Really fun stuff.

In related news, which player has had a bigger Renaissance of their career, Cameron Payne or Reggie Jackson?

Completely with you, these playoffs have been awesome.

I'd say the bigger comeback has been Cam Payne...Reggie Jackson has been phenomenal this entire playoffs without a doubt, but Payne looked like he was completely out of the league last year and was never much of a player until the bubble last year...now he was the leading scorer in game 2 of the WCF...shocking.

Absolutely - is def among the very best postseasons in my lifetime. Can't recall a better run of playoff games.

Cameron Payne can get a dog up him.

Him smacking the floor and acting like a tool bag when he was playing for the Bulls Vs us still irks me.

This is the first playoff in years in which we don't know who is going to win.

The LeBron Heat? Boring.

The Durant Warriors? Boring.

Super teams suck. They make the league predictable.

Young is going to end up being better than Steph.

I couldn't agree more, I love seeing teams like the Hawks and Suns this far in the playoffs. Outside of the Nets there isn't a team I dislike in the running.

if he was a more efficient shooter I'd agree, however Young is a 30-35% 3pt shooter and a 40-44% fg shooter.

So let me see if I've got this straight. A franchise that has had numerous articles written recently about their long history of workplace harassment, including some terrible stories of treatment of female employees, now plans to hire a head coach with an absolutely horrific history of domestic violence. Way to change the narrative Mark Cuban. It wouldn't even be worth it if he was a good coach.

I just remembered that Frank Kaminsky is on Phoenix.

Yeah, the Bucks or Hawks gotta win this thing.

I'm watching an Australian stream of Suns/Clippers and it seems like every other commercial is Hungry Jacks ( not the pancake mix ) and Ben Simmons making a trick-shot 3pter. Which is incredibly funny considering how he played in the playoffs.

the suns are toast. no answer for bev (if refs continue to let him bully booker around). booker shook, doesnt look comfortable w/ face mask. paul slowed game way too much. cam payne hurt and clips had no answer for him. clips in 6.

Why do nba refs ignore things like obvious kick balls.

Seems crazy to me

CP3 has messed up the Suns mojo from the first 2 games. They're playing way too slow.
