    Besides the obvious disappointment that the Lakers are not part of the equation during this time of year...If you asked a casual bball fan if they would prefer watching the conference finals that involved the Dubs and their supposed biggest threat in Houston while Bron squared off against a Ky led Cbags squad, the majority would be happy watching that.

    Each of these games have been routes with zero 4th quarter thrills.

    Yawn.

    Lmao I expected this from the C Bags. As much as I expected this from the Cavs at home.

    Yeah, I expected this. Maybe not the complete blowout but I was certain the Lebrons would win and handily.

    The National Bron Association can’t have their guy get swept. Unfortunately this series is going 7.

    For the record, I had the Cavs winning in 5.

    Total destruction of the Celts today. Good. But can we have some games that are not blowouts?

    Besides sneaking out 1 win in Philly because the Sixers choked, this Boston team hasn’t shown the ability to win on the road in the playoffs. Despite looking so bad in the first 2 games, I’d still bet on Cleveland to take this series.

    Warriors destroy the Rockets, Curry finally goes off for big points, for one night all is right with the basketball universe. If they can just get game 4 and go up 3-1 I’ll feel a lot better. If they make the Finals I don’t care what happens after that, as long as Houston doesn’t, because if they do, they WILL win. I don’t care if the warriors win it all, I don’t care if the Cavs win it all, of course I don’t want Boston to win, but I’ll keep saying it, Rockets is the worst case scenario. Anyone but them. I’ll take the Warriors beating down Cleveland or Boston, and I’ll take LeBron beating the Warriors. If Houston and Boston both made the finals I don’t know what I’d do, slip into a deep depression I suppose.

    Right, i can't take these blowouts anymore...i need a game i'm not turning off after 3 quarters-although the Curry eruption in the 3rd was pretty fun to watch.

    conference finalists who shoot a TON of threes. this is what happens.

    btw, careful what you wish for--do you really want to watch a close game decided by bs calls for harden or paul?

    i want the warriors to embarrass the hell out of the rockets each and every game. to hell with close games, exactly what abeer3 said, close game means more likely bs calls for the crybabies harden and paul.

    lol, Pete after the 41 point Warriors Beatdown



    With that said the news out of GS Practice today isn't good for Andre







    I think either Livingston or Young start in his place if he's OUT. Tough news because Iggy is as important to that Death Lineup as ever.

    F***! One key injury, that’s all that stands between the Rockets and a title. Iggy may not be filling up the stat sheet, but his defense is still extremely important.

    damn crumbsnatching vultures.

    much as i hate to credit anything morey-related (seriously, who's been saved from his own mistakes more often?), but betting on being the only team in position to win if gs suffered an injury is looking smart right about now.
