At the same time, if any player deserves a ring where every other team falls due to injuries it is CP3.

If we can't beat ATL, I am pulling for him.

The Suns will easily beat Atlanta if that’s the matchup.

Doesn't help I hate lol Wayne. I legit thought he was bringing his grandma or someone onto the court but nah it's that a hole

I don't think he flopped on the shove from Bev. He certainly milked it on the ground, though.

I think they're a good team but they were one crazy play away from a Kawhi-less Clippers pushing them to 7 games, maybe we take a step back on the beatdowns.

Media going to talk Paul like they talked about Elway in the Super Bowl against Green Bay.

This was true even before the Clips were bounced but it's kind of cool that no matter who wins it this year you'll have a fan base that feels like a curse has been lifted. It's also cool that regardless of all the injuries I don't think any of the fan bases will give one **** about the path because they've all been on the other side of the luck. It's not even just basketball for the most part ATL, mil, and phoenix have had bad teams and heartbreaking losses across multiple sports.

LeBron covering a lot of ground here to be sure. And Danny Green.

Does it work if it is reversed? Marc Gasol makes it count (on Raptors first, then Lakers), but otherwise that GS-Toronto series might not work?

tbh, it will be a big "I don't give a darn" if it's Phoenix vs. ATL.

Clippers stepped up without kawhi. Large parts of that series, they looked the better side. Suns are good but beatable.

Absolutely. No world beaters left. Now the suns may look a little better next round because the clippers were a team they struggled with all year. The clips put a good blue print how to make the suns uncomfortable, get physical on the perimeter and piss Paul and Booker off to the point they start playing outside the offense. The clippers and suns players had a weird hatred for each other before this series so that might have contributed a little extra to some of the suns losing their composure at times that series. Another thing the clippers took advantage of was the suns love to matchup hunt to the point where they can get out of their flow and I thought the clips baited them into some of that.

Giannis is a key though, he kills the suns.

Any guess or definite answer to when game 3 if NBA finals would be? Making a play on hotels.

I can’t wait until they bring up the banana boat and transition the story of the finals about Paul and Lebrons relationship and what his thoughts are about Space Jam 2. The media coverage will be superb, much better than 1997.

OT, road tripping back to Vegas. I am in Grand Junction CO, and I'm in this weird sports bar with a Broncos and Packers section (each are generously appropriated and equal in size).

I got to think Lebron or Green have a similar stat right? Both those guys had long careers on multiple teams.

Does Lebron or Green have anybody to keep their streak alive (if it is alive)? Lebron has 10 on his own, Add in how many ever from Shaq and random vets on the Heat/Cavs, I bet you get a decent streak
