    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 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.

        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.

        Celtics look strong at the moment. They are young, athletic, well coached and deep. Hayward will be back for the CFs too

        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.

                @raznomore I won't have any problem if the Lakers win but I'd be just as happy if there was a first-time winner. That means either the Clips or Nuggets.

                          I don’t think so. He wanted to come back on in game 4 when he was dominating the game, but the injury was too bad.

                              They actually did quite well. They have a few young pieces I didn't know existed before the bubble, if CP3 stayed and they could get the right coach they could build on what they have

                                Lebron’s got that look in his eye tonight. A big first half.

                                  Donovan wasn't really sacked, they just mutually agreed to part ways. Presti will need to work his magic.

                                    Rockets season looks over.

                                    4th Quarter the Lakers have gone to a level Houston just cannot match.

                                      I wouldn't say the Rockets season is over, but the fat lady is warming up.

                                      The revelation of the last two games has been Rondo. If he can keep this level up then the Lakers are very hard to beat. Coupled with big efforts from Lebron and AD, that is a very hard team to stop.

                                        Rondo plus their D - their rotations were more aggressive than I've seen in a while, and jeez Bron looks like he is 25 with those chasedown blocks

                                          The one thing that the Rockets could take from the game is that Gordon, Tucker and Cov didn’t get their shots. Gordon in particular was ineffectual. Make a couple of tweaks and they will have the scoring power to trouble them.

                                          Lebron played an MVP like game today. Rondo hitting open shots is a massive win for Vogel’s rotations.

                                          It’s only 2-1.
