameplan is to let Jokic score and lock everyone else up.
