NBA playoffs: greatest show on Earth

Smart has one job. Just bother and annoy Middleton.
If he does that the Celtics should be fine.

He wont be matched up on either, but if he can get in greek freak’s or jabari’s head early we win.

Morris will be a lot more effective with Smart’s physical play as well.

Smart dominated Middleton in his 5 minute stretch.

Really, can people just not wear nba jerseys over button down shirts? Can we just not do that?

I'm all for Romney being a fan and talking smack to Russ, but let's just wear something normal.

It's Mitt.

He don't do normal.

Please help me. Am I supposed to feel like Meek Mill is a good human being?
I don't follow the ins and outs of the rap industry, so I'm trying to digest the spin from billionaires like Robert Kraft and the Sixers owners, the fandom from the Philly-area athletes, and the facts (from Wikipedia which I have not cross-referenced) which describe undisputed arrests for gun possession & drug dealing, and then a bunch of arrests for parole violations, some of which may have been due to over-eager and/or prejudiced law enforcement.

So if Joel Embiid is happy for him, should i be?

Mitt Romney wearing a jersey over a button down shirt is like the most predictable thing ever

This is what I love about Las Vegas. They have OKC as either a 2.5 or 3 point favorite even though the Jazz have undressed them the last three games including the last game played in OKC. I'm thinking Jazz finish them off tonight, but I'm always puzzled when Vegas does something that I feel is unexpected (reason #1 I don't bet on sports).

OKC is home. Hard to win clinching games on the road against desperate teams.

Yes, but how desperate is OKC. If the Jazz start out hot, will OKC be able to maintain composure and play "their" game (meaning will Westbrook be able to figure out how to be more effective).

So it's only 4 games, but Donovan Mitchell ranks 7th in career playoff points per game.

All-time.

This is why when people say Ben Simmons is hands down the ROY too quickly, I think they should chew on it just a little bit.

NBA's talent pool is so ridiculous right now. Both guys are so fun to watch.

I can see Russ pressing and ending up like 7-29 with 8 TOs if they start slow.

James!! 44/8/10

 

[longislandcuse]

Greatness right there.

 

[MikeSU02]

James!!

Gets the block on Vic and then hits that three. Absurd. He's the best.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Seriously that block for sure. Amazing!

 

[OrangeDW]

I’m blown away at how easy the Pacers let LeBron catch that inbounds. I mean, shouldn’t you do all you can to make them inbound it to anybody else on the court?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Stupid huge plays on both ends of the court.

Indiana's making him work.

 

[Eric15]

James!! 44/8/10

It's unreal what he has to do every night for the Cavs to win. Its no coincidence that he has by far the highest career "Value Over Replacement Player" in league history.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

My son was going nuts that the block was goaltending. I didn't see it. Is he right?

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Gets the block on Vic and then hits that three. Absurd. He's the best.

The best part of LeBron's game-winner is seeing the euphoric, star-struck kid from Turkey, Cedi Osman, running out to hug LeBron and not wanting to let go.

The block, this shot, the numbers, night in, night out, 15th year; there's a reason he was annointed The Chosen One on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a junior in high school. Root against LeBron and his team all day, it's a constitutional right, but celebrate, don't hate. The guy's body of work is pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Russ at the half:
5-16 FG, 0-2 3pt FG, 4 boards, 3 assists, 3 TOs, 12 points.

Model of inefficiency.

OKC only scores 12 points in the 2nd quarter. No way they are going to win if any part of their offensive game plan is to keep going inside to Steven Adams. Westbrook is just clueless so far. Paul George is the only one doing anything and he has three fouls. Next 12 minutes will determine if OKC can force a game 6.
