The 2023 NBA playoffs have delivered entertaining games at every stop.

The first two rounds saw a No. 1 seed fall, a sweep and handful of all-time great series-clinching performances. The conference finals round has picked up where the last left off with enjoyable matchups.

Social media has had an interesting perspective of the action through it all. Here are some of the trendiest moments of the postseason.

Schroder’s revenge

Dennis Schroder created a new meme in Game 4 of the Lakers-Warriors series. After a timely turnover by Draymond Green, Schroder immediately turned and smiled in the face of the Warriors forward.

in the final minutes of the second quarter during Game 4 for “deliberately” making contact with Golden State Warriors’ Game 7 win against the Sacramento Kings as “the Steph Curry game.” There might not be a better way to summarize the matchup.

Curry shot 20 of 38 with seven 3s for a playoff career-high 50 points, which is the most in a Game 7 in NBA playoff history.

“There’s no failure in sports”

The Milwaukee Bucks owned the NBA’s best regular season record and opened the playoffs as the betting favorites to win the championship.

However, their postseason run was abruptly ended by the heroics of Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat. After Milwaukee’s 128-126 overtime loss in Game 5, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo gave an inspiring post game interview where he articulately explained why he doesn’t view the season as a failure.

New York state of mind

Josh Hart has fully embraced the Big Apple since being acquired by the New York Knicks in February 2023.

Hart had a unique way of expressing his love for the city in the team’s opening series against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
