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.

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....

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!?!?!

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

I have always been MJ but I am now starting to ask the "If LBJ was in that Bulls team would have they still won? Prolly Yes. If MJ was in this Cavs team, would they still have won? I just don't know"

LBJ has never had a player like Pippen at the Cavs.
Jordan never had a cakewalk Eastern Conference like LBJ has had.
@kiwimurph one of the major sticking points for Lebron sycophants is that Jordan never had to play anyone tough to get his rings.
Lets all just remember that the Cavs were taken to 7 games by a rookie led Celtics..

MJs Bulls had to play teams stacked with hall of fame players.
Portland; Drexler Duckworth Williams Jersey
Lakers; Magic and Showtime
Phoenix; Charles, KJ, Majerle, Chambers, can't remember the rest but they were the best Suns team ever
Seattle; the Glove, Rain man
Utah; Stockton Malone HornacekNo scrubs there.
Then again I'm not sure MJ ever had a supporting cast as bad as this current performing Cavs roster
