Then Naz, though you may be correct in every aspect, you are most certainly wrong in every aspect. Derrick White shall be The Savior Kawhi took away from us... Pop shall coach forever... lightning will strike for one year and give us another top player... wahhhhhhhhh...

I've been watching the NBA off and on since the 1990s. You're actually right in quite a few aspects… o_o

And to think that Boston's largest margin of victory in any game was just 10 points.

Raptors take Game 4 with a 107-85 victory. Kawhi and Pascal lead the way.

All you need is to be consistently a little bit better than your opponent.

And as Portland goes up 3-1 on OKC, I realize I may have spoken too soon...

Milwaukee about to sweep Detroit out the door.

No sweep for Houston.

Swept. Is it time for the Giannis-to-LA sweepstakes?

“I don’t like being Hollywood,” Giannis recently said about being offered a role in Space Jam 2, a part he denied, while not-so-subtly referring to his aversion to playing in LA. I’m biased as a Bucks fan, but I don’t see him leaving Milwaukee. Mainly because he’s incredibly loyal to the city and loves it here, and we’ve been winning recently, and could win big this year. Second, I don’t see him selling out to a big American team like the Lakers or Knicks, perhaps the only two places that could lure him away. He doesn’t have the innate desire to play for a team like that, not like kids growing up on the streets here have. He’s not KD or Lebron dreaming of joining the pantheon of one of those teams because those teams don’t matter as much to him. Iverson was his favorite player as a kid, so maybe he’ll go to the 76ers, but I don’t think he’ll leave MKE.

The Magic has run out for Orlando. Toronto moving on.

And bye-bye Brooklyn.

Yo, that buzzer beater to send OKC home!

...Uh, sorry Idzequitch.

Still thrilled about being here in the first place, even more thrilled that we embarrassed them.

The Thunder need to either fix Russell Westbrook, or move on. Whenever he gets to the playoffs, he turns into the most inefficient player in the league. How many bad jump shots can you miss without getting the hint?

It's okay, James Harden will soon take his place if we get to round 2.

I do not have a solution, but it is unfortunate that so many of us missed that shot because we're in a more easterly time zone

By what I can only assume is some Faustian bargain, the Clippers aren't dead yet.

I was about to say something to the effect of "unless ESPN's website is playing tricks on me, the Clippers won Game 5 against the Warriors."

Golden State's still up 3 to 2, but it's surprising this series isn't a sweep.
