God the NBA is so predictable. You just knew the cavs would find a way to win this game. You just knew it.

Lebron and the refs help the Cavs wins.
Hope Pacers can protect the home-court.

Donovan is ridiculous.

Hate to say it but imagine Utah with Gobert Mitchell and Hayward...

Very good but not on GS/Houston's level...which is why Gordon left. Plus Gobert is pretty injury-prone (though to be fair so is Kyrie-ish).

Watch on YouTube

New Game of Zones. Brief Celtics mention with Jahlil Okafor. It's about the Nets, it's funny.

Anddd now Philly's Board Insider said he's likely playing. Apparently their poster is connected to Embiid. Jesus though why list him as doubtful then? Philly's medical staff is beyond awful.

But do they still land Jonas Jerebko in that scenario? 10 & 5 and a +19 tonight in 13 minutes played

Rondo also with 6 TOs last night compared to TRo's 0 TOs through 78 minutes of tournament play. He had the big shots in the clutch, but so did TRo in game 1, when the C's were in a tight game.

Yes, it is fun to see Rondo still able to play, but I take TRo at this point for sure.

wait, what? what did I say about roze? just giving props to RR for a good job. I said nothing about wanting him back, I don't even like RR all that much after the things he said when he left.

Rondo gets turnovers because he is a floor general - 6 is still a lot. TRo is a scorer playing the 1. He isn’t really generating looks for anybody. The zero TOS is great but let’s not overrate it too much.

What are ya'll talking about, I never mentioned Rozier in my post, it had nothing to do with him, I don't even want to discuss it. Please don't get into over two people I NEVER compared! OMG, what is the world coming to when you can't complement a player without it turning into a who's better argument. Please, just both of you, let it go.

Even if he's right, he says it depends on his workout. So if there's a level of uncertainty present why would the Sixers list him as available while there's a chance he's not?

Snyder seems to get the most out of his guys, a la, Stevens. Wonder what Mitchell would look like on Chicago, Milwaukee, Sacramento, etc.

Nick Wright is unbearable. He said LeBron has never had a game in the playoffs like Harden did going 2-18...

Umm 2008 ECF vs the Celtics: LeBron was 2-18, 12 pts, 9 reb, 9 assists, and 10 turnovers.

Nick, please stop omitting facts in your arguments.

Nick Wright is, far and away, the biggest and most annoying clown on ANY sports network.

Im still not impressed by Donovan Mitchell. 28 points on 25 attemps, 0-7 from 3, 4 turnovers.
He is the only real offensive player in this team.

Last night didn't play well but he was unbelievable in the 4th quarter and down the stretch. I believe he had 13 4th quarter points to will them to a win.
