Clippers scored 175 points tonight and lost. 

Me (reces to box scores)

How the hell is Boban in so many commercials

Good weekend for NBA. Bucks and 76ers last night including OC favorite James Harden dropping 38 points. Suns and Mavericks was equally good today and now Celtics and Knicks which would make a hell of a playoff series (they all would) The Knicks have been legit lately.

Grizzlies in free fall mode. Brandon Clarke out for the season with achilles injury, Morant’s antics have gotten him suspended indefinitely by the team. 

How about those Sacramento Kings!! 37-26 and sitting third in the conference standings.

I missed Dame going for 71

Not that I thought the Cavs had any shot of beating the Celtics in a playoffs series, but last night pretty much solidified for me that there is 0 upset potential.

Which is fine, since it'll probably be the ECF if they face them. The best matchup for us is probably, ironically, Milwaukee. But Giannis is terrifying.

Went to Pacers - Rockets game tonight. Hadnt been to a NBA game in years. Wish I lived closer to a team. Over three hours from cleveland, two hours to Indianapolis. 

Haliburton will be very good. Think he finished with 19 assists. 

That Rockets team is baaad. I’m familiar with a couple starters but after that it’s sketchy. They do have Boban who just acts like a goof the whole time. 

Dallas Mavericks having themselves a couple weeks.

3-7 in last ten games.

Just lost back to back games to the Charlotte Hornets (4th worst team in the league)

Now a game out of the play in tournament, could be two games out if OKC wins tonight.

Kyrie 18 points on 5-15 shooting and had another fan ejected today. 

Doncic had his 16th technical today which means he’ll be suspended in a must win game tomorrow at Indiana. 

By the way, Doncic is near the top of my favorite players to watch. But god damn he may whine more than anyone. He never shuts up. Hence, being suspended tkmorrow for too many technicals. 

Think just about every team has a couple games left. Regular season concludes Sunday then play-in starts Tuesday. 

Still a lot TBD for the first round especially in the west. Should be intriguing watching it play out these last few days. There could still be a lot of movement in the final standings.

I believe the only matchup for certain is #4 Cavs and #5 Knicks which shapes up to be one of the better matchups of the first round. Brunson and Mitchell have been awesome.

The play-in games continue to deliver. This one in a spectacular form of comedy.

Raptors miss 18 free throws and choke away the game…..

And they had help lol

Draymond gonna Draymond.

Sabonis hits the deck. Sabonis got tangled inadvertently, imo, with Draymonds legs. Sabonis then purposefully, imo, grabbed his leg. Then Draymond responded to that by curbstomping the guys chest. JFC, the dude is a joke. 

His excuse is either the biggest self own, or he is a liar. I think we all know which it is. Becasue while his leg was grabbed, any athlete post like 5th grade can avoid a body below them. It just isnt that hard. 

10:30 start on the east coast is not ideal. I can barely get to half.

I was very pleased to wake up to GS being down 0-2 and Draymond getting thrown out.

In real time I half side with Draymond.  And I can't stand him.  The acting job by Sabonis was nice (rolls eyes)

It’s been a great series. Wouldn’t be surprised if it went 7 games. Golden State is a very tough place to win. 

If Draymond restrains himself and isn’t ejected, the Warriors may end up winning that game. 

Hopefully the Cavs/Knicks and Suns/Clippers games tonight are good. Some of these other series look like trash.

No Dray for Game 3 could be big. 

Sweet game, Cavs.

Sweet game, Cavs. 

Cavs have checked out. Surprised they won game 2. Will be interesting to see if they move on from Bickerstaff after this. Looking like a good starter coach, ala Mike Brown, but not the guy to get them to the next level.

These playoffs have sucked ass minus the Kings - Warriors. Giannis, Kawhi, Embiid didn’t play today and for the final game Lakers up by 20+ in second quarter. Good thing the Clippers managed PG/Kawhi so much this season for them to end up playing a combined two playoff games (assuming Kawhi doesn’t play Tuesday and they lose, both which seem likely) 

The Nets and Timberwolves had no business being in the playoffs in the first place. 

And why are there so many odd instances of hitting each other in the balls 

Fucking Cavs. 

Not sure why Lamar Stevens is not getting minutes; I would think this is exactly the type of opposition and series he would be valuable in. 

Jimmy Butler goes for 22 points in last 7:18 for big rally win for Heat

Had 56

Memphis had the lead with 6 seconds and a chance to even the series 2-2 going back home. Instead they cant stop Lebron and will be down 3-1. 

I could see Milwaukee still being alive in their series. Not sure about Cleveland, and even less sure of Memphis.
