Blake Griffin was called soft for responding like this.

Blake was gonna need to pop somebody in the mouth to make sure stuff like this didn’t continue to happen.

That game winner was nice, though the block was a goaltend, but the out of bound call before that was incorrect, lol

Both should have been reviewed....and weren't.

That shot was just a killer, Lebron is ridiculous. OG actually did a pretty good job in the game, and his game tying three was big too. It's over for the Raptors of course, Cavs vs Celtics conference finals will be interesting.

I honestly thought the Raptors would try to trap LeBron or put more pressure on him in the back court. They should have forced him to give the ball up or at least slow him down. I don't know how he made that shot, but he did. In general both playoff games were very entertaining last night.

No hamstring pulls.
Still demanding as hell.

Just realized OG Anunoby is our pick that went out with Dudley.

All 6'8" 235 with a 7 foot 6 wingspan of him.

Oh, I cried about this silently during draft night because I actually really liked him as a prospect.

Clippers drafted Anunoby and traded him or traded the pick that was used to select him?

doc used a pick to get rid of dudley, who at the time was not really even a bad contract.

We traded the pick to the Bucks, who traded it to TOR along with Norman Powell for the immortal Greivis Vasquez. Hey these picks aren't totally worthless but at #23, it's quite a longshot. Anunoby averaged 11 ppg in his last year in college, which is why he lasted so long. TOR got the pick as a throw-in on a minor deal and hit on it. Mazel tov.

Both Western top 2 seeds are up 3-1. Harden and Paul are basically carrying each other through these playoffs with Capela manning the middle. Harden has a meh game, Paul steps up, Paul has a meh game, Harden steps up. Rockets don't even need to hit their three's or for Harden to have a good game to win anymore, they can also defend now. Basically it is working as Paul as well as the Rockets envisioned in that those two would fill in the gaps for each other. If the Warriors didn't have Durant, I would actually favor the Rockets against them, but Warriors have quite a lot of talent.

As we call it in the merger business, putting two turkeys together to try and make an eagle.

Yup, that's the way you gotta do it, the Warriors just cheated it to the max so that they can even have one of their top two out and be fine against most teams, but mediocre games by either Curry or Durant are able to be made up by the other and also Thompson.

LOL, I was being a bit ironic because CP and Beard have spotty playoff histories. And damn don't they know it, which is why they hooked up. The only way to beat the Evil Empire--especially after Durant went over to the Dark Side--was to join forces.

Even though Chris remains my favorite NBA player [except for Austin Rivers of course :rofl2:

], it's been tough warming up to his reincarnation as a Rocket.

But I think I can manage it. CP bailing from the Clippers [and Blake and DJ's contracts] was an honorable move and GSW are our rivals from way back.

Plus Durant's move to the championship team that just beat him remains the weakest move in sports history.

I can do this.
