Surprised that the Jazz pulled off a win after losing Gobert early on. Sounds like he's out for game 2 as well.

Bucks will be a tough out until they play the Cavs and get swept

The Cav's defense really worries me though. They're already having trouble with the Pacers if they don't get it together soon they could get themselves into some serious trouble.

man PG13 is one overrated clown, i dunno who keeps on saying his a 2way player or plays some form of defense, his not even guarding lebron or when game is on the line....lebron is having his way whoever on the pacers trying to defend him...

hence pacers bball do they even run plays? seems like every possession is iso ball....that crap doesnt work in playoffs

Bucks took it the Raptors last night. That was embarrassing.

Jazz are up 3-2 on the Clippers and really look like they're in control now. I think they end this in game 6.

Hayward has looked amazing in this series. He's been silky smooth on the offensive end, great on the boards and he's more than held his own on the defensive end.

Yeah, the Clips are toast. It's disappointing, as CP has long been one of my favorites and I like Griffin, too, but between awful GMing, questionable coaching, and health issues, they just can't seem to put it together.

Props to the Jazz, though; that's a likable team with a lot of upside, and I will be a HUGE fan of theirs against the Ws.

Raptors are looking really really bad through 2 games. They might get swept if they don't step up their intensity level.

Is anyone pulling for the Celtics in the east? I'm boosting the Cavs over there.

I'm pulling for the Celtics. Mostly just because I don't want to see the Cav's in the finals again.

I just want the strongest possible competition for the Warriors in the event we don't make it.

I can get with that logic.

So it's set now. Cav's vs. Warriors in the finals. Honestly I'm probably not even going to watch, can't stand either team.
