    Is Kevin Durant just plain dumb or bipolar?

    Get off social media for godes sake. What a dumb***.

    He "totally accidently" liked a comment that said Westbrook is the problem in OKC...lol.

    Our old record (51pts in a quarter in 1962 playoffs) is safe, phew

    Just remembered Jason Kidd was fired earlier this year from coaching the Bucks. ***Random thought***

    My dream Finals matchup this year is Utah/Pacers. Make it happen!

    I could see that as a real possibility. The funny thing is that even though it would potentially be a ratings disaster with Utah and Indy, out of the teams in the West and the East those two are the most compelling for me thus far, followed closely by New Orleans.

    I'm tired of Cleveland, I hate the Rockets, GS is too much of a given to make it exciting, Toronto looks like the same old choking Raptors, Minny and Boston I just have no investment in and neither are going much farther IMO. I guess you're right Philly is pretty hot but I have a hard time rooting for them and I think their youth is going to catch up with them. 27 turnovers the other night was telling, even though they still won. That won't work in a conference finals.

    In reality that Miami team is pretty bad (for a Playoff team). The Sixers are struggling against what is the equivalent of that Blazers team that just got swept out of the Playoffs. They've got talent in their youngsters and some heart, but not a lot of discipline. They remind me of a less likable version of the Thunder from a few years ago.

    I just want to see Mitchell vs. Simmons and Gobert vs. Embiid.

    ...I had musings that OKC can retain their core, fire Donovan and hire Jackson. Then I thought to myself that no one on that crew would be smart enough to figure out the intricacies of the Tri.

    Who's the ghost-writer that came up with the script that sets up Drake vs Meek 2.0 in the ECF. I bet Embiid can't wait to get all up into that Minaj à bruh.

    I think LLLLLebron better leave the East, because I think we'll be seeing Boston and Philly in the East Finals for the next decade lol.

    Simmons is the real deal. The process sucks donkey balls.

    Yeah Miami is pretty bad , I mean Dragic is its best player .

    The comparaison with the Blazers is a good one when you look at the Heat payroll , so much money given to average players ....
