Toronto's remontada is coming.
Philly looks shook.

Hoped this will be 7 game series so Book have more time to recover :-?

What the hell with all those injuries? Medical technology got much better, players plays less minutes, refs allows less physical defense... Yet inuries happens almost every day.

The players are supposedly more athletic and conditioned than in the past, but can't stay healthy. More skilled, but hit 7% on 3s for a whole series.

It could be the long playoff run and short offseason if you ask me.

Especially for Booker he went to the finals then to the Olympics and only had like a month off.

So Dallas in 6

Aside from the Simmons fiasco the Nets roster was too old, same problem that the Lakers had and they paid for it.

I think this season will be the last one for a good amount of famous players that were yet in the league just for their reputation.

The Nets had James Johnson (waived) and Paul Millsap (traded) and for the playoffs they added Goran Dragic. And Patty Mills, LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin...that's too much.

I expect all of them retiring except Patty Mills.

I don't think I saw Utah winning another game after game 4 in the first place, even without the Mitchell injury. g4 was prob an anomaly where they actually played defense and passed Gobert the ball.

Hate the Sixers even more now that they have Harden

Yeah, that would be so great. Though I think Sixers/Miami would be a better series next round. You never know though. Toronto is deeper than Philly and if they get FVV back, Pascal can be almost as good as Embiid (or next tier) and then every other starter for the Raptors is about as effective as Harden these days....maybe next tier there too...but probably a bit above Tobias Harris.

Raptors are almost built like the Clippers...long wings and shooting.

Mitchell injury downgraded to his quad.

Butler now out due to knee swelling.

Gorantragic: Butler now injured. Mitchell injury downgraded to his quad.

How dare you attempt to delete your post right when I'm about to respond on it. Now i happen to lost train of thought and feel like babbling over nothing for the next few minutes. Anyways, what was I about to say? Oh!!! Umm, nevermind the thought bubble disappeared again just like Phoenix's three point shooting this series. :cry:

I saw one theory that modern athletes are too lean and that can lead to increased muscle pulls. I'm not a trainer so can't argue it's validity.

Desmond Bane looks like he can't clap his hands above his head.

This is pretty crazy. Wolves are the better team in this series and could have won this in 5 (assuming they hang on). A blown 26 pt lead cost them.

And I can't even enjoy it because the Suns are in the same spot as the Griz are in

Wolves are impressive albeit not much playoff experience. They are a tough matchup for the Grizzlies.

The poor Grizzlies got Marc Davis. Worst than Foster

Yeah but last game they got 40 free throws and won by 1.

Ja Morant reminds me of Westbrook. He puts up big #s though he isn't a very good shooter, turns it over a lot...but very athletic, gets a lot of reb/ast.

His team has played better when he is out and Tyus Jones starts though.

In the games with Ja they had a winning % in between Dallas and Utah, so they would have been the 5 seed if he played in all the games and they maintained the same winning % in games he did play.

Who are you pulling for in finals?
