Memphis Grizzlies vs. OKC Thunder.
Crazy how the NBA has changed (over the years) that these two teams are the most exciting playoff match-up this round.

Can Golden State beat San Antonio?

James Harden(top 26) with a dominant 7-22 performance scoring 26. Parsons on the other hand goes 8-14(6-8 from 3) scoring 25. Looks like the chucker chucked his team out of the playoffs.

Bulls - Nets game seven tonight. Has a game seven ever been less anticipated? The winner plays the Heat, right? If so, what a murder that will be.

Parsons carried them this far, too.

He did have 26, 6, and 7...not like he was awful. He was +3 for the game. They just lost to a better team

Not sure what the national perception is, but it's certainly a big game in these parts! But yes, even if the Nets win tonight, I wouldn't expect any miracles against the Heat. Regardless, the alcohol will be flowing tonight, I am ready ... have to tip my cap to the Bulls for playing the way they are with all these injuries.

Unless Rose comes back, then we may have a series

The Thunder will win 1 game max against the Grizz. Book it.

That'd be about their only hope and it doesn't improve their odds much.
I don't know if "least anticipated" was the correct description. IMO, the series has just been a trainwreck. At any given time, the Bulls have 2-4 players (asides from Rose) who are injured or questionable to play. Deng is out for tonight, and Hinrich is a gametime decision. Yet, the Nets couldn't seem to take advantage and actually fell behind to them.

I'd like to be a Bulls fan, but Noah is far and away the most irritating player to watch (even Kevin Garnett is a distant second). In his mind, he never commits a foul, he's fouled every time he touches the ball, and he yells after doing anything.

I thought Noah would be hot garbage in the NBA. Impressed by how well he has done

Distant?

Granted it was a closer few years ago. KG is certainly irritating, but he strikes me more as just cheap (see: him yanking on Carmelo Anthony's arm a few nights ago).

Memphis leads OKC 16-14 halfway through the first.

Just kidding, that was at the end of the first quarter. Offense is hard. Good news is that Durant made his last three attempts, two of which were fouls. So perhaps he's starting to find the touch.

MEmphis may be the only team with a chance to beat Miami.

Yeah. exciting finish to the Griz/ Thunder.
Durant went into beast mode at the end.

Knicks/ Pacers totally forgot about this series.
I love the two teams are playing, so much history from back in the 90s where it seemed they faced it other every year.
What a great rivarly.

Curry looking like an all-time great early in the 3rd
