Man, the Warriors are Rockets are so much better than everyone else.

Happy about Celtics winning and Bucks losing. Now here is hoping Rockets lose, can't stand them.

Hate to say it, but seeing Giannis get contained by the Celtics is clearly a result of coaching. Brett probably needs to go if we lose the series; definitely needs to go if we get swept.

I'm rooting hard for the Rockets. Chris Paul needs to see the Finals.

Celtics are going to beat the Bucks. Raptors will probably beat us. Raptors will beat Celtics.

Rockets vs Celtics finals

Missed the three point foul on Green not allowing Harden to land. There is no consistency with that rule.

Harden is a disgusting flopper. Played for contact instead of trying to make a clean shot to tie the game. I could never be a fan of him.

Warriors: 22 3pt attempted
Rockets: 47 3pt attempted

Funny how GSW started the 3pt revolution but now they are doing well with below average 3pt attempts. **** Rockets awful basketball.

Bucks are built around Giannis' dominance, if he can be contained like today the Bucks dont stand a chance. Bucks fans blame their coach but there is not much you can do when your main star plays that bad. Giannis (and Embiid) still need to prove that you can build a contender around them.

On the Celtics side, Stevens is a good coach but its mostly their FO that should get the credit. The Celtics basically play 5 shooters lineups and most of their players are pretty switchable so they will always be able to punch above their weight talent-wise.

We should have tried to get the fourth seed. We have always struggled against the Raptors. The Bucks are a fake first seed.

The way the Sixers ended the season... I thought they were trying for the 4th seed.

A Toronto-Boston ECF will be hard to stomach.

Just avoid this place as majority of their fans here are insufferable

Hard for an offense that relies on refs’ whistle to thrive in the play-offs. Specially in late games.

That falls on Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton. If Giannis is contained, there's no reason why one or both of them shouldn't be able to step in and provide a star performance.

Especially in Middleton's case because that's exactly what he did all series long, last year against Boston.

The Bucks have the same flawed, playoff roster construction the 76ers had last year. A bunch of shooters who can't create a shot against tough defense. Just let Horford play Centerfield against Giannis and clog the paint. The outcome of a Boston-Milwaukee series was predictable. That's why I prayed for a Milwaukee 2nd round matchup, all year. They are a flawed team that can be exposed in the playoffs.
