Between the lottery results and Tatum injury, not good day for league.

Don't like injuries. I wish Tatum a full recovery.
But I don't feel sorry for BOS.

Oh my goodness, Halliburton is just hitting every deep three ball as the Cavs completely collapse, they are missing everything

Lots of dumbfounded CLE fans wondering what hit them.

Complete and total mental collapse, they were scared as a group and didn’t have the mental toughness to rise to the occasion, the Knicks and Pacers have been doing exactly that.

Game 7 in OKC Sunday. Could go either way.
DEN does have the experience. I'm rooting Nugs
but cognizant of all potential outcomes.
OKC has been a historically dominant team this year.

The Knicks game is Monday—no games tomorrow. Assuming there is a game 7. Kind of hope BOS wins today to force one

Boston is getting blasted. New York still playing most of their starters up by 40 in the 4th. Haha.

I think the C's blow it up. Not sure how much they'll get for any of their guys though.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

How could they blow it up? Aren’t a lot of guys still under contract? I’m not disagreeing. I’m just curious what they could do.

Per Bobby Marks “ Boston will enter the offseason with $231 million in salary and a $263 million tax penalty. For every $3 million spent on a player, it will cost them $25 million in additional tax penalties.”

Porzingis and Holiday they would love to trade away. Porzingis only next year on books so maybe find a taker if attach draft picks. Holiday has three more years.

Other option is to trade Brown, not sure anyone wants to pay him 4 years of super max.

Don’t see many good options for them except some salary relief training Porzingis.

Chet Holmgren really came up weak and anti-clutch a couple of games back. Otherwise, this series could be over.

The way I foresee game seven is that Jokic can count on Aaron Gordon to be physical and likely clutch.

I don't think OKC is mature enough to withstand a grind out game.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Wow! Thanks.

No wonder they wanted to sell the team.

I would love a Pacers vs OKC finals, a battle of the small market teams with no Big-3 assembled during FA.

Did SGA just settle the MVP discussion? 30+ point blowout in game 7. Yeesh.
