Around the NBA 10

That was one heck of a buzzer-beater by Kawhi Leonard. The arch was very high, it looked short, somehow hit the rim, bounced four times, the buzzer went off, and it fell in.

I have to admit I couldn't help myself but jiggle when I saw Embiid cry after the loss... I really didn't like his smart-a*s attitude since he arrived in the NBA...

I know he play hard and everything, but being strong is not enough. You can be strong and humble.

I hope his crying face becomes a meme and supplant the crying MJ meme.

So who are Hornets fans hoping wins the Championship this year?

Personally I think I'm getting behind the Bucks.

Portland, then Warriors. Bucks and Raptors fans are the worst. Arrogant and cocky. Raptors fans act like they've won 10 of the last 15 finals.

Raptors winning would be my least desirable outcome.

And I live up here....

Buck's Blazers series would be pretty cool. A little bummed that the Nuggets got bounced.

I totally support the Bucks - didn't tank, small market team in the East, modern form of basketball with a dynamic star and solid supporting cast not composed of a bunch of ring chasers.

I'd go with the Bucks. If i wasn't a Horncat fan they'd probably be my team. Why? I have no idea, deer are cool I guess.

If the Sonics ever go back to Seattle they would rival Charlotte as my favorite team. Was a huge Sonics fan as a child. I liked their name and logo.

I'm cheering for Portland/Milwaukee. Small Market finals.

Brook Lopez really stood out in this playoffs when Giannis was made to look average. I was a big fan of trying to add him in free agency before the Bucks got him. He'll be a UFA, not sure if we have any shot or he'll just resign in Milwaukee. Also, he played 81/82 games this season. Imagine if we had grabbed him instead of Biz :nod:

I’m happy for Toronto. I also like that we beat them twice recently and they’re now in the finals.

It's crazy how Brook Lopez didn't make a single three-pointer in the first six years he was in the NBA. Then made a total of three three-pointers by his eighth year. Then out of nowhere dude's making 100+ threes a season on good percentages. I wish Cody put in that kind of work on his outside shot.

Middleton and Bledsoe looked painfully average in that series.

Its not that surprising, he was always one of the best mid-range shooting bigs. Guys like him and Marc Gasol can make the transition easily as they are already good shooters they just needed to step back some.

Greek freak is on the right track, you can tell he wants to shot the ball more. He just isn’t all that good at it, I would rather that than be scared to shoot the ball like Simmons.

How lucky was gasol? Was all but traded to Charlotte for it to fall through in the 11th hour. Now he's in the finals!

So true and Warriors have no center on their roster that's anywhere close to his height and can guard him except for a hobbled Cousins. Dude looked like a top tier center Game 1. Looney was a joke a match-up.
