Can't make all that Chinese money if you don't play... Canceling the playoffs would have killed the league and they know that so I figured they'd just take a few days off and come back. Ask the NHL. Even MLB has never 100% recovered from the 94 strike, average attendance and ratings have never been as high as they were pre-strike even in the Yankee dynasty/home run chase glory days in the late 90's.

Rockets only hit 3 more threes than Lakers and still won by 15. Lakers are going to have to make adjustments. Thereβs also going to have to be a player on the Lakers other than Davis and LeBron that can consistently step up.

I didn't even get to see game. I've been in total darkness for 12 hours. Well, I guess since sundown but still ugh. It was a nightmare.

LETS GO CELTICS!!
I fucking canβt stand the Raptors (mainly because of the commentators and the fans). So happy to have gotten through that frustrating and gruelling series.

This Rockets team has to end. D'Antoni is not a championship coach, he has never known how to make adjustments to his gameplan in the playoffs when his philosophy is not winning. Even if he tried, he does nothing throughout the season to equip his team to execute those changes because all they've ever done is ball-watch Harden and shoot 3s. But in the playoffs, that open 14-footer when the defense is closing in hard on the 3-point line is a viable option.

Also, the fact Westbrook's season ends every year with him talking shit despite being one of the main reasons his team is losing has gone past being funny and now I'm just embarrassed for him.

So let me get this straight, whoever wins Game 7 is going to be playing the Lakers on a back to back? Great scheduling, guys. Of course the fact this is going to Game 7 is hilarious to begin with. Everyone waiting all year for the battle of Los Angeles, and the Nuggets are just going to piss all over it. The Lob City era may be over for the Clippers, but the infection seems to have remained.

Is Doc getting fired or what? Iβm pretty sure that I seen Chris Haynes report that thereβs no plan to fire him, but youβd think that itβd at least be considered. Doc is so overrated and it really showed this post season.

But in the playoffs, that open 14-footer when the defense is closing in hard on the 3-point line is a viable option. This Rockets team as it was built just was not going to beat a physical team like the Lakers with so many physically strong guys in the lineup all the time. Even in the finesse positionless basketball era you're going to get pushed around by certain teams playing a lineup full of guys who are like 6'5. You could play 4 guys like that but they could really use a 7 footer or at least a guy who's like a solid 250ish and really strong. Anyway, I'm calling a Lakers-Celtics finals which is exciting in principle but the Lakers are probably dropping whoever they play from the East in 4 straight. This was looking like the most exciting playoffs for a while going in but the Lakers are dominating and the teams that were supposed to challenge them (Clippers, Bucks) have underperformed.

1. I hate Jayson Tatum. The number of shitty plays he's made at the tail ends of both these last two games is just sad. I was actually stunned when he passed the ball (after thinking about it) to Jaylen for that three attempt at the end.
2. As has already been said, watching all these teams - Clippers and Bucks in particular, but seemingly the Celtics now too maybe go the way of the Dodo has just been hilarious/pathetic.
3. As someone who has absolutely hated this D'Antoni Rockets team I thought they played the Lakers beautifully for about a game and a half, and the way they just totally fell apart after that was pretty sad. Like I don't think they were even trying in the last two games.
4. Looking forward to Jokic-Davis a LOT. The one up side of not getting the battle of Los Angeles.
5. The Kawhi haters can go straight to fucking hell. Dude has as many titles as Lebron did at the same age.
6. I'm sure next season and in the years ahead walking around with the title of MVP will be great, but it's always been so funny to me how awful the timing of that announcement always is. Can Giannis even appreciate it a little bit right now, or anyone take it particularly seriously when the playoffs went as underwhelmingly for him as they did?
