If the final is us vs Golden State, hopefully we get the calls like the Blazers are. Part of me thinks not; if free throws/fouls are even, it probably means we are getting screwed because we are a lot better at driving and getting shots inside.

Re: ATL Conference Finals - Cavs Hire Beilein
Do the finals start on a fixed date or will it start early if both series end in sweeps? Would be nice to see the Warriors guys get more worn out but would also be nice to wrap up both series and start again with a short break and less time for any Durant comeback.

If we make it to the finals against the Warriors I have no idea what they'll do with Giannis. They're really not equipped to deal with him.
Blazers much better since game 1 but don't see this going past 5 unless Dame gets loose.

It's locked in already. they have to set it for TV. If they both finish early they'll sit for a week.

Feels like The Warriors are fine conceding this game.

Are we talking about the "accidental" stumbling back, butt screens?

Blazers are deceptively deep. Without Nurkic 10 players today have played and scored so far. Not sure a matchup with them would be as easy as others think (maybe Bucks in 6).

They have no shot of holding us under 120. Not late Lebron Cavs level, but that's a crap defensive team.

Yeah, they’re not great but holding their own tonight, and against either Western team we won’t have a clear depth/energy advantage unless their series goes 7 and we’re resting for awhile.

Yes, whatever you want to call them
His "screens" definitely stick out more than most players. Good for him that he is able to get away with it most of the time

Warriors depth is garbo if they don't have Durant. They have a bunch of useful guys but they'll need Iggy to be third scorer and there's nobody at 4th. It's like the current Raptors, there's going to be 2 guys on court nearly always that we don't really have to guard. Can't have that and expect to keep up with us when we have an army of guys behind Giannis that can score 15 points.

I wonder if Thon will ever be as good as Meyers Leonard. Probably not.

Portland getting just enough to go their way to keep a comeback unlikely so far.

I thought that earlier in the Playoffs but they’re getting some good contributions tonight from unlikely sources. I think we’re to the point with Kerr’s system of a plug and play ability similar to Bud’s.
