    Absolutely garbage offence from the Bucks in the 4th quarter. Dante, Middleton and Lopez all jacking up 30 footers. Jimmy Buckets has that edge and when the game is there to be one, for better or worse you know he wants it. Got it done today.

      I was pretty impressed with the Rockets tenacity and defensive pressure. Harden in particular was very good. Dare to dream that the Lakers choke....

        I watched the first half and LA shot terribly. That's not going to cut it against that high octane offense

          Giannis Limps out of game 4. Heat are a shoe in for the sweep. Or so you would have thought. Middleton steps up in the clutch and they steal 1 back.

            Shame Giannis aggravated the ankle because he was playing pretty awesome before that moment. Looked zeroed in for a big game. Happy for Middleton, he’s theIr best close out guy and should have the ball more in those situations.

              Lakers pump Rockets as Westbrook has a shocker. A pundit said "he plays faster than his brain can keep up" which seems kind of accurate, despite him being an awesome player.

              Could see this series being 5-1 like the last one.

                  Celtics were brutal on offence and defence. Raptors looked a little weary.

                    kawhi was massive in the 4th, his rebounding in particular, but a couple of great passes also and that fingertip block was outrageous

                        It’s a fascinating series. Nuggets are a very good team and a couple of different subs and Murray getting a couple of easier shots and this is a different ball game.

                        My concern with the Clippers is that they can drift in and out of games because of their talent and depth. Want to see a bit more fire in the belly and Lou and Harrell playing a little more together to put pressure on the Nuggets second unit.

                          @ACT-Crusader they are punching above their weight but without a true superstar it's going to be hard to get another game back. Vanvleet is having a career year, Lowry is old but still putting in serious work like Chris Paul. But Siakam is their true scoring threat and he's down on his regular-season figures by quite a bit. I saw Nick Nurse is putting some of it down to Pascal struggling to adjust to the bubble but not really very sure what else is going on.

                            Hard to see a clear title favourite at this point. Every remaining team feels about 80% of a really good team.

                            I still favour Lakers or Clippers, purely down to Lebron and Kawhi. When it all breaks down, they are the only two I trust. But their teams have some pretty glaring flaws.

                                @ACT-Crusader I don't get why Rivers gets away from criticism for the way the Clips are playing. Without doubt they have the most talent, but they fall asleep on D frequently, and their offence seems to revolve around Kawhi, PG and Lou W taking turns

                                  Yeah I reckon they’ve gone away from what they did pre-bubble in the regular season.

                                    How good is Thies playing? I’d love to see Miami vs Celts in CFs.

                                      The Celtics are the only team left I can even remotely get behind. Always liked Walker and Hayward, now Tatum and Brown as well.

                                        As a longtime Lakers fan I can never support the Celtics.

                                        I am cheering for the Clippers though.

                                          @Bovidae is recent times that’s seems to almost be as bad as cheering for the Celtics, as a Lakers fan.
