        Taken back homecourt advantage now. Game 5 is pivotal.

        I read that GSW had beaten the Bulls' record for the most consecutive playoff home wins after game 3. There ends the streak.

          Rockets vs GSW game 5 is bananas. Rockets up with 2sec remaining.

          And they do it. Up 3-2 now, and the Warriors are facing defeat. Iguodala has been a huge loss, but CP3 may have picked up a bad injury in the 4th quarter so they are certainly still alive in the series.

            Best case for the east is rockets win and CP3 hammy doesn't heal up (not saying I want that). If anything apart from that happens I think we are already watching the final.

              I think the Celtics will be a tougher out than the Cavs as they defend well and have a more balanced offense. And that's not even mentioning Brad Stevens.

                ffs, Rackets up by 17 in 1st Q then implode like a goddamn dying star and are about to lose by 8 million. Harden with his usual playoff pointy-end massive hungus choke meltdown job. When it works he looks majestic, when it doesnt it's just 4 guys standing around watching one sad homeless git biff up flailing prayers while trying to milk a foul

                Can you provide the blow by blow commentary for the rest of the playoffs mate? 24K as usual 🙂

                  It's bloody great to have two Game 7s with no clear favourites in either.

                  I could talk myself into backing each of the four teams. If the games were in Cleveland/Oakland then I'd be far more convinced of the likely outcome, but having the 'champion' teams playing away is a great little curveball.

                  I'll still side with the champs and predict a GSW/Cavs series, but I would not be surprised to see the opposite.

                    Houston needs CP3 to play obviously. Without him I don't think that the Rockets win, even at home. I hope they do.

                    The Celtics have yet to lose a playoff game at home, and short of LBJ getting 50+ or a meltdown under the pressure I can't see them losing.

                      Boston up early in Game 7. Crowd going wild. Tatum hitting shots. They will be very very hard to stop.

                      Side note - they should hold the rookie of the year voting until after the playoffs. At the end of the regular season Simmons would win by lengths, but if you held the vote today it would be hard to go past Tatum.

                        Celtics rolling. Amazing that they have done all this without Hayward or Irving

                          Cavs close to within 4 at the half. Hold the phone on the Cavs demise..... If the game is close I seem to recall LBJ plays for CLE

                            JR Smith is just horrible. With a couple of vaguely competent teammates around him, Lebron would have won this series in 5. Instead he's surrounded by the Washington Generals and somehow they are still alive!

                                @barbarian he's also playing against a team without their two biggest superstars....

                                    Lebron too good.

                                    Felt like Celtics lost it more than Cavs won it though - the young Celtics just went ice cold in the 4th - not surprising at all but a little bit of an anti-climax.

                                      Yeah the inexperience caught up with the Celtics. But the play from Rozier, Morris and Smart was infuriating - Tatum and Horford were clearly the best two players out there, but they refused to give them the ball. Just kept bricking shot after shot. Madness.

                                      Somehow Lebron survives. They will make docos about this season. Surely he can't do it again... surely!?!?!

                                        The Celtics were 7/39 for 3 pt shots. Those 2 attempts from Rozier near the end summed up their problem on the night.

                                          LBJ. Jesus what a playoff run. If he can beat the Western Conference finalist then i might change my GOAT vote.
