Go Wizards. I'll be happy to root for them some more.

To be fair you could do that pretty much every year and find a team that made what turned out to be a bad pick before a great player was chosen.

[MadMan]

Watching LeBron play never ceases to leave me amazed at how fast he is and now he makes things look so easy.

[EyesWideOpen]

That was a hell of a game. The refs did everything they could in the last five minutes with bad calls/no calls to give the Cavs the game but the Bulls pulled it off.

[dreamdead]

Missed the second half of the Cavs/Bulls game, but I'm excited to see what the Bulls do to prevent the inevitable "LeBron drives the lane and forces refs to blow that whistle" play that will become the centerpiece of game 4. Super-excited for this Bulls team to have pulled the game out, especially with Thibs actually letting Mirotic play some. He'll always make a few bad plays, but he gives the team shooting that Gibson and Noah don't have with their hobbled feet.

So proud of the Grizzlies right now. They're a true menace.

[MadMan]

Paul Pierce's game winner was sick. And I wish I had caught the Cavs Bulls game today. I think the Rockets have given up.

That was a crazy ass Rockets-Clippers game last night. The Clippers in LA are up 19 in the 4th quarter and can wrap up the series and then lose by 12.

LOL Clippers. Another great choke job in the playoffs. So happy right now.

So it looks like we'll be seeing Warriors vs Cavs in the Finals.

National media that call Delavadova a dirty player yet defended that guy that went WWE on Love's arm can fuck right off.

Damn right.

Also Warriors in 6. The Cavs are too banged up.

[Skitch]

Cavs in 6. Warriors are deep, but we have LeBron.

As a fellow native Ohioan, this makes me giddy, and I'll always treasure the experience of sitting at a bar and texting a friend amidst the Cavs/Pistons 2007 29-out-of-30 points explosion, but it's hard to argue with the sports science here. The suggestion that the Warriors are the 14th best finals team of all time makes me think there's no way they can't make it past a bad shooting night from Curry/Thompson, whereas the Cavs can't make it without four masterful LeBron games.

Mozgov makes the Cavs so much better, but the Warriors are built so well. Warriors in six.

[Ezee E]

Good game. We hate free throws, but that made a difference.

And J.R. Smith was off. Never want a team to ride on his streakiness.

[EyesWideOpen]

This is going to be a crazy series. The Cavs very well could have been up 2-0 on the road right now.

[dreamdead]

In Ohio watching this series. The fourth quarter of this one hurt, but what a finish. Hard to believe that LeBron didn't get any of those calls in the fourth quarter, but good win. They definitely could have this series in a vice grip rather than battling just to be where they are.

Stupid ISO plays and J. R. Smith braindead defensive plays...

[Pop Trash]

Warriors should have gotten that. The Curry sauce was medium tonight. Better luck Tuesday.

[MadMan]

Wow Warriors. Just wow. James is torching them and Delly had 20 tonight. Curry seems to be off his game at times.

[Skitch]

Curry pooped himself in game two, and majority of game three.

[EyesWideOpen]

They need to play David Lee more. He was their best player for the ten or so minutes he was in this game.

[Pop Trash]

YA'LL FEELIN' THAT SPICY CURRY?!?!
