The Pacers just got SCREWED!
How the hell was that a foul on Lance Stephenson?! That should have been a jump ball after that great defensive play! I don’t have a horse in this race (although I absolutely LOVE Stephenson) but that was fucking straight BS!
No guarantee that Stephenson wins the jump ball with Green, but you never know.
Now that’s referees screwing the finish up. Not that nonsense Toronto being screwed shit.
Ugh. Series is tied at 2 now. Hopefully this shit goes to 7. I want Stephenson to finally get one from Lebron.

I don’t have much of a problem after he essentially headlocked him and dragged him down. Pacers lost for easier reasons than that.
I’ve watched the Pacers lose four prior times to Lebron, I’m still expecting him to make it five.

That third quarter was just what the doctor ordered for the Rockets, 50 points which was only 1 point shy of the Lakers 51 quarter in '62.
Like Kid, I'm skittish about Houston going all the way, but if they can turn it on like they did, they maybe able to play their way into championship glory.

Westbrook has zero basketball IQ. Maybe people now understand why KD left.

The Westbrook has no basketball IQ has been the thing since last nights game. I read this shit all over YouTube today.
Someone even called him a one trick pony and the one trick being triple doubles. Wtf? That’s a 3 trick pony, no?
Westbrook can’t be the sole person to blame. Yeah he was playing out of control with 4 early fouls, but PG ain’t doing shit and neither is Melo. Plus, some credit needs to go to Utah too. They’re playing great and being coached even better.
Everyone is blaming Russ because he’s the captain of this ship, but they’re acting like Paul George isn’t a superstar anymore. The Thunder have terrible shot selections and our poorly coached. That’s been OKCs major problem for awhile. Their star power is good enough where they shouldn’t lose to a team that is led by Rubio, Gobert and a rookie.

Westbrook shouldn’t be solely blame on the loss and blink of the elimination Melo and PG13 deserves to be blame as much as Westbrook.
But also that should deserve the blame is well the coaching staffs and maybe to a degree the management. You got three stars player who need a ball in their hands it is the coaching staffs including the head coach to make it work on the offensive end. If you have watched many Thunder games this past season and including the playoffs there is basically no structure and no system in place on the offensive end.
All three stars taking turns playing one on one that is a recipe of failure right there. No ball movement at all just stars taking turn isolation that’s it. Yeah that is the fault of those three stars but it is also the head coach fault. It is the head coach job to have a system in place, to emphasis and have the players including superstars to buy into what the head coach want. Yeah it is a player’s league but there is a reason coaches have a place in the league too.
The head coach of the Thunder got out coached, and jazz playing great team basketball out played the Thunder. If anything blame for all three stars and the coaching staffs for out playing and out coaching.

The main question with Russ is, does he elevate teammates and make them better? I don't think so.

Although I’ll be watching Game 7 of the Leafs/Bruins tonight, there’s lot of basketball tonight.
The Rockets look to close out the series against Minnesota in Houston and I expect them to do so. The Wolves have just fallen flat this series and their blockbuster pick up of Jimmy Butler was only good enough to edge out the Nuggets for the 8th seed. I like the Wolves team, but they didn’t look that great this season.
The Cavs and Pacers go back to Cleveland with the series tied. Lebron is going to have to continue holding the Cavs together. I’m rooting for The Pacers, but I think the King is too much in Cleveland.
The Raptors try to help this be a great day in Toronto by doing their half today with the series tied at 2. I think this is a team never loses at home series so I expect the Raptors to pull off the win.
Almost forgot about Utah/OKC. I’m still pulling for OKC to eat their shit together and advance to face Houston so that means I have to pick them to win the next 3. I think they blow out Utah tonight.

Oh come on now!
That was goaltending on Lebron!
This shit is ridiculous.
I am so glad I’m not a die hard Pacers fan.
Lebron with a buzzer beater 3 to win. Oh well. Still would’ve won. Insane. This man is a beast.

That the Pacers had a foul to give and didn’t use it is sad. I guess you’re afraid of the false shot getting free throws from obviously blind refs who missed two calls in last thirty five seconds.
Oh well, the goaltend had me mad until he hit the 3.

If they are afraid for him to made his free throws then they could at the very least double team Lebron force the ball out of his hand and let someone else beat you.
As for goaltending that should be goaltending but at the same token he should attempt a dunk and not a soft lay up. When you got a 6’8 chasinf you it is a better idea to attempt a dunk than that soft layup.

So about that guy in OKC with zero basketball IQ.
The Thunder were down 25 in the 3rd quarter and Russ went off for 20 points. The Thunder came all the way back in the second half to send the series to Game 6.
I went an impressive 5-0 yesterday including the NHL game.
I’m a bad man.

No matter how bad Russ is playing you can NEVER count him out. The man has a never say die attitude like no one else in the league. Now if only he could get some court sense to go with it.

The Celtics have advanced and we are getting Boston/Philly. The future battle for the East will have its first go this playoff. Minus Kyrie and Hayward, I don’t see the Celtics winning the series. Sizers in 6.
In the West, I like the mojo and swag the Pelicans are coming into this series with. AD in his prime versus the Warriors should be fun, but I don’t see the Pelicans winning this series. They’re sort of the Warriors bitch. I got the Warriors in 6 here, as well.
The Jazz surprised me by beating the Thunder, but now they’ll be without Rubio for 10 day’s. Only so much magic you can expect from the rookie Donovan Mitchell. I think his play wins them a game, but that’s it here. I’m going with Rockets in a gentlemen’s sweep of 5.
Tomorrow we see if Lebron advances to Toronto or if Lebron loses his first ever first round playoff series. Can the Pacers do it? I hope so, but I don’t think so. I think Lebron goes off for a 40 point triple double and gets a lot of help from Love and Korver here. I think the Cavs win Game 7 by double digits. Although, if it wasn’t for a non goaltend and Lebron buzzer beater, Indy may have won this in 6. Can the Pacers keep the momentum up?

Ouch. Once upon a time, it was a close game between Golden State and New Orleans. Then the Warriors decided to flex its championship pedigree, by going on a 24-7 run to end the half. This game is over right now.
