    I know this is total fantasy but if the Blazers or Denver are allowed to play the way they are against each other against either of those teams we will have a very new WCF Champion.
    Refs are letting the Blazers and Nuggets beat the hell out of each other.

    Perspective is funny. We are doom and gloom going to Denver with series tied. But damn, you should see doom and gloom in today's SF Chronicle, and that's sportswriters, not hyperemotional fans. Yet, they are tied going home. Meanwhile Rockets feeling great in exactly position Portland is in, tied and playing a road game. In fact they are worse off since they have yet to show they can win a playoff game in Oakland.

    It's the same way on Nugget Talk. They are absolutely sure they have this series won now. All they have to do is show up and the series will be handed tom them.

    Sixers are getting blown out. This is why you don’t waste the opportunity if you have a chance to go up 3-1.

    FWIW, good or bad, there's still a 2nd half to play.

    You are not beating a good team twice on their floor.

    It's just exactly the kind of post that needs to be marked and then the Mods need to make it the posters signature on every post.

    Well, The Celts, with alt their picks, talent, coaching just don't seemed to mix well.
    Is Brad Stevens really a great coach or is he just as mediocre as the rest?
    Malone, Stotts & rivers have done more with less, imo.

    I like the position we are in as a team win or lose this series.
    I believe if we could acquire one solid scoring vet power forward, we will be even stronger for the next few years and be right in the thick of it!

    Is Embiid high? Why on earth is he taking 6 3 point shots? Brown should bench him for playing so selfish. Arguably biggest game of career and you decide its a good night to try your hand at 3s?? Not to mention 8 t/o!

    Stevens is great.

    If you don't have a good culture, it doesn't matter how good a coach is. Kyrie is a poor peader and their culture isnt good. Without him, they were 1 game from the Finals last year. Giannis is also a freak of nature and Milwaukee is really good.

    People base coaching off of results too much.

    PC getting big minutes for the Bucks; nice to see. Plays his role and Budz likes his game. Is there a better all around athlete (ie multiple sports) in the NBA than Pat?
