If the pacers were a legit championship contender I would be disappointed in them but they aren't so whatever.

If the Celtics win tonight, we should be hoping for all of the other EC series to go 7. Get some rest, particularly Porzingis.

The world may actually end if Doc Rivers comes back from 3-1 deficit. He’s used to losing those series leads though.

I once again ask WTF are the Clippers playing Westbrick?? Dallas isn't even covering him.. He is 0-5 + 0-2 already. Harden is trying to ISO Luka, and Dallas just sends the double off of Westbrick.

The level of stupid is trying to find a whole new level.

What is Westbrook's career for 500 Alex?

My eyes are killing me. How in this ERA do you have a team with such little outside shooting?? LAC have 50 points passed the midway 3rd quarter. Meanwhile Westbrick ZERO for whatever all while not being covered.... If there was ever a team that needed a Hauser type. But Hey Coach Lue won a title so he must be good.

Just don't believe in Ty Lue.

His system is outdated.

Mavs shooting 3 for 22 from 3 is pathetic for any Pro team.

Playoffs a different animal.

Scoring has gone down in the playoffs.

Playoff pressure and players are playing with more intensity.

Why is part time player Kawhi even included in the olympic team????
If i’m the clippers i’d be mad as hell. You can’t play for your team, and you declare your intentions in playing for the olympics lol.

Crap, i also forgot the most crucial ingredient - Dray getting his dumbass suspended (and rightly so), killing all of the Warriors momentum and letting the Cavs back into the series

Yeah, that could've been the perfect season.

73 wins and lost in the finals.

Felt like the 2008 unbeaten Patriots that lost in the Super Bowl.
