Giannis looked like garbage in the 4th

Dude looked completely lost...there was a possession where Harden was defending him and instead of posting up an injured Harden, he bricked a fadeaway mid range jumper....one of the most bizarre things I have seen.

KD was fun as hell to watch.

Kawhi out for game 5 and could miss the series.

CP3 out indefinitely because of COVID protocol. What an effing joke.

Yepp, remember that vividly. Announcers giving Giannis a hard time for not challenging Harden's injury. Then you have that drive by Jrue Holiday on Harden where he goes right at em and gets an easy layup. Also the dropped easy dime from Middleton where all Giannis has to do is secure the ball and go up for a dunk. I think the guy is obviously a freak athlete but he does have limitations. Needs to be more disciplined.

A league that heralds a "flu game" as an all time great moment is considering making an all time great player miss part of a conference finals because of a disease that poses about the same risk to him and his teammates as the flu. You absolutely hate to see it.

I honestly feel bad for Chris Paul. Can't catch a break in the playoffs. Also funny to see "But Lebron" trending on Twitter.

Not just any knee injury:

Clippers fear All-NBA star Kawhi Leonard has suffered an ACL injury, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. He is out indefinitely.

The Jazz just basically got a clear path to the Finals if Leonard and Paul are out indefinitely.

Reading that CP3 tested positive?

Hawks have been a terror since early March. They are literally 60 years removed from their last trip to the Finals in 1961 when they were still in St. Louis.

Yeah, but he didn't have a contract. He just really liked the 624s.

Quinn as dumb as Pop. You got a guy who shot 70% in first half including threes and he gets five shot second half while your point guard playing on one leg shoots 13 shots and super sub goes 2-12.

Ducking idiots.

Remember the Hoop It Up three on three tournaments? I'm starting to think Kevin Durant could probably when one playing solo if he could get one or two stops..

In the Brooklyn Nets Milwaukee Bucks Eastern Conference Semifinals, the home team has won every single game. If that trend holds up in Game 7, the Nets will either travel to Philadelphia or host Atlanta for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Top seeds Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz are facing elimination games on the road.

I hope that Bud, Giannis and the Bucks win, and I've seem them play OK when desperate, but I worry that when crunch time comes, Giannis doesn't have it, doesn't want to be fouled and go to the line, and the Bucks will disappoint.

Again, I hope I'm wrong.

In a perfect world, Middleton and Durant would collide and knock each other out of the game, and it would come down to who can hit a big shot between Giannis and Harden. 50 overtimes later, they would still be tied.

Pretty sure that should be a defensive foul on Collins

Wonder if they actually eject the Hawks players that left the bench

I'm thinking they don't eject anyone but we'll see in about ten minutes, lol

Rudy Gobert is a defensive liability. His stats are all BS. Against a decent offensive team he is useless.

Clippers were attacking him from inside and out. The choices are limited for defensive player of the year because no one plays defense these days.

Same thing the Rockets used to do to him. Jazz, and Gobert, are just regular season flat track bullies.

After the Los Angeles Clippers trailed the Utah Jazz 75-50 with 11:35 left the 3rd quarter, the Clippers outscored the Jazz 81-44 to win Game 6 and advance to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in their 50-year franchise history. The Utah Jazz finished with the NBA's best regular season at 52-20, but their season came to a crashing halt after blowing a 25-point lead in a must win Game 6.

The Clippers have made a bizarre run to the Western Conference Finals. In the first round, the Clippers lost their first 3 home playoff games, but somehow won all 3 road games at Dallas. That was the first ever 7-game series in which the road team won all 6 games before the Clippers defeated the Mavericks 126-111 in Game 7 at home, just to advance to this round. Since losing the first 2 games at Salt Lake City to trail 2-0, the Clippers have won 4 straight games.

The Phoenix Suns were probably not expecting to play Western Conference Finals Game 1 on Sunday because they thought the Jazz would force a Game 7 after jumping out to a 25-point lead. Still, the Suns will have 6 days of rest before hosting the Clippers on Sunday. Of course, Chris Paul will be out indefinitely due to Covid-19 protocols.

Quinn Snyder can join Bud and Doc as coaches earning plenty of heat this round.

Lost 3 in a row after having a 3-1 lead last year.
Lost 4 in a row after leading 2-0 lead this year and the Clippers losing their best player.



I think part of the problem with Snyder and Bud is that they really do well with lesser talent in the regular season that sets an expectation that is never met in post-season as they never play up to their seeding, it seems.


I would have liked to have seen Jazz or Bucks win (or Suns) as they weren't exactly benefiting from guys who tanked their contract with a previous team that allowed them to be picked up on the cheap and/or weren't built by the Superstar collab project.
