Wizards break, 1-0 against Atlanta.
5-0 in the play-offs.
They are good.

Just finished watching the Clippers - Spurs game 7. Paul was just brilliant. Griffin was amazing too. I think Griffin has improved his faceup play quite alot this year. Obviously he's not knocking down three pointers or anything but he's been making mid-range shots with better regularity.

Sweep if Conley doesn't get back soon. Grizzlies really need him.

Great performances from Butler, Pau & Rose. Cleveland surely should be worried right now. Kyrie and LeBron are basically going to have to play their brains out to win this series (it's possible). Pau in particular seems a matchup nightmare against Mozgov or Cavs' starting 4.

Such a Doc Rivers win there by the Clips. Some things about him annoy me but he knows how to play a series.

Huge win for the Clippers without CP. Turnovers killed the Rockets.

Big call. Might be a good one though. Very dependent on the next game and whether it contains Paul.

Rockets defence is below par in the play-offs.They just outscored the Mavs in the first round.
Clippers though have a way tougher defence than the Mavs.And they are a more organized team than the Rockets.
Rockets attack is like street basketball some times,so many turnovers yesterday.

Definitely going to be out-coached. I agree. Clippers are a better team, especially with Paul. I just mean a sweep or gentleman's sweep will definitely occur if Clips can get the next win. Hopefully they do go through too. Clips-GSW would be an excellent a deserving West Final, and will be extremely spicy as the two teams really really don't like each other.

LeBron played like a man tonight  ;D evening up the series 1-1 heading back to Chicago.  My only frustration was Iman getting injured  :-\ , after starting and playing his best offensive game this season for us as well!, and his defense is always great hopefully he can recover quickly.

Also the top 3 prospects in this years draft not attending the combine is a fucking joke. If only for the lack of measurements.

Yeah I like Simmons. Still, they should stick Zach Lowe and Ryen Russillo together on an NBA pod. Rather than some of the idiots they have on the Lockdown pod. Everyone except Amin Elhassan are awful on that.

Yeah, I like Amin but the rest are boneheads, particularly the host. I haven't listened to Lockdown in a month or so, mostly because of the sheer amount of pods to which I subscribe these days.  :-\

Same feelings. He's good and young but I dunno. I guess it's also about what a current max deal will look like in the new salary cap in a few years time. Might not be as significant.

I've decided I want Chicago to make the finals. Considering it's Thibodeau's last stand in Chicago and he probably wont be going to a contender afterwards, I'd like to see the defensive genius get a 7 games series against an all-time offense like GSW. See how he goes about it. Would be a great series of adjustments.

I want them to mostly because it'd be funny to laugh at Cleveland/LeBron (not that I have any particular beef with them) for trading Wiggins for a rental. And because I have $20 riding on it.
