I’d switch Dallas to the bottom but similar
Haven’t tuned in until now but Boston has shot way more 3’s and way more free throws…seems odd
2:30 left in OT and Pacers only 3 free throws shot? How is that possible?
I want to point out the free throw discrepancy but god damn the Pacers just blew it, especially Haliburton. I don’t know if the Pacers recover from this.

Well fortunately for the Pacers the games never end
Not being able to inbound, with a timeout, is not forgivable.
But that was a very poorly officiated game.
No shocker as the Cavs fire the head coach

LeBron did it I assume?

Unlikely, but hopefully he really liked Bickerstaff and it turns him off/ keeps him away.

I don’t like winning, either.
Dallas going to wrap this up Tuesday then it’ll be 8 days until the finals start.
KAT has been absolutely miserable this series.
Mavs guards just unstoppable when it matters. It’s too hard for TWolves
Great games but Dallas just gets it done
Actually kind of amazing that one series ended 4-0 and the other is 3-0 currently, considering that only one of those seven games finished with a double-digit margin of victory. I'd think law of averages would say that with so many close games, it'd be a near-guarantee that both series would at least go 5 and probably 6-7 games. But both of them have come down to one team just being consistently better in clutch time.
What a garbage call to give Doncic a chance for 4 point play
Lakers out of nowhere narrowing on Dan Hurley for their coaching spot after it seemed like it was Reddick’s to lose. Makes sense, an asshole coach for an asshole franchise.
It seems Hurley does not want to deal with LeBron
Windhorst blasted Luka
Boston attacking right at Luka is smart….very smart
Well Dallas, can you do it three more times to make history? Or did Boston just want to win in front of their home crowd?
Hard to believe that Boston GAF very far into this one
I think this happens quite often actually. Team goes up 3-0 without blinking, then trailing teams win game 4 and everyone is wondering if a comeback could happen only for game 5 to be a blowout.
I was thinking the other day I should bet Dallas to win tonight and Celtics to cover game 5 with the over on Tatum’s points because he’ll want to win it in Boston and be finals MVP.
Why did the Pistons hire Monty Williams for 6 years $80 million?

Him getting fired irritated me.
They’re a trash franchise and have been forever. Last winning season was 2015-2016 and they’ll likely be a top three worst team next year as well.
They threw a bunch of money at him because they probably had to. They played awful because they’re an awful team then fire him after one season and get to rinse and repeat WHILE paying him the remaining $65 million to not coach the team.

It’s crazy
$78,000,000 for 14 wins and eventual firing. Ridiculous.
