?? Houston and San Antonio play tonight.
Boston and Washington aren't. Last game was Sunday! Isaiah's teeth gonna rot before then.
Interesting lineup shuffle tonight. Eric Gordon starting and Ryan Anderson coming off the bench.
Houston and San Antonio at 2-2, Sanjabroni.

Yep. Had that feeling before game 4 too :/
Honestly thank fuck i have money on the rockets to win the series at 4:1 before it started to ease the pain. But then I think, I mean, we were gonna get swept by golden state anyway so.
This may be a stupid question but I'm curious. Why is the majority of the playoff schedule so far scheduled as playing a game in the series every other day but then in the Celtic's series they have 2 day breaks in between a couple of their games. I'm going to assume it's a TV thing but that just seems odd.

Without Nene Houston has no hope. Lee and Gasol are going to run wild on the boards all game.

I am ready to beat the rockets in 7 and then get swept by the warriors. Where's your pride spurs fans ?? I also want LMA to have some great games so his trade value can go up a bit
Boston is the beacon of light that washes away the unclean taint that is the rest of the nba. They must be put on a pedestal and revered. I honestly have no clue. Probably a TV schedule thing
i mean you said no lies here🤔🤔🤔
I think this was suppose to be like an edgy hot take but you just said something most people would agree with . How about this let me try
Dirk > KG
LMA > Kawhi
One of these is an old joke I have probably ran into the ground
So, update on the Raptors:

Damn, seems like this bromance is getting broken up.
I could see him on the Jazz or Spurs given a discount, or the Nuggets or Mavs otherwise.
I'd rather Casey pack his stuff in a box and hitchhike his ass out of Toronto.
Though keeping both Lowry & Ibaka is going to be a problem $$$-wise either way.

Ray Allen somehow figuring a way to be the least likable guy in a group that also feature Doc Rivers and Rajon Rondo.

Everyone hates Ray because after game 2 of the 2010 finals he was garbage
Had he been not shit and made at least 1 FG in game 3 the Celtics might have won in 5
But they went back to LA
I don't blame Ray for going to Miami , dude was getting old and wanted a ring. Ainge tried to trade him many times x wasn't gonna pay him so I'd leave too.

How does Lowry think going to the West will help his chances at getting a ring? Not only does that conference have the best team, it's also stacked with a lot more top tier teams. In the East, the only stop is Cleveland. If anything goes on with LeBron, then it's a free-for-all in that conference.
His best bet would be to stay put or go play with Paul George or Giannis in the East instead.
Hate to admit it but that was how I was looking at it.

I believe its because the Washington Capitals are still in the NHL playoffs abd share the same arena as the Wizards.
Boston is cancer.
ah that makes a lot of sense then.

Raptor's GM Masai Ujiri season ending conference was something else. Dude was emotional and frustrated at this team under performing.
Trust in Masai.
Trust in Masai.
yes this is how max contracts work
Sucks but what can you do. LeBron too good and he's not gonna lose to players like Lowry and Derozan.
I rather have a max player who doesn't fraternize with mascots.
Max contracts ruining the NBA.
I am a spurs fan from Texas so I would have no clue. I think I have met one Celtics fan but like 90% of baseball fans here are red Sox fans.

So what's the formula to beating LeBron anyway? I'm thinking the old Pacers team or Mavs team (not including the Warriors preDurant). I guess Spurs too? Basically someone who can at least slow him down defensively and then a 7ft center who isn't garbage?
He's no LMA.
Any team with a physically gifted, defensive minded small forward. Igoudala, or Kawhi Leonard. That and 2 other All stars...
Make him actually have to do something on defense (which will wear him down). He is basically napping on the defensive end throughout the eastern conference playoffs. In the finals though he is basically the only one on the team who has the skills to guard Durant so he will be forced to do so. If I"m the Warriors I relentlessly attack through Durant and then be fine with LeBron turning into a low % volume shooter. He'll get his points but be under 40%.
That's why it's gonna be amazing to watch. If Lebron still comes out on top.... christ.

Have a team with equal talent. The East hasn't had one in 7 years.

Eh, I'm just worried they're going to get blitzkrieged again, and the big men will slow down. I'd love for them to advance, but I'm just doubtful they'll keep the Rockets from exploding the next 2 out of 3 games.
If he beats this Warriors team he deserves to be number #2 on the GOAT list.
He will do fine. The edge goes to GS because KD will obliterate anyone not named Lebron guarding him were they could just put Lebron on Dray or Iggy before and he wouldn't expend a ton of energy. The teams are a lot closer than people think. I see all these wide open 3's Utah clanks..and think if that was the Cavs the way they are shooting.

Spurs decimated the man. It was embarassing how great they were. Thats the gameplan. Nag him defensively and run a 4 or 5 men offense.

So watching Area 21 with the Celtics reunion. Why is Kendrick Perkins talking as if he was still on the team when Ray left? The dude was with the Thunder no?

Patty Mills is starting. Gordon is starting, Ryno coming off the bench.
We finally found a lineup that worked against their Pau + LMA two bigs lineup, Harden/Beverley/Gordon/Ariza/Capela. Capela and Harden guard the big men, Ariza guards Kawhi, Beverley Mills, and Gordon Danny Green. That being said, their small ball lineups, with Kawhi as power forward and one of LMA or David Lee (only when Kawhi is also out there) lineup worked pretty well against it, although it was more even than a decisive advantage.
And our 5 shooters lineups, while not ideal, either feature: four guards, when not against Kawhi, which ensures at least one mismatch, Kawi not being able to guard the entire perimeter, let us long rebound more often, and is still decent at driving inside.
