Scott Foster is going to have 134 missed calls from Tim Donhagy when he checks his phone after the game. Scotty is in big trouble.

The 4 teams left are all exciting -

If Jimmy does it it will be as crazy as the pistons winning it - except it will be like if jordan or Lebron won a ring without another elite all world player...and don’t same Bam....but he ain’t a Pip or Wade level guy

Media says stuff like:

"The only way Lebron wins another ring is if AD averages 40pts/15rebs/10ast".

They don't realize what they're saying. Lol.

When i said either Lakers or Warriors are gonna be destroyed by Nuggets. People were laughing and in disbelief.

LA has had so many chances in each game and failed because they wanted to start shooting 3's instead of a wear and tear game and keep going to the hole.

Jeez DEN"s defensive post presence is Bruce Brown and Aaron Gordon. Attack and wear them out but they keep saving DEN allowing DEN to get on a roll everytime

Warriors would have legit made this a series lol.

I did not think we would win this series but this is just shameful.
