Yeah the Raptors fighting back with DeRozan on the bench was actually really impressive. I could see them winning game 4 and maybe even 5 now.


Yeah, about that :funny:

LeBron James’ game is on another level in these playoffs. The rest of the Cavs finally showed up against Toronto, but he pretty much single-handedly dragged the Cavs past Indiana.

CP3 wanted that game sooo bad. Amazing game in the last quarter. Congrats to him for finally making it to a conference finals.

Half right. I knew Philly wasn’t ready. The Thunder really stunk though.

For being a 5 game series Celtics Sixers was great. Tatum might end up being better than any of the Sixers

See... this is why nobody takes you seriously. Like... you know who Joel Embiid is, right?

He averaged 15/5/3 against the Bucks. And he had a good March.

He's not even in the same stratosphere as Embiid.

You are correct. Put some respect on Embiid’s name guys!!!

Tatum is probably going to be pretty good, but Irving and Hayward will return next season, and his usage will drop. Though that will be a pretty solid 3.

Well that's why I said might.

Tatum is 4 years younger than Embiid and arguably just outplayed him in the series. His playoff run for a rookie is historic right now, only legends have done something like his 7 straight 20 point games in the playoffs

First time ever?

I like Budenholzer, but he was also swept by LeBron two years in a row.

It's actually happened to a Masai Ujiri team before (George Karl), although Casey hasn't won the official coach of the year award, he won one voted on by coaches only which probably favored him for being the older guy who paid his dues vs Stevens. I think Stevens deserves it

Budenholzer is a good coach but it would be hilarious to fire Casey only to hire a coach who's 0-8 against Lebron in the playoffs

The Celtics were great, but the Cavs missed a lot of wide open shots, especially during the Celtics first run. I have all the confidence in the world in the Celtics defense, but I don’t expect the Cavs to shoot that horribly again.

Houston's offensive strategy is not bad against GSW (Use Harden like Finals Kyrie, iso ball to take advantage of switches and reduce turnovers) but they have no chance to defend Golden State

I was at the game and man it was good for one half. Then the Rockets did what they do against great teams. Turn the ball over n make dumb choices on the offense. This series is OVER!!! Maybe they’ll win one game but most likely get swept.

Will Tatum’s shoulder block be in his career highlights? It certainly turned LeBron into a shell of himself in the second half. Kelly Olynyk must have showed him some moves on the way out.

Though the Cavs probably would have lost anyways. All of Boston’s role players (aka the whole team) are looking like max contract all stars right now. And the Cavs just can’t find easy buckets against that defense. I think Cavs will win both games at home with ugly scores like 88-82. They just have to stretch the series out and things should be fine. But if Boston wins even one in Cleveland then the series is over in 5.

Heading to a Finals where I'm going to hate both teams. But it will be nice to see Golden State just absolutely jack stomp the Celtics.

If Celtics vs Warriors happen then there is NO GOD!
