I was outside in the garage working during the bucks game. Came in to grab dinner and saw they were down 13 or so at half. Came back in to see them down 25, figured there was no point to watch the game so I went back out to continue working. About 10-15 minutes later I came back in and saw they were winning by 2. I was like . I then had to watch the remaining 2 minutes. Wtf was Giannis going for a dunk for? And that inbound pass by Snell? Team is young, can't wait to see them next year.

Bird resigned in Indiana. Hope that makes way for Heat to get Paul George

^They were and they cleaned house. Clippers might do the same. Aren't they losing both Blake and CP?

Good God the ass whippings last night. Less worried about the Spurs than the Raptors.

Rockets went off last night. I'll be damn surprised if they can shoot like that 4 out of 7 games.

Raptors are what we thought they were...no match against the Cavs. I think Cleveland will take those 3-point launches all series from Toronnah.

Remember how everyone thought Cavs had issues and wouldn't make Finals...

Have to agree, that's why you play best of 7. Basketball is a weird sport where somedays teams can't miss and others where they can't make a shot to save their lives. Rockets-Spurs last night was an example of both from each end, but it won't last. The numbers always catch up.

Another sweep for Cavs. Warriors will probably do the same to Utah. Other series' are great matchups.

Didn't get to tune into the Spurs game until 4 min left. That was nerve racking. The goal tending call on LA was bullshit. Should've ended the game in regulation.

Reading the rules, maybe the call wasn't bullshit, but it's one they regularly don't call since it had no chance of going in.

I didn't see much of the first half, but the replays of Hardin showed a complete lack of motivation.

Yeah, that was tough. There were a bunch of strange calls in that game with both ticky-tac calls and some really rough no-calls. Warriors shot horrible the first half and Steph had an unbelievable 3rd quarter. Looks like it will be a good series.

Im kind of hoping GS sweeps the final, sets all kinds of records, and the NBA bans such acts of high powered offense on a single team. WTF are they averaging this playoffs? 120?!

C's were up pretty late but Kyrie and Lebron did their things. When's game 1 of the Finals?

James passes Jordan for playoff points...

Impressive. Still, before we go down that rabbit hole, His Airness > King James. No debate.

No debate I'm not saying you're right or wrong but of course you can debate it. The better response for you, Bulls fan, is I don't feel like debating. :smitler:

When will the NBA split up the super teams... This is getting pretty boring watching the same 2 teams in the Finals, 3 years in a row now.

The Cavs are hardly a super team, and the list of consecutive finals matchups is pretty lengthy. While the majority are just single repeats, I hardly think last year's match wasn't entertaining.

Lebron deserves a spot in the debate. The biggest reason being that he's not close to being done.

Not a big fan of basketball. But since there is nothing else going on tonight other than drinking beer, I guess I'll tune in to a little bit of the game.

Cavs played an awful game. No passing, no transition defense, and turn overs left and right. Sometimes I wonder why the guys who do this as their job can't recognize that in the game and adjust.

Cavs aren't the issue. They're completely outclassed by Golden State.

And before someone says "well, they were down 3-1 last year", the best player on the court last night wasn't on GS last year.

He is in Chicago. And is retired.

I'm not buying into the Cavs not having a chance. They just played a horrible game 1 after the first quarter. Durant is an amazing player, but he is still not better then Lebron.

I don't think I care who wins. I just want to see at least game 6, and I think it can happen with either team holding the trophy at the end.
