  I hope this only goes four. Stan Van Gundy sucks.

  Just now watched the Kobe final half....wow the last 3 minutes. That was so awesome. That was young Kobe for a short stretch and a few of those were amazing for the point in his career and that point into the game.
  
  That was special.

  Thunder win by 38, Spurs on the verge of winning by 30+, and a Warriors team without Curry for half the game win by 26. Think we're seeing the difference between the top of the west and bottom? Memphis and Houston shouldn't even be in the playoffs.

  Hard to believe the Cavs/Pistons was the best game. And looks like it might be the best series from yesterday.

  I doubt the Pistons shoot that well again this series. It will more than likely be a sweep

  I agree. But it's still looking like a competitive 4 games, unlike the other 3 series from yesterday.

I mean I think we all thought a couple years ago a Lebron-Love-Irving core with that cast around them would dominate the NBA. Nobody ever thought a team lead by Green-Thompson and Curry would become one of the best teams in league history and that Curry would dethrone Lebron as the games most dominant player. A finals rematch would be epic

  I'm still interested in how well the Clips play with Griffin back and healthy. Paul HAS to be on a mission and Griffin should want to prove the Clips are actually better with him.
  
  If they can copy game 1 with some regularity this postseason and Curry's ankles play a factor....that series could be tough on GS and while they may not win, they may give the Spurs a better chance.

  I don't think it will be competitive. The Pistons shot 51% from the 3 on 29 attempts and their team average this year is only 34.5%. Once they regress to the mean, the 45 points from 3 goes to 30 from 3; The 15 points turns that game into a 20 point blow out.
  
  The actually shot under their 3 point average this season but not by much.

  Ive said all along I think the Clippers can beat GSW. For whatever reason, they haven't ever closed...but they are always single digit games, that could go ether way down the stretch.

  See I always thought it was OKC. Four years ago it was almost a guarantee they would be the next great dynasty in the NBA, I think they still could shock some people. Durant and Westbrook have the talent
• Ironman92

  

  Durant is borderline dumpster fire tonight. Going to lose Game 2
• Ironman92

  

  Donavan's play calling late a bit suspect IMO
• SportsAndLady

  

  Wow
• Laley23

  

  Durant and Westbrook, only two players on OKC, who knew that tip in was late by Adams lol. That was a funny replay.

  Never said they couldn't. That's a more obvious pick though. No one gives LAC a chance, and I wouldn't be too surprised if that went 7.

  7-33. Yikes.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  Not good, glad to see Toronto bounced back. They have good fans and I would much rather potentially play them than the Pacers though I think the Cavs would sweep either.

  Seriously GSW is 100% moving screen after moving screen. I'm not saying they are the only NBA that does it(they all do) but holy shit its every play.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  lol at him ever being considered for MVP.

  I like watching The Jump on ESPN because McGrady is interesting to listen to but holy fuck Windhorst is fat.
• Lovejoy1984

  

  Celtics down 21-3 with 6m left to play in the first quarter.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  yikes. Fire Brad Stevens, team gave up on him. /skipbaylesshottaek
• sportswizuhrd

  Doesn't help that they were without Bradley and Olynyk.....or shot 18% from three.
