I will have to pay attention to that, but when 2 strides gets you from the 3pt to the block, I can understand why you would think it is a travel.

Now Sixers steal homecourt.

@ Eastern Conference playoffs...

And the Bucks are back in action... Lets steal one in Boston! Preferably two!

Been watching the 76ers playoffs this year. This series seems like it can be really good.

Joneill44

Kinda had a feeling last night was going to happen. Game 1 was no was an indication how the series was going to be. Now the fun part begins

The east has potential to go 7 in both series...

dezymond

Bucks and Celts good matchup.

Nuggets and blazers are another fun series to watch.

Doom878

Even in Toronto/Philly too. And wow a 4OT game with Portland/Denver.

As long as JoJo gets healthy.

Celtics hoping to get Mahcus Smaht back tonight. His D might be enough to turn things back around.

Yumcha

So far, Bucks looking good.

Doom878

Bucks closing Wednesday.

Joneill44

The Celtics have yet to put a good stretch of basketball together all season and I dont see that changing. Bucks in 5

Not exactly the Boston Team I thought they would be, but I am not complaining. Back home to close the series out hopefully. Might have to find me some tickets.

Kyrie is obviously one of the best players in the league and if he stays they could really build something here but I just dont see it happening

Don't get me wrong, Kyrie is a great player. They just are not firing on all cylinders right now. After game 1, I was a little worried then we bounced back in 2 and kept the momentum. 1 More and the waiting game begins.

Yumcha

Kyrie is good but he talks too much, IMO.

Doom878

I thought C's would be better considering last year they lost Kyrie and Gordon for the playoffs. WTF happened?

elessar

They've been erratic like this all season. I said before the playoffs that it wouldn't surprise me if they made it to the Finals, but it also wouldn't surprise me if they lost in the first round.

Maybe it really is Kyrie? He can be completely lights-out when he wants to be, but he doesn't always want to be. I dunno... maybe that's not fair.

Yesterday it just seemed like nobody could hit the broad side of a barn, from any kind of distance, and that's all they were even trying - bad shot selection, and they were just all out of rhythm.

All season long they kept showing promise, but then they would fall back into stretches where they were all, individually, trying to play hero-ball instead of clicking as a team. Especially Kyrie and, to a lesser extent, guys like Rozier.

Tatum seems like he has a ton of potential, but he needs to mature a bit before he really finds that killer instinct. In retrospect, it's a shame they didn't try to deal Kyrie for Anthony Davis, before the trade deadline, because I'd much rather see them build on guys like Tatum and Brown, who have so much potential, than a flaky (but super talented) guy like Kyrie, and it's too late to trade him now.

Yumcha

On paper, the Celtics look great. But, something is weird with them...and you have to wonder if everytime Kyrie opens his trap, he loses more traction with the team.

I'm hoping the Bucks make it far.

Joneill44

Its all just very frustrating

Doom878

Raptors and Nuggets with ass whipping

Yumcha

Bucks give to Celtics...wow, what a ...




If Raptors can hold, which I believe they will as Simmons has been just destroyed by Kawhi on offense and defense, it will be entertaining to see the Bucks go up against Toronto.

Giannis vs. Kawhi will be quite the match-up.

Doom878

Warriors/Rockets game was pretty good. I didn't watch it but the NBA has a YouTube channel where you get like a 9 minute cliff notes version. WHY DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!

Could be a devastating injury for the Warriors. Hope KD is alright, the word on the street is an Achilles. Same injury that took Kobe out.

BreezyTL

How bout them Bucks! SUCK IT PAUL PIERCE!!!

Joneill44

Bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joneill44

Its KD calf not achilles

BreezyTL

iTrader: (8)

Either way, hope its nothing major.

Doom878

If KD is out then Bucks gotta be the favorite.

Yumcha

Well, evens the playing field. The Warriors ONLY have 3 super players in Green, Curry Chicken, and Klaydough. Only.

Joneill44

The Celtics ruining the Boston Sweep is upsetting. Now we can only win 3 championships instead of 4 this year

Yumcha

Rockets choked the 4th there. Series done.

dezymond

Dantoni's flawed system. Too much iso ball, everyone camping the 3 and that makes them very predictable. Not only that but Dantoni's rotations are terrible and limited to like 7 players. Houston has no excuses, it was their series to lose after KD went down and they lost it into typical Dantoni's fashion.

They don't necessarily have to blow the team up but they do need to get a new coach with a proven system that doesn't fail them in the playoffs.

Yumcha

Their inability to guard Klay and Steph were the end. When the Rockets had the lead going into the 4th, it should've been daring GS to tie/score with ANYONE ELSE but those two. Green is elite too but I would pick my poison with him than to let the other two fling 3s because that is not a game you want to resort to. When Steph starting to sink those triplets...yeah, it was just inevitable.

Yumcha

If KD comes back, I believe GS will win it all again. If he's out, it evens the playing field a bit and hopefully a squad like the Bucks can at least make it 7 games. I just don't believe anyone from the East has the 3-shot to take out the Warriors.

Lakers hire Vogel: https://www.nba.com/article/2019/05/...el-frontrunner

Kawhi is something. Bucks/Raptors for Eastern Final...should be interesting if he draws the Greek Freak.
