RE: NBA Playoffs

This series isn't over as it's not like OKC are untouchable at home. Provided of course, the Clippers take the next game otherwise they're done.

I'd take 10-1 odds on it easy. LAC isn't winning 3 out of 4

Good first quarter in Brooklyn. Lebron has come out blazing and so have the Nets.

RE: NBA Playoffs

I turned it on at the beginning of the 4th period. Why are the Heat getting their doors blown off? Now it's a 19 pt lead w/ 6 min left

Incredible shooting display from Brooklyn with 15-25 on 3's and I'm guessing 6 or 7 came in that 3rd quarter alone when they got the big lead. That was the difference.

Meanwhile Portland seems headed for a 3rd straight blowout. I figured this would be an easy series but not like this. I knew Portland would not be able to score on the Spurs like Dallas did, too much of a traditional half court team, but SA's execution on offense is what has made for 3 barbecues.

Overrated Tony Parker still doing his thing ;)

Spurs are looking as solid as ever. Only OKC can stop them.

RE: NBA Playoffs

I wouldn't be shocked if they win game 4 but that'd probably be it. Miami's perimeter defense is what suffered this year and one of the reasons I doubt they are winning it all.

I think Clips win today and tie the series as it goes back to OKC

I think Clips get one more game. I was thinking it would be today.

RE: NBA Playoffs

A game like game 3 broke the camel's back. The fact of the matter is they simply can't stop Durant or Westbrook and it is just easy pickings. Clips are one of those teams that gets called a "good defensive" team when they shouldn't be labeled as such.

OKC really messed up. I still think they'll take the series, but this should have been virtually put to bed already.

Well if I was always right I'd change my name to Clay Death

I didn't see any of it but was following the score. Surprising turnaround keeps the Clippers' season alive though I do think OKC still takes it for sure.
