    Now they go home AND get Murray back. Did they just make this a series?

    Booker was insane on the 3Q and we might just have another 50 point game in this POs.

    That said, 111 point by the Suns in three quarters... in a Playoffs game. This might be the old man inside me talking, but I miss those tough Playoffs defense days. Not even the crappiest teams against the best teams would allow 111 in three quarters.

    boston is still going to waltz into the finals quite easily, but hopefully the hawks and whoever they play next make them play more games than they have to

    None of these teams play defense in the West TBH: I'm way more impressed with Memphis the more I watch these other teams.
    Phoenix looks like bad version of what GS tries to do. Paul doesn't look the same, Ayton soft as hell
    Denver was really having a tough time with the WOlves the last 2 games (then again so did the Lakers lol).

    Kings and GS can't stop each other and GS is terrible on the road.

    i'll give westbrick credit for balling out most of the series with kawhi/PG out

    but with that said, lol @ all those "clippers saved westbrick after the lakers ruined him" takes we saw after he left. sure he played better there because he was simply a better fit, but in the end he turned out to be the same westbrick we watched for a season and a half here

    Man, they just let Trae chuck 3, after 3, after 3, after 3... He got a tight coverage but just like Steph, he can pull up from a half court when left with 10 inches of space. I don't know, trap him? Double him? All good though, the more games C Bags have to play, the better.
    As for the Clippers... we've seen it before and all that was needed got said already. Cancun suckers :D

    3rd straight playoffs game with 40pts, insane, only Mike and AI did it before him. I can stand the kid but sure as hell, he can play. Also, it shows, how big of a p**** KD really is. If it doesn't work out for him in PHX, i suggest he joins C Bags next...

    C-bags should have sent two players at Trae on the last possession , others Hawks had not touched the ball in several minutes

    I don't see any major improvement from both Tatum and Brown when it comes to decision making down the stretch .

    Failing to close at home against a team like ATL isn't the greatest sign
