Forget SGA, what was that playcall anyway? Why was Adams still even there? I don't know what Billy was doing with that one.

Btw, with that win, Rockets are the only team in the Grand Floridian hotel with OKC eliminated. Grand Floridian champions, woo!
yeah I am as confused as you are tbh, I'm interested to see what OKC will do next

The Rockets are a better team against the Lakers but if they can't make 3s they will almost automatically lose but we'll see what happens anyway

Not only that. Apparently, Westbrook knew what was gonna happen and there's a side-by-side shot of that play and PG's buzzer-beating 3 against Philly last year that looked to be identical. That's a big oof from Billy.

Man, Heat are legit. They look like a modern version of themselves from the 90's. JB is that dude.


Bad audio but it looks like CP3 is telling some truth about Scott Foster the ref (I know HOU won but CP3 is probably my fave PG ever).

The new head coach of the Nets is... Steve Nash! He used to train with KD back in GSW.

The Heat have a legitimate shot of eliminating the Bucks. MIL is giving up too many threes for a team that’s been great from 3 all season. I also think people forgot how good of a scorer Jimmy Butler can be when the time calls for it, especially in the clutch. I mean he was quite literally the best player for last year’s Sixers team when it mattered.

This is pretty good:
Ja Morant will take a big leap in scoring next year, especially if he shoots more 3s and makes em at a good clip.

the only knock against Butler this seasonwas that his jumpshot and 3 pt was trash compared to other years (around ~20%) but so far he's been able to dispel that doubt, hopefully Miami wins so the entire Bucks fanbase start to panic lol. Also been hearing that Cp3 might be traded to the Bucks or 76ers (would help them so much)
 
It's amazing when people say Giannis should play more minutes after game 1 and 2 and your response is to play Giannis LESS minutes. They're almost certain to lose series unless they can be the 1st team to ever overcome a 3-0 deficit.


Btw, resigning Bledsoe and letting Brogdon go was a mistake. Now we'll see what Giannis does now that he's in the stage where people will question him as RJ did if he has what it takes like Kobe or LeBron before him and then proves that he was THAT guy all along. Can't wait to see him in GSW soon!
 
He's Utah #1 fan, lol. Mad Max :kata:


Holy damn! MIL is about to get 3-0'ed now.
cheesus -_o_-

Milwaukee will definitely go hard after CP3 this offseason. A lot of people are saying that Bledsoe + Lopez Brothers + Ilyasova for Cp3 could work

I think they're more interested in picks + young players. I still believe their plan is to rebuild but CP3 delayed it for a bit (in a good way). I still don't have an idea where he'd go with the enormous salary he has.


LFG! 8-point lead heading into the break.

Gonna be a bumpy ride seeing Lakers fans enjoy a series with Harden and the foul calling. Apparently, they said they can stop him without the free throws...

for Westbrook and Harden, let's not hope that this is gonna be a deja'vu of the 2012 NBA Finals where they won the 1st game against LaBron and lost the next 4 games
