    That was Kersey-esque.

    The Bulls 3peated twice. Kerr won his 4th in a row with the Spurs following the dissolution of the Bulls' dynasty.

    Yes, Denny, I know that. I was pointing out that you can't say Jordan was responsible for Kerr's 4th championship. That's when Kerr got to carry Duncan.

    No, in fact Blazer fans are biologically incapable of feeling happy. That's why we follow the Blazers. Anybody who needed to seek happiness would long ago have abandoned this team.

    Shouldn't he just have said: "BREAKING: Kyle Korver's ankle."

    Wow, Hawks about to get swept. By a team that never had one of its "Big Three" or Anderson Varejao at all, and was without another of the big three for at least one game (and he's been hobbled otherwise). This was a team that went undefeated for an entire calendar month. What happened? They've got to be ending with an even sourer taste in their mouths than we did. Will this give them pause about re-signing Carroll and Millsap? Is it Horford's fault? What went wrong?

    Meanwhile, the legend of LeBron grows apace.

    This playoff run by the Cavs has been crazy.... They've lost only 2 games with all these injuries.

    If they somehow beat the Warriors I wonder how people will discredit Lebron. Down year?

    I hope Houston wins another one just so Kyrie can rest up. Kyrie v. Curry should be the show. (Instead it will be LeBron v. Draymond.)

    The X factor is JR Smith. He's always had insane talent, he's just usually fucked it up. What is it with JRs? Super athletic, great shooters, zero brain cells.

    I don't think the X-Factor will be a player... It's gonna be how the Warriors deal with the Cavs insane hustle and toughness. The Cavs are the Grizzlies with firepower.

    Atlanta is getting pounded harder than HCP's wife when she is at (insert black guys name)'s house.

    You do realize that the finals start the same date no matter when Golden State (or Houston) wins, right?

    If Warriors had swept, it was going to be earlier.

    Wrong. The NBA announced before game 4 they couldn't move the date because of all the logistics and international media.

    Every series can move forward or back except they don't do that for the finals. By the way the longest layoff for two teams before the finals has been 5 days. If GS wins tonight it is 7 days.

    Cleveland is loving this break, Kyrie and LeBron get some much needed rest. I hope the rockets extend the series tonight.

    Why? No added days off. Unless you just want GS to get beat up more and possibly lose in the finals?
