This would be a series of PG13 was playing. But I think Phoenix might sweep it.

I watched that Suns/Clippers highlight. I like how they were doubling Durant and Booker just exploded for 38. 25 for Durant is an off night for him. You're right. If PG-13 was there, it would be more competitive. Westbrook was out of his mind last night but it's not enough.

Atlanta looks like broom material. Maybe they win one game in Atlanta. Big maybe. Who's going to stop the Celtics? Maybe the Knicks.

The best series are definitely in the West this year. PHX V. LAC (lots of veteran star power in this series) and SAC V. GSW.

Reminds me of when CP3/Blake Griffith Clippers beat the defending champion San Antonio Spurs in the 2015 Playoffs first round in game 7. This should not have been a first round match either.

Chris Paul's series winning shot over Tim Duncan.

Definitely something for the Clippers (and the rest of the NBA) to think about. Clippers were Load Management Central all season and what did that do for them? PG13 still out. Maybe had their big guns played more they would have had a higher seed and home court advantage, avoiding the Suns till the second round or later? Instead they have to go through the biggest battle in the first round. Serves them right. Hope they lose too.

Anthony Davis, just smh. Dont even know what to say at this point. Memphis missing two of their best interior defenders. He should be averaging 35-20 easy. The Lakers need to trade him now while there is still some sucker who will pay top dollar for him. Sorry Lebron. It's time for the rebuild.

Embiid, Harden, Maxey and, ::cough:: Harris? Tobias has been on fire in this first round. The Knicks have to turn it around. Quickley and Barrett better be shooting 100 jumpers during practice because right now they can't hit the side of a barn.

Love Lebron but as long as this cocky S.O.B. wants to play there will be no rebuild. He's going to command top dollar, do his 'roids(allegedly) and I think he's invested in AD, for some odd reason. I think he has the right supporting players with him but they just didn't get it done last night.

Bucks win without Giannis and Middleton having a so-so game. 25 three pointers. I think we have some dogs in the East. Sixers, Bucks, Celtics, Cleveland and, maybe, the Knicks. I'll put them up against any squad in West.
