That was good playoff intensity ball. Ja will learn some lessons there as he made some costly turnovers in that 4th quarter, being a little careless with the ball.

Blazers in 6

It will be fascinating to watch (although I'm struggling to get into bubble ball right now). It is hard to bet against LBJ in the playoffs, even though LAL have looked poor in the bubble so far. I think that when the round starts, LBJ fires up and with AD they will be more than a match for the Blazers. But I son't think they will take them lightly

Mitchell drops 57 but it's still not enough to get the Jazz past Denver in OT.

Raptors predictably take care of the Nets in a high scorer

Dallas were well in the game vs the Clippers, until Porzingas got ejected in a total stitch up of a call. Going to be tough now

[raznomore]

That wasn't a rough call on the unicorn. It was a blatant call to get either Luka or Porzingas out of the game to ensure the Clippers go through to the next round. According to twitter.

Porzingas should have known better than to choke Morris's hand with his throat.

[canefan]

@raznomore the first call was a bit tough, but he should have known better. They were actually leading when he checked out

[mariner4life]

Bucks lose the first, and easily.

Heat win as well.

[Bovidae]

Home court advantage does matter!

OKC are struggling at the moment against a Russ-less Rockets.

Portland jumped out to a 16 point Q1 lead, but the Lakers have closed it to 2 points and we are not even halfway through Q2. Rondo is watching on, might be dressing for the games as soon as he gets clearance

@mariner4life Fultz was every bit the first-round draft pick he's supposed to be.

He's better off in ORL than Philly. Lower expectations, better fit, and Philly aren't going to win anything anytime soon

[raznomore]

@Bovidae they shut down Paul and it was easy from there. Adams was dealing with PJ Tucker for most of the game and only got 13 looks. He must be the most untrustworthy $100m player with the ball in the league. I know his post moves are average but to not feed him the ball in that situation is crazy. Schroeder and SGA were having an awful night and Adams had 17 in only 28 minutes and I think he finished with only 2 personal fouls. Crazy.

Edit: This is not an Adams hot take from Razbra again...

it's overdue though

[mariner4life]

Also, are the Rockets smokeys if the usual standard of playoff defense and reffing isn't there?

[raznomore]

@mariner4life they were getting a shit ton of 50/50 calls and no calls.

[Bovidae]

@raznomore Yeah, you've got to question Billy Donovan's tactics against a team with no true C. Attack them in the paint.

That, along with Harden's style of ball, is why I dislike them

[canefan]

Tight game with 4 minutes left. AD is ice cold from the field, LBJ is going have to do this on his own

[raznomore]

@canefan Lebron has a serious tripdub going on. 21/15/15

Probably in a losing effort
