    Jazz inexperience showed this game[​IMG]. Kept it close for a large[​IMG] bit of the game[​IMG] then let one man beat them the rest of the way.

    Watching Chris Paul go off in the 4th, send the Jazz home, take his team to the 3rd round for the first time ever, I died a little inside.

    It's so weird seeing Chris Paul in the WCF because he never made it there most of his career. The universe just doesn't feel right.

    Ridiculous how LUCKY the Rockets got....no rubio, and then losing mitchell down the stretch...like come on.

    I hope the Rockets get their a**** handed to them by the Warriors in the WCF. Sick of watching this joke of a team win. I cannot stand Harden, CP3 and Dantoni winning anything...3 of the most hated people for me.

    Tania's around these days with her movie and now DWTS appearance with the other ice skater Rippon and @KareemtheGreat33 . Maybe she knows how to get ahold of Jeff Gilooly and his steel rod again to use on Haren? A real foul.

    Golden State just makes it look so easy, like they are just toying with NO. It does remind me of the kind of dominance we had with Showtime. The scoring and ball movement are just contagious and so much fun to watch. I'm hoping GS destroys Houston.

    Warriors play great team ball, but a lot of times their defense lags in spurts and sometimes the opposing team can blow it open. They can't do that against Houston.

    I’m not too worried about the Warriors. If they remain healthy, they should win, even if it takes 7 games. Houston had a hard time a couple times with Utah, Warriors had an easier time overall in their series, and the Pelicans are a better team than the Jazz. Had the Warriors played the Jazz it was probably a sweep.

    he hath spoken.

    the warriors' lapses in focus have been a problem all year and will doom them in the wcf.

    i'm actually kind of depressed that the eyesore of a product that houston puts out there is going to win a title. these are dark days, indeed.

    Man, Philly is just too young and dumb. They should have won that game. They have a lot of talent for the future though. Embiid played a great game.

    I still can’t believe the C Bags are running basically a 6, 7, 8 (tops) man rotation, and that’s enough to put up 114 points. They’re basically Rozier, Brown, Tatum, Horford, Baynes, Smart, Morris, and a liiiitle bit of Ojeleye. That’s nuts to me, Brad Stevens is a basketball genius or something. And it came out today that he didn’t get a single vote for CoY from any of his fellow coaches, which to me reeks of jealousy more than anything because that’s ridiculous. Anyone could win with Harden and CP3, anyone could do well in the regular season with Lowry and DeRozan, but what Stevens has had very little to work with in terms of experienced players.

    I don't believe I've been more bored by the NBA playoffs than I've been this season. The Cavs-Pacers series is the most intriguing for me so far.

    They have the best coach in the league , their young players are very good and Horford might be the most underrated player in the league

    Kill me. Kill me now.
