aka the Warriors coronation begins tomorrow. I dont see too many upsets in the first round, maybe the Pacers over the Raptors, because the 3, 4, 5, 6 and seeds are all very even.
News to note. I have been mentioning for months now that the ideal person to coach the TWolves is Thibs because he has the pieces of a great defensive team with Rubio/Towns/Dieng. If he could mold Lavine and Wiggins, its just the ideal spot, and rumors are he is their number 1 choice. It almost makes too much sense. If they can win a top 2 selection in the lottery and somehow get Simmons or Ingram..... watch out. I think that will be a good match for both parties involved.
He's a replacement level player I don't know why people (especially Cleveland) don't realize this now. Just because he blows on offense doesn't make him a great defensive players.
Just checked the box score and can't say I'm surprised by the early foul count.
I've never seen a team look so shell shocked in the playoffs
They have 155 points.
I won't count out Golden State until they are officially eliminated but they've just been punched in the face by a more athletic squad and they can't seem to get back on their feet.
Steph Curry just had an all-time great season, one of the very best in the modern era. People including myself were comparing him to Jordan, saying 2016 Curry might be the best player ever.
Its time for Curry to have that playoff moment. He needs to drop 27 in the 2nd half tonight on the road and lead them to a comeback win.
I mean, if Iggy were Westbrook and one of the Thunder players who hit him were Thompson, Klay would have been called for two fouls.
Westbrook is such an animal, only word to describe him. Murdering Steph in the battle of PGs tonight.
Roberson stepping up huge down the stretch.
GS looks like they're about to be down 3-1.
They have weaknesses when their shots are not falling.
Draymond Green really needs to get his shit together.
If they win tomorrow and force a game 6... well, funny things happen in game 6's. It could be just like the Lakers/Kings game 6. Except that was an elimination game for LA, and they were at home, and they got all the calls...
...oh shit. We're fucked.
If you're arguing the first... shit, I thought Dep would be that guy.
I can't say the Thunder wouldn't be winning without the calls, but I sure hope I get a chance to find out!
The one who looks like shit is Bogut. I wonder if the 73 wins took something out of them.
I'm just fucking around, don't mind me.
The best move at that point to build his legacy would be to go to a team that's just a piece or two away :)

I was teasing. I say some outlandish things.... at times.
Curry doesn't look 100%, but I think he's getting worn out from guarding Russ and from having to fight through so much traffic off the ball.
Last night was tough because he was without Klay for a bunch in the first half due to foul trouble, and Dray has been dogshit so there hasn't been as great ball movement and playing (downhill) as usual.
I was prediciting OKC to win the series before it started, but I'd like to see GS come back and make it a close one.
I've never seen a more explosive player with the ball from the top of the key at attacking the rim-- at least from the guard position. Not even healthy Rose. He is just a freak in a sport of freaks.
