Great game. I had a feeling that playoff experience was gonna prevail. It was that type of game with all the skuffling and technicals.

Refs and the Warriors, a longtime match made in heaven

This first round has been pretty damn good compared to other seasons. There's often only one good series in the first round. I hope lakers and Rockets both extend to game six. Was hoping for steph v lebron and I think the Lakers still have the better chance of completing a comeback.

I could never root against steph no matter how much I dislike draymond

It's pretty tuff to root against Jimmy too. I was hoping Rockets would pull this out but I was skeptical.

I think I counted 3 times jimmy got blocked so he doesn't look 100%. Hopefully he'll get there for round 2. I really don't want to see minny advance.

3 games later. It's worse than I thought

They are my sleeper pick to land Masai if Riley finally steps down. Word on the street is that Mourning will never get that job, and Spo is too good of a coach to kick upstairs. They like to keep things in-house though, and Masai has no ties to them, but I think he will be in the running nonetheless.

Brad Steven's was a great coach too and he went upstairs.

Was interesting to hear Bam talk about Riley post game. Rare for that to happen.

Udoka was Masai's top candidate for the coaching job after Nurse was fired and when asked why he chose HOU, he could've just said I like Houston best, but instead, he answered with an oblique shot @Raptors saying "mid-level teams that kind of have that ceiling, that five-seed ceiling".

I mean, he likely said the truth even today, but wasn't necessary to throw shade and rub salt into the wound after he already rejected us. I have rooted against Houston ever since.

Turns out all Siakam needed was shooters and a secondary ball handler.

If we had to do a stupid trade for a C, I wanted it to be for Turner for this reason. Running an actual offense has also done wonders. Shocking developments about the modern NBA.

Wouldn't they just give it to Ellisburg?
