the refs had a nice hand in the end of both games.

that said, i would rather let them play than call everything in the last minute of the game.

There are some people grumbling about the refs, but all of these playoffs games have been officiated like that. It's playoff officiating and I just wish the entire season was officiated that way.

Finished the Dallas game.  Luka is the best player on earth when he plays defense like that.

Speaking of defense.  6 teams played last night and 3 didn't score 100.  A fourth only had 105.  Playoff basketball.

That was a really good game. Despite my dislike of Kyrie, I love watching Luka play so I'm rooting for Dallas (and also because Harden is on LA).

It was awesome seeing the Wolves win again as well. Ant has arrived and I love seeing KD fail. Wolves vs Nuggets next round would be epic.

East hasn't been quite as compelling to me yet outside of Knicks vs Sixers.

I would sell body parts to get McDaniel's on the pistons.

Spo does it again.

Jalen Williams is another player I love.

Impressed with everyone from OKC tonight.

Good coaches elevate their teams and make them better than the sum of their parts.

Bad coaches...well, I don't need to explain this. We've all lived through the past 20 years together. Monty was just the exclamation point.

So tired of hearing how "Monty will do better if he gets better players." Sure, and they'll only perform at or below their individual ability. That's the definition of a bad coach. We've all just forgotten because it's been so long since we had Larry Brown and Rick Carlisle.

You have to beat Dallas on a night Kryie and Luka combine to only score 43.  Most nights one of them will get that by themselves.

I wonder where KD goes next.

Pretty impressive for OKC, the youngest team in the playoffs, to go on the road and get the 20+ point win.

That Kyrie layup was insane.  Best shot maker in the league.  

[Deleterious]

How the hell did that go in?

 

[Deleterious]

Harden has really stepped up in the fourth.  

[Deleterious]

In their loss today, Embiid was 0-5 from the floor with only 1 point in the 4th quarter.

The Suns getting swept was beautiful.

They were just giving him layup after layup. It was mind boggling. Some of the worst defense I've seen in a while.
