Pathetic display of basketball by the Sixers the past 2 games. Doc will get fired due to another cursed playoffs and Harden will go back to Houston.

Harden will return to his stripper boos in Houston, Udoka must have known when he signed.

Jimmy with another MJ performance

So Nuggets are up 2-0. I dont see how Lakers can win this at this point.

After an awesome WC/EC semis, finals are turning out to be a disappointment. It appears Lakers are going to get swept while Boston are also are on danger of the same having lost both home games.

Anyway Nuggets vs Heat should be interesting. My money would be on Nuggets for sure.

The games have been close but bad luck from an entertainment perspective the same ones won them.

Congrats to the Nuggets on making it to their first Finals

and congrats to the Heat as well. 2nd time in 3 years Finals bound #FuckBoston

Cowboys

THAT'S RIGHT! there isn't a team in Boston I like even a little......

well except that ONE TIME the Redsox came back from 3-1 and beat the Yankees that was sweet to witness cause #FuckYankees

Back to back. I'll believe someone can beat Jokic when I see it happen.

I can't decide whether to predict the Warriors make the finals or somehow lose to Kings in play in game

This prediction could go really badly

Clippers def. Bucks (def Celtics), Nuggets (def Suns), Thunder (def. kings), and Mavs to win Championship

Glad I didn't pick them to make the finals!

Unbelievable the KINGS lost 6 straight games to the Pelicans

That Sixers loss was sickening

Watching the Nuggets come back against the Lakers like it was nothing was the most significant thing to happen today. I just can't see anyone beating them 4 times.

Jmart probably in driver's seat for the win here unless Dametime Bucks are for real and can somehow take out the Knicks. Don't see it from Indiana.

Happy to see Cavs handling the Magic pretty easy. Hoping they can hang with the Celtics but we shall see. A championship is obviously #1 desire, but the more realistic goal is getting Mitchell to sign the extension and he won't do that unless they prove they can be consistent contenders.

Their coach was trying to call time out TWICE! fucking REFS!

Mavs in 6

I could see Pacers being a future NBA champ with this year being like when the Warriors beat Nuggets in Rd 1 or lost to the Clippers in 13/14 range
