The Cavs defensive rebounding in this series is some of the worst I've ever seen. It's to the point where the NBA might need to launch an investigation. These dudes don't even want those rebounds. Two athletic 7 footers and they're getting abused on the glass.

The Lakers are so lucky they drew a Memphis team missing their two best rebounders/a hobbled Ja. There are so many dudes on that team that are completely unproven/unreliable in the Playoffs.

Did Randle really just break himself in advance of playing Heat or Bucks?

I’m watching the Heat take a 24-18 early lead giving multiple maximum effort on defense and I’m saying, “Boy I remember when the Celtics use to play like this “.

Only way Celtics play like that again is if they get tired of losing and failing every year.

Right now the Cs are taking things for granted because they know they're so good.

I've loved being a Heat fan for a week. Glad it's almost over so I can go vomit.

Controversial: while I have NO DOUBT we could beat them both, I would rather face the Bucks than the Heat. I'm not afraid of either but the heat are some grimy soul suckers, we make it out, but it takes a toll! they just grind you down. butler is an animal too. man can come up with wins out his butt!! you gotta kill him to beat him! you think, let him do his thing, make the others beat you but his thing is finding a way to do most of the destroying and drag them along with him. he can be very impactful. he like any superstar, that people seem to ignore, can have an off night or two but when it's put up or shutup, he's going to mainly be putting up!

Shouldn't be controversial. Heat worry me as much as anyone. Bucks barely worry me at all.

Watching both games simultaneously
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Almost but not over yet. I think most thought the bucks would win this game. I'm a heat fan until this series ends... and THEN, we can go vomit.

It's refreshing as hell to watch a guy like Jimmy go all out while Tatum plays like a frontrunning pussy.

The Heat have looked pretty good in the Giannis games.

The injury changed the whole complexion of the series.

If this call isn't overturned there's further proof the NBA fixes games.
